Plot/site basis/rule discussion

[Waffu-Waffu]

I figured that while there's not much going on here outside of coding, we'd get the definite plot/site basis/rules and all that other crap straight.

Rules

1. Basics, such as 'be nice, follow the format, take only as many characcters as you can handle posting for and so on'
2. Consequences, such as getting banned from the site/cbox, warnings, and so on.
3. Monthy/Bi-monthly or weekly mandatory posting.

Site set up ideas:

Set up ideas will go here.

Alright. SML thinks that for the site basis, we should widen our spectrum of species to at least dogs and maybe humans (since we all seem to enjoy it so much). Doing only one species gets rather boring after a while, and personally, I know I was into Off topic board way more then the actual site(which we should bring to this site as well). Maybe if we can bounce from one species to another, it will promote activity.

SML (should stop talking in third person) also thinks that we should decide a specific time frame. I don't think we should make the basis steampunk, though. (if you want that, for the love of god, join my DA site ;u;).

We also need to decide on how much of a fantasy element we want this to be (if any, though I think we agreed that we wanted a little more freedom). Do we want cats that are firebenders, or just mental powers, like psychokinesis? Or maybe not even that much? Also, maybe we should put something like demons or ghosts, or at least a more monsterous element. Having the characters only afraid of badgers and foxes (as realistic as it is) gets a little repetitive and rather boring after the first three times, and it'll allow for another 'species' and possibly an 'underworld' area to rp in. It also will allow for a wider variety of plots and characters.

For rules, we've already decided we want a mandatory monthly or bi monthly post (or a weekly short post). What else though?

For boards, as I said earlier, I'd like an off topic board. Hopefully, if we allow humans, it won't be needed as much, but its always fun to have the option to do a sexy cute little hetalia RP. Now, I'm not sure if PB allows a 'Mature audience' board for things that get too idealogically sensitive (like the German Sparkle Party thread), but maybe we should put one just in case? Just a suggestion.

Also, I liked the 'Of the month' thing on the header. It gave me something to look forward to when we voted :33

Lastly, I like the side boards and the centered and small main board on the other side. It made things a little more attractive, in my opinion at least.

Once we decide the basis, we can suggest plot ideas.

*Too lazy to code*
*Insert This gif here*
Blizzy gusta.
I say for powers its simple things like RC cats have gills, SC can become shadows, WC can run like wind and TC can do thunder things because I can't think of anything and I don't even like that Clan.

[Waffu-Waffu]

Oh yeah, and what do you think of using clans outside of just the original four to six in the book(if you count sky and blood)? Should we make up different ones? Or maybe we can make one large clan with one leader, and a bunch of 'deputies' to head different sections of the clan? I think a different orientation would be nice...

For mature content, if you watch what you say, and how descriptive you are, you can get away with it. (;

I would love, love, love to have humans here, but you would have to be organized with it. You would need to keep up with face claims and such for them, and since this is really a warrior cat rpg, maybe limit them to just a certain number per member, or you can only get them (or some other special type of character) as a reward?

As for powers, I'm all for it, as long as it's nothing completely out there, lol.

Demons <3 Love them. I actually have a few characters that are possessed, like Demonpaw, but I tend to play him as just mentally insane when sites don't allow possession. I would, however, adore the chance to play him as possessed again.

Already stated my opinion about the posting situation.

I say we keep to the four original clans. Don't want to make it too far away from warriors, ya know.

Of the months make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Sky could have wings? Or like skin flap things like flying squirrels xD And Blood... All I can think is the power of reanimation for a short period of time. Like vampires or something. It could make decent plots too, like cats reviving loved ones or something but can only do it once cause when the body is finished being alive for a little bit it turns into dust. Yeah.

Now since we are moving into a more fantasy RPG, are we going to be less strict on names too? Like allowing Angel-, Demon-, Fairy-, Dragon-, Supersexyninja-, Etc? I've been strict with traditional Warrior names as of late but that's just me.

[~XxSnakethxX~]

I think that everyone's ideas are perfect. Now if we just push them all together to make one giant idea, then we'd have the plot. I love demons by the way.

