warriorcats.com/content/article/the-revised-codeInteresting how only 13 of the 16 rules are on there. I wonder if they just condensed them up?

This is a draft for The New Code (now I wonder if they will ever make an updated Field Guide for it): 1. Defend all the Clans, even with your life. Your first loyalty is to your Clan, but all cats who follow the warrior code are your allies. Each Clan must ensure that no other Clan falls. 2. Nevertheless, each Clan is proud and independent, with traditions that must always be respected. 3. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the code, or it is necessary for self-defense. 4. Elders, queens, sick or injured cats and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. 5. A Gathering of all five Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. 6. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. 7. A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice. 8. The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires, or is exiled. 9. After the death, retirement, promotion (to a leader status), or exile of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh. 10. Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life. 11. Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name. 12. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet. 13. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats — but a Warrior must always remember that all cats follow the warrior code. Here is a quote from ALitM (and the article) as a way to show how a revised code can still change over time: "The code is like a living thing,” Leafpool chimed. “It changes and grows as it needs to."

I don't like that they've removed the code mandating that deputies must have mentored at least one apprentice. If a cat hasn't successfully trained a single young warrior, then how can they be expected to co-direct the entire Clan? I wonder if this was changed for the convenience of the authors, honestly.
The rest of the rules are fine. If only Hollyleaf were alive to see this, lol.

thank god murder is still legal in cat world how else could we have the code continue to be at least semi-questionable

The fact that they removed the deputy mentorship code just to fix the whole Berrynose mess is kinda funny but oh well. you gotta do what you gotta do!

God I hate the "you can kill a cat who is outside the code" bit, and the "deputy must have an apprentice" rule being gone is odd.
Interesting to see how things'll keep changing, though. I was a bit worried they weren't going to commit to shaking things up.

I am more than alright that the word of the Clan leader is the warrior code rule is gone. Though I am quite surprised that the do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory rule is gone. Hopefully there's not too many fights. And I guess you can now become deputy without mentoring an apprentice first.

Well that rule was broken by Brambleclaw and Berrynose by becoming a deputy with having mentored an apprentice. Loser borders... Hmmm... *Has DOTC flashbacks*

So half-Clan relationships were still mentioned something the Clans need to fix and I don’t see anything about them there. I am wondering if something about this will be added. Especially since the character that brought up leaving everything for a crush (I believe it was Crowfeather) made a really good point that if they’re just allowed without any restraint, a lot of characters, especially young ones will make decisions they regret for relationships that weren’t as binding as they thought. So it will be interesting to see how that’s handled. I’m still hoping for the Clans uniting into one, as the more I read the series the more I realize that it doesn’t make too much sense why they aren’t (even if Dawn of the clans tried to show the consequences of that and give an explanation). But given how the new warrior code is revised, there’s a chance that may not happen.

Well that rule was broken by Brambleclaw and Berrynose by becoming a deputy with having mentored an apprentice. Loser borders... Hmmm... *Has DOTC flashbacks* brambleclaw’s rise to deputyship was at least backed by an omen, so really starclan felt it necessary to bypass that rule for that one incident for some reason. Not saying that it was handled correctly. And berrynose was during Ashfur’s reign so don’t know if that’s be considered as the rule no longer applying. As far as I know the other clans have still upheld the rule(unless there’s another time I’ve forgotten about). I hope they don’t just completely toss the rule to the side, I mean logically wouldn’t make much since to appoint that either is to young and inexperienced that they haven’t had an apprentice, or if they are older and still haven’t trained an apprentice yet, which could be from either just never be chosen, or simply not wishing to have one? Either way comes off as a pretty affirmed display of not desiring to assume a leadership role, or that they simply don’t possess the necessary skills/experience and/or attributes and personality that’s conducive to being a strong, dependable leader. But who knows what will transpire in ASC and what reformations will come to the code, this series is akin to a game of Yahtzee at this point. Editors just roll the dice and see where it lands.

Wait is this how the code ended up by the end of ALIM? Or is this a spoiler for what rules will be modified/taken out in ASC? new article on the website, bit of an odd way to announce this major of a status quo change

Believe it's intended to be the rearrangement they came up with at the end of ALiTM based off of their importance. I would think they wouldn't reveal that major of a spoiler for ASC when it's over 5 months out still. but I may be wrong. Edit: upon fully reading through the article. it appears to be it's the new code how it will most likely be during River I guess, though I'm sure they'll continue to change and reform, create and erase Codes when deemed fit throughout ASC. Personally I'm none to thrilled for any of the changes being made to the code, but I'm probably in the minority.
