Agreed, and I don't think every rogue or loner that drops by should be allowed to join the Clan. Even though ThunderClan gets a lot of crap about the outsiders, there have been decent reasons as to why save for Sol, I think. Daisy was allowed in because of her kits and Stormcloud was because of the storm and he helped out, I think. The only times overall where it was random and out of character for a cat to join or reside in the territory was the group of loners in WindClan, and Red and Boulder in Yellowfang's Secret.
I look forward to seeing the herb list! I think I have those set to go on the Gathering page with the ceremonies. Speaking of that page, it will have both the Gatherings at the island and the Moonpool meetings. I don't want to make two separate pages when they cant be joined together.
To clarify, I think there was the exception for when we first opened. I remember not putting it the rules because because I only see us having issues with deputies at the beginning. If anyone asks when we open, we can direct them to this page where it's been discussed. I feel like putting a limit isn't really needed in terms of how long we have to find a deputy. If some of the admins feel that someone is taking too long, it can be brought into discussion.
I agree that having them wander the territory for so long is a bit.. god-mod-y? There's no way a cat can survive that long without being spotted and either chased out or brought into the Clan if they were a kit. It is also out of character for the Clan and I wouldn't appreciate someone having that. Speaking of this reminds me, are we alright with someone saying they are one of the best hunters/fighters/trackers? So it's not confusing, they aren't the best, but they are known to be pretty decent and are at the top with a few others? Am I the only one who doesn't like when "beautiful" or "handsome" is used in descriptions? It just rubs me the wrong way because someone may think they aren't beautiful or handsome.
Thanks! ;3; I'm glad you're good with them. The icons took forever, and the black and white ones I may switch out for a better looking picture, but I appreciate it. x3
I know I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but what if we also have some contests and activities for the Clans and overall role-play? We could have a writing contest among the members and the admins would vote on the winner, same with art. I mention this because while role-playing kind of brings people together, having activities outside of it can really establish a sense of community. We can even have "Character Spotlights" were a random character is chosen and is showcased in the news section or on the joining page with a little bit of trivia that isn't in their description.
Are you two today?

I never thought much about the whole rogue living on a clan's territory for so long, but that is a very good insight. It does appear to be god-mod-y for the same reasons that Rain mention. Yes a rogue/loner should have a good reason to join and it would make sense with the seasonal changes unless the outsider proves that they can be useful outside those stated seasons. Hmm... I feel that would be okay. I mean I have mention that my cats are better suited for one role (such as hunting) vs. another skill(s). Those haven't bother me as much as when someone seems to state that their cat is the best at their role. Unless proven in roleplay, you can't assume that your cat is the best out of every one of their clanmates. Personally I prefer to avoid using beautiful and handsome in my descriptions for the same reasons you mention. I also try to avoid in roleplay unless my cat has an ego and believes that they are the hottest thing to exist. It also sounds like they are turning borderline Mary and Gary stu to me. To be on the safe side, I think it is best to avoid those.
I feel that contests and activities would be a good idea. It gives the members something to do outside of the roleplay and as you said form a tighter community. It is also not something I see done with many groups here, but I have seen it done off-site and it seems to work.
Also those icons are amazing! Thanks for doing that Rain!

If herbs don't have a specific application/use, I made one up that I think fits And if the herb doesn't grow at the lake (eg. broom and lamb's ear) I've removed it from the list. If the herb grows in part of the territory, it's listed too, with a description of where it would be (eg. SkyClan has both ShadowClan and ThunderClan land, so both damp and dry land. Some herbs grow in damp/wet areas, some grow in dry, forested areas) I heavily based the locations off the five-clan map you provided, Rainleaf c: you can't say I didn't look at it now >:3Where SkyClan is listed, it uses either old ShadowClan or ThunderClan territory. Hopefully not too hard to tell. It is to be assumed that, for the most part, all herbs grow best in newleaf-greenleaf unless otherwise stated. Herbs are harder to find during leafbare.
Ctrl+F to search for a clan name, herb name, or certain keywords (eg. bellyache)

Water Hemlock [RiverClan] A plant with green/white flowers in little umbrella shaped clusters. The second most poisonous plant in the territories, after deathberries, it can cause writhing, pain, and foaming at the mouth when eaten.
Basic herb list made :3 I think explicitly stating that your character is the best hunter/fighting/tracking/etc shouldn't be allowed. However, saying that they're highly skilled in that area, above average, should be acceptable. 'One of the best' is fine to me. And I totally feel you on using handsome/beautiful/similar in descriptions, as it's up to the characters, not the user, to decide on the beauty of a cat. If it's in character, I mention that 'Dudeclaw likes to think of himself as being handsome' or something similar. However, that is if it's in character of course. Not all cats care massively about appearances. Contests and whatnot seem a good idea. I'll probably end up doing some sketches of a few cats because I really want to work on confidence with my drawing tablet

