Hey guys!   It's been a very exciting month on the roleplay as the flooding arc has come to a head in the battle currently raging on in the territory.  Out of character, registrations were opened and many new members were welcomed into the site.  Thank you to Angel for suggesting this Monthly Meow topic!  As promised, I'll be going over several scenes that I feel the summaries on the History Page don't do justice.  Hopefully y'all...

Hey guys! It’s been a fairly quiet January around the roleplay. The flooding arc’s been slow in getting moving, but with some plot developments and events that are planned to begin this afternoon we can hopefully pull in some more organized conflict that will help launch us into our next large-scale arc. Out of character, we’ve celebrated the seventh anniversary of this website’s creation and welcomed in a handful of new members...

This month’s medicine cat meeting is coming up! It’ll take place from the 22nd to the 24th, following the same pattern as usual: Friday will be set aside for the medicine cats to travel to the Moonstone, by Saturday afternoon the meeting should have started and by Sunday evening the medicine cats should be returning to the barn.

During the meeting, the medicine cats should discuss the sickness that...

Seven years ago today, Silverwing and I created this website, I would have been shocked to know then how long this website would continue and the amazing plots that our members and us would build together. This past year has been one of the busiest since the website began, as well. We jumped straight into Toxicstar’s war, which lead to the most ambitious arc we’ve done yet: the medicine cat uprising. As the year drew into a close, we drove...

How long do y’all want the flooding to last?

We’re getting to the end of when the arc was scheduled to come to a close, but there’s been little conflict between the clans. What do you think we should be using as a source of tension (sickness, some planned conflicts between leaders and groups, maybe some skirmishes breaking out, etc.) or would you rather leave this arc as one that unifies the clans against, for instance, a drought?

This past December has been filled with new things all over the site: three new guides, a handful of new members, an information page reorganization that resulted in a new page, and the start of a new arc. In character, the clans flood has forced the clans to live together in an abandoned barn in SunClan’s territory. The scarcity of prey, space, and privacy is bound to cause some trouble soon, both in causing the clans to clash and by bringing th...

How do I roleplay here?

Roleplaying is done in past tense, third person, paragraph form. For instance:

Brownfur crossed through MoonClan’s camp, her ears pricking up as she heard Greypelt call her name from the other side of the camp. Oh StarClan, she thought, I hope I didn’t get assigned to the morning patrol again!

She trot...

Hey guys! While we have the wider events of our next arc planned out, we need to settle the finer details of it.

What we do have planned entails the clans experiencing a large, sudden storm. NightClan will be forced out of their camp by a flash flood, while a dam breaks upstream forcing MoonClan and DawnClan to abandon their own camps. The only clan left in safety will be SunClan, who will accept the other cl...

The December gathering will take place from the 11th to the 13th. 40 cats should attend the gathering from each clan. Leaders, make sure that each member with an eligible character in your clan has at least one character attending. The clans will travel to Hawk’s Tree on Friday, the gathering will officially begin Saturday, and the clans should return to their camps by Sunday evening. During the gathering, MoonClan will return the guards that had b...

Hey guys! With the holidays just around the corner, it seemed time for our first New Year’s gift exchange.

The event will be run like a Secret Santa. All participants will be randomly assigned to each other and keep their giftee secret until New Year’s Day, when everyone will post their gifts. Possible gift ideas include drawings, short stories, or poems about your gift-ee’s characters, pers...

This November has been spent tying up the medicine cat arc. In MoonClan, Weepingstar’s regime fell, followed by a recovery marred by a series of complications. The remaining zealots waited in the prison for days before being banished. Melodychant, MoonClan’s secretly pregnant medicine cat, was kidnapped and attacked by rouges. Geckstar’s leadership was questioned from the beginning and a controversial choice of deputyship pushed the ...

Gathering:

The November gathering will take place from the 13th to the 15th. 50 cats should attend the gathering from each clan. Leaders, make sure that each member with an eligible character in your clan has at least one character attending. The clans will travel to Hawk’s Tree on Friday, the gathering will officially begin Saturday, and the clans should return to their camps by Sunday evening.

Hey guys! This past month the roleplay has seen the medicine cats’ rule step onto its last legs. Over the last few weeks, DawnClan executed Dawnswallow and returned to a traditional structure by electing new leaders and Weepingstar’s attempts to hold his clan together were impeded by Geckospots’ sudden disappearance. Over the past week the arc came to a head with the MoonClan rebellion and an all-out battle to determine who would cont...

The DawnClan overthrow has already begun, MoonClan’s revolt is scheduled to begin either next weekend (October 16-18) or the following one (October 23-25). This gap will allow DawnClan to gather support and NightClan and SunClan and prevent too much from happening all at once.

In DawnClan, Clawtail has started a clan meeting to call for Dawnswallow’s removal from power because of the foxglove murder...

Hey guys! This past month has been super exciting, while the medicine cats’ rule started off strong; toward the end of the month it has become strained. Dawnswallow and Clawtail have been murdering their clanmates with foxglove seeds, while Weepingtiger has sent out teams of “enforcers” to take out cats he deems had threats. With the first deaths came suspicions in the nonbelieving members of both clans. In MoonClan, a rebellion has ...

Hey guys, it’s becoming time for another gathering and medicine cat meeting! The gathering will be taking place from the 11th to the 13th following the usual schedule of the clans arriving on Friday, the meeting being called to order on Saturday, and the gathering coming to a close with the clans returning home by Sunday evening. Around 40 characters should attend the gathering from each clan. Leaders, make sure that each member with an eligible character in your clan has at least on...

This past month we have gone over our host’s bandwidth allowance, which puts the website in danger of being deactivated. Bandwidth is the amount of data (text, photos, videos, etc.) that is served to users.

To limit your bandwidth usage, please avoid rapidly refreshing pages as you wait for responses, or flipping between pages more often than necessary. In particular, avoid clicking on art or video page...

Clawtail and Dawnswallow have begun killing off opposition by using foxglove seeds and claiming that StarClan is striking down the nonbelievers within their ranks. This will lead to their downfall when Clawtail’s infatuation with Weepingtiger leads her to reveal the plot and pin all responsibility for the deaths, and particularly one involving a cat the clan as a whole was fond of, on her mentor when she catches wind of Dawnswallow’s love for...
