I also see some cats from the other Clans joining SkyClan solely out of trying to please StarClan. I forgot to post the history, but it kinda goes along that StarClan isn't really communicating much because the Clans keep fighting and swelling the ranks of StarClan. Dead cats have to eat, too, you know. OH! Speaking of dead cats, I don't see an issue with people creating them and using them, but only when it is absolutely necessary and not to make their cat special. If someone has a dead cat and something with StarClan comes up, I'm good with them having the chance to be the one who talks to whoever speaks with StarClan. I also think it would be interesting to have transition scenes where StarClan speaks with each other about the updates in their Clans and such. It can happen after a major plot event and then we can potentially skip some time so we aren't dragging out plots. Though, I am iffy on Dark Forest trainees. I feel like it would need to be plot related for it to happen whether it be a major plot or sub plot for the Clan like a warrior wanting to be leader.

Welcome to the team Maple! Glad to have you.
Those are some good points regarding the warrior assignment. The personality of the cat would probably have some effect on how they would be as warriors. That would make sense with the leaders having a final say as well as being able to dispute it if it seems unfair.
I don’t have too much to say about this, but I do agree with it. The whole queen abandoning kits would be interesting. I have seen it once or twice and it was a shock when it happened.
That sounds like a fun plot to play out! Other than that, still in agreement with the forbidden romance. In regards to what Rain mention I will admit I am bit confused by the cooldown system. It sounds like if a cat is below 18 moons that the spot would be almost reserved. That would mean no one could have that spot until it hits 10 moons within the roleplay. Chances are that spot would go to the cat that was below 18 moons because they are older now? As for the non-clan cats that sounds reasonable.
Now that I think about it would make sense for the admins to decide. This way it does give a bit of freedom for people not to feel like they must make one gender or the other however when the time comes the admin can request to have a certain gender to be made. I think a tracker like Xylynx mention would be a good idea so the admins can keep score.
I can see that in regards to joining Skyclan. I don’t see an issue with using them, but as you said only when they are needed. I think that would be cool to roleplay out with the whole Starclan meeting. Dark Forest trainees should only be plot related otherwise it would be a complete mess.

I mean that if a cat is half-Clan and are under 18 moons, the cooldown would come into place due to the forbidden romance still being somewhat "recent."

