So I Guess We Should Get Started

[Petrichor]

Like the Almighty SML said, I've kind of noticed that not much has been going on around here, and I think that's a real shame because I like the people here and I think the aspects of this site are fun to write out and roleplay, and it's this kind of inactivity that drives perfectly good sites to extinction.

I know I'm no admin or anything, but I'm not just going to stand idly by while a dragon burns my hold and slaughters my people all my friends are in danger of me not seeing them or writing them again. So, I think I might as well get this stuff started.

I'll just go in categories by what SML said. I'll leave out things I have no place in, but might comment on them. Let's get started.


Kill List

Well, I didn't make a thread for Cloudfrost in time, so she's on the kill list. Have her be executed for her sadistic tendencies or something, I don't know. Stormpaw and Flowerfur have both have their (extremely character-defining) threads. I don't really think I should go around saying which cats should die and which cats shouldn't.


Plots and Assignments

Well, I'd kind of like to maybe get a thread started around some of the more... sadistic cats in the Clans. For example, let's say Honeyleaf goes around and a cat gets away with his attempted murder, and that cat tells people, but no cat believes them except for a select few.

For an assignment, let's say that, ah, an earthquake ruins ShadowClan territory (for the length of the assignment) and the cats are redistributed to other Clans. This doesn't need to be solely ShadowClan -- any other Clan with underground territory will work, as BloodClan has the catacombs.

Maybe the Dark Forest comes in guise of StarClan and warns all of the leaders of a false prophecy that, if followed would ruin the Clans. That's more of a plot thing, though, but I'll leave it out there.

By the way, Stormpaw and Flowerfur are up for threads by people other than Oakey, too. I love Oakey to death, but I'd kind of like to thread with other people once in a while. (* v *')

By the way, Oaks, I'd like to have another Flower - Elm thread. I love the tension between the two, and I'd like to keep that going for a little while, not just suddenly have them meet again as he dies, ya know?


Gathering Times

Again, I don't think I have any say in this, but I'm good for any time -- as long as it's after 4:00PM Pacific Time. I kind of need school for a job later on. I guess we could make it on, say, the second Saturday of every month, since some people have church on Sundays, and then there's the whole Friday thing being school and also being the day before the weekend and (Oh Din, the traffic...)

I dunno.


Finish stuff

I'd like to work with Blizz and Oakey on the whole Littlestorm shipping arc, specifically the one where Honeyleaf comes in and ruins almost everything. I don't have any art or anything to finish up.


STOP MAKING NEW CATS

YES MA'AM, SML! (I don't really have a problem with that, and I must admit the constant flow of new cats without the counterbalance of new threads kind of annoys me sometimes)



Post-Script
That's just what I have to say, so please take it with a grain of salt. I'm going to begin writing Cloudfrost's assignment immediately after I post this, and should have the first post finished by tonight. If it's not too late, of course. If it's too late, oh well -- Stormpaw and Flowerfur are the cats I really need on this site. Good luck, admins! I wish you well!

1. Kill List

I believe Cloudfrost is safe, considering you created her biography well after the assignment was due. Unless you just want her dead. xD I think she's a cool character though and would love to read her sometime. c: But, after school tomorrow, I can certainly go through all the bios and tally up the cats who are getting "put to the sword" (read a lot of ASOFAI tonight, heh) and make a pretty little kill list. Those ideas are awesome, and Splashy has PMed me about an idea concerning a possible widespread sickness that kills cats off. That might be cool, too (and Elmstar would be like "Ah, foxwhiskers, no.")

2. Plots & Assignments

I think for now, all I'll throw in here is how absolutely stellar I think an assigned border skirmish might be. Something that I love in the books but never see too much of online is strained interclan tensions. I eat that stuff up. And I think it would be really, really cool to establish/explore some diplomatic dynamics between the clans. Just something I would like to see sometime or another.

