Bingo Sign-ups: Attendance & Attire



Come on over and shake that adorable cottontail of yours! This thread serves as both the sign-up hub for our RPG Bingo Challenge and a showcase space for your characters. Share who’s attending, what they’re wearing, and any Portkey-related donations you’re bringing along. Once the event begins, this is also where you’ll track your Bingo progress, update your post with completed tasks, and show off just how lucky (or mischievous) your character can be!

The Bingo cards are an in-character (IC) element of the event. While we won’t be actively playing Bingo in real time, you can imagine department heads and Ministry employees calling out numbers throughout the afternoon as part of the festivities.

Whenever you complete one of your RPG tasks out-of-character (OOC) by posting your character performing the task, your character has heard that number called IC and may cross it off their card.

How to participate:

1. Make a post with your character(s) and any Portkey donation details here. Please only make one post listing all your characters. You can also share what they are wearing if you like - just make sure all graphics adhere to SS Rules.
   
   
2. Department heads will add a Bingo card (under a spoiler tag) to your post.
   
   
3. Each Bingo card contains nine numbers, and each number corresponds to a unique RPG challenge or task for you to complete! Once you’ve finished a task, simply return to your post and edit in the link to track your progress and mark that number as claimed. Tasks can be completed anywhere your Ministry of Magic characters are playable.
   
   
4. Complete a full row, column, or diagonal to claim an IC prize for your character!
   
   Keep in mind
   
   Each participant’s progress is individual. If another member completes a task, that doesn’t count for your card.
   
   To mark a number as completed, you must personally write out the task in an RP post and link it back to your Bingo card post.

Challenges and the possibility of completing a Bingo will remain available during the remainder of this Ministry year.