History Many moons ago, the forest was a wilderness, untamed by territories. Cats came into the forest, drawn in by the soft rustlings of small creatures, shadows under the water, and the sudden commotion of birds' wings in the trees. The cats lived in small groups, not yet Clans and there were no borders set down. The cats fought constantly, fearful that prey might run out and that their overlapping territories were being threatened. It was a lawless, bloody time for the forest, and many cats died. One night, when the moon was full, the cats agreed to meet at a clearing in the forest surrounded by four great oak trees. A terrible battle followed, and soon the ground was wet with spilled blood. Many cats died that night. When the survivors awoke, all around them they saw the spirits of their slain kin, no longer torn and bloodied but shining like fallen stars. The survivors huddled on the ground, and, as the spirits spoke, they saw terrible visions of the future. They knew that the fighting had to end. "Unite or die," said the spirits. Four cats--Shadow, River, Wind and Thunder--came forward claiming that they could individually unite the forest with their strengths. The spirits of the slain kin spoke again, "The forest is big enough to feed all your families and many more. You must each find other cats like you, choose a home in the forest, and set down borders." At that moment, the moon broke free of the clouds, revealing a circle of starlit spirit-cats around the edge of the clearing--StarClan. A white tom spirit-cat stepped forward. "If you do this," he meowed, "we will reward you with eight more lives, so that you may lead your Clans for many moons to come." The StarClan promised to watch over the Clans from Silverpelt, a crowded path of stars that swept across the night sky, and to visit the Clan leaders in their dreams and to guide them on their journeys. The spirit-cats proclaimed that all four Clans would meet at the full moon once a month at the four great oak trees for a night of truce. Thunder, River, Wind, and Shadow were pronounced warriors by the spirit-cats. "From now on, you will live by a warrior code. Your hearts will be filled with courage and nobility, and if you must fight, it will be not for greed, but for honor and justice." And so the age of warrior Clans began--ShadowClan, RiverClan, WindClan, and ThunderClan. There was not always peace between the Clans, but that was to be expected--cats are born with claws and teeth for a reason. Still, as long as they lived by the warrior code, their fallen ancestors would watch over them and guide them through their lives. Though there was one turbelent time in the life of the Clans. Twolegs ravaged the land of a forgotten Clan called SkyClan. After pleading for shelter, the leaders of River, Shadow, Thunder, and Wind banished them. Their faith shattered, the abandoned traveled to a gorge. There, they started a new life and hoped to forget the past. The gorge was not kind to them, as they had been chased from their and dispersed once by rats. When they rebuilt generations later, their kinds hearts were crushed as they had once again been chased out. Now, after two seasons, the small and fragile Clan has been brought hope. At the lake, where the four Clans who had once turned away SkyClan faced their own destruction of their land. When they had fought until the lake ran red, StarClan emerged and gave the Clans a quest to bring back peace. They would right their wrongs by helping the very Clan they had cast to the unknown. The wise cats of StarClan hoped their task could unite them and make them all see that no Clan could survive alone. Perhaps it would end the wars that had taken so many lives and risked running the Clans to extinction. The Clans forced themselves into a tense truce and awaited the day StarClan would once again speak. When SkyClan had been brought to the lake and given land, the Clans rejoiced. After giving a few of their own, SkyClan's numbers swelled and they were able to function without the assistance of the others. The five were reunited once again, yet there are troubles still ahead.. Territory The territory for the Clans have changes due to the addition of SkyClan. Please take time to look through, as you may be reprimanded if it becomes obvious you have not looked through the information on the front page. The Lake territory for RiverClan does not have any name by Twolegs. However, the Twoleg names for the borders are Littlepine Road, Littlepine Sailing Center, and Whitechurch Road. The territory includes the River Alba. Landmarks here include: ➤ Greenleaf Twolegplace - During greenleaf, Twolegs come here to swim noisily. ➤ Halfbridge - A peculiar bridge that ends halfway in the water. Twoleg boats are anchored to it. ➤ Lakeshore - RiverClan owns the south to western part of the lake shore. ➤ Camp - Like the other camp, this camp is tucked away on a piece of land surrounded by two streams, making it well-defended.
The camp is full of lush trees and streams full of fish. There is a main stream that joins a smaller one, and on that triangle of land, RiverClan's camp resides. In the camp, there is a nest of brambles which is where the nursery is. It is strongly reinforced. In other thickets are the elder's and leader's den. The medicine's den is behind a thorn bush and overhangs the stream. The earth was washed away, leaving a pool in the roots and a hole in the bank. This is essential for the medicine cat who can store their supplies and get fresh water any time. There aren't as many shiny things as the old camp, but Twolegs often leave behind shiny things that the cats can use to decorate their nests. However, they have to be careful, as not all Twoleg things are safe for them. The ShadowClan forest territory is located in an area that Twolegs call the Sadler Woods. The territory also includes Twoleg places such as the Hareview Campsite, the Sanctuary Cottage, and borders called Littlepine Road and the Littlepine Sailing Center. Landmarks in this territory include: ➤ Twoleg Nest - Home to two aggressive kittypets: Susan and Jacques. If they catch Clan cats out alone, they attack immediately. ➤ Small Thunderpath - There is a thunderpath that leads to the greenleaf twolegplace in RiverClan's territory. It acts as a border between RiverClan and ShadowClan. ➤ Lakeshore - ShadowClan owns the north-western part of the lake shore. ➤ Camp - Closer to Twolegs than in the old Forest territory, but it is well hidden and difficult for attacking enemies.
