Adnvrieobnote discuss the plot here. From what I skimmed the old thread before making this the things we mentioned were: - Food Shortage
- ShadowClan stuck in suffering hell
- River the douchebags with all the food
- Natural disaster??? (Honestly idk how this will work entirely considering Warriors is based in the British Isles and correct me if I'm wrong but the only potential disasters in that area is Iceland's volcano pissing off a Scottish guy in an airport and maybe a hurricane.
- Spooky Medicine Cat dream
- River and Thunder ultimate kismesis with Wind sticking their nose in while Shadow keeps dying
- Assholes taking advantage of Clan tensions (war-starved Warriors or Rogues hoping to be shit disturbers)
Anything else?

Okay. So I'm just going to toss out a suggestion here. I know there was talk about getting rid of Bloodclan and Skyclan. This plot would probably work best if that happened.
What if another, strange group came upon the clan territories? They're not evil, per say (at least not in their eyes). This group, though, is crazy fanatically religious, basically. Perhaps they have a polytheistic belief system where they have some sort of "god" for important elements of the world (earth, water, fire, air, sky, sun, moon, day, night, etc). If you guys want to do this all, I'd be happy to work out a list of their "gods". I'm putting gods in quotations because we don't have to call them gods but they're deity sort of figures. Anyway, this group comes in, and at first the clans would think a bunch of rogues were passing through or something. They'd see strange cats but probably not actually catch any for a while. Their prey would be short because these strangers are taking some away as well. At the next gathering, they'd realize that all the clans were experiencing this. Eventually, the clan cats would obviously interact with these strange cats. The strange cats would try to convert the clan cats to their ways (perhaps to "save" them from something?). Perhaps the strange group would even want the clan cats' territories because their "gods" told them it was to be their new home?
Anyway, just a suggestion.

Yeah we dumped those two Clans. I actually have a cat I thought of a while ago named Pip, and he's from a tribe kinda deal who are all deep-sea kinda cats whp live underwater and have spooky sea animal adaptations (He's based off of a blue ringed octopus for example). They believe in a spooky evil tentacle eldritch-style monster, and they take special sea plants to make them hallucinate and 'talk' to their great god. Would that be interesting at all? Pip was one of the priests of the tribe, we could potentially make a huge tribe of these scary deep-sea hairless cats with weird beliefs and tribe positions and stuff that's foreign to the clans. Here is Pip's old bio, I didn't do much with it but I think it'd be radical having a bunch of people into my crew instead of just lonely Pip.

OOO. That sounds super interesting. I'm going to toss out another few ideas here, though, as far as the look of these crazy weird cats. Maybe instead of deep-sea, they tunnel? Like underground. Sort of like mole-rats or something. Or perhaps, they're cave-dwellers who do most of their hunting and such under sea but they live in a dank, eerie cave? When it comes to hallucinating, I love that idea! Eating something crazy, or maybe there's a cave they go to filled with fumes like oracles in ancient Greece? Maybe they actually have an oracle who talks to their deity and acts like a medicine cat? AND here's the really wild part. What if instead of hairless cats, they were partially hairless cats? Specifically, there's this type of cat called a Lykoi cat, also known as a werewolf cat. It's a fairly new breed. They look WILD. Just look at some!

My only concern is that the ShadowClan cats are the tunnel kinda cats, with deep-sea we get a million trillion different adaptations and some can glow and have fins or tentacles or weird lure things anglerfish have and other spooky underwater things. RiverClan can't live underwater, these ones have full respiratory systems built for it, maybe they live in undersea caverns?? The oracles were the priests I mentioned, there'd be a few of them and they'd live in kinda like a monastery kinda deal far away from their Tribe mates, only to come down to tell them of what the great tentacle monster said. I was thinking they had a kind of council too, instead of one leader.
Those cats are horrifying though omfg. Maybe depending on their adaptations they'd either be partially or completely hairless?

Oh! I got you!. What if they lived in caves at the edge of the sea? Then the hairless thing might be their fully adaptive state, but lykios might be that middle level? Or like mixed breeds with cats that converted and joined this tribe. Because if they live complete under sea, how would they really interact with the clans, or pose a threat? (Also, you're going to laugh but I find sphinx cats scarier than the lykios xD)

Oh, what if they're based partially off amphibians! The past several generations maybe cats that stayed deep underwater their whole lives were dominant, but now amphibious ones that come onto land when they mature are more common and are starting to expand from their little caves?

Perhaps they began to wander toward land and "recruit" because their numbers are dwindling? Their most prominent target would, of course, be Riverclan xD For recruitment.

Alrighty I'm sorry but I really don't want this thread to slow down so hence this post;
- I really like the idea of these deep sea/amphibious cats, that opens the door for some really interesting adaptions.
- Why are they a problem? Are they planning to take over clan land? Are they curious? I like the idea of them being fascinated with RiverClan, and trying to recruit them. Maybe RiverClan could be divided over whether or not they should join these cats.
- As well as deep sea cats, and amphibious cats, maybe we could also have a tribe of lizard cats? Maybe they could take over SkyClan's territory, be what drives them out of their caves? Just spitting out ideas & trying to maintain momentum

The idea is that they're a problem because they're fanatic, in a sense. They launch some sort of "crusade" against the clans when they don't cave to their demands. They'd sort of view Riverclan as a primitive version of themselves, which is why they'd appeal to them in particular to join, though I would think they'd extend the invitation to cats of all clans. Anybody who wasn't from Riverclan would be treated like menial labor, though xD.
I think that having two extra clans would be too much, personally. Particularly before the site is fully active again. But perhaps the idea of some sort of desert dwelling cats would be interesting? Or maybe cats that live on the mountains, whose adaptations include the ability to scale cliffs? Like sticky pads or something. What if the clans stumbled upon this other group (who was more friendly) and sought their help in chasing off the fanatical water cats? We could involve a plot where so many cats from each clan would be sent on this journey to find help. Then a second strange group of cats wouldn't have to be introduced until later.