Alright, how should we word that part of the rule about being beautiful? xD
Phew, I was worried we'd be against it because we'd have to plan out things. Though it would be really fun. I don't think we should start one until each Clan has enough members.
Thanks, Chibi! I'm glad you all like them.
Speaking of Clans, WindClan still doesn't have an admin. I know we are a bit new still, but considering at the rate we're planning it may be best to think of options if someone does not turn up. A lot of the information has been previously completed and ready to go. We're discussing rules right now and while those are being typed, we can discuss what all we want in the plot. In all honesty, we're zooming on forward and I like it, though it does make me a bit nervous because of the lack of a fifth admin.
The herbs look great, Xy! Do you mind if I organize them by illnesses, wounds, other, and poisons as well? Some people who want to be medicine cat may not be the best with the herbs and may want to try different variations instead of the well-known treatments in the books.
I may also do a few sketches and drawings. I'm really excited for this role-play.

Those are really helpful Xy (do you mind if I call you that?)! Thanks for doing that. I can't wait to see your cats! I still feel a bit braindead on what cat(s) I will be making. Just as a heads up, I won't be on much today as I have some homework I need to complete. I will be heading off here soon to go and pick up some things from the store. I will answer my thoughts on what was mentioned above when I get the chance!

Thanks, Chirp! We're just discussing rule ideas and other small things right now. We still have some tasks to do, so feel free to help if you'd like. You can stay here and chat as well, I certainly don't mind. Xy did sort out the herbs for us, and I have the illnesses on another page, but I greatly appreciate the offer!

Yep, Xy is cool as a nickname c:
I typically put the whole 'my cat is the best looking/hunter/fighter/whatever' in with god-moding or sues. Just a brief explanation that other characters decide if your cat is pretty/handsome/whatever, and that 'best hunter/fighter/etc.' is over-powering a character in a way.
Regarding WindClan, perhaps one person could admin two clans? Or it could be added as an NPC clan until someone claims it, at which point all previous interactions can be retconned or whatever. It shouldn't be too hard to bring another person up to speed, especially since all info is here in this thread.
Go ahead and organise the herbs however you want c: The way I typed them, I made sure to include simple keywords, such as the 'problem' itself (broken leg, bellyache, fever, etc.) I figure that by ctrl+f problems, different remedies can be found c:

Hmm, I'm hesitant to do that because someone may feel overwhelmed. I'm also not sure about the NPC idea because I had to do that at one point because the admin never came back after a while and the head of the role-play didn't want to face the issue. The Clan constantly died because no one wanted to join and the new admin left again.
Thanks! It will actually be better than the set I have.

I'd love to! Just set me to work, I don't know how much needs to be done, but I'm free all day Is it possible that I could claim a medicine cat, or is it too early for making characters? If you don't want me to, I don't mind at all. We haven't really decided or set in stone who will get what rank. Before you can officially help, I kindly ask you hand in a form. The others have and I'm honestly not trying to be rude, but it would be unfair to the others if you didn't give one. That doesn't sound mean, does it? ono'

Oh, I'm so glad! xD Take your time with it, there's no rush.

➤ Stormwolf
➥ Clan you wish to run/lead: WindClan
➥ Role-plays you have ran/led: All offsite - first time on an official-unofficial Warriors dedicated forum unfortunately. My apologies that I cannot provide any solid evidence so I understand if you don't want me to run a clan.
➥ Link to a role-play sample: I can't link anything since I don't have any readily available, but I can give a small sample off the top of my head to start with. I can do more if you want.
Stormwolf darted through the forest, nearly tripping up on a root at some point. He needed to get back to camp. It was important that he got back to camp; he had to warn Stonestar that he'd overheard a RussetClan patrol talking about claiming some of SnowClan's land, the land he and his fellow warriors defended tooth and claw, for leafbare.
"Stonestar! Where's Stonestar?" The massive tabby swung his head around, his voice booming throughout camp. Leafheart, his mate and deputy, bounded over. Clearly she knew something was going on. "Stonestar's out on patrol near the DawnClan border. Why?" She asked, puzzled but genuinely curious. She knew Stormwolf wouldn't make this big a fuss unless it was important. "A RussetClan patrol. I heard them talking to a DawnClan patrol about taking our territory," he kept his voice low, not wanting anyone to overhear and panic. Fury sparked in Leafheart's eyes, the fur along her spine stiffening. Clearly she didn't take too kindly to threats on SnowClan.
"I'll go fetch her now. Come with me," she beckoned Stormwolf with her tail and called over her shoulder, "Longwhisker, look over the camp while I'm gone!" Stormwolf barely had time to see a nod in reply before he took off after the disappearing tail of his mate.
➥ Anything you wish to tell us? I live with Xylynx, and they told me to try for WindClan. I'm fine if I don't get it if you think it might be better for someone else to have it since Xylynx and I live together. I can assure you SkyClan will keep its nose out of WindClan! So when Xylynx is on, it's likely that I'll also be on. I swear we won't take over each other's duties ouo
Also, WindClan is best C:<
I hope it's alright that I seem a bit newbish. Xylynx told me I should give it a try since I apparently complain about not finding decent Warrior's RPs anywhere. Xylynx is a plebian

One question about the roleplay sample. Do you want me to write one now, copy and paste a recent post, or paste a link to a recent roleplay? That is completely up to you. I tend to check on past role-plays anyways, so linking does make it easier to do that. If you have the muse to write a new sample, that's fine as well.
Did Xy have you make an account just to help with this or...? xD As for living together, it's no real issue. Cyn and I live in the same town and went to school with each other, so it'd be hypocritical for me to deny you on that reason.

