Ｉｎｔｏ ｔｈｅ Ｗｉｌｄ

[ ✎ Currently getting that set up, actually. I'm taking in Pat's suggestion, but going more in depth. However, should we determine how many kits are born? I know we will determine kit fatalities and birth defects or mutations, but I'm not sure about restricting them. Also, we need to discuss about who all has power. I brought up earlier Rainy kind of assumed/pointed me as the head of this operation, but I do tend to let the admins decide. However, we may have more than normal. Sand is a co-admin with me and someone told me they were interested in co-running with Pat, but I haven't seen a form yet. So that'll be six admins and can get a little chaotic.]

Hmm... maybe we roll a number between two and five, since that seems to be the average litter size? We could then roll the numbers again and somehow determine if the individual kits die or live. These chances could vary determining the age of the queen, the season, the queen's health, and maybe genetics?


EDIT: Concerning the issue with admins and all that, I don't think any one of us should be in charge of the others. I think we all should have equal say in what's going on, but only the leaders of the Clans should be able to discuss important issues that are relevant to the Clan(s) (such as if a leader is unsure of accepting someone, or we all need to discuss something relating to plot). Also, I had a suggestion for when it comes to someone going against the rules for the first time, but I'm not sure it would work with how Rain, Sand and I usually do things nwn'

[ ✎ I'm just worried about the number right now. I'm working on mutations, disabilities, and defects. I'm not including that in one thing. It's far too much.]

[ ✎ My concern is how many admins there may be and with Sand being a mod. That's why she's co-leading with me. Maybe on top of "topic mods" we can have each admin take turns on deciding on things?]

✎ I think we can go in depth for the dice and coin flip thing. I'll have it all down below in categories like illness, death, and possibly birth defects. I'll do the rest in a bit.

    ➤ Illness

             ✎ Below are the chances for a character to get sick from an outbreak or a seasonal outbreak. For an abnormal outbreak, all cats will be considered and a coin will be flipped for each individual to determine if they catch it or not. For a seasonal outbreak, only half of the Clan will go through this process. From that point, a dice is rolled to determine the severity of illness for each individual. There are six stages. Kit and elders will have two dice rolled as they have double the chance to catch it. The dice and coin will be flipped twice for them. Once the decision is made, it will be role-played out. Admins will have their secondary leader throw the dice or flip the coin to avoid any cheating.

         ➥ The first stage is a cough and slight symptoms. They can be easily cured before the next Gathering.

         ➥ The second stage is mild symptoms where they may take longer than two weeks real time to recover. They also become slightly contagious and are restricted from hunting patrols to prevent the illness spreading via prey.

         ➥ The third stage with full blown whitecough symptoms. Cats are restricted to camp, but may help with small tasks like rebuilding the camp walls.

         ➥ The fourth stage where the cat begins to show signs of greencough. They are restricted from assisting with tasks near the nursery and elders den.

         ➥ The fifth stage where greencough is confirmed. They are confined to the medicine cat's den and must rest. Symptoms are mild to severe.

         ➥ The sixth and final stage where the cat dies from greencough.

    ➤ Wounds

             ✎ Battles can be bloody and take many lives, however they can also be quick, simple, and result to little or no injuries. While any cat can die at any time during a battle, we have decided to make it less likely for death for small battles. Therefore, battles over borders or small strips of territory like Sunningrocks will only go to stage four unless there is a consistent conflict between the two Clans like war. However, battles near the gorge or thunderpath will have a special coin flip to determine if they will meet the terms of a small battle or large battle due to the danger of the location. To prevent a Clan losing more warriors than necessary, the death toll for a Clan will be five in big battles in three in small battles. A small battle patrol must consist of seven cats while a big patrol must consist of eleven.

         ➥ The first stage where the cat only suffers minor scratches. If anything, fur will be ripped out. Ears may be torn as well.

         ➥ The second stage where the cat only suffers a few minor gashes and blood is visible. They do require some medical treatment.

