Plot Planning

Posted by Ember on March 4, 2017 at 1:40 AM

Hi everyone! If you haven’t yet, please read over the last few pages of the last Plot Planning Page or check on the Planned Events section of the History Page to catch up on what we already have planned.

Before we get too much further into the planned plot, I want to make sure we’re all on the same page about what the next few weeks or months will look like, particularly in regards to the NightClan-DawnClan merger.

To set a few ground rules: the merge won’t be permanent, the pages won’t be merged, and there won’t be only one member in charge of the entire merged clan.

We could, however, shake up how the leadership is organized. 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. That said, we could have the two leaders with a council of cats who have different functions (deputies would be in charge of organizing the day to day activities of the clan, medicine cats would maintain most of their duties, then we could add on elders in keeping an eye over the camp and providing advice). A plan like that would allow members without an official chosen position to have some influence on the clan from their elders or medicine cats, which would allow the most active and interesting characters to rise to the top of future chosen leadership positions.

As well, I’m curious as to what we’re going to do with Creekstar and Tiger’s arranged mateship. If Tiger took a prominent place in NightClan’s council- or whatever we decide on- it could work , but if it is an actually arranged mateship it would make more sense if Creeksplash became mates with Ricochet.

Also, what should the alliance be called?

All thoughts are welcome :)

Lostsoul (21 mins. ago):
But thats just me
MorningBreeze (21 mins. ago):
I mean if a bunch of cats will stay behind it will form a clan of cats..
Silverwind (20 mins. ago):
I doubt that it would be a legit clan, just cats stuck in their old ways. The traditional ways of DawnClan.
Silverwind (20 mins. ago):
Well, at least the Nationalist ways. If that makes sense?
Ember123 (20 mins. ago):
The idea was that the precedent set by sharing queens and prey would have tied them together more, but that's been a struggle. I'm honestly a bit on the fence about the plot too, but it's something new and members seemed to support it on the plot planning page. (Though if enough member speak up that they've changed their minds, we don't have to go through with it)
MorningBreeze (20 mins. ago):
Yes, Dawnclan will stay!
MorningBreeze (19 mins. ago):
Its nice to have a major plot....but
Lostsoul (17 mins. ago):
Id like a new 5th clan. Thatd be cool but seeig how close Jet and Blue were together and it didnt cause Earthclan... ehhh
Henry490 (16 mins. ago):
Yeah, it honestly doesn't make sense. Wouldn't clan cats say no to moving anyway, since Dawnclan camp is their home?
Henry490 (16 mins. ago):
Nightclan camp too
Lostsoul (16 mins. ago):
I agree ^
Silverwind (15 mins. ago):
Ditto (not the Pokemon Tongue )
Lostsoul (15 mins. ago):
Lol, Silver.
MorningBreeze (14 mins. ago):
Since the plan is rolling so slowly im kinda getting iffy on why. We are merging clans...thats only me.
MorningBreeze (14 mins. ago):
I mean wouldnt the DC cats stand up for their own?
Lostsoul (13 mins. ago):
Everyone is usually not on at the same time which is why its moving slowly. Most of the staff and senior members are like 16+ and have college, jobs etc
Ember123 (13 mins. ago):
At the least, even if we go through with it but a bunch of members and characters aren't going ahead, I wont merge the pages under the assumption that the plot will stick too long. /// Its unlikely we'll have a fifth clan, the difficulty we've had with finding leaders for the current four clans is what prompted Lightning to suggest the merge in the first place.
Ember123 (13 mins. ago):
but, as always, PLEASE, post your thoughts to the plot planning page. If I don't know what members are thinking, I'll just assume-- and am almost always wrong.
Lostsoul (11 mins. ago):
Anyone up to roleplay any?
Silverwind (10 mins. ago):
You want me to copy this stuff and post it on the plot planning? I don't mind. / @Lily, which Clan? Carnationkit and Pantherkit in NightClan aren't really the best cats at socializing, but meh, they should probably be used before they shrivel up and rot in their solitude XD
Lostsoul (10 mins. ago):
Well I can use my twins or Brokenkit. Shes really mean and sassy though.
Ember123 (10 mins. ago):
I don't mean to sound aggressive or rude, but it always feels like I'm fighting an uphill battle getting members to share their thoughts on the plot-- I didn't realize people were so on the fence about the DawnClan merge and would like to know if I'm wasting my time and making the roleplay worse by coordinating it. // I need to get ready for class, sorry. // Silver, sure, that sounds good.
Lostsoul (9 mins. ago):
Sorry ember
Silverwind (9 mins. ago):
Carnationkit is a bit sassy, but cold. And has this strange fascination with blood... :/ And okay (almost put oaky xD
