Slytherin Restock
27 August
In the tradition of edgy and exciting themes, the most recent Slytherin event brought to you Faction Fallout - a restock event inspired by the Divergent Series.
After being assigned to their respective factions via an Aptitude Test, restock participants were given the opportunity to participate in several activities, including the following: Silent Auctions for Profile Layouts, Custom Forum Title, Honorary Slytherin, and an Invisibility Cloak (The Price of Pride, Facing Your Fears, Faction Before Blood, and Innovative Inventions, respectively); scavenger hunts (The Stray from Ignorance), creativity contests (Of Rhyme and Rhythm, and Brave Moves, Bolder Tattoos); and, puzzles (The Hand that Feeds, and Scale of Sincerity).
We thank everyone who participated in the event! Many thanks to our hardworking Slytherin Staff for making sure that this restock event was a massive success!
