BTW guys, I can't see any of you online...so yeah... :(

More Rules :(

Lexa, I wasn't talking about just you when I said a Slytherin. I meant any Slytherin! What would make you think otherwise?

I obviously don't like 3. That's how it was going already, that's why I brought up this up. I personally like #4, it makes the houses seem more equal.

Okay...well which other Slytherins are you talking about? Kadaj? She's a Hufflepuff now.

I don't think it's fair to force all the houses to standardize on rules. Obviously we Slytherins are fine with no one being allowed in our common room, but what if another house (like Gryffindor) lieks having their visitors?

All Slyherins because all Slytherins have access to the other Common Rooms!

Okay, that's your opinion, and mine is that it's not fair for some houses to have more restrictions than others do! I'm still voting for #4, maybe we should start keeping track of the votes.

OKAY I understand now. It's that the other houses allow visitors, but we don't?

I think it's not fair to make 3 houses standardize on the way we Slytherins do things if they're perfectly happy with their current format.

Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3: II
Option 4: III

Speshul option 3/4: II

I'm voting for #4. I see LG's point here, and I agree with it.

Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3: II
Option 4: IIII

Speshul option 3/4: II

I'm going with option #3!

How do we decide when to cut off the voting?

hmmm...good question...

Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3: III
Option 4: IIII

Speshul option 3/4: II

I figured when we get all the active people or there's a huge lull in votes.

Just saying, I like Option 4 as well, I'm perfectly happy to disallow any visitors but prefects on official business, but I think forcing all the houses to have the same rules is a bit awkward.

Do I sound like a hypocrite....?

Well do i have to follow the rules XD
i hope not

Everyone SHOULD follow the rules.

We can't force you, but I can certainly scold you :P

I like #4, but can non-prefects but just good sports go into another house's common room to congratulate them on Quidditch matches.

Option 3 sounds best.

I like option 3 with option 4 as a provision to the rule. It seems to be the fairest for everyone.

Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3: IIII
Option 4: IIII

Speshul option 3/4: III

No Poseidon, I think Option 4 means that it's a hard and fast EVERYBODY OUT kinda thing.

what are we voteing about XD

Oh Simple :P We're voting on the rules for Common Rooms.

1. No one is allowed in other common rooms
2. Everyone is allowed in any common room
3. Houses make up their own rules about who can enter
4. Prefects can visit other common rooms for business such as Wizengamot, quidditch congratulations on behalf of their house, a request for help of some sort, etc.

Shpeshul option 3/4: Option 3 is the main rule, but prefects can go into any house for business.

I think number three should be changed to - each house can decide for themselves whether or not to allow visitors. I don't think they should be able to single people out.

That's what I meant...guess I wasn't clear enough :P

Come on guys...I want to get this over with.

VOTEVOTEVOTEVOTE :P

I vote for 6

Thanks simple...

Ha ha, good old simple! Always ready to make people laugh!

I think we got all the votes we're gonna get, but I'll go tell the other 'Puffs to vote...

You should be only allowed in YOUR common room. And if you SWITCH houses (I don't see how you could but...) than you can only be in the ONE you are in. It's not fair. Why do Slytherin's get into everyone's... YOUR HOUSE, YOUR ROOM... nobody else's...

If I had to choose: #4... If it's the Ravenclaw Common Room why should other people be there CONSTANTLY. I mean, for me, it's okay sometimes but not CONSTANTLY.

But 3 is okay, but people may not agree, and that can lead to MORE fighting.

3/4! We allow people to visit. Not stay permanently but visit, so yeah.

And if you switch houses (?) you have to stay in one common room, and you cant go in Ravenclaw and Slytherin because you're a Slytherclaw or whatnot. That's my two cents if someone cares :)

Yep. No mixed houses allowed.

I think you guys are being strange about the "Slytherins are allowed everywhere" thing. The way we've been doing it so far, each house is allowed to set rules. Slytherin doesn't let any guests in, the other houses do. If you don't want guests, just say so and we won't visit!

@Emily, number 3 is what we've been operating on right now. Each house makes their own decision. Gryffindor allows visitors, I think Hufflepuff does, and I'm not sure about Ravenclaw. Slytherin doesn't allow guests. What I don't understand is this: If you don't like having guests, Slytherin or otherwise, why don't you just say so? If you ask us to stay out, we're not going to barge in and hang Slytherin banners everywhere *cough*simple*cough*...

Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3: IIII
Option 4: IIIII

Speshul option 3/4: IIII

I'm fine with option 4, I honestly don't care, it doesn't change anything for Slytherin. But I think it's taking things a bit far. Especially if even 1 house wants to have guests, they should be allowed to.

I like your 3&4 combination idea best, actually

Option 3: IIII
Option 4: IIIII

Speshul option 3/4: IIIII

That brings 3/4 and 4 to a tie with 3 behind by one. I'm closing votes on 1 and 2 because no one likes them

Lexa, I brought this up because I want the houses to all be on equal footing. I just think all the houses should have the same rules applied to them. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that.

I want them to be equal too, but I don't think that this is something that needs to be done.

I think I see the problem. You are thinking of it as Slytherin having the right to go into everyone else's common room. I see it as the other houses deciding whether or not to let people in.

Slytherin isn't barging in because we're better than everyone, the other houses are choosing to allow guests! Gryffindor allows visitors of all sorts. Puffs can visit. So can Claws.

From this point, I'm assuming no one's allowed in the Puff or Claw room.

And I see nothing wrong with any of that.

I vote 3/4. ^_^

No, people are allowed in our Common Room until the vote is done, then we'll operate on whatever wins.

I honestly don't see why anyone would want to come in our common room but I guess we'll vote on it too.

Option 3: IIII
Option 4: IIIII

Speshul option 3/4: IIIIII

Don, your vote is individual, not as a house :)

I know. I meant if we decide each house chooses, we would vote whether or not to allow visitors.

Have you already voted here?

OKAY PEOPLE

Let's give thsi vote 2 more days and then accept the results, okay?

We need to start thinking about what to do when Quidditch ends!

6 means simple can watch HP all day :P

Option 3 - says that houses set up rules - whether they want visitors or not.I would like people frm the other houses coming into the Gryffindor Common Room, but not all the time.Not for chatting or saying something to someone.

If option 3 is being implemented, then my house - Gryffindor - will set up one rule, and without knowing what that would be, I cannot go with that one.

Option 4 - says that prefects can go into other common rooms for announcements n congratulating on Quidditch wins.Why is it only prefects? Can't it be everyone?

I prefer Option 3 over Option 4 because the houses can ask all their members and come to a decision and that would be better than only prefects going to other houses.

It's not that prefects can visit for any reason. It's that prefects can go to other houses for business such as inquiring about official house stuff and congratulating them on behalf of their house for winning something.

If I may inquire, if you like people visiting Gryffindor, but not to chat...what do you like them visiting for...?

Option 3: IIII
Option 4: IIIIII

Speshul option 3/4: IIIIII

She has a point, Luna. What do you want them visiting our common room for?

Regardless of what rule we use, CURRENT RULES STILL APPLY.

That means NO ONE is allowed in the Slytherin Common Room except for Slytherins. Please respect that until we choose another rule, at which point either we will keep our current rules, or prefects will be grudgingly accepted on official business.

If I catch anyone in our common room I will be most upset.

-sighs-

Did simple do something bad, again?

She and best came into our common room. Actually, best pretended to take a Polyjuice Potion of me and pretended to scold simple -_-

^ Those two need to behave...
