Welcome To Shastina
January 9th, 2005: Change in administration.
I hate this layout. And I hate the coding. It's terribly unorganized. I'm taking over, since GM Sai has done nothing for about two months. Once I'm done with homework I'm going to begin building a new layout. I'm also going to try and get more people to join, because there are maybe three people actively posting. Me, Dim, and Satto. (Thank you to all of those.)
I also plan on recruiting more players from Flashback to play on Shastina, and then maybe we can get some of the old players back. But we need to smack this bitch into place. So that's why I'm here, posting this, when I should be working on a project. Please, people. I'm only so God-like.
This marks the offical change in administration. I'll be gaining all passwords by the end of the week. I'll be looking for more GMs who are active enough to help. If you'd like to be part of this, e-mail electriic(at)hotmail.com.

November 16, 2004: Introducing the Galleria! And... Another Character
Jedaiger tryouts are under way... And I must say, the turnout has been fair. However, it is not nearly enough to really produce decent teams, or at least partial teams. I must stress, even if your character doesn't like Jedaiger, maybe consider trying out? And if your character DOES play, then get off your ass and try out! On the bright side, we have a new character within the Lagamore house, played by Ayashi, Edward O'Neil.
And be sure to check out the gallery, now featuring two lovely pieces from out dear Beccasai (love you muches). Submissions are appreciated. Your work is VAT VEE NEEEED!
Sai is currently in full throttle, since our neighbor site, Flashback, has consumed Mai. I am taking all applications, questions and art submissions. Totoro and God are still in Moderator mode, but their participation may vary. Sia is head honcho for now, so just deal with it.

November 11, 2004: Jedaiger
Jedaiger tryouts have begun! E-mail confirmation is no longer required, since none of you are going to do it. Post on the Jedaiger board and present a signed note from the head of your house. There are only five positions available for each team, but that doesn't seem to be a problem... Sad house populations. Hurry, children... time's a'wasting. Also, please see the revised Jedaiger section on the sports page. You'll be very confused otherwise.

October 2, 2004: Holy Crap, You're Still Here?
Hah, good moooorning, children. Welcome to the first update of the 2004- 2005 school year. For those of us not attending school, omgwtf? Right, very few updates other than a huge color scheme change on the boards. It seems we've successfully completed one class and a few more are under wat, once we get off our asses. Thanks to our Pantralus and Falcosel wanke-... players, we have a few screwy things going on at the moment. Again, I stress this...
You MUST e-mail GM Sai in order to take a place on your house's Jedaiger team. If I don't get an e-mail from you and you show up at the tryouts, trying to get a spot, I will scalp you and eat your face. God already hates it. You won't miss it. For those of you who are a little slow, GM Sai can be contacted via [email protected] or [email protected] Wow, TWO options! You lucky bastards.
Now that we have that settled, please prepare for a fun-filled school year. Expcet some more changes come Halloween.

June 28th, 2004: New Teacher and Class Goodies Galore
Damn, you guys are lucky. Beccasai has graced us with another character. Lo and behold, it is a teacher! Please treat your History teacher with the respect he deserves. What he deserves is for you to decide. Until then, don't maim him. That's an order.
The class descriptions and rosters are lookin' great. One class remains without an instructor, but I, Sai, am currently in the process of solving this problem. If we're lucky, then you are all in for a wonderul treat. If not, then bummer. It's probably my fault or something.
Notice: The GMs have discussed the idea of having one class at a time, since so many of you are enrolled in the same classes, which would force you to miss another. The other solution is double posting, but Sai is strongly against this method. She might have to shove it, though. It depends. Feedback would be helpful. Feel free to e-mail suggestions or ideas. Until then, keep posting and stop screwing around

June 24th, 2004: New Student, Classes, Grim Reaper
OK new character from Becca. Rayne is now part of the Lagamore house and he is our third resident werewolf. Don't cry to me about how Becca gets to be a werewolf. Number one: She's good. Number two: Know Sai and me, yah we got good on Becca's sites so I owe her a few.
Let's see here. Teacher's email me class attendance. If you miss class it's minus a house point. If you show up it's plus one. If you're out of town, dont worry, I won't dock you. All of the class registrations are now/being listed under the class page. Divinations is gone, Katriin made up her own class called arithmacy (lol), and Potions is the biggest.
Also, check out our student body. There's a few inactive folks gone. First round. Fear me.

June 18th, 2004: New Student...
Everyone welcome Mac who is going to be playing Portia Lockhart. She is a first year who is entering Equinis. Be uber nice to her. Also, I am going to be taking the job of advertising, tracking down inactive students, and tallying house points. This is how it works, you sign up for a class and don't show up for it I dock house points. If you do, I add them. If you are like Chihiro then I will give you extra. On Advertising: help me out as much as possible. I am only one woman and I have very little network in Harry Potter RPG communities. On deleting you inactives. I will send out emails before you go bye bye, if you are pissed cause some body won't reply to you, you can't post, ect. Email them or me and tell them to reply. I am already known as the grim reaper on one site and I do my job well.
I wish you all luck and me and my pinapple eating kitty are going to go wander about in the summer thunderstorms.
Love you lots!

June 4th, 2004: WAKEY WAKEY!
WOOOOOHOOO! How's everyone doing out there? Suffering? Brooding? Bleeding out the eyes? PERFECT! We've got just the thing! SUMMER! Minor detail: in order to qualify for this wonderful package, you must undergo a series of mind numbing, incredibly painful rituals known as finals. Then you get to flaunt your mediocre grades in front of the whole world!
For the rest of us in the process of transition, we wave at you and assure you that Shastina is alive and kicking. Come June 11th, we're kicking it into high gear. A new plot is in development, as well as a few twists for you all at the moment. I'm looking into a new layout for the summer, so if you have any graphics that you think are utterly amazing and fantasticalicious, send them my way. We'll prolly vote (that is, if anyone actually shows me stuff). Moving on... SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP, it's been a while, and I have lots to do. Totoro's doin' fine, plus, she's still with us. Look around spells page and etc., since that's where I'll be trying to update.
PLEASE check the spells page, for a note will be posted regarding spells in the actually Harry Potter series. Also... ahem...
HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OD AZKABAN COMES OUT TODAY! BEHOLD THE GLORY AND SURRENDER TO IT!

