1. Mod team additions and departure
We're proud of our Emoz dungbombsrule, who's finishing her graduate program and has landed an exciting new job! Sadly, this means she'll be needing to leave the mod team (though not the game, we're happy to note).

As you may have noticed, we've fallen behind a bit in Sortings, for which we apologize. To keep things moving more quickly, former mod Cat dinosaurman is stepping back up to lend a hand when needed, and to replace Emoz we are adding a new full-time mod as well, Bri maid_brienne. Bri has been an HH player since 2006 (Tyrion Lannister's app), and we're thrilled to have her on the mod team.

2. Prefect elections!
Prefect elections are coming! Next week, in fact. Later tonight we'll make the prefect nominations post, and next Monday (Aug. 24) the actual poll for voting will be posted. Each House gets two prefects. OOCly, our rules limit a player from having more than one prefect character at a time. However, players who already have a professor character are eligible to acquire a prefect character as well. (That's 1 professor and 1 prefect per mun, if the tl;dr got confusing.) We'll link more details in the prefect nominations post. '

ETA: If you want your char nominated ICly but don't know who would do it and they wouldn't do it themselves, feel free to make an OOC note here. We got the raptor and Elric nominated!

3. Reminder: contact post
Our new contact post is taking shape as hoped, with everyone's help! It's only as useful as we all make it, though. Consider yourselves reminded: If you haven't already added your characters to the new contact post, please do so. If you've apped or popcorned someone, please add or delete them accordingly. <3
