Quidditch - opinions by DH Skies

We'll be having some sort of match/event during this half of term. Quidditch as previously written was found to be time consuming and confusing, so we're trying to think of ways to change this up. We'd like the opinions of you guys about what you'd like to post in:

- Fast and Furious Style Quidditch
This would follow other 'fast and furious' event styles where word counts would be lifted.

- Social/outing
We've been talking about the team going off campus to play local matches. Would you prefer to have one of these posted? This would involve less actual game play (as we don't have an opposing team to write against) but could be pre or post match and a chance for more social posting.

Our full suggestions on how to rework Quidditch in the long run can be found here.

Please weigh in if you have any other ideas.

This post is mostly directed at players, but if the old format of Quidditch has put you off playing and you would be involved if it was different, feel free to weigh in.

Social for me! by Evelyn Stones, etc.

I like the idea of the more social side of things, but that's also coming from someone who doesn't necessarily have anyone on the team. (I'm not sure who's on the team this year??). If non-players can have social posts regardless, then I don't know that my opinion means a lot there. I'd definitely be more likely to have my students go out for Quidditch and be more active in the future if it was social focused.

Fast and the furious could go really well, I think, and be a lot of fun, OR be really confusing. I wonder whether we could host Quidditch matches in Chatzy? So it's still in order and easy to see, but a bit quicker paced? That may take some finagling and/or require a separate room. I know that switching between characters quickly can be difficult, so it may be easier in that case to mark each post as you post it in that case. I don't know!

Thanks for all you work.
