Morals-based RP? Leader spots filled!

Jas Awesome. I'm thinking that DarkClan's territory should probably be pretty barren, since they want to make life as hard as they can to reinforce the whole "survival of the fittest" philosophy they live by. I'm picturing it with a bunch of cacti, a lot of tall sand dunes, and a jagged peak that makes access to the oasis difficult.

Scarpath That sounds like a good idea.

Ahh I love that! That's perfect!

One thing, though- I feel like, with the third part, if the kit shows hesitation before helping the cat to the oasis or ignoring them, it shows aptitude for SunClan, just because they'd probably debate with themselves over whether or not it would benefit the state to help the cat. If they show very little or no hesitation in either helping or leaving the cat, it shows aptitude for SolaceClan/DarkClan.

Other than that, it's absolutely perfect ^.^

Scarpath яєɗ I could see the spring being a good idea; it could dry out rather frequently, which could lead to fights over where the border should be. When it does rain, the spring could flood and cause horrendous problems.

Jas No animal probably, since they're atheists. And yeah, you can join all four Clans. What's nice is that all of us will be RP Admins, so we can influence things in every Clan, not just our own (obviously for major things all of us have to agree on it, but as an admin you can still discipline and accept applications and such)

And for extra stuff, we'd need to have everything you mentioned, plus a section outlining the morals of that particular Clan, and maybe some other stuff I'm currently blanking on.

A potential rule set we could use:

1. Follow all the forum rules. This includes not harassing users based on anything, whether it be in-RP decisions, likes/dislikes, habits, culture, race, age, gender, sexuality, background, etc. If you break a forum rule, you will be warned depending on the severity and always reported.
2. If a user breaks either a forum rule or one of our rules, do NOT respond to them or quote them in any way. You could very well get us deleted. Also, do NOT try and discipline them. You'll only end up angering the rulebreaker and starting a fight. Let the RP staff handle it.
3. Do not challenge the decisions of the RP staff. We are the ones who worked hours on end to make this roleplay; our moderators were chosen based on obvious signs of maturity and responsibility. Obviously, if a decision breaks a rule, let another staff member know, but otherwise don't throw a fit. If we suspend you, learn your lesson and deal with it. If we say a flash flood is going to happen, don't be all like "what the hell man I was doing something". We're not going to take the time to ask every single person if they're cool with a natural disaster. Does Mother Nature ask you permission before making a tornado? No. So don't expect that from us. We WILL warn you, but we will NOT ask for your permission.
4. No god-modding, power-playing, spot-lighting, or meta-gaming. You will be warned twice for this, then suspended from the RP. If you don't know what these terms mean, please ask.
5. You, as a regular member, do NOT have the ability to summon natural disasters, predators, prophecies, and other major events whenever the heck you want. You cannot just say "Redtail suddenly saw a flash flood!". No. Absolutely not. If you want something like that to happen, ask an RP staff member permission first. No random fights with gila monsters or enemy Clan cats. No random sandstorms or monsoons. No random prophecies or omens.
6. You must make at least two roleplay posts here every three days to remain on the "active" list. If you fail to do this without giving us a reasonable excuse beforehand, you will be put on the "inactive" list. If you don't return within 72 hours, you will be removed for inactivity. Your characters will be stored for one week. If you don't return by then, you'll have to start all over again. If we have to remove you for inactivity three times, we reserve the right to refuse you the fourth. We are VERY strict about activity; understand that we need to be in order for these Clans to be healthy. And no, "I was busy" or "I didn't feel like it" are not acceptable excuses for not showing to claim your cats for over a week. If either of those are the case, then please do everyone a favor and pull out of the roleplay.
7. If a battle is happening, your cat is not invincible. We personally recommend using a random number generator to determine your cat's success; if you get an even, your cat dodges successfully. If you get an odd, your cat is injured. During a fight, your cat should NOT dodge more than three times without taking a hit. We will suspend people for this if necessary. Also, your cat may not kill or cripple another's without that cat's owner's permission and the approval of an RP staff member.
8. This is a desert roleplay. As such, we ask that all character names be desert-related. Desert cats do not know what oaks, thrushes, and minnows are. If you're unsure, either ask or look it up. Also, please respect the desert environment when roleplaying. It's hot. It's dry. It's sandy. There's not a lot of water or shade. Remember that.
9. Respect the morals of the Clan your cat is in. If your cat is in DarkClan, don't have them constantly going around protesting the selfish, arrogant ways of their cats. If they're in SolaceClan, don't constantly have them going around ignoring cats in need and being selfish, and so on. If your cat is in a Clan whose morals promote intelligence above all else, act like it. If your cat's Clan promotes the state above all else, act like it. If the staff want a cat who truly despises their Clan's ways, we'll approve someone to make such a character. Otherwise, don't do it. You can make a deep, well-rounded cat while still staying true to your Clan's morals.
10. Respect the universal RP time. It can't be night in one Clan and dawn in another, just as it can't be one month in one Clan and a different month in another. Don't try and change the time as a regular member; you'll simply be ignored and possibly suspended.
11. You may have as many characters as you want. However, you must use them ALL. Just because one cat has a more interesting storyline than the others doesn't mean you can use them and not the others. If we see you're not using a character, we'll warn you once, and then delete said character. Also, for every tom you make you must make a she-cat, just to keep the gender ratio as even as possible.
12. We allow "will ___ come back to ___" posts, but other than that do NOT advertise anything in this RP.
13. Your cat may NOT challenge the decision of the Choosers. If we want such a rebellious act to occur, we will give someone permission to do so. Otherwise, don't do it. It creates unnecessary problems and disrupts the storyline.

Thoughts on this?

omg rule #3 is great aha
I agree with all of the Rules.

That's understandable, then. Okay. If I think of any rules I'll run it by you

I don't know if I'm crazy about that idea. What if they're mute and communicate through signals?

Of course if everyone else likes different language I'll go along with it, just personally I'm not crazy about it

Another addition to the rules:

14. If you are a Forum Moderator, you do not automatically have the ability to control this RP by creating prophecies, making natural disasters, breaking RP rules, etc. No where in the rules does it say that Forum Moderators have control over the events in-RP of the RP they join. If any abuse occurs, we will notify ToMo and Roswell.
