We'd intended it to be a one-time guess but we didn't say that so go for it :)

None of the links (other than the Insane one) seem to work?

From:

GAHHHH. Sas is in bed so this will have to wait -- only the last one appears to work so I'm not sure what happened. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll post a note in the activity!

All sorted! :)

Is there anyway we can check if we have enough points for participation, maybe? I just don't want to have messed up. :)

I missed the bidding, but I just wanted to say this:

The properties are SO appropriately placed - especially the railroads!

Gryffindor, of course, would be the primary railroad, Reading. This railroad comes first and has a "GO TO..." card in its name, making Reading appealing and memorable. Hufflepuff would be Pennsylvania, nestled comfortably between the pink and orange properties, both of which are very sensible investments. Slytherin would naturally be the last railroad, Short Line, the direct opposite (yet close neighbor) of Reading. Short Line is situated near the most expensive properties on the board, very attractive territory for those ambitious snakes.

Finally, there's Ravenclaw, which is left with B&O. B&O is the weird railroad. Its name recalls a common initialism for "body odor," and casual Monopoly players typically have no idea what these inscrutable letters mean. (It's actually "Baltimore and Ohio.")

Ok, I'll go do something productive now....

I'm a little confused as to what we're s'pose to do to the most recent post..the additional purchases one :/

From:

We're just waiting for people who won blocks of color (growling, flipflop_diva, etc) to let us know if they want to buy property over their things. The actual game will be coming up soon so for you, no need to do anything in the recent post!

From:

Ooooh. Ok. Thank goodness xD

I'm about halfway through the game, when this happened: http://i.imgur.com/WK9SFB2.png

Help!

ETA: I have images back now.

1) As far as I know, I am the only 'Claw shopkeeper in Flourish this go-round. Is this OK for me to use?
2) I also did not see any Gryffs sign up for shopkeeping as well. (OFC, I always go for the Bingo boards with tons of Flourish) How will we replace these?

From:

1) Yep, that's fine!
2) Any other house is fine. If the ask is for a Gryff shopkeeper receiving an order from Hufflepuff, try to find a reverse situation (Puff receiving a Gryff order). Just remember that don't repeat items already on your list (or if you can't, don't use the same link for more than one item) We'll count good faith effort to replace :)

From:

1) If I remember correctly, no Gryffindor's signed up for a shop this go-around, and my bingo asks for a catalog from a gryff shop. Any advice?
2) Are quotes okay if they're used in a comment to something else...

[Sorry for bothering you guys so often ♥ Keep being awesome]

From:

1) You automatically get it if it's impossible, so congrats!
2) I might need a little context for this one!

From:

Aha, the quote is in a reply to an entry. I don't want to say which~, in case someone hasn't found it yet, but I assume it counts? Because I mean, I don't think you guys just want the quote alone.

From:

Ah, yes that counts!

Hey, so one of mine is "someone takes Lily Evans to the Ball" and the Ball's happened and no one did. Can I fancast one of people someone did take as her? <3

From:

Any luck with the afterparty? if not, as evy's email :)

From:

interchanges.livejournal.com

Yeah, I checked and no one did. So I will do the other thing.

It says "Reply with the correct answer in the BODY of the email to HOGSMEADEMAYOR@GMAIL.COM"- what do we put in the subject? Does it matter?

From:

It doesn't matter :)

I) Do I need to submit anything to you when I receive the final Congratulations message?

II) Am I correct in assuming that the final answer's reply wasn't set up properly until around 4:40 AM UTC? I received no response at all when submitting answers to that one at 4:33 AM (wrong) and 4:34 AM (right) UTC... not until I submitted a different (that I knew was wrong) answer around 4:39 AM UTC.

From:

Nope!

It should be set up right, so we'll go check, but we'll judge this by the time you sent the right answer.

From:

Just on the off chance - are we eligible for hints or anything? I am stuck on the second question and cannot figure out what it is referring to.

(Also, props to whoever wrote the questions for this and devised the email inner-workings - this is so clever and an excellent compromise to allow some Quidditch! :D)

From:

Unfortunately, no :( Will talk with Sas about possibly setting up a means to have people receive all questions for participation only if they are unable to move from one question to the other, though!

(Thanks! :D)

I was participating in the placement part if the Chaser's Quest before the Participation Only was posted. I only got to Q4 though and that wasn't enough before to count for participation.

Does it count now or do I need to re-apply via the participation only post? Bit confused.

From:

Hey,

Just to make things easier could you re-apply via the participation post? Just want to make sure you don't get lost in the system! But it shouldn't be a problem either way!

Cheers

Absolutely, no problem! <3
