OOC

The place for a little bit of everything!
The OOC board is, well, multi-purpose! Members can post freely here and the majority of site-related content will be posted here as 'announcements,' while general chatting goodness is encouraged to take place over on our Discord server.

Plot-trackers and to-do lists can also be posted here. Events such as "Quarterly Highlight" nominations and voting, site-wide plots, Casanova nominations and site-wide changes (such as a rule update) will also be posted here. You may use the 'key' below to colour-code your posts!

New Layout + Some Changes!

Hi guys!

You can probably see that he new layout is up and running! There's likely to be some bugs, so please let me know if you do find any! I'm aware of some at the moment (e.g. the 'Roam' page scaling strangely on phone!) and will work through them as I can.

However, I wanted to get it up and running for the new year! So, please do excuse that it's still a little bit of a WIP!

Currently, I still need to change/fix the Pack Header images and create images for Maps etc but most of these fixes are just cosmetic, so I thought they weren't big enough to hold the update back!

But where are things like OTMs?
They'll return once we have the 'nominees!' They've been changed to 'Quarterly Highlights' for the time being. The nominations are in a thread below!

We've also lowered our general board count, removing boards such as the 'Hangman' game that weren't being used.

There are also some small rule changes below! I'll list them below, but in general, they aren't major and should just make things a little 'easier' on people.

i. Puppies born in Moladion may be reclaimed, or adopted out to other members, by the parents' player/s if the following requirements are met: goes inactive (not active within 3 months); is less than 2 years old; has been posted less than three times; was not created by using a Custom Stat or +1 (unless the prize/s were purchased/donated/split in payment by other players). If the puppy's player goes inactive or on an indefinite hiatus, the parents may reclaim the pup at any time (using discretion!)

ii. Players are allowed to play multiple alphas. However, we ask that players refrain where possible in order to let other players have an opportunity to play such roles.

iii. Alphas must post at least once every fortnight. Posts can be on any board. In the event that an alpha does not post, and is not away, the pack will be placed up for claim by a pack member. If an alpha does not post but in the middle of challenge (on the "Fight" board), they will not be considered inactive.

iv. If the player of an Alpha is 'Away' for less than 2 weeks, the pack will be closed to challenges for that time.

v. If an Alpha is 'Away' for more than two weeks, another wolf may be designated as a 'temporary Alpha' who can accept and fight challenges.

That's pretty much it rules-wise! We just wanted those that play alphas to feel less 'cornered' into posting just their alpha characters, and wanted to put less stress on the idea of running a pack in general.

So, everybody!
Hopefully you enjoy the new layout, and hopefully it will be in tip-top shape real soon! Thanks for being patient while the changes rolled through. There are some other small changes that I've added below too!

Active Hiatus
An 'Active Hiatus' is the same as a normal Hiatus, only that you can provide additional information that players can use to keep your hiatused characters semi-active in the IC environment. So, instead of a character simply 'roaming off' or being absent, you can set perimeters that other players can include in their posts (of course, power-playing etc cannot take place!)
Some examples might be...

Wolf X is a healer in Iromar, but is being hiatused. "Wolf X is in Iromar, healing as they usually do and often foraging for herbs and other useful items. They will tend to small wounds, and are busy providing extra food for all the new mums. Players can now include in their posts that their wolves were healed by Wolf X, given some food, or saw them getting herbs. These small actions can keep the character active in a sense and provides other characters with an explanation of where they've been.

Another example might be that Wolf Y is a loner who is being hiatused. "Wolf Y has receded to the Grotto where he will stalk and follow any wolf he deems as easy prey." Players can choose to 'use' this hiatus as a premise. Perhaps their puppy character was followed by a mysterious wolf who they had to outsmart to escape, or perhaps an adult felt an unnerving presence during a snowstorm but managed to shake it off.

Active hiatuses help build characters, the world, and to keep characters that are hiatused 'alive' in the game! But it is a new concept, so we'll work through any issues that arise as a team, guys!

Epitaph Notes
A 'Notes' section has been added to characters on the Epitaph. This is a very small blurb about something major regarding their rule, such as how they acquired or lost their pack (in the instance of 'tragic deaths') or perhaps something they achieved during their rule. I've been 'auto-generating' notes, but if you have a wolf on the epitaph (or know something I've missed!), you can message me on Discord or post on the Updates board!
