Yep you may call me Tori ^^ Now that it sounds like we got all of the plots together (unless I am wrong) is there anything else we need to do? My mind is blanking on me.

Puun, you didn't HAVE to join WindClan! cx but I'm glad to have you!
I very much like Cloudyshade's name, but Tardrip may require a tiny name change... since I'm not sure the Clan cats would know what tar is! I could offer some assistance if you like c:

Okay so we've got rules, plots, subplots, and... uh? we kind of already have territories + history since it's the Forest. Intros? Or are the leaders taking care of that? The about section (if y'all even want that), extras, etc.

Your statement Fea just made me think about something. It is true that we know the other clans' forest territories, but not much is said about Skyclan's old forest home. So they are basically a blank state. We should try coming up with landmarks for them. We already know that they should be bordering Thunderclan and possibly Riverclan.

I think SkyClan should have just as many landmarks as Thunder, if not one or two less? It would make sense, especially since they're so similar o3o

[ x - - Just going to keep track of cats I want to use here~
Shadowclan
Eveningstar - A mischievous, sly tom who most likely became a leader for his quick thinking and clever tactics. As an apprentice he got into a lot of trouble for his pranks he would play and for the adventures he went on that almost got him killed. To think a trouble-making apprentice could shape up to one day become leader. At least he has his brother to be by his side to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.
Smokeyhorizon/Smokeyhaze - A rather quiet, more reserved tom who is pretty much the world's grumpiest grump. He gets rather annoyed when around more boisterous, lively folk or cats who are arrogant and snobbish or... well let's just say he's not much of a "people's person". Tends to get snappy when annoyed. Does have a slightly softer side for his brother Eveningstar, even though it may not look at it all seeing he gets crabby with him a lot. He cares about him, a lot in fact. Another note, he's severely colorblind and can pretty much only shades of black and gray. Usually stays away from direct sunlight as it hurts his eyes. Can change the colorblind stuff if it seems unrealistic.
Thunderclan
Galestorm/Swiftfalcon/Other name - Charismatic tom whom seems to flirt with every she-cat, but really he just holds a high respect for she-cats. He is actually quite the slacker, always trying to find a way to get out of doing things he's just not really up to doing. Possibly, undecided yet, might add a deeper meaning to why he's that way. Also the tom that will eventually win over Cragstar's heart. At first he is merely an admirer of hers, especially since she's a leader and all and eventually starts to fall for her. Starts to tease around a little more with her despite the fact she's clearly showing no interest. Even though he's more apathetic he actually surprise himself with being do determined and dedicated to show her he really cares.
Other cats I might want to use (no Clan yet)
Featherpaw(-sneeze) - Really hyper-active she-cat with the personality of a kit, really bubbly and optimistic, not really the sharpest tool in the shed however, has a rather sensitive nose so she tends to sneeze a lot and may also pass out if exposed to very strong smells, also loves to cuddle
Petunianose - A more calm, gentle and caring she-cat with a shy personality, most believe she is mute because she has never spoken, what no one knows is that she has been through a very traumatic event and pretty much took a vow of silence (oh goodness I'd really love a romance plot where someone eventually helps her overcome her shyness and I can imagine this really climatic point where her lover is in trouble and she shouts out for them, speaking for the first time in ever and yada yada ya)
Tumblingpaw(-suffix to be figured out) - Extremely shy tom who has issues with social interactions, probably suffers from anxiety, not really self-confident, is pretty much only comfortable with being around his sister Featherpaw, probably one of the only few people who really understands her and vice versa

Oh, I absolutely love Eveningstar's name! May I make a suggestion for Tumblingpaw's warrior suffix? Does Tumblingfox tickle your fancy at all? :3

The about section (if y'all even want that), extras, etc. We don't really have rules. I'd like to make a new set and have what we think we'll need. I want to be very thorough with some things. Hold on, I have a better and more recent set we can edit. I think instead of using the wiki, we can use one of the books for our information. I think it's Secrets of the Clans? Of course, we'll either have to put a disclaimer that this is in the forest and way before Cloudstar or replace the Clan cats with our own. I don't know. xD I may be poofy, by the way.

Guys.. Can we figure out cats at a later time? Deputies, key characters, leaders, and medicine cats are fine, but I'd rather get the rules done before we do anything with our characters.

