Hogwarts Game Two -- Coming Soon!!!!!

[moonypads]

Game Details:

If you played Game One, don't panic, this will be EASIER!

Who can play Game Two: Anyone with a Vault!  Don't have a vault?  Open one and start with Two Galleons!

There was a lot that worked in our first game and a lot that didn't.  I found that the biggest problem was wondering where to go next or what to do.  This game will be more a choose your own adventure style.  You'll get OPTIONS!

It will still be played via PM's, but every time I send you one it will end with all of your possible options.

For example:

You're standing in your Common Room.  Neville is sitting in a chair reading.  There's a desk with a book on it and a new notice posted on the bulletin board.

~ Leave Common Room
~ Go to Dorm
~ Talk to Neville
~ Look at book
~ Look at bulletin board

See? MUCH easier!  You just choose one and then I go from there!

You: I go to my dorm

Me:  Up in your dorm are five beds, including yours.  Every bed has a locked trunk at the bottom.  You've got a pile of folded laundry on your bed, courtesy of the House Elves.

~ Return to Common Room
~ Look out window
~ Put away Laundry

Here's the thing, some don't matter!  Like putting away your laundry.  You might not get anything from it.  The game would be TOO easy if I only put options you need!

One last thing, the options you get will be tailored to things you buy/have from Diagon Alley!  If you know the spell Alohomora, you might have gotten the option ~ Unlock Roommates' Trunks or something.  Players who don't know the spell, wouldn't get that!

Never fear, the game will be designed so that ANYONE can finish, even if you don't own anything from Diagon Alley!  But, buying things there could help!

I'm still in the process of writing/perfecting the game.  It should be up and ready to play fairly soon.

If you're interested, please post here to let me know!   Since it will be played through PM's, there won't be any deadlines or anything.  You can start and finish it whenever you like!

One thing I forgot to mention:

If you want to do the minimum to beat the game: That is, get the password and the lesson plans, some of the rooms don't matter.

If you want to unlock every secret: Then every single room is necessary.  There are no pointless rooms to throw you off.  If you enter a room and it seems empty, maybe you've chosen a bad time.

Some of the current players are, in the nicest way possible, really failing. 

I kid, you aren't failing.  Some of you just seem to be zeroing in on the wrong things and totally missing the ones right in front of you!  I know that this isn't impossible, since two people have already beaten it and two more are inches from it.

So, here are some hints for those still playing:

If you haven't figured it out yet, there are things you have to buy from Diagon Alley in order to win, don't worry, you will end this game with more money than you started with.

Remember, I tell you everything.  If you're confused about what a Professor wants you to do look over the initial PM I sent when you first walked into the room.

  Some people seem confused or forgetting that each Professor has more than one thing you can do for them.  I suggest you read this thread over again.

  Finally, don't be discouraged!  I designed this to be a bit confusing, but just read carefully and think outside the box.  And, not everyone has tried to take advantage of this yet, if you really need help, ask me!
