It really shouldn't. We held a vote about the leader thing, which was a lot more of an issue. I don't see why we have to change to accommodate WindClan. |

It's not just up to you though, it's up to all of us.

I'm not saying it's just up to me. I'm just annoyed because we're changing it because it happens to be close to swift? Swift doesn't even show up as a synonym for agile. |

im fine with using either agile or balanced, though i think, with the differing opinions, a vote would be beneficial
then again, whatever one we use won't necessarily make or break the rp - it's just one word for an attribute that won't affect how the clan is portrayed in the long run ^^;

I’m not sure a vote is needed for this?
It seems like a bit of a smaller issue than the name thing
I’m fine with whatever, but I do see the benefit of sticking to the original for Sky too if we’re doing that for all the others?
Like, I’m fine if y’all wanna change it, but I’m also chill with sticking to agile as well

I'll put my opinion in then and my girlfriend's. She's real, she just lives far away, I promise. I'll give you proof even. She chose agile over balanced. I also think agile fits better for three reasons: 1.) it's the original version for the clan and 2.) it looks better design wise on the thread, and 3.) my girlfriend's always right.
But in all seriousness, I think we should put it on the back burner now since we can't seem to come to any decision and it seems that you're all going to butt heads over it. Which is unnecessary.
Snooze; in the meantime, perhaps you could choose alternate words for balance and agile? When you find something, post your list of words. Rain, if you'd like to choose alternate words too, you're free to do that.
If you don't like anything, then we can return to the topic and discuss it how to handle this. You've made your points clear. Let's not run in circles, and keep things rolling!

Just caught up. I have no opinion over the use of words but if I don't agree with Sand's gf she'll ban me.
I am still working on predator prey lists, so fear not I havent forgotten. But theyre all on my computer and I kept getting distracted by cute animal pics on google. So forgive me, its taking longer than it should, lol.

Right!
On that note, I suggested this to Sand back when I first started helping out
But what about a plot page where we list all the subplots going on on the front page so people can know what’s going on, and then we can discuss plots and ideas on that thread as well?
So like, the front page would be for keeping the plots listed and organized (potentially with a post for each clan’s individual subplots and another post for plots that involve more than one clan?)
Then the rest of the thread can be used to talk about plots and ideas and stuff like that as they come???

So I’m drawing right now so I’m kinda on and off
But I think that would depend on how much we want on the front page for the individual clans?
Personally, I don’t like the front pages of rps to be super cluttered, but maybe if a really big plot comes up later, that can be put on the rp front pages and the subplots and smaller stuff could be reserved for the plot page?
That’s how I’d organize it at least, but if you guys think there’s a better way, I’m all ears!

I think Blaze posted a tentative organization of the thread way back. I’ll see if I can find it.
Also— we have the legacies left as well. Plus I feel like I forgot something.

Maybe each clan has a separate post on a thread, to keep it a little more organized. And as long as previous sideplots are taken off when concluded, it shouldn't look too cluttered.

that would be nice c:
oh! and season and weather; i feel like that should just be one thing. the five clans all shouldn't have different seasons or weather going on. like rainy in river but sunny in shadow.
would a tentative clan page format be like something like this?
- welcome/intro
- maybe rules? * unless that is on the joining pages since everyone will have the same
- about
- territory/camp
- member track
- relationships
- mentors/apprentices
- allegiances
i think we were looking for territory descriptions? For a tentative, yes that works. We can condense some things to a single post to save room.
I can check my guide, but I think it's the same as on the wiki? Okay, the wiki lacks character. I can type up what the guide has for territory if Blaze doesn't want to? that would be nice c:

i think we were looking for territory descriptions? Thought about the season and weather thing for a second here. I was thinking we could do a thread or like a post on the clan pgs that include season and weather? If we did a thread for like all 5 clans, the idea I had was the following: - welcome - season & weather - hierarchies (each clan's leaders, deputies, medicine cats) - plot??? (if necessary) - something else that's important? Also, I like that as a tentative pg format. but yes if I remember correctly, we were looking for territory descriptions. |

