Just a brief moment - thank you to all who have voted so far! Actually the sooner we all vote, the sooner we can get to the challenge!

Though, perhaps it's just my sleep deprived state...but I saw that there were (as of now) 88 total votes for the main challenges and 147 total votes for the mini-challenges.

If each person voted 7 times and 14 times respectively, 88/7=12.57 and 147/14=10.5:confused:

So either someone didn't vote in full or we have half a person running around in this comp:p

I totally messed up and just realized it lol. Record Store Day brain drain is killing me. I apparently clicked on the mini link and voted for 7 things thinking they were the main events (and I was thinking, "Wow, these are not very ambitious - they must really be emphasizing the "beginner" aspect here.

Whoops!

So I just voted for the 7 biggies but my mini vote is messed up.

I will be almost normal again by Sunday. Up at 5:30 Saturday morning to see how long the line is outside my store and be ready to open at 8. We got all the record store day stuff checked in, priced, alphabetized, and displayed. But there's so much more I want to do before opening!!

Sorry about the messed up vote.

Challenge Voting Polls and *Tentative* Competition Schedule

Just wanted to say that the polls for Challenge selection are up! And with it, the approx competition schedule so you know what's coming.

The Challenge selection is divided into two polls:

The Main (Team) Challenge Poll
- These challenges are the ones that will last the duration of each Year at Hogwarts listed in the schedule below. From your challenges in the discussion thread, these are the ones that are more broad and large scale, therefore are given the most amount of time.

- Just an fyi for both the team and the mini-challenges below, I went through the ideas you all had for the most part and just copy/pasted the main points.
- For some ideas, I had to re-word them from a question to a statement so it made sense.
- There also some that overlapped (a new DHS land was a popular one) so I just included one of those unless there were specific differences.
- Also some seasoned members might notice some prior challenges. After thinking about it, I think it's alright. You all decide anyway what you want, but one that stuck out to me was to redo the Ticket and Transportation Center...I know that was the Elite Eight Challenge 1 from 2014, but in this current cast, only 4 people out of 28 participated in that...so it's not like everyone has done it before. And besides, the votes decide what gets in.

- Please vote for your 7 favorite challenges, so you may pick 7 options. The top 7 challenges at the end of the poll will be placed into Gringotts Vault for the competition.

Main Challenge Poll Link

Mini-Challenge Poll
- These challenges are the Bertie Bott Every Flavor Challenge (for more info see the first post in this thread) They are shorter (in length and time given), and also optional. Usually revolving around a small aspect of a theme park, and/or just a brief description.

- Please vote for your 14 favorite mini-challenges, so you may pick 14 options. The top 14 mini-challenges at the end of the poll will be placed into the Gringotts Vault for the competition.

Mini Challenge Poll Link

These votes are due by Sunday April 17th at 8:30 PM. After the polls are tallied, the first challenge will begin from random draw out of the Vault.
Final call for anyone who hasn't voted yet! Links and instructions are in the reply above

Most of the cast has already voted, which is awesome! Because, if you'd like, once the results are in we can begin!:happy:

Thank you again to everyone who came up with challenges! If some of yours didn't make it, don't worry! Almost all of mine didn't either:hilarious: Everyone had fantastic ideas and we really couldn't go wrong with any of the options...I think we have a great group of challenges here for the competition!

I proposed this in the discussion thread, but I'll say it here again...going forward, how about we kick off the competition with the most popular voted challenge (Design the final phase of New Fantasyland). If you all want to do that - the challenge prompt will be posted tomorrow morning by @MonorailRed and the competition will begin!:D

If you all like that idea, which seemed favorable in the discussion thread...let the countdown begin!:cool:

Thank you @mickeyfan5534 for coming up with Year One's challenge idea!

From 2012 - 2014, New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom opened in sections beginning with Storybook Circus, and culminating with the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. With New Fantasyland, while the outstanding visuals added much more depth and expansion to the area, it left the rest of Fantasyland somewhat underwhelming in thematic comparison.

For the first challenge, in your Houses, you must design a final Phase of New Fantasyland. You can remove/replace any attractions you like, change facades, and/or use expansion pads. Just make sure you don't use any fireworks safety zones (if you do you'd have to justify why you can use those areas, or move the fireworks)

Lastly, a brief word from Madam Hooch:
"I want a nice clean game...from all of you"

It's free reign this challenge, let's see what the Houses come up with!

This challenge is due.... Whenever you want! As a house, decide in your Common Room PMs on what time you'd prefer for a due date out of the three choices.

Friday April 29th at 12:00 AM EST, 12PM EST
Saturday April 30th at 12:00 AM EST, 12PM EST
Sunday May 1st at 12:00 AM EST, 12PM EST
