Isolation Plot Planning III

Posted by Ember on September 1, 2016 at 2:10 AM

Hi everyone! If you haven’t already, please review the Planned Events portion of the History Page.

In our last plot planning entry, we decided to have the MoonClan/DawnClan battle take place this coming weekend (September 2nd-4th). However, we need to plan how we are going to escalate a skirmish between rogue DawnClaners and a MoonClan patrol to a large battle including the majority of both clans.

There are some more plot ideas that have been floating around for a while but need to be fleshed out, such as when the MoonClan spies are discovered in DawnClan, what will the chain of events be that lead DawnClan to send out spies of their own, and then the other clans to follow suit? As well, what are we doing with the prisoners NightClan has taken? My assumption would be that the other clans will take NightClan prisoners and attempt to trade hostages. However, we could have the other clans attack NightClan if the kidnapping continues, or if NightClan refuses to give up their prisoners in return for the captured NightClanners.

There have been a few plot elements that have been neglected lately, so I’d like to remind everyone that NightClan should be shifting into a violent, eager-to-prove-themselves mindset, while SunClan becomes very strict and single-minded in the pursuit of building up their clan’s strength. Incorporating these ideas into your cats’ day-to-day interactions will help push things forward much more than individual “larger” plot points will.

Aspenstar and Poppystar will both be retiring this month, how do we want to handle that?  Spicy, Lilywish, would you like them to retire, be killed, or...?

sneakstar is going to work to end isolation. Any moonclanners willing to spend time in sunclan?

What do you want Sneakstar to do to end isolation? We haven't gotten very far into the true suspicions of it yet, we still need the spies to be discovered in DawnClan. Maybe the other clans can see Sneakstar's approaches as being trickery of some sort?

SneakStar is engaging in peace talks with Sunclan, and plans to host a gathering at the hawks tree.

Okay, please don't go ahead with things like that without discussing it here first. There hasn't been much discussion of abandoning the isolation plot, so unless we change our minds on that front, the peace talks should fail.

Do you want me to get Iciclepaw discovered by leaking it to another apprentice or something? Maybe someone asks him where hes going and he tells them about delivering a report.

Yeah, maybe we should have Nightmist and Iciclepaw discovered as MoonClan spies soon.
I like the idea of Sneakstar ending the isolation.

Shadow, that sounds great :)

If we were to end the isolation plot, what would we do with the spies? Would y'all like to drop that plot? It seems like there hasn't been much interest in it lately, so I think it would be best to either put more focus on it than we have and include more members, to re-evaluate where we want the plot to go entirely.

If Sneak does end up being the one to end the isolation, we could have one or two leaders refusing? Or when the time comes to end it anyway.

If we were to end the isolation, I see justification for DawnClan and NightClan allying. They do have strong past ties that the nationalists would look to, and for breaking the isolation we could have a rather obvious and strong line drawn between the alliances, rather than the more wishy washy agreements that have been in the recent past.

To expand on this point a bit:
The two alliances (MC and SC // NC and DC) could start to have their own little "Gatherings" between just the two of their clans, and it could eventually lead to the point we're they're hunting in each others' territories, sharing fighting and hunting techniques, and so on and so forth. I think this could work well as a mini version of the barn plot, which was good in theory, but just had too much stuff going on at once to keep organized. This would also make orchestrating the Gatherings and pushing plots forward easier as we'd only have to coordinate between the leaders of two clans, rather than all four (and we all know how hard it is to get every single leader on at the same time).

It may even grow to the point where, for either a period of time or forever, the two clans merge into one, and implement a system similar to SunClan's with head warriors to help keep the order as well. I think this might be useful for a few out of game purposes more so than in game ones, and while I doubt there's much legitimacy to this suggestion, it's worth a thought.

I like that idea, lightning. 2 v 2 sorta situation going on with separate gatherings.

I agree that gatherings should be brought back, even if it is on separate fronts between allies. What end could their merging, if that happens, lead to?

I want gatherings, too.

I miss the gatherings ;-;

And to end the merging and push it back into isolation (If that's what's going to happen.) there could be a few cats who are against the alliance, and start to kill off some members from their "allies" and when one of the leaders finds out, forces those two clans to seperate again?

That would be nice, but what should we do about Flames tarde? She will be retiring this month. I think that she should be attacked openly in camp and die of wounds soon after. Some wounds are too bad to heal. If that happens, how should we deal with DawnClan? And, will NightClan still have prisoners? I really like the prisoners plot. Maybe the spies should just go back to their clans in the end of isolatuon.

I was tossing around some ideas and I was wondering; what would happen if a medicine cat was one of the ones captured by Kingfish and his followers? Meaning, what might happen if it was secret for a while, but discovered later on, after the cat was assumed to be killed or otherwise missing?

We could have a gatherings on the second and fourth weekends of the month, possibly?
I?m a little stuck on how nationalism would help them make allies with outside clans, if they?re so busy being big-headed about themselves, why would they go for outside help?
Hmm? we?ve had so many leaders being killed in DawnClan lately, maybe we can shake things up a bit by having her killed in a larger skirmish in the camp. I?m not sure how we?d get that started, things have been calming down there lately. We can start fanning up their fires again, the famine should be worse than ever.

I always thought the nationalists seemed focused on how much better things were in the past, and so would look to how things were run in the past around DawnClan's height with Hawkstar and such.
