Harry Potter: Surviving Hogwarts

Hello and Welcome to the main discussion thread for the first season of Harry Potter: Surviving Hogwarts. (Yes i hope to make more). The game will see 12 contestants take on tasks and challenges to survive the fate of death, and leave Hogwarts alive.


http://i.imgur.com/QsiUa.png
Since the battle between Lord Voldemort and Dumbledore's Army finished 14 years ago, Hogwarts has since become a safe haven once again with pupils returning each year. However, something is brewing. Unfinished business is about to arise as the new year starts at Hogwarts. Pupils are no longer safe..

Launch: Day 1: Wednesday April 11th 2012
Day: 17
Contestants Remaining: 0
Next Elimination: N/A
Finalists Niamh, Doogle, InOne and Kate
Finale: Day 17: Saturday 28th April 2012


Format
12 Contestants are split into their respective Houses. As soon as they are split the first task is set. The teams race to complete the task first and whoever does will win immunity from elimination. If all teams pass the task, the winning team must then choose two people from the other three teams to face elimination.

If the teams fail the task, one member from each House will be placed up for elimination. This continues until there are only four people left in the game for the final.

Tasks will be set after the eliminations. Some individuals will be set secret tasks ect. All tasks will be based on the Harry Potter series, as well as the individual tasks. Other things will be happening but i want to keep these secret until the game is underway.

Nomination and Elimination Process

Once a task is over, whichever team passed the task first (if it's a individual task) will automatically be immune from elimination. Everyone will then be required to nominate two people from the other three teams for Elimination. Once all of the nominations have been received, voting will open to eliminate the contestant you want to see out of the game.

Contestants will be required to send the name of the contestant they would like to see eliminated. There will also be a public vote which will count for the votes. The contestant with the most votes to eliminate will then leave the Game.

[Jarrod]

I also forgot to mention, If you've been accepted you'll get a Hogwarts letter..

[Kate!]

:amazed:

[Jarrod]

I'm working on all of your wizard tasks ect at the moment. It's looking good so far :)

[Jarrod]

We've already had 3 applications.

[Kate!]

Do you just allocate people to houses randomly?

[InOne]

I assume you're a Harry Potter maniac to run this game properly :suspect:

[Jarrod]

House Allocation is based on your application and your forum behaviour ect. And No.. I'm not Harry Potter mad at all... :P

[Callum]

House Allocation is based on your application and your forum behaviour ect. And No.. I'm not Harry Potter mad at all... :P

Bit silly then running a game on it if you don't know much about the series. :crazy:

[Patrick]

You really should say how it's going to work.
What if I apply, and then you reveal the format and I'm like 'meh and drop out? :(

[Jarrod]

Bit silly then running a game on it if you don't know much about the series. :crazy:

I was being sarcastic. I love Harry Potter. Else i wouldn't be running this game.

[Doogle]

I really wasn't going to sign up to many more games but this one interests me greatly.

[Jarrod]

You really should say how it's going to work.
What if I apply, and then you reveal the format and I'm like 'meh and drop out? :(

Okay.


Way it works.

12 Contestants are split into their respective Houses. As soon as they are split the first task is set. The teams race to complete the task first and whoever does will win immunity from elimination. If all teams pass the task, the winning team must then choose two people from the other three teams to face elimination. Then the forum vote for who they want off.

If the teams fail the task, one member from each House will be placed up for elimination. This continues until there are only four people left in the game for the final.

Tasks will be set after the eliminations. Some individuals will be set secret tasks ect. All tasks will be based on the Harry Potter series, as well as the individual tasks. Other things will be happening but i want to keep these secret until the game is underway.

[Jarrod]

Added a little back story also.

[Jarrod]

Four people have applied from just today..

[Jamie.]

I'm really looking forward to this Jarrod, you carry it on and don't listen to immature children like him :)

And that's really rude Callum, be really ashamed with yourself

[Jarrod]

Thanks for all the applications i've had so far! I can see this working. I've also requested an Award to be added to the winner's profile:

http://i.imgur.com/9sBSr.png

[Jamie.]

