PLEASE READ: IMPORTANT SITE DISCUSSION

[Waffu-Waffu]

SML time again, but there’s no need for formalities, so let’s cut to the chase.

Needless to say, inactivity is on the rise again, but I have a solution for this. A lot of people come on here and start roleplaying in the chatbox (which we need to be sure is highlighted that that is not what you’re supposed to do) and I started thinking. So here we are:

Live Chat roleplays

• This would encourage members to be on and interact with each other, and hopefully, get people to know each other and be less shy around each other. I know the worst part of starting a rolepay sometimes is approaching someone, so maybe if we get to know each other it will be better :33
  
• It would probably work best with in IC (in character) and OOC (Out of character) Chat so the rp boards wouldn’t be clogged up with off topic stuff. Perhaps only a max of two or three APPROVED characters each (not counting npcs like bears, wolves, humans, so on)?
  
• Script format would be the quickest and easiest to understand and keep up with. [ex.) Lakesong: *swims through the river* I hate all of you.] *insert words* Would indicate an action.
  
• We would need a specific time for this for all time zones (we all live in different areas, I know, and telling where you live isn’t a good idea, so we’ll put all times up), and I think Saturdays would be the best time. Since some people are going back to school, Sundays won’t be as convenient, and the week will most likely be off limits. These should probably last anywhere from 1-2 hours in case some people get confused and come late on accident, but can last as long as needed/wanted and as often as we want.
  
• There would be a set plot (Clan battle, gathering, so on), but perhaps if the clans expand enough, we can have individual clans in the future. I’ve got some stuff brewing, and if enough people approve of the live chat roleplays, then I’ll spit out my ideas.
  

So, what do you think? I welcome more ideas to promote activity. I know that personally, my muse is sometimes so low for Warriors that no matter how fun the rp is, I just can't force myself to reply. Maybe if we shortened our roleplays and made them more fast paced, more people would be interested.

I think this is a swell idea, it seems really fun and could really take some stress off for especially me whos going into university in September. What about a kind of a game night as well? Like once a month the whole site gets together and plays online board games or whatevs to get to know each other and just enjoy eachothers company and stuff? I know a rad Cards Against Humanity site that the older members can play but there are so many games that can bring people together and even start a rp buddyhood or something. I dunno, just snowballing off your perf idea darlin u v u

Yes that'd be great, I can set up an IC chat (and give everybody the password to both of 'em sgdffgsgdg). I love the game night idea too! I also do a stream every week or so where I doodle cats and stuff. Usually it's full of members from another site but I can do one just for our members and doodle characters and we can all chat and be silly! Join.me only allows ten people in a stream at one time but if I find a decent alternative (or get together the money for a pro account) then that can be fixed.

(Also I think I might be on more regularly now I hope ghhhh and sorry for the general sloppiness of this post)

[FENRIS]

That sounds really fun ahhhhh
I need to buy a laptop omg or I'll have to do all of this on my phone Dx

[Waffu-Waffu]

Ah, game night sounds fun, but it has to be something that won't show anyone's location or any personal information _{I love you all but I'm so paranoid.}

Cobalt, you don't need to do this, but if you draw some cats from this site while you're with other people from other sites, maybe it'll bring some active members over here? Just a suggestion so that there's more active people C:

So what would be a convenient time for these shenanigans to take place?

^{I really like all of these ideas c:
Though, have you considered the idea of badges and events? For example, there could be an herb gathering event, and if you complete it you get a badge to have on your mini-profile [sidebar] or in your signature?}

[Mama Oak]

I really like the idea of having events that heed prizes... like maybe we could set up sparring threads? It could be between apprentices in a training sessions, two kittens play-fighting, or two cats in a claws-unsheathed scuffle on the border. But perhaps at the end, a judge could decide who prevails based on a number of things, such as the emotion showed in the posts, how realistic they were, and just how well played the characters were? And I like the herb-gathering thing, too! A hunting competition?

^{Ooo, I really like those ideas! They sound like a whole lot of fun c:}
