Plot Planning

Posted by Ember on July 30, 2015 at 12:50 AM

So, where do y’all want to take the plot from here?

I think that it’s about time that we have the medicine cats’ grip over MoonClan and DawnClan begin to crumble and judging from comments on the last plot planning entry I’m not alone in thinking this. How do you think that should go down, or would you prefer if we held off a while before transitioning back to traditional leadership?

Following the last gathering Frozenstar, Quickstar, and Ryestep were discussing attacking MoonClan. Their idea was to attack as quickly as possible and force them to surrender before DawnClan could arrive with back up. We could have something similar to that happen.

(Jay is sneaking on because she can.)

Maybe we could have one big thing that starts the downfall of the Medicine Cats? And then possibly a group of cats or a cat could gather the whole clan up by calling their own meeting and making a statement of some sort?
Orrrrr.... There is something that happens like a big battle, and the Medicine Cats are put in a position to where they can have their lives taken or something like that to save a cat??? But then they seem to dislike the idea, which means the other cat would be killed.

Only suggestions!

I may be biased, since I have one of those medicine cats, but I think the medicine cats should be in control for a good while longer, because the medicine cats plot is still getting stronger; and, may also be biased, cats are beginning to warm up to the new medicine cat leaders. They won't surrender their new clan life easy, especially when it means the pride of being Starclan's chosen clans will be taken from them.

My ideas for the battle- Nightclan feels too confident and too angry, and a few warriors start a riot to begin the battle. When Lynxstar attempts to quell them, she is jumped by multiple warriors and she loses a life, rendering her momentarily useless. The warriors decide to attack Moonclan first, sending a messenger to Sunclan on their way. They arrive at Moonclan after blundering about, full of wild and uncontrollable warriors who want revenge, and give themselves away before they get to Moonclan, giving Moonclan at least a little time to prepare their defenses. Nightclan attacks, though there's no clear leader in charge to guide them. Lynxstar chases after them and arrives to the scene of her chaotic clan being badly beaten, and before she has time to do anything about it she is pulled into it.

Sunclan arrives to see their allies being creamed, and they join, if hesitantly, the fight. Moonclan warriors fight even harder with their arrival, not caring to find out what was in store for them if they lost. They continue to fight until Moonclan is utterly devastated. When they begin to seek out Weepingtiger to demand the terms of defeat, Dawnclan arrives, and Sunclan and Nightclan are soon forced to retreat.

The final outcome is for Nightclan to be not only angry at Moonclan, but angry at Lynxstar as well, unjustly putting the blame for their loss on her. Sunclan is mad at their allies for their rash actions. Moonclan is full of wounded, and their camp is nothing but a bunch of broken twigs and shredded grass. Dawnclan sends aid to Moonclan, for they received very little wounds from the battle.

Sheesh, that was long! It was more like a story than a plot idea XD I hope the Lynxstar idea is okay, because I see she's going to die this month, and it would help her lose quite a few lives- Especially if her clan throws a rebellion against her, as the blame for the loss was set on her.

Okay, I think I'm done now. XD

I'm not exactly good with these things, but oh well!) Well, maybe, for the 'medicine cat-leader losing grip on their leadership' thing, the head warrior can plan with group of warriors to get their leadership back? (Sorry jay, X3) Or maybe the Warriors have had enough and they over throw the med cat- leader? And Ebony and Jay, I really like both of your ideas, but Jay, I just got a med cat and don't want to risk losing her (I am biased, I know)

@Lily Your Medicine Cat is in Nightclan. I doubt MC's and DC's Medicine Cat being overthrown will effect yours. X3

I like Ebony's idea. I think the NightClan riot would work, since NightClan still isn't used to the fact that they're now connected to StarClan, but I'm not sure about attacking Lynxstar, 'cause generally, NightClan cats are pretty loyal to their leader. However, since Lynx is retiring this month, I guess a few major things involving her and her Clan could work out.

I agree with Ebony about having the medicine cats in power longer than this, and I don't think it's a bias opinion. We need to give the plot more time to play out fully, it wouldn't make sense for everyone to suddenly be against the Medicine cats before they do anything bad, which they haven't really done yet. So far they've cured their clans, and won a battle for them. Even if they do lose a battle or two in the future, that's enough reason to lose the support of their clan, since MoonClan and DawnClan were obviously dissatisfied with the old leadership given how quickly the medicine cats were accepted into their new positions.

Give them some time to let the power go to their heads.

I've been wanting to do this with Weepingtiger for a while, but there hasn't actually been enough in rp disobedience for him to do anything drastic or harsh. For this to work out though, I need some people who are willing to have some pretty horrible things done to their characters, from maiming to killing.

For my idea of how this should play out, the events would go pretty much like this (for MoonClan at least, I don't want to say what Dawnswallow is or isn't willing to do) A small number of cats begin to speak up against the current system, profaning the name of StarClan and breaking parts of the new code. Weepingtiger, not wanting to appear weak, takes immediate and drastic action against them (this is where the horrible things such as maiming and death come in.) Of course some of the more moderate warriors in the clan would be appalled by this, but they would likely keep silent for a while just because the cats clearly broke part of the code, and they don't want to be next. These sort of actions continue, become worse and worse and eventually to cats who probably shouldn't have been punished, and a clear division appears in the clan between the moderate ones who really just wanted better leadership but don't want this kind of dictatorship, and the zealots who are in full support of what is happening and even take some pleasure in it. As time passes, fights can begin to break out between the two groups (probably most instigated by the zealots) until it appears that all control over clan life has been lost. Then, in an attempt to restore peace, the moderate warriors gather behind a specific warrior (who will become leader later) and the two sides wage a sort of civil war in the middle of the camp. At the end, Weepingtiger and the "zealots" lose, and all of them end up either killed, banished, or punished based on the severity of their crimes.