         ➥ The third stage where the cat suffers from larger and worse gashes. They are not at risk of death, but infection can easily set in if not treated quickly.

         ➥ The fourth stage where the cat suffers complete bodily injuries and needs assistance for traveling back to camp. They may risk death by blood loss if they prolong treatment.

         ➥ The fifth stage in which the cat may suffer from a major injury like blinding, broken bones, and other major injuries in addition to major gashes in which blood loss is an issue. They must be immediately sent back to camp or face death.

         ➥ The sixth stage in which the wounds are far too much and the cat dies. They do not have to suffer a broken bone or a wound similar, but they have either not made it in time for treatment, lost too much blood, or suffered a severe blow on the scene of the battle.

    ➤ Litter Size

             ✎ In the case of a real matter, she-cats normally can birth up to nine kittens. However, we will keep to the average, so the maximum amount of kits a queen can have is six. Genders and descriptions will be up to owners of the parents, but the size will be determined here. A mutation, defect, and mortality generator will also be used on the litter. However, this will be specified in those sections. There is truly no need in thoroughly explaining as it is pretty self-explanatory. The admin will flip a coin and if the coin lands on heads, the litter will be bigger than three. If the coin lands on tails, the litter will be smaller. The admin will then throw a dice to determine how many. Keep in mind that if the coin hit tails, the number can not be higher than three and if the coin landed on heads, the litter can not be bigger than six. The owners of the parents reserve the right to have one kit if they wish, but if they want more than one, they will need to go through this process. The maximum litters a she-cat can have is three.

    ➤ Birth Mutations

             ✎ While it may not seem as realistic, this section is for mutations that are nonlethal and are only for cosmetics. They will not have blind eyes or a twisted paw. This section is for tings like heterochromia, tufted ears, and so on. Members may join with any mutations they'd like if the admin allows it, as some mutations are more common than others. Each kit in a litter will have a coin tossed to determine if they receive a mutation or not. Heads means they will while tails means they will not. Then the kit will have a number dice rolled to determine the rarity of the mutation. To keep this simple, we will have six main mutations. You may join with other mutations, but there are far too many and the process of dealing with litter size, mutations, and birth defects may take a while already. The parents may turn down a mutation if they want and do not need to have one.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a one, they will receive tufted ears.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a two, they will receive folded ears.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a three, they will have heterochromia, meaning two different eye colors.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a four, they will be a polydactyl.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a five, they will have a bobbed tail.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a six, they will not have a tail at all.

    ➤ Birth Defects and Death

             ✎ While this has been researched,the many defects a kitten can face are quite serious and would be hard for someone to role-pay. The idea of the defects is to bring a sense of realism as not every cat would be 100% healthy. Given that, the majority of these defects will be nonlethal while the others are lethal. How this will happen is that a coin will be tossed for every kit in the litter. If it is heads, they will not receive a defect. If it is tails they will.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a one, they will receive tufted ears.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a two, they will receive folded ears.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a three, they will have heterochromia, meaning two different eye colors.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a four, they will be a polydactyl.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a five, they will have a bobbed tail.

         ➥ If the kit rolls a six, they will not have a tail at all.

[ ✎ I may have burned myself out for tonight, oops.]

✎ Alright, three people are cool with it. Should it be just admins or have mods included? Only thing is, we'd probably have a mod for each Clan two to three months from now.

[ ✎ What if two-ish months from now, we all have a head mod for our Clans and then they have their own chat? It'd be the most active of them and that way they can bond with the others as well as us in the case they need to step up? Obviously this will be the discussion page, but it'll be open for members wanting to discuss side plots and their part in a plot.]

[ ✎ Also, I wanted to say this when you could see it, Pat, but you'll definitely see it on the page, so.. Happy birthday! ]

[ ✎ I'll be on soon! I've been busy because my sister's wedding is coming up and because of school.]
