Morals-based RP? Leader spots filled!

Our prey list (all animals are 100% real):

African savannah hare - Solitary, nocturnal animals, these hares can reach speeds of up to 43 mph, making them impossible to chase. If a cat wants to catch one, they're going to have to use brains over muscles.
Barbary sheep - Also known as arui, these animals are obviously too big for one or two cats to catch alone, not to mention while dealing with their horns. However, a group of cats working together may be able to take one down.
Black-tailed jackrabbit - A favorite among desert predators, the black-tailed jackrabbit makes a good meal- yet it is known to be a frequent host of parasites and disease.
Cactus wren - A very smart and curious bird, cactus wrens live in pairs and viciously defend their territory, making them potentially hard for unskilled hunters to catch.
Cairo spiny mouse - These mice live in groups, residing in burrows and rock crevices. A cat who stumbles upon one of their nests will likely walk away with a great deal of prey. They are nocturnal.
Cape ground squirrel - These animals can be hard to catch, as when threatened they perform an act called mobbing, in which numerous ground squirrels rush at their attacker, tails raised to block the predator's advances.
Greater roadrunner - Capable of reaching speeds of up to 20 mph, it is the fastest flying bird in existence, making it hard to catch without a lot of forethought put into the hunt.
Kangaroo rat - A bipedal animal, kangaroo rats move by jumping with up to six foot strides at up to six mph, and are able to change their direction quickly.
Lesser roadrunner - Very similar to the greater, but smaller and with a shorter bill.

Scarpath That sounds great! I'm making a herb list and a predator list for us to all use along with the prey list.

Dangerous Animals List:

African wild dog - While relatively small in size, they live in packs of 2-27 adults and pups, making them dangerous opponents. A group of wild dogs can easily kill a small group of cats by ganging up on them, and thus are best avoided. Generally, a pack will not attack a cat unless their territory or food is threatened.
Arizona bark scorpion - Although small in size, their sting is extremely painful; the pain is accompanied often with nausea and vomiting. The sting site often becomes extremely numb, causing temporary dysfunction of the limb and convulsions. The venom is not fatal except in kits and elders, and the effects fade after 24-72 hours. Stings are common; if stung, the sting area should be washed clean and the affected cat should rest. They are nocturnal, so stings during the day are fewer than those at night unless a cat accidentally disturbs one.
Horned desert viper - Generally residing around oases or rocky outcrops, the horned desert viper is a relatively placid snake, often fleeing when disturbed. If further threatened, it will strike. The venom is not always fatal, but may be in young or old cats or in extreme situations. Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and severe bleeding. If bit, a cat should consume the bark of the desert date tree to help reduce the effects of the poison, and should rest as symptoms persist.
Gila monster - A large but slow-moving lizard, the gila monster is the sacred animal of DarkClan. If avoided, the creature should cause no problems. However, should a cat either act foolishly or with extremely bad luck, they may be bit. The gila monster has an extremely strong, crushing bite, and it often takes either killing or submerging to creature to free oneself. The monster's venom is not fatal to healthy, adult cats. Rather, blood loss from the severe bite is the more likely cause of a fatality. Symptoms include excruciating pain, edema, and weakness.
Sidewinder - While the sidewinder is the least venomous rattlesnake, their venom is still significant and can be fatal in young or weak cats. Symptoms include pain, swelling around the bite, nausea, dizziness, chills, coagulopathy, and shock.
Deathstalker scorpion - The most venomous scorpion in the world, a bite from a deathstalker will kill even a healthy adult cat. The bite is extraordinarily painful, causing convulsions. Death is achieved following a buildup of fluid in the lungs caused by envenomation. Euthanasia is generally recommended for bite victims to spare them the excruciating death.
Inland taipan - Both the most venomous snake and reptile in the world, a taipan's venom is lethal to all cats, healthy or not. It is fortunately however a shy snake, and will usually run away if confronted. However, if cornered or continuously provoked, it will strike repeatedly with agility and speed. Immediate symptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, collapse, and convulsions. Death occurs within 30-45 minutes. The cause of death is generally: respiratory failure, severe hemorrhaging, or cardiac arrest caused by severe envenomation.

Idk
I don't feel like it's that triggering of a topic. Esepcially if we're only going to describe the kit finding a snake, maybe not knowing it is one and being curious. Then the snake bites and it's like OW. And runs away ofc.
As long as we don't go into detail about what the poison does and just say pain soon filled its body or something, then I think we could post it without a spoiler tag.

However, like I've told a few people, when in doubt, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Putting up a spoiler tag isn't hard.

So then, new rules addition...

15. We do have permission from the forum staff to have kits die, whether it be through snake/scorpion poisoning, in a flash flood, etc. However, we ask that you keep any snake/scorpion bitings/stingings and their effects under a spoiler tag when it deals with kits. Failure to do so will result in you being warned once, then suspended from the roleplay. As with all other deaths, you must have permission from the RP staff before killing your kit. No spontaneous deaths.

Good! Now, onto looking up some facts about deserts we can use...

Sounds good, Cas!

Here you all go:

- Clouds are rarely able to form, and as such the sky is usually clear, allowing the sun to shine for a very long, intense period of time per day.
- Daytime temperatures average 100-104 degrees Fahrenheit but may climb into the 110-113 range on extreme days.
- The sand temperature can easily reach 176 degrees Fahrenheit, making it impossible for unshaded areas to be stepped on.
- During the summer months, temperatures at night typically stand between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter months, temperatures at night can plummet below the freezing point.
- When rain does fall, it does so with great violence. Flash floods can occur as a result of storms many kilometers away, making rain in the desert another living hazard.
- During sandstorms, the particles become electrically charged. This actually can cause headaches and nausea, making them rather unpleasant.

You mean the lists and stuff?

What if the clans operate at night? Everything is done at night?)

Hm, how would it be hard to implement?

Scarpath That's what it's there for; I want everyone to use it.

As for when we roleplay, it'd have to be all at night unless there was a storm, which is rare. I'm thinking that instead of the standard dens, all of the dens are underground and connected by tunnels so that no cat has to go above ground during the day.

My power's been out since 10am, newest update is that it'll be back on at 10pm so I might have some questions to be cleared up once my wifi's back on and I can have more time on the site w/o fears of going over my data
