Ｉｎｔｏ ｔｈｅ Ｗｉｌｄ

✎ Since we have all leaders (although one said they may co-lead with Pat), we can discuss more things for the four. I like to try to get the ball rolling. I'd also expect to see me on a good majority of the night, if not all night. I was trying to get a single serve of coffee when we realized that it was set for a full pot. So I have to drink that to prevent waste.

So we all kind of agree for a female rogue leader/villain. I like the idea of her having recently kitted. It could contribute to why she's doing this, maybe not because she wants power, but a big enough space for her growing group. At the same time, I see her using this an easy excuse to "weed out" those not loyal to her. She cares for the group, but she also enjoys power, leading to her downfall.

As for my input on the rules:
    ➤ Roleplaying & Ranks
        ➥ I think for continuity plot wise overall, we make up a character to fill a spot if someone leaves and never comes back or just announce them dead. We'd change the name and maybe appearance depending on if it's just a typical "brown tabby" thing. That way we aren't just kinda hopping about and erasing things that help character development. I also think that if they played a major part in the plot, they're announced missing a week after they're gone. Of course that'll match this plot and we can always adjust it when the plot changes.
        ➥ For becoming a warrior, we should have a mandatory two to three training sessions. I feel like they're ignored a lot or done once. I don't think we should be picky about it. Making them do hunting all three, fighting all three, or a mix is fine. It just has to be a training session and can be a group session. I also really want us to bring back the tradition of warriors going to the Moonstone before they become warriors or right after. They usually get a glimpse of their destiny, so yeah. I think it'd be nice and maybe make us slightly different than the others.
        ➥ I love organization. I took the time to organize this post, so I think that obviously shows something. For plots, we should try to discuss a time of when things will happen. Rainy is a member of a SkyClan I'm running and while it wasn't as organized as I wish, we kind of agreed on a date for her queen to kit. How I usually have it is that main plot events take priority save for Gatherings, they come first unless it's a plot event one Clan does not come. To simplify Gatherings > Main plots events > Sub Clan plots > small sub plots (kitting).
        ➥ This will sound harsh, but I think if anyone drops constant hints about wanting to be deputy or has it in their form, they shouldn't get it at all. It's annoying and it feels like they're only there to gain a high position by kissing tush. I also think that if they jump in to play hero and nothing else, they get booted. I've had some bad experiences and that's shaped my rules if no one has noticed.

    ➤ Characters
        ➥ I don't know about anyone else, but I think if we limit the number of queens, we may not be swarmed with them. On WCF, I outright banned them from joining because one member would always join with a queen, then have her or the kits die during kitting. We can also offer heterosexual toms as potential fathers to cut down on fatherless kits. We could also make it to where the two characters need to see if they are compatible before the she-cat announces her pregnancy. If they aren't and one isn't feeling it, then the she-cat needs to be a regular warrior for a bit.
        ➥ The idea of having random kits when there aren't any queens is weird, so I don't think we should allow them unless someone has a good reason to and we have a queen. One idea I like is having open family ties. People can plug in their cats to different families that allow it so it's not like everyone is alone. The only issue is cat incest.

First off, everything that ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 has stated is absolutely correct and I agree with bringing back the tradition of taking warriors to the moonstone. I think it's also wise to limit characters such as the queens, possibly apprentices too.

Furthermore, we could make the limit six at a time. So six apprentices and or six queens.

[ ✎ Six queens may be too much in a four Clan role-play. You take the fifth group and we potentially have thirty queens in total. And apprentices do fill up fast, so maybe ten would be enough. But to compromise, we could have six apprentices, cut it off there, but have ten apprentices spots at all times in cases of kits. So if a litter is close to being apprenticed, we cut off apprentices to save for the kits.

Edit: I think four queens would be suffice. Two would be too limiting. I think permanent queens should be counted separately, actually. They tend to only have three litters and mostly stay to help raise. If we have one permanent queen and then another queen, the spots for the nursery would be filled. I think at one point, the ThunderClan's nursery had four queens. Goldenflower, Brindleface, Frostfur, Speckletail. Speckletail and Frostfur were permanent, so maybe two permanent queens and maybe three or four queens? Not all rushing in at the same time.

I was going to make forms for deceased cats believe it or not, but we'd need to restrict them.]

[ ✎ Edited my post.]

[ ✎ I'm not sure about creating separate pages. They've died on WCF. If anything, I think having them included in the Highstones/Moonstone page would do better.]

[ ✎ Maybe eight "main" cats that are supposed to deliver prophecies and do stuff. I think when cats actually die, they should be able to be used as well for small things.

Edit: What is everyone's opinion about Dark Forest training?]

[ ✎ xD I personally think it should only be for plots. If it helps develop a character to where they do things later on, alright, that's cool. But I don't want half the Clan training just because.]

[ ✎ But if it's similar to how Thistleclaw was or Crookedstar and it did something to develop a cat or cause them to do actions like Tigerstar, I would be fine with it. Having them do war is a mess and I wasn't fond of how that plot ended up.]
