Is Victor Ludorum mentioned in the Yearbook? I don't remember him, can't Google him (a couple of the others, too, mind you). Assassins should probably have a category; there must be more of them than Watchmen. --Old Dickens (talk) 02:00, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Interesting that Jocasta Wiggs is on this House list: OK, she has family ties, but in accordance with conservative British public schools upon which the AG is modelled, you would have thought the young Ladies would be strictly gender-seperated in their own Boarding houses. Only the more outrageous or avant-garde British private schools permit mixed boarding. and the AG school is definitely not one of those! Look up "Bedales" or "Summerhill" for trendy ultra-liberal private schools... certainly not what you'd expect from the AGS. And from the reference to Alice Band being jocasta's tutor, the first guess would be Tump House... AgProv (talk) 09:42, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Googling Jocasta doesn't help, either. According to them we're the foremost authority (along with our friend and colleague A A Pessimal). --Old Dickens (talk) 00:01, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

the Discworld's Assassins' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2000 appears to confirm the gender-segregation at the Guild school. Granted mine is the German version, but two of the School Rules are: School rule no 145 Kein Junge darf das Zimmer eines Mädchens betreten. No boy is allowed to enter the room of a girl. School rule no 146 Keine Mädchens darf das Zimmer eines Jungen betreten. No girl is allowed to enter the room of a boy. AgProv (talk) 23:22, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