Rules
In General
Well, we all know forum and ghost rules still apply here, so that is that. Mainly, this rule is a quick rundown of things and some will be expanded upon more in other rules. Just a warning, it is a long list so be prepared to read all of this if you want to join this role-play. I did not type this all out for people to ignore what I say and just do what they want. It is my role-play, I created it, you must abide by my rules or join something else. Stealing is a big no-no. Do not steal or take too much inspiration from this. Ask me if you want to use an idea I cam up with, coding, graphic ideas, or anything from this page.
Activity
There are plenty of rules people dread. Activity and literacy are the ones that come to mind of those people hate most. Oh well, to me, they are indeed necessary. We will get to literacy later, right now, we will focus on activity! Being active and committed are two important key factors to a role-play’s success. There is a difference between the two and they obviously work best together. Before you join my role-play, ask yourself if you may be active enough and if you can commit. Now, I will not be angry if later down the road you leave the role-play or something big happens. However, if you are contemplating whether or not you will leave the forums, sorry, but I kindly ask you not join. Sure, you can be active on here, but if you are not aiming to stay and possibly climb up the ranks of the moderator hierarchy, then once again, this is not for you. I do understand that to create a long-lasting role-play happens, but setting up the roadblocks to potentially make it does a lot. Now to get onto the stuff we all know and love: activity requirements. For those who are trusted members and above, you will need to be on five days of the week. If you are not on for three days, I will have a warning mark and like your post to bring you back. The fourth day you are gone, I will simply delete you. Regular members and new members, you have four days that you need to be on each week. You will follow the same as the trusted members and higher with four days, and then five. To be considered “active,” you must actually role-play and not just chat.
Role-play & Literacy
The whole advanced role-play thing is quite debatable, but with my past role-plays, I have introduced a new way to be “advanced” but to where you can relax a little bit. I only ask that you try to have proper grammar, correct spelling, and decent detail. Effort counts and I can see when it is put in. There is also a debate with detail. If you can paint a scene to where I can see it in my head, you have done a good job. However, this is not Lord of the Rings and I do not need to know the exact details of a tree’s bark or the backstory of every thought your character has. When it gets to that, it would be considered “fluff.” With that side of the debate, I agree it is pretty useless. So, please be descriptive, but not to where I have to read ten paragraphs to get the point of your response or starter. Obviously, this a two Clan role-play. Due to it being on the same page, I kindly ask that you head your posts. At the top, have the name of your character, the Clan they belong in and the landmark they are closest to. Please also include the time of day. This is to prevent any confusion. An example is on the joining page.
Role-playing & Realism
A pet peeve of mine is seeing impossible things happen when there can be no real reason for them to happen other than favoritism in the books or just because you want to look cool. So please refrain from having your cat fight and kill a badger on their own or having cats smile or cry because it is quite unrealistic and makes my eye twitch. Cats can not have powers, they can not fight a pack of dogs without getting injured or by themselves. In the Warriors universe, there are certain things that can and can not happen, so please abide by those rules and my rules. Now, general role-play rules play along with realism. It is too coincidental when your character gets all of the spotlight, so please do not do that. There will be moments when your character’s plot or spot in the limelight will take front and center. God-modding and meta-gaming are a no go for me, so do not even think about it. Please keep in mind that cats do die. I'm not asking for you to slaughter them all, but if we have a greencough outbreak, not everyone is bound to survive it. At the same time, please do not go on a killing spree with your cats.
Role-playing & Plots
With each side plot comes a designated date they can happen depending on who is involved. I will have a calendar for when certain plot points and events will happen and they will be posted in the news section. All side plots need to be approved by me or a head moderator. This includes fox attacks on the camp or a badger attack. Kitting needs to be set on a certain date so no one can interfere with that. Keep in mind that there is a system of what takes priority for plots. Main plot events will be priority over everything. Side plots that were decided on a week in advance will follow, then small plots that do not need to be approved. Please ask me before doing if you are not sure if a certain plot would need approval. I will not be angry. I apologize to kit-stealers, but due to this being the original five Clans, I will not allow outside kit-stealing. It probably will happen at some point in this role-play, but between the two Clans. As for warrior ceremonies, I will accept name requests, but I and the current leaders will give them their name. This is to stimulate the books a little, however I may name them the name you ask for.
Role-playing Rank & Continuity Changes
If you were to break the rules and lose your position, we will come up with a reason for your character to step down or something like so. This is not to humiliate you, but to keep the role-play from "jumping" and to keep it smooth. If you were deleted and rejoined, we will simply say that your cats were sick. If you are deleted for the third time, we will announce your cats dead under different names. If you do not like this, well, it will most likely be names of other characters I own. Just because you did not follow my rules does not mean my role-play needs to be messed up with continuity issues.
Characters & Joining
