UPDATES

Auditions! Batears is the new medicine cat of WildClan! Everyone go congratulate Sousa if you haven’t yet <3 We also have one current audition for leader and zero auditions for deputy. Right now I’m going to leave the auditions open indefinitely – I would like at least two or more auditions for each position so we have more room to pick the best character. And besides, we have all the time in the world to kill of Badgerstar *cough*

Activity check! The activity check is over and all accounts that had not responded in time were deleted. All threads from those accounts have been moved to the graveyard. If your account was accidentally deleted, I apologize. Simply remake your account and I can move all of your posts back to where they were. Also! Everyone still around, make sure to go and check out the claim threads again to make sure everything’s as it should be! (For your convenience: NAME CLAIM and MEMBERS LIST.)

Missing notes! Related to the activity check: I have seen most people opting to say something in the cbox when they’re going to be gone instead of posting it in the missing notes board. I tried to work around all of these with the last activity check, but that will not be the case in the future – if you do not post a missing thread, then you cannot assume that we know you haven’t just poofed. That’s what that board is there for.

Patrols! July’s patrol list has been posted up HERE. Please check that link to see which patrol you have been assigned to – characters chosen as patrol leaders will need to start those threads asap. There are no requirements for these threads besides participating – the lists are randomized (besides avoiding making people thread with themselves), which means you might create plots with characters you never considered.

Gathering! The gathering will be started on August 1st! Attendance is mandatory for all clan cats – and if you have anything in mind that will make the thread more interesting (say you created a 6-moon-old apprentice and want to have this thread be their official ceremony *cough*), let me know! Important: We will not be automatically aging characters this gathering. For future gatherings, I will let you know ahead of time what the cut-off date is for accepted characters. (As in: “all characters accepted before [date here] will be aged up this gather” – unless there are related characters that do not fit this criteria.)

MOTM! CLICK HERE to go and vote for August’s Members of the Month! You don’t have to vote for every possibility, but I wanted to make them all available at the start.

Plots! I have started a thread over HERE for plot brainstorming. What does that mean? Just what it sounds like. Have plot ideas that you can’t think of a way to use? Post them there. Drawing a blank for something to do with your newest thread? Go steal an idea from there. However, one of the main things I wanted to do with this thread was see what we could do with the clan as a whole – natural disasters, fights with other animals (ie: foxes, badgers, dogs), inner turmoil? I don’t want staff to be the only ones involved in the plots that affect everyone; so it’s up to all of you!

Site store! You all get yet another LINK. I’m trying something different with the store, so we’ll see how it works xD All explanation for how it works is tucked away in that thread <3

And that is finally everything!