Having this much infighting in MoonClan would weaken them, and allow SunClan and NightClan to build up their own strength.

Angel: That is a pretty descriptive and great idea. I will make more cats in that clan, because I am willing to have my cats be through horrible things, just to let you know

I'm not saying that the Medcat's grip on the clans should fall now. I'm just suggesting ideas for when that happens.

I have an idea; whenever this was all starting to form, someone mentioned that a group would get tired of the Medicine Cats Rule and break off of the clan. This was the thought that came to mind; the two head warriors would get tired of all this, so, they offer that the cats that don't like the new leadership can come with them. There'd be two groups from DC and MC, seeing that both head warriors break off. If both head warriors break off: The two groups meet eachother in loner territory, hostile to one another due to fear of attack. But, the two groups finally talk, joining together. They then lead an attack on DC or MC, and win, and then they could force the Medicine Cats to step down. Then another attack would be planned for the clan that still has the Medicine Cats Rule. They would win that, too. This would all lead to the downfall of the Medicine Cats, and possibly some fun for anyone that has a cat disliking all this. X3 If only one head warrior breaks off; I truly don't know, and I am open for suggestions.

I don't think the head warriors should be the ones leading any new rebellion, since the clans already turned on them once. It should probably be a fresh face if someone in the clan is going to take leadership opposing the medicine cats.

I'd say that when the time comes, that small conflicts start in camp and they start to loose more and more battles. In the end, its going to be too much for some and it'll push everyone overboard.

I like Jay and angel's idea there all soooo good i have no important characters so the only bad thing that could happen is for them to die in a battle

I like Angel?s idea a lot, it will provide for a lot of action for every character in the clan as the two sides begin to separate. We can have both Ebony?s and Angel?s ideas working side by side, having NC and SC attack MC?s camp and lose after almost emerging victorious, would give the DC and MC medicine cats another reason to keep their clans in line.
I agree with Angel that the head warriors shouldn?t be the ones to lead the uprising, for the medicine cats to have come into power as easily as they did the head warriors couldn?t have had much support. Their clans had turned against them and even if the new leadership proves worse than the old one, they will want to turn to something more promising.

In accordance with Angel's idea, I know Clawpaw would join in with Weepingtiger, though in a much more suddle way. Her way of dealing with any rebellious warriors would be to slip them deathberries, then claim that Starclan had struck them down. She would feel no guilt, feeling that she was Starclan's instrument and that their will was being done through her. She'll be caught and killed eventually, perhaps at the same time as the Moonclan traitors. I don't know if Dawnswallow will be on board with her idea or if she'll do it behind Dawnswallow's back; we'll see in a second when Nightingale replies.

And when all the Starclan zealots (That's a cool word! :D) are killed, would there be a sort of Gathering to have a public execution, or would it be private? Or would only the main contenders be killed with everyone present or would everyone die at once or what?

One more thing- Could either Dawnclan or Moonclan become a sort of republic after this is over? Not trusting who would take over, they stage a election and vote for their new leaders?

Man, my ideas are just coming and coming! They're not necessarily good ones, but there's an abundance if you want more! XD

Just a thought ) Mabey you could have one of the med cats break a part of the warrior code or kill a cat that they have slight suspicions is aginst them. That cat is trusted throughout the clan so the clan hets mad and slowly turns on the med cat, is not openly, but in secret, eventually overthrowing them

So, we need to sort of plan out the battle for tomorrow now. MoonClan will lead an attack on NightClan due to th murder of Jaystar, but that's all that's planned out.

I like these ideas, and I agree with Angel and Ebony's ideas and think their good.Also, maybe, after a little while, the MC and DC head warriors might start to get a bit suspicious of the medicine cats, or maybe starting to realize that this isn't really right. and such, which would not be good for the medicine cats? I don't usually help with plot planning, so pardon me if this is a bad idea.

All right, so for the battle today this is my idea for it:
MoonClan and DawnClan attack NightClan, winning a clear and decisive victory before word is sent to SunClan for help. They could ask for Lynxstar's removal from power, and, just to asset their authority a bit more, DawnClan and MoonClan each take parts of NightClan's territory, actually extending into the city rather than claiming the outskirts.


For the other plot. In MoonClan, I was thinking that the time of the real division in the clan could happen around events sort of like this: Weepingtiger orders a horrendous punishment to someone he believes broke the new code, and as the punishment is being administered, a meteor shower starts. The cats in support of the new clan system take this as a good sign from StarClan, while the others take it negatively, a sign StarClan is unhappy with them. This would spark the initial chaos between the two sides. This, of course, wouldn't happen any time relatively soon, as we'd have to build to it.

I agree that the battle should be relatively quick and having SunClan not be able to join is a good way to do that. I don?t think having them ask for Lynxstar removed from power makes since, as she?s been having her clan start following the code and StarClan. The territory changes sound fine, though. However, I don?t know what areas DawnClan would want to take without digging into SunClan?s territory as well, DawnClan doesn?t currently share any borders with NightClan.