April 12th 2004: It's been fun kids
Due to some power spats on my part, I'm stepping down on Co-Gm of Shastina. I'll still be RPing, but I don't hold any more power here on the site. Just letting you guys know.
~ Totoro
April 12th 2004: New Characters Continued.
Sorry, kids, but the crosses and hyphens were really getting to me. I'll buy Totoro a cookie later. Now, business...
Ami, you have been officially reviewed and approved by a GM. Congratulations. Get to work.
Equinis house just went up two members. Please welcome Chewy and Miuki. They are cool and under protection! Can't think of anything else. Remind me later.
~ GM Sai ~
April 11th 2004, New Characters Galore!
+Please welcome our newest RPer! Amy! Go check out her character in Lagamore! Wow, the rabbits are taking over. One more and they'll have the most students!
+The Rhodes twins have been up for awhile now, but now you know! Lagamore, baby.

April 6th, 2004: A Note From Your Friendly Neighborhood Enigma
Alright, I've been hearing some chitter chatter through the halls and in my head, and I just wanted to remind people of some of the rules we put up on the application form for all you who are interested and would like to join.
You must be HUMAN. NO wings. NO tails. NO UNFEASABLE ABNORMALITIES (in laymen terms, no freaky crap). Powers will be granted as awards, but they will be reasonable.
I know this hasn't been stressed too much lately, mainly because we have such a creative lot running the place... but I must remind you guys. Remember when we all, like... actually read the books? Yeah... remember the humans? There were a lot. NOT a lot of funky creatures.
The GMs play abnormal characters to provide twists in the plot and to give you kiddies something to interact with that's a bit more fun than the typical 'Omg, did you hear about Brendan?' and 'Yeah, omfg'. Instead, we offer... 'Why is there crap coming out of your eyes?' and 'Dude, why did that cat just explode?' So yeah! Consider them NPCs.
This is NOT a Mystical RP. If you want something mystic with pretty fairies and... gay stuff... Go... take your wonderful mind somewhere else for a bit. If you've already joined as something freaky, we will not change you, but you MUST shape up a bit in post quality. If your character idea incorporated this, please contact us for ideas instead of getting whiney and pissy. That is all.

Febuary 22nd 2004, *flops*
*blinks*
+Jade's character Carmen is up! (Falcosel) Go check out her profile and give her a slap on the Bu- BACK! *coughcough* Sorry, couldn't help but make an obscure SMA refrence.
+Okay, folks. I promise spells will get up eventually...
+I MADE SHORTBREAD TODAY! I AM A BAKING FIEND! Shyeah
~ Co GM Totoro
Febuary 5th 2004, More Stuff
YAY. Stuff!
WHO-HOO!
What I got for you patient people:
+GM Mai's (other) new character: Alain (Pantralus) was actually put up awhile ago... like a week, but NOW YOU KNOW!
+SPELLS WILL HAPPEN THIS WEEKEND! And if you're totally holding off your opening post for a spell and you can't just because I'm being a lazy bum then TELL ME! Just tell me what kind of spell you need and I'll either put it up or give you permission to use it
+No more Brownie points have been given... wait, no. GM Ness cracked an awesome joke. So that needs to go up, but other than that. Eh, I bet Chihiro has another 20 I need to be caught up on. Hey, what do you people say to giving brownie points for each person that joins from now on? Tell me on the boards!
~ Co GM Totoro
January 27nd 2004, Stuff
Made. it. through. finals.
WHO-HOO!
Okay, what we got:
+GM Mai's new character: Faolin Lilius (Pantralus). Watch yourself folks, you never know when Faolin will try to molest you next.
+Yeah, spells didn't happen. They will! But they haven't so far. Sorry
+Some more Brownie points awarded
+SIDE NOTE: The ball is going to be happening realitively soon so people who are interested in joining now would be a great time to get in before it becomes awkward! Come on! You know you want to join.
~ Co GM Totoro
January 22nd 2004, Finals are almost done!
Way to kick it folks! The RP is off and rolling!
Couple things to say here: Tina and I are now the Co-GMs. We aren't going to be making the big descisions (we force Ness and Mai to do that). We'll be the ones making sure new character profiles get up, and what-nots.
I've gone through and put up all the pages that were missing previously... nothing there except attempts at witty comments.
+The spells page is up and I'll have a good list of spells in there by the end of day so you can go look badass on your opening post. (Sorry for those that had to work without them)(Make sure you check out the rules on spells!)
+Emails page is up as well, and there were some people I didn't have emails for. Make sure I get those if you want to stay in contact!
+The brownie points GM Mai awarded will be put up by the end of the day as well.
+NEW MEMBER! Make sure you give a warm welcome to Satto (2nd Year Falcolsel)
~ Co GM Totoro
January 8th 2004, Happy Freakin' New Years
WE ARE STARTING!!!! WOOT! There are a crap load of new profiles up, some minor kinks to be worked out, but if we don't start now we never will. Welcome to Shastina ladies and gents, please don't break anything and reccommend us to friends! The opening ball will be held in the Great Hall so go straight there if you haven't hit the General boards yet. If you haven't hit the General boards go post there please! Lots of love and lets get this going!
Shastina