The camp has a small pool nearby, so the cats don't have to go all the way to the bottom of the lake to fetch water for elders or for the medicine cats. The actual camp is in a tangle of brambles, with low-hanging branches all around and above it. These brambles and branches help protect against badgers and other big creatures. Many trees surround the camp, enabling cats to climb up them and see the antics of the Twolegs on water. From these trees, the cats can see all the Twolegs and their boats in the water. The entrance of the camp is through a thorn tunnel, and brambles. At the camp entrance is a large boulder, which cats have to slip past to enter the camp clearing. There is a clear progression of dens from one side of the clearing to the other which are all in bramble thickets. The nursery is first, then the apprentices, then warriors, then the leader, and finally the elders at the end of the circle. This structure enables the kits and elders closest to the low-hanging branches and the warriors facing the entrance, if any kind of trouble. The medicine den is in a far corner, beyond the leader's den. It is a sandy, hollowed-out floor covered in dried pine needles. There, the branches aren't so bunched together, letting the medicine cats examine the skies for omens. Above the leader's den, there is a hazel branch that hangs over. This serves as a kind of vantage point for the leader to address their Clan. The Lake territory for SkyClan is located in Sadler and Hare Hill Woods. They reside in pieces of territory formerly owned by ThunderClan and ShadowClan as the two Clans gave up part of their territory for SkyClan to live beside the lake. Landmarks include: ➤ Greenleaf Twolegplace - Another place Twolegs inhabit during greenleaf. The Twolegs put up small dens and light terrifying fires. However, they also leave behind food much like the food found at the old Carrionplace. This was formerly a ShadowClan landmark. ➤ Halfbridge - A peculiar bridge that ends halfway in the water. Twoleg boats are anchored to it. RiverClan has a similar one in their territory. Despite this, ShadowClan tries to take it back. ➤ Twoleg Path - During greenleaf, Twolegs tramp along these paths all season. ➤ Camp - SkyClan makes their camp in a large hollow near the clearing. ➤ The Clearing - A training hollow that also houses an abundance of herbs.
The camp is slightly open, allowing the cats to see if a Clan is intruding. However, ferns, bracken, and thorns provide some cover and protection. The dens are varies hollowed logs, ranging in size and species of wood. They have a rock near the leader's den which they've named Sky Rock. The warriors and apprentices den are near the entrance. The leaders den resides next to the warriors den and faces the medicine cat den. The nursery and elders den are in the back with the most cover, offering shelter from the weather and making the elders, queens, and kits comfortable. The Lake territory for ThunderClan is called the Hare Hill Woods by Twolegs. Twoleg landmarks nearby include the Hareview Campsite, Abandoned Workman's House, Quarry Road, and the Quarry. Landmarks here include: ➤ An abandoned Twoleg Nest - Herbs and prey thrive here, though it has an ominous feeling inside. ➤ Sky Oak - An ancient oak where squirrels love to call home. It also has an old rabbit burrow inside. It is where ThunderClan apprentices practice their climbing skills. ➤ Lakeshore - ThunderClan has the north-eastern portion of the lake. ➤ Old Thunderpath - Marked with blue Twoleg markers, cats often stay away from this road. ➤ Camp - The camp is well protected by the side of a cliff, and surrounded by a thorn barrier.
At the bottom of an old cliff, this camp is very well protected. The walls around the camp are smooth, indicating Twolegs cut this place moons ago. The cliffs also help keep out the wind. A thorn barrier guards the camp; any cat that wants to come in has to get past. A ledge peeks out from the cliff. That is the Highledge where the leader speaks. A cave near the top is the leader's den. The apprentice's den is also a cave in the rocks while the warrior den is under a big thornbush. The medicine cat's den is another cave, but this time hidden by bramble tendrils. Like the previous camp, the nursery is highly guarded, and under a big bramble thicket reinforced with thick roots woven together for protection. Lastly, the elder's den is in a hazel bush, and later rebuilt under the boughs of a beech tree and reinforced with honeysuckle. The Lake territory for WindClan is called Hare Hill by Twolegs. The borders of the Clan have Twoleg names, such as the Hare Hill Riding Stables and Hare Hill road. Landmarks here include: ➤ Moonpool Stream - A stream marking WindClan's Northern border, which is shared with ThunderClan. Leads up to the Moonpool. ➤ Horseplace - The fence of Horseplace marks the Southern border of WindClan. Their heavy hooves make cats stay away from them. ➤ Lakeshore - WindClan is located on the south-eastern shore of the lake. ➤ Camp - A shallow scoop in the ground open to the sky.
A giant boulder resides in the center of the camp. This is called the Tallrock, where the leader makes his speeches. A gorse bush against the rock is the nursery. In another boulder is the medicine cat's den. The leader, apprentices, warriors sleep in the center underneath the sky, although in bad weather, they retreat in burrows made by rabbits, foxes or badgers. There is an old badger set where the elders sleep.

