I think I found a solution to many problems/plot holes that occured because of the move. Lets face it....even if they do get invited to the schools most student with family aren't going to move, most graduates aren't going to move, many of the characters would be caught in legal trouble, and some of us just aren't going to find this site. Now, I've had the hope of bringing the graduates back into the fray, and fixing the absences. While many character can justify this, many cannot. That's when I realize something.
Hircine is going to have students thier already. They are going to have an established hiearchy of students, thier own history with each other, and all the ups and down of those at Varron.
Now many of you know my first solution was to just restart the site, but now I have a better idea. Characters who have reached dead ends or could not justify a notable existance outside of school (lets face it, you either worked at the edge or you didn't exist). I am nolonger endorsing this decision, as it I really think we're not going to find a better compramise than the one I've thought of.
We need people to RP for the already existant student body of Hircine, and those of us who can't justify are character being transfered or have thier use pratically destoyed thought this process can fill the void. This also seems lke the best way to get the storyline moving again once things start moving again. Hell, we could actually be accurate to the source material and have ourselves some Pillars for once.
Right now, I'm not sure how much backing this plan would have. So if there is anybody who would like to fix many site plot holes, and mainly any graduated students who want to actually have a place in the school again, who are interested on working on this idea, I would like to hear from you.

A pillar like system is already in the works. There will be a specific group of "Varron haters" so to speak that will be chosen as the new obstical/'bad guy' if you will.
As for random other Hircine characters? Go for gold kiddy's. Everyone's welcome to interperate the move how best they see fit.

I've had this covered long before you even posted here, buddy boy.

Oh sorry, I have been left out of anything involving this site so far, so I'm not up to date in the backroom discussions.
Forget the fact that I've been on the site for longer than most the staff, cause apparantly I have nothing to contribute. I wont get in the way of everyone else from now on.

I sent you the PM as soon as I knew your interests in this, King.
Unfortunately, that was only very recently.

I read it before I posted that Dain. It was the straw broke the camels back.

I'm sorry for trying to include you?

All that aside, it makes sense. If it weren't for me already having a Varron character whose update is in the works, I might chip in on this.

So... I'm sorry for trying to include you? You better be! Heh... But you, as in King, just gave me a reason for my new char not being from Varron... He was already there ... :') Almost to cry over...

Kingbot, its not like we are excluding you. We do most brainstorming in the msn chat simply because its easier. When we have something solid we put it on here for others to see. Now for someone who isn't in a chat we've done alot to try and involve you in the behind the scenes.
But your suggestion to have more people RP as regular Hircine students is good. From what I understand the captain is already chosen, and the pillars are in the works, but we do need more hircine students.

I'd like to endorse the idea of some characters being re-created/made so that they were already at Hircine High, but I'd also like to make it simple up to the person. If they can find the imagination to right up a history as to why they had to move, whether it was more personal then political, then good for them.
Otherwise, it's time to stay quiet and wait for christmas.

Agreed. Therefore, we should note that anyone who is not on the List of Varron Students (I've got the list, if anyone else needs it, let me know, and I'll email you) will be required to post their bio in terms of being a long time Hircine student, or transferring to Hircine without logic of the Varron histories. This will make the Varron class a sort of "oucast society", and lead to Hircine becoming the new place of the board.
Varron Academy is a legacy, not a continuance. Those of us from Varron will live with the changes if we choose to hold onto our characters, but we won't dominate unless we fight for it. After all, like King said, we're in the territory of Hircine. They rule, not us.

I agree. Anyone who registers that wasn't an old Varronian should have to be a hircine student and not a former varron.

Be as it may, and the fact that this is a top-notch idea from James (which I think will be the first absolute decision I shall enforce as a basic essential), there is one thing I would like to ask...Perhaps (ooc of course...) a list of a fashion could be constructed to help keep newcomers in tune as to who is aligned to what side (this doesn't count characters with ulterior motives or are 'playing' one side against the other for their own motives, in that case you can decide accordingly, etc?).
However, I must confess that I still have much of a storyline to use with Taiku, plenty of things are left unresolved, and I will continue to RP with him until further notice. In due time I WILL make a new character (I'm not saying when, because my muse is a little rusty for bios...Mebbe Tanya will be able to help me with it...) for the Hircine High side of things...
Just wanted to toss that bit in real quick, as well as giving points for the suggestion. -hands out cookies to clever folks-