But I also like the idea of some territory taking a hit in some form or another to whatever degree. On v1, SML incorporated this really cool plot with ShadowClan where their territory got all burnt up and ravaged. She changed the board descriptions and it was nice. I like the thought of a clan having to... "rebuild". And then shuddering at the idea of having to ask help or appear weakened in front of the other clans. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing. ShadowClan's only water source gets poisoned? An earthquake, I like that idea, Storm m'dear.

And btw, I'd love to start something new between Elm and Flower (they're fantastic). He's my main guy, I'll love him to his grave. I need to get something started for him with Grayleaf and Ravenpaw, too, but I'm usually never lacking on the ole geizer's muse and am psyched for plotting with his deputy, medicine cat, and apprentice all the same. (: If you'd like to begin a thread, awesome, go for it. If you'd like me to post a starter, I'm gung-ho after I get all my other replies up. (:

Same for LittleStorm — I'm still super jazzed about that thread.

3.Gatherings

I'm usually good after 4:30PM on weekdays except for Monday, for band practice. And then I'll always be gone all day on Friday for band. Homework permitting, my schedule is pretty flexible.

New Cats

Well, this is obviously directed at me. And if it pleases, I'll clean out all the cats that haven't been threaded/plotted yet. Cut it down to just a few main characters, if it'll make the site appear less stagnant and what-not.

After-Note

[/u]

Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Storm. (: I appreciate it, really, that you (along with all of us, I have no doubt) are more than willing to see FourClans on to a swift and smooth recovery from it's "lazy, no good, slacking admin"-imposed slum.

And sorry my reply is short. I'll likely have more to say after four hours of sleep and right hours of school. (:

[FENRIS]

Sorry about not totally being here, tomorrow is my sister's birthday and I'm kind of stressed about mom and how things are going to go through tomorrow. But I'll be around, promise.

Kill List:
I don't think I have any to add to this, since I only have three done cats and one WIP. There could be a small plot thing where Tigerfang gets killed somehow and Lionstar blames another Clan. Losing his brother could also start up some RC plots as he'll be emotionally unstable and holed up in his den. I don't mind Tigerfang dying as long as it's sensible, he's an older cat and is still one of the best Warriors in RC.

Plots and Assignments:
As I said in the Kill List, I could start some RC plots and maybe hostilities between RiverClan and another with the death of Tigerfang. Lionstar already hates non-RiverClanners so it's an easy plot starter.

Storm the only thing is that Honey makes sure cats can't escape, he's a genius remember? :P Like and evil Sherlock almost~

An earthquake sounds fun, again RiverClan will not be allowing ShadowClanners in at all and would be ordered to chase them off if they do try to enter.

I tried to make Lionstar as close to the old book Leaders as possible so border skirmishes is definitely a thing he'd put his Clan through.

I still don't think we should have a big site plot, they always fall apart when people leave or don't reply. Little plots are good for sure, they can involve two or so Clans but definitely not six. Also just a note, we really need to fill in the PoPs as soon as possible. If we do use the small plot I suggested with RC Lionstar will definitely need a Deputy.

Gathering Times:
I honestly do not know when I can come on for Gatherings, my work schedule changes every week so I never have a definite day off. Though I'd say maybe after 6:00PM Atlantic Time is fine with me on most days, the latest being probably 9:00PM or so unless they make me stay after the store closes which is highly unlikely.

New Cats:
I don't think I have a problem with that, as I barely even finished two bios.

Extra:
Just call me when you need me for that thread guys, I'll join whenever.

When activity picks up a bit more and Oakey and I finish a few more things up humans will able to be roleplayed in the Hidden Boards if people want to, I am the admin over them and Oakey is co-admin of that. Humans are low priority on this site but they're a welcome change and can boost roleplaying, but there are stricter rules when it comes to them so don't lose all activity with cats just for them. They're not the main focus of FourClans.

I think we should do a bit more advertising as well, to help a little more with the activity. It's not that important but it would be nice.

Well that's all I have to say, let's keep rolling with this and make FourClans the rad site it is.