No worries Rain! As for permanent queens, I think they are fine since they are in the books. Three sounds reasonable since we don't want too many.

Ooh, that's a pretty map c: I can definitely see some conflict between SkyClan and ShadowClan or ThunderClan regarding territory, since the Twoleg Greenleaf place and the Clearing have been said to be poor hunting grounds, despite the left-behind food. SkyClan might also receive a bit of a bad name if it gets out that they eat Twoleg leftovers. Could serve as an interesting subplot of sorts. I like the already established conflict between Sky and Shadow over the halfbridge. At least there's the high possibility of border scuffles. Permanent queens is a nice idea, so long as they don't get out of hand. Three seems like a good hard cap, though I hope there's some development where a character decides they'd much rather stay in the nursery, rather than all permanent queens be joined as permanent queens from the start I guess that makes SkyClan the most likely candidate for previous other-clan cats then, without it sounding too far-fetched? Personally, I'd lay down a limit and not have more than half the clan be ex-otherclan, since SkyClan blood should still run strong. Perhaps the mixed blood in SkyClan could be a plot at some point? Like, the other clans claim that because SkyClan has so much blood from other clans, they are in debt to them or something? Possible bullying that SkyClan couldn't exist without the other fourOoh, yes, StarClan cats. Probably limit the number of playable StarClan cats, having most of them as NPCs or something. Previous leader/s would obviously be a good choice for 'major' StarClan roles, and previous meddie cats too. Dark Forest trainees would certainly have to be limited. Especially when you consider that cats don't actually know about the DF until they've been there, or heard about it - at least, until the big battle. I think an ex-DF trainee could be pulled off nicely if done right. I'm also curious about SkyClan (of course ) on the DF. Going off the fact that cats don't know about the DF unless they've been there/heard about it, would SkyClan have any idea of the Dark Forest? I don't think we know enough about them yet to be certain on whether any SkyClan cats have gone there or not. Again on forbidden relationships - if it's found out, punishment should be up to the leader, whether it be stepping down from their role, exile, whatever. The unpredictability of this event could be pulled off pretty well, and actually be a shock. Yeah, my idea of the tracker is mostly so people see for themselves that there should be more she-cats, or more toms, and hopefully make more of the minor gender. Those roleplays with 80% female cats because everyone wants kits aren't fun I'm done rambling now xD Getting more excited though, these banners and introductions are beautifully done and written c:

Honestly, I'm going to let you limit the number of other-Clan cats because it is your Clan. Yeah, it does impact the others, but I see SkyClan having a lot more cats than what they did in Hawkwing's Journey. Also considering that this takes way into the future, SkyClan should have had the chance to grow in numbers, but have their typical ways. What would really be interesting is their view on Daylight Warriors now that they're at the lake. Would they allow some kittypets to walk in both worlds or accept what is given to them? I also agree that it would make for nice plot and since we're kinda in the middle of a developed history for the role-play where it isn't the typical five Clans, we can bend things how we wish. I also hope no one minds how I set it up because I had this planned for a little and decided to bring it back due to votes. Also, map comment made me smile like a dork. ;3;
I'm good with that, though on a person level, I don't mind some "regular" warriors that have done something kind of noble to earn some recognition. Given that, we have a chance to build some lore as well that can develop each Clan's current character. And with permanent queens, I think that would be better, actually. Especially with an older she-cat that knows she only has one or two litters left in her and just wants to have more time with the younger generation.
Well, they believe in StarClan, but it could be interesting to see their reactions about the tales of The Great Battle. It's up to you and I'll go with whatever you choose. And going off of that, I may have been the one to start and "own" this, but it will be a group effort when we open. As long as it isn't something out there and for no reason, it doesn't necessarily have to be ran by me. I want to make this clear so you guys don't feel like I'm the almighty Rainleaf and my say goes over yours. Even now, it's a group discussion and I don't mind having my opinion and my view not being used. If that even makes sense. I only ask that rules be followed and we do things logically in and out of the role-play.
Totally agreed, and it would be intriguing to see someone well-respected get off a bit lightly because of either their status or connections. Not necessarily the leader being kind, but also a political move. And as long as people don't mold their characters to fit the plot and instead develop them from their reactions to the plot, I'm chill. I don't want to see a character who is noble and would never break the code to creaking the code and being with another cat because true love wins. That would also be interesting, someone pulling something similar to LeafxCrow in terms of one ends it because their loyalty is stronger to their Clan.
I can put a tracker on the joining page's coding as well and when a new member gets accepted, it changes accordingly. That brings me to something that won't be in the main rules, but staff rules. I do have a set of staff rules, but I also want to discuss it.
In a little bit, I will be leaving to go have breakfast with some of my family. We're going to Denny's, but it should take about an hour. My aunt and uncle are picking me up and I don't know if they plan to tag me along with them to other places. I will be poofing in a few minutes to take a shower. Scold me if I take too long.

