Plotting votes

[jacob w.c.]

Hi guys! So we talked about plots awhile ago but never really decided on anything huge outside of titles and which ancestors to use and whatnot. Feel free to discuss plot ideas further in here, I just wanted to sort of narrow down our pool of ideas before presenting anything. Below I have a brief description of what each type of plot would be like.

Natural disaster: Any sort of natural disaster that causes substantial damage (avalanche, tunnels caving in, etc)
Sickness/poisoned food or water: This could affect members physically and mentally, it would just be a dangerous sickness that spreads.
Ancestors: These are the spiritual beings of Snowbound. This could be anything from a prophecy to Snowbound having to stop them from breaking into a war. We do already have a small Ancestor plot that's going to happen in the festival thread, which will hopefully be up today or tomorrow but that's just something that'll help establish future traditions and whatnot rather than a huge event that'll impact the whole clan with some sort of disaster or impending doom.

i don't know if anyone was on the old wcrpg circa 2012/2013, but basically a massive tornado destroyed skyclan's territory and they were forced to live in bloodclan's territory until they could find a new home. at the time, the two clans were enemies but territory destruction necessitated a temporary true and an eventual alliance. i thought it was really fun because the entirety of skyclan was in bloodclan's board and there was so much plotting going on. my own character had a forbidden romance plot thing going on which was really fun. i was thinking that we could possibly consider a similar situation since the site is still so small and it will improve interaction between clans.

Oooo I absolutely love that idea!! maybe the tunnels would cave in or something and they'd need to find somewhere else?? although rn I don't think they'd be able to move in with enemies because Jacob would probably just go to typhoon since they're the closest? also we don't have any enemies rn lol

[align=center][div style="max-width: 600px; text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; font-size: 9pt;"]yeah i figured it would have to be modified to fit the current situation but i thought it would be fun to get some interaction between clans. even if it was only for two weeks or something like that.

i definitely really like the idea! the only concern i'd have is if it'd be confusing for people who are coming in to join? unless we had a plot happening on this board at the same time that had to do with looking for the new territory/finding resources/looking for old things so that they'd still see new members?

[align=center][div style="max-width: 600px; text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; font-size: 9pt;"]yeah we'd probably have to have a notice on the board. also, we definitely could have several threads where people scavenge for resources or things not destroyed. we could also have an ongoing thread where it's a rebuild kind of thing except there's a list of tasks to complete, and the thread has to achieve "x" amount of posts or people have to complete "x" amount of tasks in the territory before the group can return. Like weekly tasks but focused on the rebuild whereas interaction threads and games and all that stuff would be in the typhoon. That way if there are always people present for the "rebuild" it makes sense why someone would be in the territory to direct newcomers to where everyone is staying.
