Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Yeah and that way you can have multiple accounts that has a different av and sig for each charrie, but there's also a link that leads you back to the singular account of the RPer... If we could get that here, I wouldn't mind a switch, but I don't know that I'd want to otherwise.

I couldn't find the documentation, but I found two addons:

login manager appears to have been abandoned by its creator, but if you have firefox 3, you might still be able to use it.

cookie swapper says it was made for email, but I bet it works for forums too.

To be honest I think a rule against doing this would be far more effective than changing the system altogether.

This may be because I don't 100% understand how the APP system works, but wouldn't it just make our problem worse if everyone posts their characters from one account? It'd be like taking our current problem and making it ten times bigger.

Unless what you're suggesting is one character per player, which I wouldn't be too against, actually.

Account per player is just when you have one login, usually something generic (so my login might be Liss) and you usually put links to each of your character's profiles in your sig or have an icon for each character in your sig.

Then when you RP and you want to use different characters you can either do subsequent posts, or you can split up your post from one character to the next. Like:


"this is talking," said Selwyn. "This is some more talking."

This is Selwyn's highly prejudiced opinion of the person he's speaking to. This is some more opinion. This is speculation about their psychological state and whether they're compensating for something.

"This is some more talking."

This is a description. This is more description. And this is description too.

______________________________

"This is scorn," said Ethel. "Everyone knows about this completely implausible theory."

This is an infodump. This is gratuitous description of Ethel's home life, including a mention of her pet alpaca.

"This is more conspiracy theory," Ethel went on. "This is far too much in depth explanation."

This is a passing description of what's going on around them.

"This is Ethel trying to get the last word," she said triumphantly.

Hehe, love the example.

But wasn't that the problem you were aiming to stop? People posting multiple characters from multiple accounts.
it also wouldn't really help with the accidental posting from other accounts all that much, as far as I can see.