Is better map than I could do. I make blobs of colour and label them xD I don't trust my editing skills yet. Sweet freedom with the clanI personally think SkyClan would adopt a less accepting view on kittypets and loners/rogues, if only to fit in with the others. I'll mull it over for a bit, though I think I'll stick with no more than half the clan joining from the other four - the character I have in mind for leader seems a bit too proud to allow his precious clan to be 'tainted' by non SkyClan blood, though of course recognises the value in a spread heritage all the battle moves. I think by now, Daylight Warriors would probably be removed from SkyClan, or maybe it might be a big decision in the RP. The realisation that any clan could attack at night, when a good chunk of their warriors and apprentices are gone, would be a good wake up call to have that meeting/decision. Oh, and on the topic of bending things, this would be in the same timeline as the Great Battle, though events after that would be altered to fit the RP? I'm probably getting too deep into this xD Yeah, older queens seem more likely to fit the permanent queen role - they'd be more experienced with kits, so it makes sense. They have more to offer than a queen with her first litter. I think I'll go with them not knowing about the Dark Forest, and maybe learning about the battle from the other clan cats that increase SkyClan ranks. Clan story time!Logical is good, and I have no problems disputing anything anyone says if I don't agree. We all seem to be on the same page though, which is good c: I definitely like the level of involvement by clan admins/whatever you want to call them. Doesn't feel as 'strict' as others, which are like 'here's the clan and its info'. Yes, yes. No character molding to the plot. Icky stuff don't want it around xD I'll probably be up all night anyway, since I slept most of today Already developing my SkyClan leader. Much excitement from how much say I can have in development. Again, very nice and involving~

Couldn't have say those any better myself so I am in agreement with that. Yes I am getting excited for this as well and I am still amazed at how well organized and everything these are! Trust me I have seen the "almighty creator" and I am not getting those vibes here. If I felt like I was basically throwing ideas to a brick wall I probably would have stopped a long time ago. Alright Rain at fun at Denny's!
Anyway I did remember an old rule idea I had and that was regarding medicine cats. I feel that we should add that medicine cats need to locate herbs that would be in their respective territories. If they can't find them there, then they will need to travel to another clan's territory. I have seen too many times about herbs magically appearing in their territories that wouldn't make sense to grow there. Not only that, but seasons can sometimes be ignored so certain herbs that shouldn't be available suddenly are or they seem to be so easy to find when in reality they should be harder to find. This can involve weather too although I tend to see it more with seasonal changes.

That's a good point about herbs. On the Warriors Wiki herb list it has where some of those herbs are located. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out where the rest of the herbs would grow just by some quick google searches.
I'd actually love to sort the herbs into their respective territories - love me some plants.
It would make some good interaction between clans, possibly herb trading? Leafbare is what I typically see ignored, with med. cats sorting herbs and then going out and finding all the herbs they need. I'll include seasons with locations of herbs because I'm a nerd.
Territory-bound herbs may also make for more 'unusual' remedies, such as using not so well-known herbs rather than the more 'common' ones. Chickweed or hawkweed instead of catmint/nip, for example.
Because I'm a nerd I'm gonna go ahead and do the thing xD

Checking in! We're going to run a few places then I'll be home. They want to take me to a movie later.
I'm glad I don't give off those vibes. I know I do a lot, but I do it because I didn't want anyone to feel overwhelmed. On the bright side, most of the stuff has been done or preplanned save for the rules and plot. ;3;
I have a list of herbs ready to go, they give either the territory or general area. Maybe we can decide which still be available in abundance in which season?
I have one character in mind. Since it's kinda on the table, do you have any idea what rank in the Clan you want, Chibi? I don't mind whichever one you want.
I remember seeing you around, feel free to fill out a form if you'd like to help!
Gotta get going, see you all soon.

