I don't remember the meddies being claimed?? At least not windclans yet. I think Kale might've claimed one but not sure

Ahh each leader automatically gets a leader spot in one clan and a deputy or medicine cat role in another. The other unclaimed role is open for joiners, but I think the other leaders would agree with me in that we'd probably want to wait to see if the person who wants to claim that role is active in rping and all that jazz. If you want to claim a medicine cat apprentice though, you can as those work like normal apprentices. Just make sure that the leader wants a medicine cat apprentice in their clan! Also I know I had claimed Shadowclan meddie cat, but I'm not sure about the other two. Give me a second to check that out!

Alright, I'll get started on discord server then!
I'm a little confused by your question, rain, so feel free to correct me if I'm interpreting it wrong. Are you asking what we should do if both parents are the same color, but we want some variety in the kits? I think we could definitely ask for parents if the rper is comfortable coming up with those. We can also offer up help if they're not that confident in their skill, or if someone wants a specific color or pattern.
That works for breeds!
I'll look into Sparrow's Garden too tali!
Cool cool. I've always imagined Goldenstar like Graystripe had he become a leader. Overconfident, lenient, and kinda dumb. I think Breezewhisker could be an interesting foil to that overconfidence, but Ferndance would also add an interesting dynamic. Idk it's up to you.

Yeah, that's what I meant! Red and cream are the only ones that are limiting, I think.
I can do Breezewhisker, then! He'll probably wonder why he was picked deputy. xD How do we want to do the relationship between the two? Were they former friends or former mentor and apprentice? Or is Breezewhisker related to Goldenstar in some way?

Okay chill.
Hmm depends how old Breezewhisker is. Like if you wanted to go full out nepotism he could possibly be Goldenstar's son, but I'd also be down for him being a former apprentice or a nephew maybe?

I'm down for either. Though I can always "switch" characters if he doesn't fit genetically? I don't know what Quietdawn looks like and I think Lionpaw is pale ginger or cream just basing on the image provided, correct me if I'm wrong. If he is Goldenstar's nephew, he can be by Goldenstar's side or Quietdawn's, depends on you, though if he is Goldenstar's son, he'd probably be mentoring his first apprentice. Do you have an age in mind for Goldenstar? I don't know if we're including ages or not. (I personally think we should because we can track apprentices better that way.)

Yeah, Lionpaw is my cream baby. I mean, apparently the cream coloring is linked more to ginger, but they do look alike.

in regards to shadowclan positions - i have leader and peng has medicine cat, and both deputy and medicine cat apprentice are unavailable - deputy because of the plot, and meddie apprentice because i was thinking the med cat would be relatively new, like very recently having gotten their name, so they have time to do their own thing before choosing an apprentice
i have windclan meddie apprentice as a claimed spot i believe

Hmm I didn't have a set color for Queitdawn, but she could be silver and white tabby? I was looking at your generator to double check that it could possibly work out and it looks like you could have Breezewhisker as a blue and white tabby? And then Lionpaw could still be a cream tabby? I'm definitely a fan of ages, I had Goldenstar around 55~ moons give it take a few. So Breezewhisker could technically be 35 moons and I'd be chill with it. Up to you tho, having him be a nephew could be interesting too.

That could work, though only if you're okay with Quietdawn being that color. I can always change my character's name and appearance. I'm also good with him being 35 moons. So would he be mentoring his first apprentice or his second one?

As far as I know, I don't think Drea got back to me on whether she wanted the Windclan deputy or medicine cat?

Post by lazy penguin on Jan 30, 2019 12:09:43 GMT -5
I'm fine with that!
It depends. I feel like Goldenstar would want his son to be ready for an apprentice before just giving him one, so I could see them having conversations about it every time a litter came close to apprenticeship. So like, I could see him having one before becoming deputy if you wanted that. But I could also see Goldenstar wanting his son close to him after Quietdawn died. So even if he hadn't mentored an apprentice prior Goldie probably just gave him one so he could be deputy? If you wanted to go for the second one, maybe the apprentice he was given wasn't a new apprentice? Like maybe Quietdawn was a mentor when she was killed and Goldenstar assigned that apprentice to Breezewhisker after her death so he could be deputy? That could be interesting psychologically too.

