INTRODUCTION
The autumn, a group of dedicated players from College of Wizardry 3 (in April 2015) tried to crowdsource enough money to get a sequel made for their experience. They almost made it. And at the end of the process, they opened up for characters from other CoWs as well.
We were very inspired by that, and while the Indiegogo campaign fell short of its goal, we decided that we were going to do the special Midterm Madness sequel event anyway! This time, not just with returning characters from CoW3, but also from CoW4, CoW5 and CoW6.
BUT... the week after CoW4, the sequel event sold out completely. Within 5 days it went from 45 tickets sold to 140, with a waiting list already at 20+ people. And CoW5 and CoW6 hadn't even happened yet!
So now we're doing not ONE Midterm Madness CoW, but TWO. This one is one April 21-24, and will feature both returning characters from CoW3, CoW4, CoW5 and CoW6 AND new characters.
It'll mean some adjustment (after all, how many E. Akermans ARE there at the school!?) and some design decisions made to reflect the players who end up turning up. But on the plus side, we get to take a large bunch of dedicated and awesome players and give them a chance to return to Czocha for another chapter of their characters' lives.
And for those who haven't played before and make this their first CoW event? Why, they have the unique opportunity to step into a living, breathing world that already functions. And we know from participants of CoW2 (which was held as a sequel to CoW1) that THAT is a magical experience indeed.
So that was a ton of explaining. It'll be backed up later by its own Design Document, but for now we give you:
CoW8: Midterm Madness. April 21-24, 2016.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON PRICE: The event costs $375. The price of 2.625 DKK corresponds to $375 (currency fluctuations may mean minor variations). Don't worry - we're not trying to charge you $2.625. ;-)
RETURNING CHARACTERS ON COW8 - MIDTERM MADNESS
Professors - If you played a Professor character at CoW3, CoW4, CoW5 or CoW6, and wish to return as that character, this is very possible. We have the advantage that we can easily have more than one Professor of each subject. However, we're capping Staff characters at 20, so if you want to return as a Staff character, contact us. ;-)
Prefects - Prefects are a bit tricky, since there are only 10 spots, and potentially 40 interested players. That means that we can't guarantee that you can return as a Prefect. We CAN guarantee that you can return as a Senior, but not necessarily as a Prefect. If you feel this makes your character too different to be playable the way you want it, we understand that.
Students - As a "normal" student character, things are a lot easier. Of course we're going to have some balance issues with the amount of Junior/Sophomore/Senior characters, but we are quite confident things can work out anyway. When it comes to overlapping characters, there are many solutions (siblings, family members name changes, unrelated, etc.), but we'll deal with all of those one a 1-1 basis.
To make things a bit simpler, we have also made some tickets that are reserved for certain character types, to make sure we don't end up with zero Juniors and 60 Seniors. ;-)
CANCELLATIONS
Tickets are personal and non-refundable. However, if you want to cancel, you can write to us, and if we find a replacement player (which is usually easy if it's not too close to the larp), you get $325 back. ;-)