I love what all of you have come up with so far and I think having a tracking system would be a good idea. Having a forbidden relationship would be great to have them shocked and I agree with Rain. It would be great to see someone pull off what CrowxLeaf did.
Honestly Rain you don't seem like the "almighty creator" to me. If you were I wouldn't help/join as much as I do XDD.
Also with the herbs that would be great.
Also, love the map and the clan icons there Rain X3.
I hope you have fun Rain X3. And to let everyone know I'll be leaving whenever my dad gets home my boyfriend and I need to finish cleaning his grandfather's backyard.

Yep that is the one thing I hope would come out of this. Aside from gatherings or for plot reasons, it sometimes feels that medicine cats don't have enough interactions with each other on a general basis. Herb trading is something I would see happening.
That makes me happy to hear! I am not well-verse in herbs, but I always found that to be a fascinating part of the series and still wish to learn more. It would be great to see less well-known herbs being use if they happen to grow in the territory. To me, it gives off a bit more of a challenge since in general being a medicine cat is a challenging task. Yes Leafbare is the season I tend to see this happening the most in. Certain herbs like catnip seem to disappear because it acknowledges the plot, but other than that it is what you said about it. Of course this doesn't go for all medicine cats.
In agreement with placing the herbs in their respective seasons and locations so that people can go back and look if they forget.
Hey there! I do feel I remember seeing you around as Coldsight. If you decide to help, then I can't wait to see you around!
That's fine Rain as long as you are not overwhelming yourself. Alright have fun at the movies! What movie you were planning to see if you don't mind me asking? To answer your question about ranks, I am thinking about either deputy or medicine cat apprentice. I am not sure which ones, but I do know I would prefer not being a leader or medicine cat. I should have a firm answer once I figure out what kind of cat I want to play. However if you feel that your cat would be better in either one of those positions, I am fine with going to the other rank that is open since I would be comfortable with both. Thanks for asking!
Alright Cinder, we will see you around when you get the chance!

Hey there Chibi!
I would also want to bring up a rule that I have brought up before.
If one wishes to be a rogue they have to be in the Clan's territory, but not all over the place. It would be confusing and also be hard to keep track of their character. If they wish to move their character to another's Clan's territory they would have to ask both admins of the Clan they were before and the one they wish to move too. And they can't do constantly do it either.

Hey Cinder!
Ah I was hoping you would bring that back. Anyway I am in agreement with it. I have seen too many times the wandering rogue popping up in different places like they are ninja and it becomes confusing after a while. Also a precaution, I think we should add that when you are playing a rogue you are doing so at your own risk. Don't be mad if you are caught by a patrol, and they act hostile towards you possibly even trying chase you out. This goes double if your rogue is the type to cause trouble. I say this because I remember seeing someone who decided to have their rogue raid a clan's camp for food (somehow) and then got upset when they were attacked claiming that it was unfair.

Sorry for my poof.
Yeah, I agree with that if their character is doing something to a Clan. The Clan characters have a right to retaliate. Not only that but they are on their territory.