-stares at award and grins :D an evil, evil grin -

[Doogle]

-wants-

[Niamh.]

I've just ignored it. If that's his opinion then so be it. If this game turns out like that, at least i had a go. This is my first game i've hosted.. It's going to be a little rusty in places.

I think you'll do fine Jarrod, I'm looking forward to it anyway, also I want that award :laugh:

[Jarrod]

I think you'll do fine Jarrod, I'm looking forward to it anyway, also I want that award :laugh:

Thanks :) and You might get it.. If you win :P

[Jarrod]

Let's hope my new signature attracts people to apply.

[InOne]

How do you sort people into houses?

[Doogle]

I want it :@@@

[Jarrod]

How do you sort people into houses?

The successful applicants are sorted into the Houses by their application form and the way they act on a regular basis around the forum. From the people who have applied already, i have a fair idea where they are.

[InOne]

Did my application go through? Forum was being gay at the time and I kept double clicking

[Kate!]

It bugs the help outta me when people bash games, if you can't say owt nice then zip your lips. I appreciate anyone who has a go at doing any sort of game on here, and if they don't work out, well so what. I tried a betting one with virtual tibb money last year and made a complete balls of it, but nvm :D lol. But I've done others that have gone okay. I think.

- dies in corner -

:joker:

Good luck Jarrod, it will be fun.

[Jessica.]

[Jarrod]

I've never run a game before... Will reply to all your messages and say who's applied in full so you all know in a hour or so.

[Jarrod]

Yes your application came through :)

[Marc]

-Really wants that Award-.... :laugh2:

[Kate!]

After that speech I hope you've applied :suspect:

I have applied Joe. I am a game *****.

[InOne]

I have applied Joe. I am a game *****.

Cool :tongue: Me too

[Jake.]

Did mine get through? My net is sh*t at the best of times

[Jarrod]

Yep.

I've had applications from..

Kate
Doogle
Niamh
JH95
Jamie Pugh
InOne
Gypsygoth

[Jarrod]

Bump.

[Kate!]

Good to see a few female applicants, the only one I don't know yet is Jessica. :)

[Jarrod]

I need at least 4 more.

[Jessica.]

Good to see a few female applicants, the only one I don't know yet is Jessica. :)

:wavey: I don't think I know you either, but hi.

[Jarrod]

Bump.

[Jessica.]

Everyone apply!

[Jarrod]

Just need 4 more.

[Kate!]

Hello to you to Jessica.

I have seen you post a bit recently but not spoken to you as yet.

Only 4 more..... Doing well Jarrod.

[Doogle]

This is going to be good, people need to apply!

[Jarrod]

Please try and get people to apply. So i can send the Hogwarts acceptance letters.

[Jarrod]

Hey Guys

Just to let everyone know, this is starting on Wednesday April 11th, after TiBB Big Brother 4. I'll remind you all and the accepted contestants nearer the date. You can still apply for the game.

[Jarrod]

bump!!

[Jarrod]

Just three more until we hit 12. The more applicants however the better.

[Jarrod]

Just had two more applicants. Brilliant! Just two more until we reach 12 players. But we need more to apply, as the more the better. I've got twists planned.

[Jordan.]

It sounds good, I'll apply :amazed: The only thing I don't agree with is forum members getting to eliminate people because it always ends up members who don't even follow the game just saving who they like most.

[Jarrod]

Thanks for the application Jordan :) We just need one more person. And the voting has changed. I'll reveal more soon.

[Kate!]

that's true, and happens a lot in games, people vote for friends without even following the game and picking the most deserving etc. Glad you are doing a different format Jarrod. :)

You must nominate the person who you thought did the least work on your team.
The immune team cannot nominate. The three people with the most nominations will face the first elimination. Once i've recieved nominations from each team member then the voting will open.