[Deleted]

I don't think we should go as far as to allow them to have wings. HOWEVER! Maybe for the dead cats, they could have wings? Like, the StarClan cats can have angel wings and the evil dead cats can have more like bat type wings? c:

[Waffu-Waffu]

I like the RC cats having gills. Maybe we could allow some sort of scale/fin/webbed feet thing too, since they have gills? Kind of like mermaids, without the tail. I do love strange half breed looking creatures.

Maybe Windclan/Skyclan cats can have hollow bones and therefore are lighter and quicker? Maybe even feathers to an extent so that they can 'glide' (at least for Skyclan. Is that too cheesy?) Wings seem like an obvious choice for Sky...

Shadowclan maybe can have some sort of stealth thing? They maybe have some sort of Cheshire cat disappearing and reappearing act? That's the first thing that comes to mind...

Thunderclan I'm stumped on...having them being able to wield electricity might be a little too wild considering the others, but I can't think of anything else...

Bloodclan...I'm also stumped on if we include them. xC

The underworld/starclan/orwhatevertheyare, I think we should allow a lot of variations, since everyone has a different view on demons and angels and how they look, but we should allow wings :33 Also, I totally want to include a middle ground for ghost cats, like poltergeists and whatnot. I love ghosts.

[Deleted]

I don't really agree with the "normal" Clans really having powers. It's AWESOME, but idk. x3 I'm not completely against it, either.

For ThunderClan, perhaps the ability not to "control" electricity, per say, but perhaps when there are storms they have the ability to manipulate the atmosphere around them to a certain extent, not all cats would be able to be great at this.

But then the question comes about about mixed Clan cats, or cats not born into the Clans. That could become a bit of a problem.

However with BloodClan, I think it would be pretty cool if they were like... a vampire/cannibal Clan. Vengenz is a freak, I know. And I would love to lead them even though I'm not an admin because BloodClan is one of my favorite Clans, alongside ShadowClan, teehee.

[Waffu-Waffu]

I'm not too hot on the idea of 'powers' either. It seems a little cheesy. I do like the idea of the adaptations though, such as the sexy fish cats of Riverclan. I think we should try to stick to the adaptation parts, and change up the environment more so that its more extreme, say,RC territory is 90% water, so they had to adapt to be able to hunt underwater.

Maybe Sky clan can live very high up in the mountains, and the addition of feathers to help them glide from rock to rock across large gorges and the ability to live in low levels of oxygen is their adaptation.

Also, would we include the tribes? They weren't really my favorite feature, but I suppose since they were there, I should mention them in case people forgot.

Well, since it would be very obvious they're mixed clan (if we go with the adaptations), maybe if they're very obvious, like with scales when they should have none, they could be cast out? I'm not sure...

That's a pretty good idea, like they need blood to survive, and they sort of stalk the clans and try to kill them (which would add yet another threat to the clans, and create some wonderful story lines)? Haha...something like that.

[Waffu-Waffu]

Welll.....is that all the opinions...? I realize we have the whopping total of 11 members, but there's only four people commenting... I'd like to start on the rules and whatnot since I have free time...

[Deleted]

I honestly think the rules from v1 are just fine.

[Waffu-Waffu]

Alrighty...I can copy and paste most of those onto here, and then add a few little things... But is the ideas we have for adaptations for each clan good? Or do we not like having feathers and scales as an option?

[Deleted]

I don't really agree with the feathers and scales, that seems a bit much, but I'd say things like ability to swim underwater or be under water extended periods of time for RC, uhm idk like nightvision or something for SC... know what I mean? More natural things that seem more believable. I really like the cannibal/vampire idea for BC because that's smexy~

Wings and stuff for the dead cats seems like a good idea, too. I really like that.

[Waffu-Waffu]

Alrighty...Maybe Shadowclan can have like an extensive underground tunnel? They can have better viusion in the dark, then not really come out of their tunnels in the day? That way they'd be like shadows...

And I really think that we should make the territories a little more extreme, like having RC mostly water with only like, 20 percent land where they live, and shadowclan's territory being mostly the dark tunnels, because the above ground part is nothing that could sustain them.
