Plot Planning

Hi guys! If you haven’t yet, please check out the last Plot Planning Page and the History Page, which was updated on the 25th.
As Ripple pointed out on the EarthClan Camp thread, there seem to be a whole bunch of disconnected side plots going on right now. Ideally, we can talk here about how to wind some of those side plots together to aid the overall plot.
As well, we need to decide what to do about the meeting between MoonClan and SunClan scheduled to take place in 14 in-game days. This doesn’t necessarily need to be 14 out-of-game days.

That could definitely work for MoonClan, Mocking. Some cats could die, but there would also be a lot of injuries, so the more serious ones could put a lot of cats out of commission.
I like Mockings idea as it won't slow everything down with disease, and just like I predicted we're now spending lots of time trying to figure out how a famine works best and realistically. Two-legs interfere with Sunclan and Moonclan deals with other invaders, which in the long run should help MC Warriors in battle experience, those who live obviously.
A pack of wild dogs would certainly work. They?re a danger for humans, let alone cats, and it would be quick enough to have them attack and then move on with the EarthClan attack.
That does leave the question, though, of why MC and SC would be confident enough to continue to go after EarthClan. Maybe EarthClan could appear to have grown weaker somehow? Or have become stronger, unbeknownst to MC/SC?
(And, yes, Henry xD that's how the plot planning page works. We take our sweet time picking apart ideas.)

Exactly. So the injured cats obviously won't fight or will be easily defeated in a large scale battle. Like Henry stated, it could definitely help with their battle experience as well as character development on a more individual scale.
EarthClan could realize from patrols that SunClan is looking thinner, and MoonClan patrols can be more scarce or have injured cats. So they can seize the opportunity to withdraw from the borders and perhaps let the scent fade, giving false hope to SunClan, MoonClan and the rebels that they too have grown weak.

Wouldn?t EarthClan be more interested in keeping peace at that point? Unless they did get a surge of strength, that is. Or maybe not? We could have them get rather cocky, as we had planned before with the border skirmishes, and set up the ambush plot rather than waiting for MC and SC to attack on their own. Maybe they could provoke SC and MC into attacking?
If they started stealing the rabbits left from the two legs, Desolate would react with a battle. She'd be beyond negotiation if they were crossing the borders and stealing prey. If we add border skirmishes to that as well, she has more than enough reason to go after them. Especially if they have faded borders and are stealing prey since that indicates either weakness or straight disrespect.
Now the only trick would be getting MoonClan on board with an attack.

That all sounds good, but, if Foxfur found out about his clan stealing prey or provoking the other clans he would seriously not be be happy. He doesn't want war and he won't try causing a battle, especially if it could cause serious injuries or even death unless it was necessary. He can get too confident, but he won't let that get in the way of protecting his clan, so he won't throw his clan into a deadly battle because he was too cocky. But, if Foxfur was pushed enough he would intentionally hurt the other clans. Not to kill them or drive them out, but to send a message to say "stop messing with us". Perhaps, MC and SC could pick on EC and have some border skirmishes like y'all said. If it started getting out of hand, and with Foxfur having the knowledge of the future attack, Foxfur would intentionally deceive MC and SC into thinking they were weak and lead them into a trap to get them to stop messing with his clan. That will be the only thing that would make him intentionally cause a dangerous battle.
That makes sense Ginger ^^ Since NightClan likes to taunt and provoke, maybe they can taunt the patrols of SC and MC and the patrols go after them?
Yeah, Foxfur won't get too cocky but his clanmates can. They can be confident that they're stronger than SC and MC which causes SC and MC to attack when provoked. He will be angry with his clan, but once it got out of hand he would lead the other clan into a trap. Most likely if MC and SC started attacking without provocation.
I just updated the planned events section. Does it look alright to you guys, or did I miss something?
It looks good to me 
and also, Hawthornclaw is free for an arranged mateship. He was made after the creation of EarthClan, but I'm pretending he had been there before then. So we can pretend he used to be a DawnClan tom if that's alright.

Cool, we can try pushing him and Rustfeather together. I'd prefer to keep their potential litter open, so any member can make one, though. Rustfeather is a part of my line of DC she-cats going directly back to DC's founder's mate.
Oh wow, that's cool Ember! I hope I can keep a line that long XD and alright, pairing Hawthornclaw with Rustfeather sounds good to me. I don't know if I'll be able to take any kits, though. I can have more but I don't want to exceed 15 characters due to me being unable to keep up with any more, but I am planning on getting rid of some more characters so I hope I can have at least one kit.
(In response to posts from the Gathering and Battle Planning Page)
Kingfish, why would the humans be going after the prey? More likely, they'd be going after the feral cat population itself. That also links this plot back to the raid on NightClan's camp a while back.
Pallet, that would be great, especially for members who miss the initial gassing. Maybe the cats could try eating the poisoned rabbits and get sick, as well?
Shadowtail, I'm assuming you'll be on vacation, so have fun! Don't worry about missing things on here, real life always goes first.
Lunar, I agree with Elm. I don't think we should try to make much of a place for Stonestory in this plot, it's already so complicated. Unless it would somehow work to weaken MoonClan and you're sure you can keep it going without slowing down or complicating the current plot?
Honey, that's what we've been working out here. One possible good thing about having the gathering first could be that EarthClan colud pretend to be weak then, forcing MC and SC to act soon before the opportunity passes. That does lose the aspect of having border skirmishes (unless there have already been some happening? If so, someone speak up. I've barely been keeping up with the site lately with how busy work as been.), though.

In all honesty, I think there is too much going on in MoonClan right now as it is, and having Stonestory's thing would only complicate things, at least for MoonClan, further.
And maybe a few brace souls taste the rabbits before bringing them back to camp? To test it supposed they saw the two legs committing the crime. I could offer Grasseater as one of the cats to test it, and maybe Wolfhowl or Cinderpaw.

To Pallets idea of having cats taste the prey first
I think that would help weaken SunClan instantly. There would have to be quite a few to get sick, though. I can have Anput and/or Tazmaniantwister eat the rabbit as well to test it.

I have Leopardfrost who can eat some and Briarwing who can test as well if that's alright?
Perhaps the cats that try the gassed rabbits could announce that they're fine and pass the prey along to the rest of the camp?
Gingerheart, we should probably just leave that to whoever's online when this happens.

Sorry, I'm just trying to make my characters have an impact. I failed to do that with FlintFlick so I'm trying again. Sorry, not meaning to try to take the spotlight or anything -just trying to participate.
No worries, we aren't upset with you or anything. Maybe he could have something to do with strengthening EarthClan somehow? Their plot is less crammed.

Oops, you forgot something.