Oh I don't think either would really change Goldenstar. Like losing his mate really hit him hard. And especially having to choose a new deputy without enough time to really get over her death would definitely mess with his judgement. But if you want the first one, I'm down!

Ooh okay c: I'm excited to see how it turns out.
Also, I was wondering that come the day we make the join forms one, do you think we could limit the descriptions to the simple, one lined form like the books? It makes it harder to overflow allegiances if we do that. and two, could we possibly ask people to provide a roleplay sample? Even the leaders could supply a sample, for the main reason to be an example towards others? I think including roleplay samples will help us determine if someone is eligible to roleplay on the clans. Because I know for a fact already, since I've roleplayed with them a load before, that Kale, Rain and I definitely exceed the three sentences limit. I just want to make sure, if in the end, that people can simply at least write a paragraph, even though it's not a rule. I like to say three sentences is a minimum but isn't really, idk, looked towards since a lot of us are more advanced, I guess?
if you don't wanna include it that's fine. i just don't want people with funky grammar and not legible. then it'd prove to be a tough time to make something out, yknow?

I agree with the sample thing, as some members could be picking our role-play for the first time. I think we should also encourage leaders to check on previous role-play posts. From experience, I've had someone write a lot and then they only role-play like three sentences max regularly. It also helps to see grammar and spelling issues that are major and not minor.

If you can write some consistently without most of the response being dialogue then sure. And if you're not just repetitively saying:
"She padded towards the freshkill pile, nosing her way through the warm bodies the morning hunting patrol left. Picking up a mouse she doubled back and began walking towards a shaded corner. She padded towards it and sat down, beginning to eat her mouse. After she finished, she washed herself before standing and padding towards the entrance, feeling as if she should hunt as well. Padding outside, she let the wind tousle her fur before she began racing through the territory."
Because something like that, is literally just.... walking. it's annoying because like??? tell us what your character is feeling. don't just tell us where she's walking or going.

My plan for the joining form was kinda what they do a lot in otrp? You'd type up a brief descriptor like in the books, and we'd post that in the allegiances, however you'd be expected to expand below in a short paragraph (mainly for personality rather than appereance reasons, cause it's easier to catch mary-sues/perfect characters if there's more writing). I'm not opposed to having a rp sample, I just know that a lot of people don't have one/haven't rped in a while? So like we could always do the sneaky thing that I do which is stalk a person's post history. But I'm also willing to give people the benefit of the doubt because some people can be very literate, they just tend to match other people's posts, and then some rpers may be new to the forums and don't have a post history? I think if someone isn't meeting post length requirements we can always send them a warning too.

Alright, that all works for me. I just didn't want things to be kind of messy as far as descriptions and roleplaying went cx

Post by lazy penguin on Jan 30, 2019 12:53:43 GMT -5
Ooo also because I just read your new posts! I usually include in the literacy part of the rules that your posts should advance the conversation/rp in someway to avoid posts that literally change nothing! I forgot to add that to my brief descriptor earlier so sorry about that!

Post by mimikyutie on Jan 30, 2019 13:01:59 GMT -5
The history thing is a good idea, also because we can get an idea of their personality.

Wait, I'm confused. What are we doing for the sample?
Also wanted to clarify something because I need to get to work on this part, but how far are we going to canon cats in the legacy part? Are we starting as Bramblestar and then shove non-canon cats for so many generations and then our leader or..? Because what we could do is make the legacy part one post so as leaders pass by, we can sum up what they've done and add them.
I forgot to mention this, but what do we think about adding some "NPC" characters? That way we aren't tearing everyone apart by announcing patrols and everything, we can throw the NPC in there. They can also help with relations if we need a parent and they happen to fit.
As for layouts, am I doing just the coding or the whole thing? Do we want "simple" or "complicated" coding? I was thinking that we could have each Clan in the colors of the map. Like RiverClan, ShadowClan, SkyClan, ThunderClan, and WindClan.

The form will be simple
we do a brief book description, and then under that, we give the characters a longer description with personality, history, etc.
I think, though, only the brief descriptions will be going on the main allegiances. The full descriptions are there so we can make sure a character isn't a complete mary-sue kinda character.
