Plot Planning

Posted by Ember on January 23, 2017 at 12:00 AM

Hello everyone!

If you haven’t yet, please read over the planned events section of the history page. I haven’t gotten the chance to update it since last week, so there are references to Lightningstar disappearing and Floodheart taking her place, but other than that the information still stands.

The plot seems sufficiently planned out for now, but I worry that the SunClan arc could be made stronger. There’s been very limited tension between Icestar and Jaguargaze supporters, so we could possibly drop that thread and try something else in SunClan. MoonClan has also been quiet recently and while that may pick up when they are attacked by NightClan and DawnClan, I’d love to hear any suggestions for plots there.

As an aside for everyone with cats traveling between DawnClan and NightClan, please do not record these movements on the Character Updates page. Since all of the characters will still be considered members of their original clans and are only temporarily staying with the other clan, there’s no need for them to be moved on the pages.

She might have to make that speech brief before someone tries to tear out her throat, but otherwise that sounds like a great plot-- it'll really put SunClan in a worse position. xD

Are we still going with the idea of Sandfoot dying of illness?

Does anyone have a character/characters that can give a life at the Moonstone by the way? (Sorry for asking on short notice also.)

I don't see any problem with Sandfoot dying.

Sure, I can PM you a few possible lives Ripple. Pick your favorites :)

How would everyone feel about possibly merging the leadership of DawnClan and NightClan? It would strengthen the alliance, and be easily justifiable after the murder of Lightningstar at the paws of a SunClanner. If this works well in DC and NC, it could later be expanded to SC and MC.

Any initial thoughts/ reactions?

Just to clarify, the merge would not be permanent and the clans would return to their separate identities when the alliance ends.

What would the power balance be like between the two? Would the leaders have equal say, or would one dominate? How would the deputies act? Medicine cats? Who would be in these positions? I don?t think it would work well for half the positions to be cut, partially out of fairness to members in those positions and partially because it would put so much stress on the singular, say, deputy or medicine cat, not to mention it could require a page merge that would later be an absolute nightmare to untangle.

In order to assure that they would be in contact, NightClan and DawnClan could take the Burnt Woods from SunClan, which would only further drag SunClan into the conflict on MoonClan?s side while weakening the MoonClan/SunClan alliance by making communication between the two difficult.

Maybe the two merged Clans could have access to the other Clan's territories and camps, sort of like a come and go type thing?

I assumed that they would convene around a new camp and treat their territories as one, instead of just having an open borders policy. DawnClan's camp would appear to be safer, probably, since NightClan's camp just got raided by two-legs.

I think with the merged clans, leaders would have to run it similar to a joint-operation in the military; two leaders would have to agree with one another on topics that concerned the whole entity, but other wise, would run their own clans with their own customs. Deputies would have less power than they do now in singular clans. As for medicine cats, they would probably work as a team, more paws making work light, plus, they would be able to train apprentices easier as there would be multiple sources of information.
The downfalls, of course, would be that if a leader makes a decision for their own clan that interferes with the other clan, it could cause ruffled feathers, if not an outbreak of violence, though would be unlikely if the leaders wish to work it out. For the medicine cats, the issue could be that if one medicine cat is better than the others, they monopolize the practice, and if they dislike a cat from the other clan, they can influence the other medicine cats to kill the wounded warrior inadvertently, though that is also unlikely unless we wind up with an evil medicine cat.

Okay so me and Averiyator have been talking and we think that a good idea is that once Creeksplash takes over, she forces herself into an arranged mateship with one of my cats, Tiger. This could be one of the steps that lead to the merged clan

Ember and Ripple have already agreed to Panther's idea, so it's more of like a heads-up.

I don't have any trouble with that, but to have it make sense with the plot Tiger will likely have to become one of NightClan's most prominent members.
