#hwnadmin

and with that, all the acceptance posts have been made!

we thank all our members who were able to be here with us through it! and hope that our members in different timezones are able to join us soon!

please feel free to start posting your intros and please remember to welcome each other! whether you’re getting plots started, introducing yourself or just a simple welcome message please make sure to reach out to one another so that everyone feels welcomed. 

as all of you have proven in your apps, you’re all aware of that our guidelines state, intros should go up within the next 72 hours. seeing as there have been some applicants waiting for the grand opening since our soft opening, we will allow an extension of an extra day for anyone who hasn’t logged into their account within the past two days so that they have time to catch up!

additionally, we are currently running traditional acceptances on sundays, however with the roleplay’s grand opening today, we will be acting with a rolling acceptances system through the end of the week for anyone lurking that’s interested in joining or anyone who missed out on being part of our first batch of acceptances!

as you all get settled, we do have our first event prepared to be released! we’d like to take this opportunity to ask that you guys reply with your preferences below if you’d like the event to be opened this friday, sunday, later next week, or before this friday even if you’re all eager for it! we will also note that with this event, we hoped to make it easier to integrate into regular threads so it doesn’t seem like additional threads on the side, while still being able to affect your muses day to day life and schedules!

lastly, although not officially listed in our navigation pages just yet, we want to make sure that you all go ahead and follow @thebashapp. this sideblog will have two functions, it’s main function serving as our event blog and secondly as a tool to encourage muse interaction whether for fun or for development! additional information on this blog’s use will be made available soon after acceptances.

if you have any questions, concerns or issues that come up before or following acceptance posts, please feel free to reach out!  

and so, we give you all an official welcome to the island of hwangmun,

hello everyone,

with our latest activity check, we have lost a majority of the members in our roleplay. over the weekend, we did receive two apps however, even with these two muses it would set our numbers at a staggeringly low number of only 5 muses without guarantee as to if they will continue to be active.

this is not to shun any past or current members! we understand that real life happens, interest in certain muses and roleplays drop and that's just what it simply is! we truly enjoyed our time creating hwando and cherished all the members and muses we did receive in the short time since we've opened. however, we don't think it would make sense to continue holding on and forcing any of the current members to wait for any new applicants to join as that's something no one can predict.

with that, we sincerely thank any and all interest our members had shown in creating their wonderful muses and allowing hwando to be their home. we wish the best for all your writing endeavors and hope that everyone will continue to write in whichever communities they move onto find and join!

hello everyone!

we are glad to announce that we have officially received well over 10 apps! with that, the admod team is happy to say that we have decided on our grand opening being this MONDAY, AUGUST 29TH AT 12PM (GMT-5). 

although we’d love to open even a day sooner, we hope that this allows our members to get their intros and any other details they need for their muse or blogs prepped or finished before everything starts rolling. for our members who have been ready and patiently waiting alongside us, we definitely encourage you guys to have your intros drafted and prepared to be queued. 

we ask that members do wait to post intros until all the acceptance posts have been made! with the official opening being set at 12pm GMT-5, we will have the acceptance posts queued to post within a 15 minute timeframe. following all posts, you are all welcome to post your intros and begin welcoming and plotting with one another. 

following this announcement, aside from the expectation of acceptance posts, we will have a few additional important posts coming out in regards to side blogs, events and affiliates. please stay tuned!

if you have any questions or concerns before opening, whether you’re currently a member or not, please don’t hesitate to send a message or ask to our askbox! we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!

thank you so much for all of your interest and patience thus far,

hello everyone!

we just wanted to make a quick announcement to say that after some discussion, we have decided to change the roleplay’s weekly acceptance system and will now be running on a ROLLING ACCEPTANCES system.

this means that we will review any applications we receive as our time seem fits! with our applications being questionnaires, this allows us to get through the review process much easier as well. 

although this does not affect any of our current active members, this is a major change with adjustments that we wanted to highlight. this specifically regards what activity will look like during your first week for any newcomers and anyone curious in joining, or once second muses are allowed if this becomes something of interest for our current members (along with sufficient activity). 

the system allows some more leeway for those joining, depending on when you join and when you post your intro (before or after activity check occurs).

basically, 

if you get your intro in before activity check of the week you join, you pass for that week’s activity check and will have to thread for the upcoming week. 

if you are accepted before activity check occurs and your time frame of three days passes into the next week AND you post your intro before activity check, you will have to thread for the upcoming week

if you are accepted before activity check occurs and your time frame of three days passes into the next week AND you post your intro in the upcoming week, you will be safe for the week you were accepted and pass activity check for the upcoming week. you will have to thread for the week following. 

if you have any questions about this system regarding the time frame of posting intros and acceptances, please feel free to reach out for clarification.

hello everyone!

yet another announcement from main! we apologize for the amount that have been going out this week! 

we love seeing how quickly active everyone has been since our official grand opening! we’re very excited to see more from all of you and your beloved muses! although we haven’t officially reached the end of our first week there were a few additional things we wanted to touch on.

based on our first announcement post following opening, of the members who listed their preferences, we have decided that we will be posting the first event tomorrow, on FRIDAY THE 2ND. there isn’t a set time for when we’ll get that up so keep an eye out!

additionally, seeing as everyone has begun settling in and getting threads up already we have updated our pages to list a wanted connections form for anyone looking for a pre-established connection to get filled. if that’s something you’re interested in, please take a look through the form page for more details!

lastly, we’d like to give a gentle reminder that today is the last day to post your intros for those that were accepted in our first batch. from what we’ve seen so far, a majority of you have already posted your intros ( great job! ) but there are a few who have yet to. regarding our guidelines, if you’d like to continue staying in the roleplay, please make sure to put your intro up before the end of the day ( GMT-5 ) with the tag #hwnintro ! should you get removed after today, please feel free to apply again or come back when you have the time!

thank you all for your patience and interest,

hello everyone!

we’re very excited to see everyone getting settled in and even threads being up already! ( you guys are truly amazing! )

there were a few updates we just wanted to note here as they are pertinent to the roleplay’s lore and general upkeep.

firstly, we have officially added the event sideblog ( @thebashapp ) into our navigation. if you have yet to follow it, please do as we will be releasing our event sometime within friday and the next week after we get all our member’s inputs!

secondly, we’ve added two more tags that should be followed, which we will link here for ease of access ( #hwnnotice , #hwnmeme ).

lastly, we have added a page  about the sorting ceremony at the institute and a page about squibs and muggles in regards to the island! we ask that all members do take a read through the squibs and muggles page specifically as this information is important to the roleplay’s lore and potential developments!

there are things we have in works for the lore that will be noted as each update is made, so keep an eye out for those if you’re interested in learning more! and as always, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out!
