Rubies

[Prof. Maxim Trevelyan]

What are Rubies?

 

Rubies are Gryffindor’s internal points: you will earn them for taking part in activities and generally being active around the Den. Not only do they look pretty in your personal miniature hourglass, you will also have the chance to vie for our very shiny termly awards for the highest ruby count.

 

Both Gryffindors and visitors can earn Rubies through activities. Gryffindors will also have the chance to earn them through actions that support the House, taking part in things in our Gryffindor-only area and similar. Only Gryffindor staff have the power to award Rubies.

 

The number of Rubies you have earned during the current term can be found in that term's spreadsheet, which you'll be able to find in a reply to this thread. The Ruby count will reset every term: any Rubies you earn over the summer will be added to your total for the next term.

 

At the end of each term (autumn and spring), the prestigious awards I mentioned earlier will be awarded: The Phoenix Award for the Gryffindor with the highest number of rubies and The Lionheart Award for our top earning visitor. To be in with a chance of scooping one, you will need to have your ear to the ground for Gryffindor goings-on and be as active as possible around the Common Room.

 

Good luck!

[Prof. Sky Alton]

Unfortunately, we've lost access to our in-built ruby counting tool, so you won't be able to check your ruby totals from your profile or the homepage at the moment. We've created a spreadsheet to keep track of people's totals for the term so far, though.

As before, we'll only update the totals once an activity has finished. If you spot any mistakes please let us know. Even though we're not able to provide an activity by activity breakdown like we could previously, we do have staff records of what everyone received for each particular activity, so we'll be able to look into it for you.