I also think that the loner/rogue should have some kind of purpose to be wandering the territory. Whether it be for skirmishes or something related to the Clan, it should be made clear. However, I think anyone who creates a loner for the sole purpose of a forbidden romance will have that character declined. I did have someone who had a loner just for the purpose of romance and then also argued with the rule Cyn mentioned earlier. I know it's a little harsh, but loner and rogues rarely come around. As for kittypets, I think they should have a fluxerating number of allowed characters due to the Clan and season. ShadowClan could have the most exposure due to being next to a twoleg nest. SkyClan would have more exposure in the warmer seasons and ThunderClan would follow with SkyClan, but encounters would be much less due to giving up some of their territory. RiverClan and WindClan would have the least exposure, but I see them having it primarily in greenleaf. As for other animal encounters, badgers and foxes would be common all around. Dogs could be more common in greenleaf, but WindClan would possibly have a higher chance along with SkyClan and ThunderClan due to the twoleg places. Cyn can decide for ShadowClan since they have one nest that seems to be active.
I also apologize for my disappearance. Lately, I've been having headaches and dizziness. Cyn and Chibi know, but I feel like I should tell everyone else. I have a conversion disorder and will have what I call "episodes." I would get dizzy and pass out or appear to pass out, but can't move. It can be as long as 15 minutes or take hours. I am very tired afterwards and usually have a headache or an earache. I also have a much harder time focusing on things. I had a headache earlier and started to get a little dizzy and bam, I slept a good majority of the day. It's nothing to worry about, as I can't do much against it. I'll be fine.
Now that I've explained that.. I'm going to post the staff rules I have in another post. If you have any additions, changes, or suggestions to expand upon certain things, please say so. I wrote this a month or two ago and have no issue changing them to better suit us. Plus I may have changed things. If you're curious as to why I have a different set of rules just for staff, it's because there are additional things I want to touch on upon to make sure the staff knows what they can do and can't do. This is also off-topic, but I can also post the chance charts and see what everyone things of those.
We haven't discussed consequences yet. I think we should have a system and it's partially shown in the member section how many warnings they have. I don't really see Clan creators cracking down a poor behavior or violations to role-play rules. It could be because I haven't personally seen it and it happened a few pages ago, or it just never happens. I think if a member violates something small like posting too short of a post too often, they should be issued a warning. Two warnings would equal a star or circle and then they would get the warning that they received whatever symbol. The second time this happens, I think they should get more than a warning. It could be that they cannot not "attend" the Gathering and maybe their characters have to stick in camp for a day or two. The third time, their apprentices could have an additional training session added on before they become a warrior, if they do not have an apprentice, (or the alternate option if they have both) but have a warrior acting as a mentor, their apprentice will be assigned a new mentor for a week and that cat will be sick or under punishment for something. The fourth warning will result in previous punishments from before and a week's suspension from that Clan. Now, if they have joined two Clans, the two admins can discuss if this will impact both Clans or just the one. If they show a better attitude in the other Clan, I personally think it should only be in the Clan they're not doing so well with. If they are given a fifth official warning, they are deleted. They may rejoin that Clan once, but cannot have any special plots, positions, or maybe even apprentices until two weeks in. I also think they should start in on the second official warning and if they prove to be much better over two weeks or a month, then the admin can talk to the others about wiping the slate "clean" for the moment. Thoughts?
Not sure if I linked it, but here is the layout page.
Edit: I'll be making two more posts. One is image heavy and contains the joining forms the other has the staff rules. I made these ahead of time and really, I'm just making new coding and new graphics, the content is the same as before on another layout page.