Before you rattle off a bunch of cats that you are joining with, keep reading to learn of the restrictions. Some names will not be accepted. Mostly due to it not making the most sense in my role-play or in the Warriors universe altogether. Make sure you have back-up names in case I ask for that name to be changed. Also check the prefix list. I will not accept any cats with the prefixes on any list, as they are already used or will be used fairly soon. As for pelt colors, keep it realistic. You do not have to be exact with genetics, but two gray cats can not produce a ginger cat. Also be aware of what is most common in what Clan. I will allow some "oddball" cats who would not be common in the Clan, but I will not accept a bunch of them. Mutations are alright to have, but I will only allow a handful. This is ranted about more in the Characteristics section of the page. Know that if you join with an apprentice, you must create a warrior. I would prefer more warriors over apprentices, as there is no set limit unlike apprentices. I will not allow orphan kits, either. I am alright with a permanent queen, but their kits must be apprentice aged or older unless you have found a mate for your cat. I may allow pregnant queens, but here is the deal. That cat will not be considered pregnant unless you found someone who is willing to be the father and the two are compatible or at least interesting. If you both agree on it, I will put that the two are mates and you may have your cat find out she is pregnant. You have a week to do this and if someone says no, it means no. You can not pressure someone or constantly mention it to the point it is annoying. For those who are anti-gay and so on, I ask you kindly not to join. I will be accepting characters who do not have a preference for the opposite gender and so on. The character limit for joining at the moment is eight characters per person. You can split these characters up however you want. Each person gets four prefix saves. Also keep genders somewhat even.
Ranks
So, want to be deputy? Well, you have to be chosen by me to get it. Please, please do not apply to be deputy or annoy me and others with hints in your posts. I am alright with it if it is a kit, apprentice, or a warrior who is too young to be one. Deputy is a rank in the Clan that is to be earned. I may and probably will take a while on deciding my first deputy. Medicine cats are different. If there is a position for medicine cat open, then you may take it, but you do need to follow the rules for trusted members and higher. Same with deputy, really. Medicine cat apprentices will not be allowed at first, as I want them to be role-played into getting the rank. Trusted members will be chosen by me, as well as mods. They will be people who have been on the most and I feel like I can trust. They also have the first dibs on possibly recreating this role-play if something were to happen. Mentors are a privilege. While everyone should get an apprentice sooner or later, I will not hesitate to take that away.
Courtesy & Advertising
In general, be courteous and respectful to everyone. Keep opinions that can cause wars to yourselves. If you have an issue with someone, take it somewhere else and please for the love of all that is good keep this role-play out of your posts! I do not want negativity linked with this role-play or role-plays somehow linked to this. I expect everyone to be polite and have manners on my role-play, so if you go somewhere else and name this role-play because you have an issue with another member stealing your lollipop, I will not be happy. So refrain from that. If you have noticed, I have a few role-plays I personally have selected to feature on my Clan. I went to the owners of these role-plays and asked if I may link them myself. This is not exactly advertising, as I am offering other role-plays similar to this in at least the advanced level in case people do not like how I have set this one up. These Clans are Clans I personally find interesting but know I myself do not have the time to join. These people are wonderful people with creative minds. However, because I feature these Clans, some may assume I will be alright with someone posting on my page asking me to link their role-play. This is not what it is for. I will not take random Clans and add them to a list. Members, same with you. You can mention it and maybe discuss it a little as long as it does not take front and center. I may ask you but please do not ask me. Asking me seems like begging and I would much rather come to you and you feel all great for someone asking to feature your role-play over begging someone to feature your role-play.
Consequences
This role-play has two systems that determine whether or not you are deleted. One is a universal system and the other is an extra precaution for mods and higher so they do their job. The universal system is called the Star System. It's quite easy. When you receive a star, it means you have done something that has broken my rules. The first star comes with a verbal warning. The second star allows me to delay side plots and take away apprentices. The third star cancels any side plots you have until you have gone back to the second star. Unfortunately, that could have an impact on another person, so I really advise that you not get there. The fourth star takes you out of any plots and if you are in a high position, you are demoted. Meaning if you are deputy, you are a warrior. If you are a mod, you are down to a trusted member. The fifth and final star means you will be deleted in two days if you do not shape up. Depending on the severity of your actions, like you fighting with someone and getting the page deleted, it may have you skip a star or two. You do have a chance to go back down the system after a week's time if you improve. The second system is a strike system. If any negative actions occur and a mod does not reprimand the person at fault, then they receive a strike for not doing their duty. Three strikes equal a star, so be cautious. [So this is a more recent version of rules. We can add and change what we like.]

I did edit one thing about the rules. They were for a two Clan role-play I was creating, but they can be changed to fit the five, obviously.
It's alright, Falle. I think you took a hiatus/left when we kind of enforced that on the pages.
