Hello, and welcome to Gloam’s Name That Cat! Contest! If this looks familiar, then you may have played Wing’s Name That Cat! Contest, which I created for my friend WhispersintheMist way back when. Since these games are my favorite on the forums, I thought that it was high time that I created my own. Now, let’s get started! Please be sure to read the HOW IT WORKS section, as I do things differently from typical name games.
HOW IT WORKS:
This isn’t your average name that apprentice game. I am going to fluctuate between warrior names, Tribe names, early settlers’ names, rogue/kittypet names, and whatever else I can think of. The names might be following a theme or they might not be. I might even branch farther off in my quest of mixing things up and try different variants like providing a kittypet’s name and/or description and asking you to give them a warrior name. Flexibility is the key here. If you have any ideas you want to tell me about, please refer to the QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, AND SUGGESTING THEMES section below. 1. I post rounds.
2. You enter them. 3. I approve them by liking your post. If I don’t approve your name/s for some reason (this will likely be because it’s a canon name or someone else has entered it before you), I’ll quote you and ask if you’d like to change it. I won’t delay closing the round in order for you to answer; you just won’t be entered into that specific name, though your other approved names will be. 4. When three days have passed and five entrants have entered (if three days passed and I have less than five, then I’ll wait until I get the magic number before proceeding), I’ll close the round and judge the entries before posting and tagging the winners. NOTE: The number of days may vary from time to time depending on various factors 5. This is an idea I got from Ivyfalcon ’s Name the Apprentice Game, so the credit goes to her. Each winner will receive one point for every cat they win, and when they win five points they may post and tag me for their prize, a kit. NOTE: If I happen to fall in love with a name, I will add it to the Hall of Fame and never take the name off EVER.
RULES:
1. All forum rules apply. 2. Please be respectful of all other entrants, and me, too! 3. No canon names or names that other people have entered before you are allowed! 4. Only one approved entry per name is allowed (don’t worry; if I didn’t approve any of your names you’ll get a chance to change them!). If you submit more than one entry then I will be forced to accept only one to be fair to the other players. 5. I trust everyone is more mature than this, but please don’t be a bad sport if your names don’t win. Everyone comes up with amazing names, but I can only choose one as the winner. There will be other chances for you.
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, AND SUGGESTING THEMES:
If you have any questions or comments, please PM me with them, as I wouldn’t like to clutter up the thread. Also, if you have any ideas for other prizes, themes or other Name/Describe That ___ variants, please PM them to me. If I choose to feature it in a round, then I will give you a shout-out.

ENTRY BOARD
ROUND 8
Theme: Literally Last Minute Halloween-Vibed Things... You saw the spooky theme! These apprentices were born to sinister cats who now walk the Dark Forest. Some of them were branded with prefixes that reflected the atrocities their parents committed when they were alive, while others are just spooky compared to Twoleg standards. I've added another bonus name in honor of the holiday. If you win that one, you get a spooky cat pic instead of a point!
2. Shadowpaw
3. Twistedpaw

Congratulations to our winners! It was really hard to pick them; everyone's names were so awesome, so great job! Thank you for playing, and please come again! Two policy updates: if you're on my leaderboard but you haven't played for a month, I'll put you back at 0 points and remove you so I don't clutter it up with ex-players. Also, I'm creating an archive where I will post each round's entries and the winners for future reference.

Moss that blankets rock Weasel in small burrow Beetle that shines in sun Sun that scorches forest (Sorry I'm not very good with tribe names ;-; ) You've only entered four out of five names. Would you like to enter the fifth one? (I'm not sure which names you meant for which cats, but I think you skipped the black she-kit)
