SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS / SUGGESTIONS / COMPLAINTS
Hi!

We’ve noticed a few questions / suggestions / complaints floating around there on the internet and we wanted to take a chance to address all of those! Unfortunately, it’s hard to give someone an answer to these questions if there’s no way to contact anonymous writers back. So, we’re introducing a new google form that will help us answer all of your questions/suggestions/complaints!

SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS / SUGGESTIONS / COMPLAINTS HERE

Beginning now, we will be addressing suggestions/questions/complaints that are fed through this form. This is a way for us to keep everything together and make sure that everyone’s issues are addressed in a timely manner.

As always, I'm available via PM/FB message to discuss any issues you guys might have. We're here for you! Please remember that the staff are people, too, and we work hard to make sure Insurrection is the best it can be!

Thanks,
Quinn & The Staff

- I adore all of this I just have two questions!

What would the Herbology certification be? Since you can attend a four-year program at a university to be a Herbologist, and this is only a year, I’m just wondering what the difference is! Because obviously a year is a lot easier than four!

And same thing with Care of Magical Creatures! You can take magizoology at uni for four years, so how is the certification different?

This may just be me being dumb but help me understand that hahah. But I love this ahh yay cool schools today guys.

I saw the certifications being more for blue collar workers---where a four year degree would be a requirement for academic/managerial positions.

So jobs that you might get with a herbology certification could include a greenhouse worker, gardener (before this was a muggleborn job), etc.

Chiming in with the opinion that if the department is accepted, that the Secretary of State be a position appointed by the Minister of Magic. This fits other government models/behaviors.

I was wondering if there could be a sandbox for applications? I was thinking about that because of the too many I love them all characters already planned and it'd be awesome to have somewhere in the site I can post their apps with the proper code! That way it's just a matter of ctrl + c / ctrl + v when it's time to post their applications.

Thanks! :3

Denied!


@cezar - unfortunately, we want an absolute cap of two working applications on site at all times! I think if you ask around, people have their different ways of getting apps ready in advance, by using Google Docs and that sort of thing! :)
