seriously?  Slytherins were supposed to be 'Power'?  THAT makes sense, and she could've kept the whole 'blood born only' issue as well by just making the lot of them think that non blood were powerless. 

[Leafsnail]

I thought it was meant to be a simplification of "power corrupts".

[dakarian]

Nah, the whole Sylv thing was anti-elitist anti-sectarian talk.  The entire house was about the 'true blood' which is the type of talk used anytime you find bigoted/prejudiced talk.  They didn't care about power, just being 'pure'.  Power was just the sugar covering.

They could've went the other way and gone for the 'power corrupts' with a dash of "we are powerful, so we rule".  It makes keeping the house alive in the end sensible since it just means getting them to focus more on the former and stop worrying about the muggles. 

But meh, I'm fussing too much for someone who overall liked the story.

No, I think it bugs everyone that the houses are "Courage, Brilliance, Loyalty, and Evil"

[dakarian]

Well, the theme I used at least softened that to a degree.  Instead of "evil" the groups is more "man killing anti-socials".  They tend to do everything wrong and you tend to see the evil ones show up there, but at least you can see the world there actually considering it not a BAD thing to have them around.

Slytherin's primary contribution is -lemme look it up.
"In slytherin you'll find your true friends/These cunning folk use any means/To achieve their ends"

Consider Slugworth (the OTHER potions professor). He's a pretty good example, I think. But no, she pretty much went and made them ALL EVUL.

Artless has not listen to two prods.  He's the only one that hasn't.

So, whether him or someone else, whoever sends me a PM requesting to join will become the final player in BM6.

Once I have the last player, we'll begin.  The deadline won't be until Tuesday anyway so everyone will have plenty of time to join in.

[dakarian]

I have the final member.  This thread will now be locked.  Starting new thread to begin the game formally.
