Plot Planning

So, where do you guys think we should be taking the plot?
In the last blog entry, we were talking over a few ideas about Wildstar getting captured. A patrol of MoonClan apprentices or young warriors could accidentally or on purpose stray into NightClan’s territory, Wildstar and possibly some older warriors could go after them to bring them back to MoonClan’s territory before NightClan discovers what they have done. They are attacked by a NightClan patrol, and Wildstar is taken captive by those warriors. It would be best if more violent, impulsive warriors were on this patrol as more cautious warriors wouldn’t be risking starting a bigger fight by doing this. Raven & Co. suggested that they demand the territory they lost in the last battle in return for giving Wildstar back. This could be a way for them to potentially back down without starting a larger conflict over it, while not looking like cowards. However, MoonClan might be too proud to do this and insist that Wildstar be given back with nothing given in return, since they will believe that NightClan is in the wrong.
Thoughts?
DawnClan could easily get pulled into this conflict due to their ties with MoonClan, but as things are right now between the change of leadership and the fact that they don’t have anything on the line if they stay out of it, SunClan doesn’t have much reason to be involved.

The battle sounds good to me.
I was thinking that maybe as a plot for sometime later that one of the clans (most likely MoonClan) could try to get NightClan run out of the territory. I know that there's a rule against it in the Warrior Code (which adds to the controversy of the situation) but the clan could back up their position by claiming that NightClan isn't a real clan anyway and therefore shouldn't be given the status of one among the other clans. They don't usually obey the warrior code, they start fights at the Gathering, they don't respect StarClan, they've had insane leaders that have attacked ruthlessly and pointlessly in the past, and the other clans tend to have a fairly low opinion of NightClan lifestyle. In most situations, they're seen as the bad guys and I think it's possible that something larger than just distaste could spring from that viewpoint.

Let's get those border skirmishes between NightClan and MoonClan get going soon.
Wildstar was approaching a position like that, however I'm not sure if Toxicstar supports that, at least yet. When the war really starts going, it's possible that Toxicstar could try and convince SunClan to do something like that.
I was thinking that we might want to have a shift in alliances, SunClan doesn't seem to think that MoonClan is strong enough to go against NightClan and DawnClan is beginning to have their doubts about their alliance with NightClan on moral grounds. We may want to have DawnClan stop supporting NightClan, and bring in SunClan and DawnClan back into the war later on with DawnClan on MoonClan's side, trying to get rid of an "evil" clan, and SunClan on NightClan's side, trying to preserve some balance of power.

Well, I'm ready for it. I've got my auto-correct on and my dictionary to make my posts not so ordinary xD
An alliance shift sounds interesting. Maybe the Clans aren't keen on the shift right away, and maybe some disagreements and small skirmishes occur? Maybe they'll generally avoid their allies a bit, kind of like the Clans were on their own?
I was thinking that DawnClan and SunClan would drop out of the war for a few battles, so it wouldn't seem so sudden and forced. I'm not sure of what, but something would have to happen to pull them back into it. Toxicstar's announcement that they're going to try and drive NightClan away might be enough, if DawnClan reacted first by joining MoonClan's side.
I'm not exactly sure how it would play out, but what if Nightclan were to unjustly attack Sunclan and the result would be catastrophic... maybe to scare Moonclan into submission? Dawnclan would realize what they're dealing with and join in the fight to drive them out.
I don't think that would do what we'd want it to do, it would scare SunClan and DawnClan into joining MoonClan, then things would be too out of balance for the war to go on for too long. As well as that, what motivation would NightClan have?
Maybe the motivation is to try and regain stolen territory again. They would go to Moonclan directly, then when they refused they'd have a few skirmishes with their patrols. When that didn't work, Frozenstar would plan a mass attack on Sunclan to send a message to Moonclan that they won't take no for an answer.
They don't have any territory they'd be wanting to get back from SunClan. SunClan's territory has very little prey on it, as well as that if they attack SunClan, they're going to be bringing a second clan against them. They wouldn't be going to MoonClan to ask for SunClan territory, SunClan has already made it very clear they're not allied with MoonClan. Frozenstar seems fairly cautious, she wouldn't needlessly throw them into a fight that would throw away their advantage.
So here's roughly what it seems to look like, combining the last two pages of posts into a sort of timeline.
-MoonClan will provoke a NightClan patrol into attacking in a border skirmish
-Several other border skirmishes may take place later on as tensions rise.
-A battle will take place in which NightClan attacks MoonClan's camp. Possibly a few kits could be killed?
-Possibly during the upcoming gathering, DawnClan will break their alliance with NightClan on moral grounds and join MoonClan, who will announce their intention to run NightClan out.
-SunClan will respond to this by joining NightClan, in order to preserve the balance of power between the clans.
There's a lot of room for things to be changed there, and the timeline itself is pretty flexible. Sound pretty good to y'all? The border skirmishes can start soon, I think it would be interesting if one or two took place before the gathering this coming weekend.

If we have a gathering come up soon (and I know there are going to be fairly good things said based on the gathering entry) are we going to have this one be entirely peaceful, semi peaceful with a minor fight at the end, or just a plain battle like last time?
Tensions will be very high and there will be some verbal blows exchanged, but there won't be an actual fight this time around.
I like the idea of Wildstar being captured. I'm not sure about DawnClan being involved. Yes, they have ties to MoonClan, but it is an internal Clan affair, one I do not see DawnClan getting involved in. I've read the history, and it sounds like DawnClan has suffered a lot of losses with all these wars. They would try to stay out of it for as long as possible. I could only see them getting involved if the fight came to them. But, I am new, so I could be wrong. Those are just my thoughts.
DawnClan is already involved in the war, it's getting them officially out of it that we're trying to do at the moment.
Dawnclan is trying to get out? Alright then. Maybe they could prove in a battle for once and for all they wouldn't be messed with and should be left alone? That doesn't sound like Dawnclan though does it...
I was thinking that NC could attack MC's camp, kill a kit in the fray, or possibly some queens, and DC would back out of the alliance on moral grounds.
But then wouldnt Noghtclan be badgering Dawnclan about being a coward?
