Soooo I was talking to AUGUSTINE KYE regarding threading and the topic of roommates came up and how difficult it could potentially be to keep all of that stuff straight, and I came up with the suggestion of there potentially being a dorm assignment thread as part of the general signups for students?
Like, for example, there could be x number of dormitories for each house separated by gender and year, with five spaces per dormitory as per canon. It could be a signup thread kinda like for classes or wands with options for people to be put with certain people or just be assigned one of the dormitories at random?
I just think it could be neat because that would give more roleplay opportunities and just give solid assignments for who is roomed with who at the same time. I do recognize I am fairly new here and totally understand if this wouldn't work with the current system, just figured I'd suggest it just in case^^
Just wanted to post here saying that I support this idea! I especially like the idea of sign-ups. Definitely would be a fun list and opens up more opportunity for development.

Everyone in the same year, House and gender are in the same dorm, though, so it kind of seems moot point since we already have a list of all Hogwarts students separated by House and year. It would be like having the same list twice which seems like needless extra work to me.
Just thought I'd mention, cause I have seen this before on HP sites when browsing. I never understood it's real use:
I agree with Eliza, only because there's nothing really specific in the series. There's a huge dorm, and it's full of student from the same gender and house and year. Since they're already female, they would be in the same dorm. Already being the same house means same common room. So year being specified is basically as far as you could go with keeping things in line. I mean, the only use would be to say 'Oh my bed is next to so-and-so' but I personally don't know if that would be a good enough reason to add a claim for it. You can easily just discuss it with the person you're rping with if you want them to have a bed next to your character. Overall, they're in the same area anyway. It's not separated by doors, or anything so.

Yep its in the same room. This would be useful at just about every other school we have here. Cause some are sorted alphabetically or by year and there are no houses so there would be like 3-4 to choose from per year which would make sense. But with the Hogwarts list it pretty much would just be that list.
But if we have a dodeca again and its at a school where this would be needed I definitely would make one for that school. =D
