The Weekly Update So I know there wasn't a weekly update last week, and with good reason! Everybody was so wiled up after Abby's version of the update I needed to let you all simmer down and realize that my updates are superior before I posted one again. ![]() With that having been explained I present to you: two weeks of update! Forum Changes Over the past week and a bit a series of small changes have taken place to the forum index, so I'll highlight them for you now. ![]()
Halloween Contest Winners: Announced The Halloween Scary Story contest closed and had its winners announced. To read who the winners were and what their prizes ended up being see this announcement. We'd like to take this time to just thank everybody who had a hand in the contest once more. House Points Board/Seasons Pages Changes The House Points Board has been updated to indicate what semester HNZ is currently in, so "Y8 | S1" means "Year 8 | Semester 1". Also, the seasons pages have been updated to be in a much more visually appealing format. You can see the current season's page by clicking here or by clicking the link in the house points board. ![]() I'd like to thank Brian Getathorn XIX who made the awesome images for the season pages, as well as Lemina Troque and Jessame Rose Trewelly who both also completed my graphics request. LINDA IS BACK! After an all-too-long absence our lovable Thanks to everybody who signed her card, and feel free to read her own thank-you to you all here. OOC Superlatives! OOC Superlatives opened today after a fair deal of planning on the part of MESSI. Just saunter down the forum index to the "Out of Character Section" to see the forum, or click this link. ![]() Nominations are now open - so just read over the topics that are in that forum then get to nominating! I better win everything.... Or else End of the Semester Notes/EXAMS! It's the end of the semester for HNZ which means exams have come again! Exams should be posted presently in all classes for all years** and will close on Wednesday. Make sure to do some exams! (Note: Fifth and Seventh year students do not have exams now, but will have OWLs/NEWTs at the end of the year.)This also means that the Yule Ball will be coming up! (It will open Thursday) Ladies, get out your evening gowns and gents - lets try to find something without a ketchup stain on it, shall we? It should be a great time RPing, and reading all the RPs, that will definitely be going on. ![]() After the Yule Ball will come "Christmas/Summer Break", so get ready for that, too! RP Highlights! Thank you once more to Livvy and anybody who sent in RPs. It's quite helpful. ![]() Also, I stole Abby's pink since everybody liked it so very much. ![]()
So that's just about it. ![]() We've got lots planned for the next little while, and with the OOC Superlatives coupled with all the IC excitement I'm pretty pumped for everything coming up. ![]() Thanks for taking the time to read this update ![]() ~Nick (On behalf of the HNZ Site Staff) |

Nick used to use some eww-y color like yellow, and when I got to do my first Weekly Update (which came out awesome btw ) I chose to use pink instead, and people seemed to respond positively to that, so Nick noticed and used it as well.

Topic Cleaned: Do not spam announcement topics with your favourite colours. ![]() Also, a helpful tip for you: When a Global Moderator indicates that you probably shouldn't be doing what you're doing: cut it out! Next time you'll be contacted individually. ![]() As to the update, pink was the only good part of Abby's older one, so I took it.
