Happy New Year, Charming! The year is now 1888, so get used to butchering it horribly for at least a couple days ;) A couple of quick announcements—
— AC is Saturday! As per, make sure everyone is listed on the CML and has been posted at least once this month! Not sure what an AC entails? Ask your buddy or any member of our staff team :)
— The February AC will be 03/02. Why's this important to know so early? That is the cutoff for any new applications or reactivations prior to the move. Anyone else you want to welcome into the warmth of your bosom will have to wait until April!
— BETA USERS ANNOUNCED! This probably should have been first. Ah well. The staff team is incredibly excited to welcome Fallin (@'Sisse Thompsett'), Lynn (@'Ophelia Dippet'), Emma (@'Clarissa Cosgrove'), Alex (@'Souri Avninder'), and Lauren (@'Helena Macmillan') to join us for our beta opening which is still tentatively slated for February 1st! Please contact me whenever you get a chance with your preferred first account to get the ball rolling.
We are so grateful to the large number of you who volunteered to help us out here. The crux of Charming has always been its community, and you guys did NOT disappoint <3
— Students return to Hogwarts tomorrow—including those that got the boot for failure to prove full humanity! Anyone returning after their term in exile should post in maintenance to have their user group and title changed. Remember that they are re-doing the second half of their most recent year, not being placed in the year that matches their age. Fifth years do not need to re-sit OWLs, but may if they choose.
— Posting Wizard signups are open!

I finished the new rep write-up yesterday. This is it. FLY, MY PRETTIES.
The Reputation System
In an era where who you know, whom you speak to, and whom you're related to can affect your reputation, knowing how a character is viewed by the majority of society can be very beneficial when considering thread partners and plots. Certain interactions can have negative reputation implications, whilst others can see an increase in reputation. Reputations on Charming start at a set number depending on your character, and then 'deductions' can lower it. Reputation can, however, increase over time or based on things like "heroic actions". If at any time you feel your character should be upgraded (or downgraded!), please post in Maintenance and the staff team will look into it!
Disclaimer: Not all characters will agree (or bother with) the overall reputation. This may affect their own reputations as a result, but they are not required to take the same view point.
Please note that different classes will always be regarded differently, regardless of their reputation!
Below, you'll find maximum and minimum reputations for certain character types. From there, there are a list of deductions that can see your character's standing lowered.
Good Reputations
10 | — Standard 'starting point' for most characters, however various events in their lives and those of their family and friends can have an effect |
9 | — Standard 'starting point' for characters with minor 'issues' in their life
— Maximum for men known to have fathered a bastard
— Maximum for individuals who actively avoid society |
8 | — Maximum for a "Confirmed Bachelor"
— Maximum for anyone who has ever been disowned
|
7 | — Minimum for Pendergast Roses
— Minimum to join an adult club
— Maximum for known bastards
— Maximum for known half- or quarter-breed
— Maximum for a woman who has been divorced
— Maximum for former, convicted criminal
— Maximum for men who take in their bastard as their child |
Middling Reputations
6 | — Maximum for known veela
— Maximum for those who have dropped a class in disgrace
— Maximum for anyone who has ever had their rep drop by more than three points at once |
5 | — Minimum for Hogwarts Staff
— Minimum for continued membership in Ladies' Clubs
— Maximum for vampire or known werewolf |
4 | — Minimum for Ministry, Hospital, Museum, and Library employment
— Minimum for continued membership in Gentlemen's Clubs
— Minimum for Hogwarts students
— Maximum for reformed prostitutes
— Maximum for women known to have mothered a bastard
— Maximum for hags

Our lovely back-end gals will be transferring our URL this weekend. This may result in temporary log-in issues, and will result in broken links throughout the board. Please familiarize yourselves with the click-paths to anything you might need, and please do not report these problems to us xD We will try to remedy any log-in issues quickly, and will get to pertinent links over the next week. All other links we’re just leaving to die >.>
#abandonship
From then until the move, members are asked to use the URL http://charmingrp.sunwolves.com/ to access the board.