[splashtana ★]

<sup>I feel like I should do my part to help out<33

Kill List--

I know I'm not an admin, so I will obviously be leaving this part up to the admins as I do not want to be all like 'let's kill this cat' as just a member.

Plots and Assignments--

Going on with what Oakey said, I had pmed her about a widespread sickness/plague that a lot of cats caught, but no one seemed to know a cure for it. After a bunch of suffering, the medicine cats and their apprentices could get together, and organize a whole quarantine set up for the sick cats while they tried to figure out a cure for it. Of course, eventually a cat would receive a dream of the cure, share it with all the medicine cats, then the healing of all the cats could begin.

Another plot I had, which is more of a Hemlockpaw thing, would be for him to completely loose his mind, and go insane. He'd have his little victims, cats who wronged him or were exactly what he wants to be, and he'd destroy them by ripping them apart and using their pieces as self decor and such. It seems gorey, yes, but I was plotting this when I was off my anti-depressants, so the dark and violent side of Splashy came out c:

Oakey and I are plotting a Sweetleaf and Redfang litter, but sadly no one has been replying to get those kittens. So, I urge you all to head over to my most recent adoptable thread, as it was truly meant to be an activity boost, and I was pretty bummed out when I had no replies to it D:

Gathering Time--

I'm extremely flexible, going to be honest, as being thirteen I'm not able to legally get a job, can't drive, things like that. But, I'm on the East Coast of America, and I'm at school from 8:15 am to 3:15 pm. Now, I have cross-country practice everyday until 5:45, so I'll be offline a lot then, unless I'm able to get online at certain times. But, eighth graders at my school can only use computers every other day, so that's pretty flaky. Though, feel free to start the gathering whenever works for all of you, I'll find the time to sneak on if I can't make it, or just reply later on in the day c:

New Characters--

I have an explanation for my four characters c: Sweetleaf was made a while back, Laurelkit I adopted from Oakey, and Hemlockpaw was also made a while back. I made Cardinalpaw in hopes that if I joined a new clan with a few members, I'd be able to help boost activity. Not to complain or anything, but all most of the threads I've made have been ignored or forgotten, hence the reason I'm always trying to plot and make threads, things like that D: So, I agree with SML. We should try and cut back on our characters so we can focus on our current characters and their threads c:</sup>

Kill List

• Aspenkit [TC]*
  
• Tigerfang [RC]
  
• Larkpaw [WC]
  
• Pineshadow [ShC]
  
• Breamtail [ShC]
  
• Doveface [ShC]+
  
• Spiderleg [ShC]+
  
• Furzepaw [SkC]+
  
  * — Aspenkit's bio was accepted on August 4th, which would only have been included in the kill period if there hadn't been an extension. I'm not sure if she counts or not.
  
  + — cats that either completed their assignment or the assignment didn't apply to them, but are being added to the kill list anyway because Oakey apparently has a surplus of characters

Looking at this list, I think that it would be interesting if something happened to ShadowClan. Or... maybe... in the case of a widespread illness, it would be most concentrated in ShadowClan? *shrugs* Just an idea.

[Deleted]

mmkay, i suppose i should do this too?

kill list -- neither of my charries is on the list; they were both accepted after the assignment!

plots and assignments -- well, i'd love to get my charries some friends! also- maybe we could have some kind of very emotional battle between two clans? as for assignments, maybe a drought or other type of natural disaster could occur

gatherings -- i can do almost any time any day after four thirty. however, my computer is acting funky atm, so i'm using an iphone. and i can't do monday or wednesday - orchestra. tennis may also come up, and my friend's birthday is this weekend just fyi.

finish stuff -- i have some tradish art i need to upload, and some digital to finish. and splash, dear, i don't want to pressure you but i'd really like to finish flickerpaw's training thread

new cats -- i was considering making a blood or skyclanner, as i've had a personality in mind forever, but if you don't want me to, i won't.

other -- honestly guys, talk to me! pm me, whatever! i really want to hear from you guys! also, just remember- have fun! (and this is a wonderful thread, storm!)