You're accepted, Chirp! I wouldn't say you'd have to approve, just be ready to respond to a massive post if need be. The minimum will most likely be three or five (preferably five) sentences. I'll put you down for RiverClan since it's your first choice unless Cyn really wants you and you're fine with switching.

Xylynx has actually told me quite a few times since they became more active that I should join this site because there's a chance I'll find something I like. They told me yesterday that I should check this one out in particular and lend a hand if I wanted to.
So I made my account of my own free will, Xylynx just nudged me a bit to make me stop complaining XD This looks promising, so eh, why not?

Okay, good. xD I was going to chew them out for forcing you to join if it was the case. D:< Welcome to the crew! Don't worry about being new, it's not really a big deal to me.
You're welcome! I think we all are, it is shaping up to be a decent role-play in my opinions.
I'm glad I remembered this, what is everyone's opinion on "banning" the Clans' names for prefixes and suffixes and well as keeping a limit on them? For example, there could be a Bluefur in ThunderClan and no one can join with another lue- until Bluefur dies or leaves the Clan for some reason, but Blue- can be used in the other Clans since there isn't one? I know the Clans in the books double up on prefixes, but a lot of the complaints about it is that they confuse the characters. We can even "ban" similar sounding names. Aspenfur and Ashenfur can easily be confused with each other in the same Clan, so we could ask the person who just joined with the newer character if they can change the suffix to prevent confusion. I hope that made sense.

Don't chew on me D:I think clan names shouldn't be used as suffixes, just as sun and moon technically shouldn't be used. I agree on two of the same prefix, max, in a clan. However, there should be a decent age gap between them (eg. Mousefur and Mousewhisker) so that they both weren't apprentices or kits at the same time. Probably shouldn't have too many of the same suffix either I don't mind similar names, though I can see how a typo could confuse, given your example. A limit on names should be imposed too - the usual 'cats don't know what Twoleg objects/mythology/whatever are', or them not knowing the actual names of rocks/gems to human extent. Then again, I'm partial to the traditional naming system. Obvious 'lyrical' names, such as Pinkhorizon/Dawnglimmer/you get it would also be 'egh' in my books. Poor Stormy flips when he sees them because he's an absolute stickler for full-on traditional naming. Starrystar for leader 2k17

^^ I agree.
Also, names like Starkit, Unicornfur, Sparkleshine, etc. shouldn't be allowed. And things the warriors don't know of like Seashine or Summerheart. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What do you guys think of names like Thunder-, Wind-, River-, Shadow-, and Moon- though? They're said to be banned in the books, but I've seen a few cats with moon in their name, like Moonflower and Ambermoon..

Moon was supposed to be sacred. I personally believe that if there's only one of something, it shouldn't be used as a name. So sun/moon are out. There are exceptions obviously, though I go by that as a general rule. The clans know there is more than one lake in the world, for example.
The clan names (Thunder, River, Sky, Wind, Shadow) shouldn't be used as I feel they're somewhat sacred too.
Xylynx hit the nail on the head with 'lyrical names'. Though that may be because I do prefer traditional naming, in which the name should describe the cat.
SkyClan cats might have slight leeway, depending on Xylynx's decision on daylight warriors, I suppose.

Yeah, I saw a Mangopaw or whatever for the four/five once and I wished I had the power to tell them that it made no sense. Obviously named like Dragonfur or related to such shouldn't be allowed. I think the max of two prefixes works better in a single Clan setting, but in my opinion, it doesn't in one Clan when there are four others. We can technically have five White-s (How do I even write that properly? xD) but I don't see the issue with anyone reserving a prefix that is already used or being used.
I agree with moon being banned, but sun doesn't exactly have any significance like moon does. Sunstar, Sunstrike, and there may be a few others... But any name with the name of the five Clans should be out. I like the name Runningwind, but it can easily be changed to Runningbreeze. I also don't mind some unique names as long as it isn't too unique to where someone is grabbing for attention. (Ex: Mousecatcher is suitable to me, but Quailcatcher seems a bit attention-grabbing since quails aren't too common.) Also, be careful using Rabbit- and any suffix with ch- at the beginning. It censors it.
If we all really want to have the two prefixes, then I say one needs to be an elder or at the age of an elder for it to be used by an apprentice or younger. I'm not too sure, but Mousefur was almost an elder, if not already one, when Mousewhisker was born/brought into the Clan. I also agree that SkyClan could have more leeway due to them being new to the lake and potentially having odd names from their mixed roots.