Legacy thing — I think we chose the first option but we can choose again? Another thing we mentioned was something called legacies. Since the history of the Clans is well-known, there is no point in posting it on the page unless we want aesthetic. Now, legacies give important details of the past leaders. For any canon role-play I do, I shorten it to about four or five. I very rarely include any other canon leaders besides the founders. There are too many leaders and I believe the Erins have stated that there are leaders we don't even know about. Not to mention that it's a hassle to make a list and one leader only being known to lead during a certain time.
With that said, non-canon leaders are a nice route to take and as previously stated, can have some nice little details to be role-played. Before we start on that, I do want to point out that the Clans are always changing and always interacting, so we can't have errors and inconsistencies. I recommend only a very small handful of people, three at the max, to work on it to prevent errors.
Since we like to list, we can take note from how Secrets of the Clans gives us information about the leaders. How we write them depends on how we want to organize it. Do we want to have the leader and then list the accomplishments they have done in addition to their deputy's deeds (or their deputies' deeds) and their medicine cat's deeds? Or do we want to have the leader stand out and list their accomplishments, then have their significant deputies and medicine cats under the leader with their own little section? I have some examples below in a spoiler and I also posted the history from the site if we want to use it. The draft samples are from a role-play I'm currently working on in my drafts.
robinstar
● a dark brown-and-cream tabby she-cat with blue eyes
● first leader of foxclan, she was appointed by popular vote
● ambitious and loyal, she was determined to make foxclan appear strong
● she was aggressive, but had good intentions, in her efforts
● she often clashed with the other leaders, as they felt she was disrupting the peace hollystorm, fox, and gorse made for them
● despite being the youngest leader, she was the first to lose her first life and her ninth
notable deputies: plumcloud, rushingcreek (later rushingstar)
notable medicine cats: tansyheart
leaders of the other clans: echostar of hollyclan & shrewstar of gorseclan

rushingcreek
● a silver tabby she-cat with blue eyes
● first known deputy of foxclan
● noted to be a smooth talker and a strategist
● did her best to keep robinstar from taking territory from the other clans
● later succeeded robinstar and became known as rushingstar
tansyheart
● a pale golden tabby she-cat with green eyes
● first medicine cat of foxclan
● argued with the other medicine cats over a potential code forbidding medicine cats to have a mate and kits
● greatly admired gorse but was cold to songbird and shrewstar over the fact her placement in foxclan
● adored kits and was quite a flirt to the warriors, she used this to keep whiny patients calm while she worked
notable deputies: rushingcreek (later rushingstar)

I think subplots should be switched to the role-play threads and the main plot on a plot page. It's easier to keep track that way in my opinion.
For legacies, I recommend writing about the founder, then skipping four leaders ahead of our current leaders. We'll need to fill in the successor later when the Clans are assigned. Legacies should be consistent with each other, so maybe a handful of people come with with some events, make a draft, and come back? Or we can assign a Clan to someone and discuss the events, then check over.
I had something I was going to suggest: chance charts. Granted some we're using and some we're not, I can post the information and explain if someone is confused. I'm also a little mekajdhfjksdf right now. |

I remember it being mentioned that chance charts were gonna be used for litters, but idr if they were for anything else? I don't think they were but I might be wrong.

Sand out here doing the work of gods,
I think the layout is good, with separate pages for different things like plot, welcome, etc. So would we have a seperate thread for the allegiances of the clans?
Also fine with going with the option everyone chose, would we do canon or non-canon?
also random but i just spent like 15 minutes looking for a cheek piercing ball and now I'm all frazzled. I think I swallowed it in my sleep which is not good. Please forgive if i seem jumbled up ahah The search bar was good to me for once.I personally think we could put the allegiances on the main page maybe? I think it may depend on how we divide the posts up for the allegiances or if it all goes together in one post. Or we could do separate thread to keep it clean. I agree with Rain on the legacy thing. Founder and then 4 non-canon leaders + their deputies and medicine cats. Then we’d add the current ones once I make the decision. I have no clue what that is, but I really hope you didn’t swallow it ;a; |
