didn't you eat something too? I want to say the quaffle but cant really remember lol

Haha, Elfie

I like the attempts at a name, now that I finally understand what it means xD. The Japanese references are nice, though I don't really understand what they mean. Operation: On Top Kicking Ninja Attack <-- Ridiculous, I know, but it might help spur someone else's creativity.

Hey, I'll be the last one to complain about Japanese-y stuff ... though I don't actually understnad them, either ... why has Kaori-san suddenly also got a surname? (besides the fact that, of course, everyone needs a surname, somehow .. out of purely practical reasons XD)

Lol Elfie! *pats* I think you would make any position that you played in purely and utterly unique with awesome crazyness! <3

But now - in all seriosity possible at this time of night - what about Obsessively Kicking Ninja Attackers? OKNA :D

(... which also means "windows" in Polish and, spelt with a "c", "mining site" in Romanian. Nevermind my silly associations, though. XD)

I was just thinking, putting "Operation" in front of the name does indeed make the whole name sound cooler, but at the price of making it seem like this is a one-off sort of thing ... while we're here to stay, baby! :D MWAAAHAAA! :D

.. but I seriously like the ninja theme you've introduced there, Juneybug! :D

Well I tried asking Raist how many matches we'll have but he's no help xD so I was thinking maybe for the first formation Amy, Swift, or Cris could play either Chaser or Beater since that should be in the beginning of April, and the ones afterwards, you guys can play Seeker or Keeper and someone else can take the Chaser or Beater positions.

I have no idea with names lol there's a reason my screenname has been the same for over 8 years xD

Yeah i think I did end up eating something and doing loads of other random things lol

We are calling ourselves 'windows'? ok maybe i misread otherwise i really have gone mad lol

LOL No, Cris just said that OKNA is 'windows', but we aren't calling ourselves 'windows' xD. Cris, I actually really like the "Obsessively Kicking Ninja Attackers' thing.

Hahaha I would actually have no objections against "windows"

And ermm what I actually meant, Llama, is that I'm not that much of a fan of the operation. xD But I also don't really have anything against it lol.


And, I'm actually volunteering for Chaser/Beater at the beginning of April, since I'll be in Brum, with no mommy behind me to go all, "STUDYYYYY!" every 5 minutes. But I won't be available at all on the 6th-8th of April (going down to London + flying home). .. um, so Chaser or Beater if it doesn't collide with any of those dates, which we don't know yet. XD

... funny how the tourny hasn't even started yet and I'm on about excuses already. XD

Oh! I also volunteer for drawing up the mascot - should have some spare half an hour this weekend. :D

OKNA? Hmmm you guys decide

And erm, what should our mascot be? XD Are we sticking to the tortoise? Or something more ninja-ish? ... like a chibi little ninja, maybe? :D Or a dressed-up tortoise? :D

Honestly?

I have no idea xD.

OMG A CHIBI NINJA TORTOISE.

>.<

That would be amazingly cute! ^.^"

OKNA's fine by me... better than what I suggested in the first place anyway XD

So... colours? Or are we going multi? Then there'll be robes and stuff.

What about brooms? I think we should all have different ones..... but they all have their pros and cons - together they balance out to make a really good broom. If that makes sense? Or should we just design one broom, then have it tweaked to our own personal flying style? >.<

Also we need to think of a sponsor.... I can't think of any xD

Ok then, tortoise on the weekend to-do-plan! :D .. it can be a hippie-ninja-chibi-tortoise XD

Also ... my very random idea is, let's have a socks company sponsor us! :D Because as a Quidditch player, you can never have enough clean socks! .. actually, you can generally never have enough clean socks! ... uhum, socks are good!

.... maybe it's a bit too random?! XD

Otherwise ... I dunno, there's a bunch of actual HP-firms that could do the trick :D


(OMG, this feels very much like my marketing/ personal skills groupwork projects XD .. at least we don't have to write an essay on this! XD)

I like the customized broom idea. For the wood, I found this site of celtic symbolism and trees: Poplar/aspen stands for victory, transformation, vision; fir is clarity, achievement, energy; oak is for strength, stability, nobility; and alder is endurance, strength, passion. There were other trees listed, but I felt these fit the best. For speed, it would have to be fast, obviously, but I'm not sure of an actual rate. The Firebolt is capable of going from naught to one hundred and fifty miles per hour in ten seconds, so maybe our broom should be a bit faster than that, since it would be newer? I think the name and logo can be decided after everything else about the broom.

Yay!!! Chibi ninja turtles! Maybe we could be sponsored by Flourish and Blotts or Quality Quidditch Supplies? Or we could always come up with our own xD.