All staff must be on at least six days a week. You are allowed to be "just checking" your pages, but if you role-play somewhere, you also need to role-play here. Life can get in the way, but if you have time to role-play at another place, you can make a short post here. A simple greeting will not suffice, meaning it needs to be something kind of important. As for legitimately role-playing, you need to at least five days a week. A Clan cannot and will not survive if an admin is inactive. If you feel that you can no longer run your Clan, please tell the other admins. We will begin to discuss our options. Admins that step down will be offered a mod position if they like. However, this may be turned down. This is a process Rainleaf started on WCF. It is not what some think it is, which is that deputies are secondary leaders. This is outside the role-play is among the leaders. In all honesty, this is a last resort. A secondary leader is taken from the current admins. They have either been chosen, volunteered, or assigned to lead and run a Clan if the current admin cannot. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, as admins may take a noted hiatus for vacation, it was inspired by the issue of disappearing admins. In the case of an admin that had just left the forums or the role-play without warning, the secondary leader will run the Clan until a new leader is decided upon. Obviously, the mods and trusted members will be looked at first. This is only for page control, as we will not strip a regular member's character's rank if they happen to be deputy. The previous admin's characters will be killed off or replaced with similar characters. Considering there are many different circumstances this will be activated, it would be best to better explain how it would work in that situation over trying to figure out how to now. We apologize if this looks unorganized, but it's best to wait instead of worrying about everything that can go wrong. Secondary leaders also serve another purpose. They are to monitor the work of the admin they have been assigned to and make sure they are upholding the rules and doing what they are meant to do. If the admin is caught doing something they should not be doing, a penalty will be issued. Before anyone questions this, it will be delivered in the private chat for the staff. Evidence must also be provided. It will be discussed and if the admin being issued the penalty is innocent, as something may have been missed, then the penalty will be taken away. The first penalty is a warning. The second results in temporary loss of their administrative rights except for updating the page. Their leader character will lose a life and fall ill or injured and be unable to do their duties. The secondary leader and the staff of that Clan will handle the administrative rights and the deputy will perform the leader's duties. The third penalty results in the demotion of the admin to a regular member and the page will be remade. Their leader character will retire or step down and the deputy will become leader. Five strikes equal a penalty unless it is a severe case. To prevent issues constantly coming up, the admin and their secondary leader will meet twice a week and discuss issues with the Clan. Strikes may be discussed here. Admins and staff are restricted in the roles they may take. If an admin chooses to have the leader position in their Clan, they can not take the deputy, medicine cat, or the medicine cat position. However, they may take those positions in the other Clans if the admin of that Clan permits. Deputies will be chosen by the admin. While regular members do have the chance to be deputy, they will not always be promoted to mod status because their character is deputy. Mods and trusted members will be looked at first for the position. There will be a rotation for deputy in place, but if all of the admins give their permission, an admin may not have to do this with their Clan. The rotation is simple, if an admin has a leader that dies and the deputy becomes leader, a character belonging to the admin will be deputy. Medicine cats and their apprentices will not be chosen. However, the medicine cat must be alright with getting an apprentice. As for plots, admins will be doing something called "Chance Charts." These are to help push a plot forward and cause conflict within the Clan, as well as create a sense of realism. Admins must be fair with these. If there is a member you do not like, you cannot rig the chances against them. You also cannot rig the chances to where the majority of your characters live or the majority of them die.

There are two forms. One is for living cats, the other is for deceased cats. If you'd like to have some kind of relation with an existing cat, it's best to ask the owner of the character. As for cats in StarClan and the Place of No Stars, please keep them to a minimum and only make them if you think you may use them for prophecies and dreams. ➤ Name | Age | Gender | Sexuality Description of five sentences minimum ➤ Tagged Member Clan: Answer Rank: Answer Kin: Answer Romantic Interest?

I got a basic herb list nearly finished. Includes territories found in, a brief description, and will eventually have seasons the herb grows best in. YES. THE REALISTIC REACTIONS TO A ROGUE IS TO CHASE IT OFF THE TERRITORY. Too many times I've seen rogues just enter camp and the leader casually stroll up and be like 'sup'. I got kicked from an RP because I made one of my apprentice characters try and start a fight to chase the rogue out of camp. I mean, even Ravenpaw got some hostility despite ThunderClan at least knowing him. Smudge in Firestar's Quest got attacked by Ashfur and Brambleclaw(paw?), despite his link to Firestar Frankly, I feel that if a healthy clan cat doesn't try to chase off a rogue, they probably aren't doing their duty as a warrior correctly. If the non-clan cat looks sick or badly injured, sure, allow some leeway for the 'gentler' characters to escort them out/offer help. It should also be noted that a rogue should not have been 'wandering RiverClan territory since she was born' as I'm pretty sure any clan would chase out a rogue once they weren't a kit. In short, rogues should not have been in clan territory for a long time - a few days, sure. It can easily be mentioned that a strange scent has been noticed on patrols in recent days. Something should happen about it, though. If kittypets/loners are to be allowed into the clan, maybe only during newleaf/greenleaf, when the clan territory can support them? I can hardly imagine a leader accepting another mouth into their clan in leafbare, and then have to go through training. This way, by joining in newleaf/greenleaf, the character is able to give back to the clan. Got a curiousity about one of the rules: regarding the ranks, where the admin cannot take two 'high ranks'. Would it be possible to make an exception if there is no suitable cat for deputy (including those who are purposely made to be the perfect deputy). Or have I simply misread something? Entirely possible since I've been all over the countryside today xD If the exception is made, I would assume that the admin would have to accept that their doubled-up deputy would have to step down, retire, die, etc., or the leader must die. In short, once an acceptable cat crops up, they are to replace the admin's doubled-up deputy. Just wanting clarification c: Love how much effort you've clearly put into the form though And the variety in icons!
