What would be your dream Summer Event theme??

[After Hours]

At some point we have gotta do warrior cats, you could do all four clans and starclan as well

We can't do Warrior Cats, the reason why CS can't make any more of them is because they ran into copyright trouble with HarperCollins, the publishers.

That's so aggravating I don't see how they can copyright that but won't copyright fanmade ones:( Is there a way around it? like making up your own clans, could we do that? or still no?

I think we could do that (someone correct me if I’m wrong)!
I’m mad we never got a Squirrelflight or Ashfur sitting cat in CS

Tess's actual statement on this issue can be found here.

Tldr; the cat designs weren't what was copyrighted, as the Warrior Cats are just natural cat designs. Some of them are unique enough to be instantly recognizable as a certain character (like Braveheart and Scourge), but a lot of them are just cats. The issue was that they were officially labeled as Warrior Cats, with the characters' names included, when they were released. As the books' author and publisher did not consent to the use of the Warrior Cats branding and official character names, that is why they asked them to take them down. As for why they stopped releasing the sitting cats in general, it was because they wanted a new, growable cat lineart, and the release of it just happened to line up with the Warrior Cats creators reaching out about the copyright.

Keep in mind though that the fact that the Warrior Cats are just natural cats is the only reason why CS didn't land in more serious legal trouble. If they had released something like Pokemon, or Disney characters, or Nintendo characters, they would've gotten sued into the ground. It's probably better to just not do a "Warrior Cats" event, even if it is technically doable, because it would just lead to more confusion about what CS can/can't do due to copyright. There's already a lot of suggestions on this thread not understanding that certain themes are off-limits due to copyright that further prove my point.

I guess we can't do made-up clans either...

[C o o k i e]

Valhalla, Viking settlement with long boats that travel to England, Scotland, and Ireland. Exploring the World tree and all the creatures that reside in Norse Mythology.

Exploring ancient Greece, Mount Olympus, the underworld, battling the Titans.

A health retreat: learning about self-care, meditation, yoga, recharging, mindfulness, unplugging, gratitude, Hot springs, hot rock massage, reiki healing, chakra healing, different rejuvenating masks, saunas, ice baths, low impact stretching and workouts, healthy eating, holistic herbs(hedge witchery)

Ancient Rome and Roman Mythos/ Exploring Italy through history

Cruise ship Trip

Trip into a Book of Fair Tales and the quests are based on major plots of the story.

Exploring a Farm town village being tormented by a dragon and we get to explore the dragons lair, dwarvin mountains surrounding it and the village, the forest on the outskirts and maybe the capital city of the king, think LOTR/DND

Exploring an animal rescue center that helps all injured animals and rehabilitates them be for releasing in to the wild if possible, if they can't be reintroduced into their natural habitat for what ever reason then they have a as close to natural habitat they live out their days in. Maybe they conduct endangered species repopulation projects i.e. breeding projects to protect healthy offspring and return them to the wild as they age and are able to take care of themselves. Also to bring awareness to rabies vaccines for all pets/strays/feral and spay release projects when dealing with feral cat colonies.

A cloud city ruled by Pegasus and winged lions and we travel through the clouds to other cities meeting other winged creatures.

Im new to Chickensmoothie but I love the idea of a Viking event. I'm really into Viking culture, this could also be an educational event too.

I also love mythology and an event revolving around mythology would be awesome.

But I also love the idea of a kawaii event or Japanese themed event as I love both as well.

I'd say a Scooby-doo event would be elite! But it would run into copywrite infractions. Oh we could do a mystery event that's inspired by Scooby-doo but completely different, I'm unsure if that would work or not.

Possibly an event with different Holidays, like that in The Nightmare Before Christmas would be cool or going to different seasons.

I had an idea what of the world's biggest pet fair lol

[M-I-W]

A Rock Show

Users can do fanfics with their own clans no problem - it becomes an issue when you start making money off it! The problem with CS making warrior cats is that CS is a money-making site, it has premium currency to buy with real $ and thus, gets money from users. That money cannot be earned using someone else's trademarked characters - if a rights owner sees someone taking money off characters they own, they have all rights to sue.

That explanation also applies to everyone suggesting copyrighted materials - that is the reason why copyrighted themes cannot be added!

Yessss! I am all in for Camping For Cryptids! In a Forest theme maybe with a map that has places like,Main Forest, Snowy Mountains, Lake, Marsh, Cave, etc. And learning about the Legends and Lores about the Cryptids. An adventure where you are at a campsite and go seeking for a cryptid and gathering information and stumble across items and animals while doing so. Each place that is being explored has a few Cryptids hiding, such as Sasquatch, Mothman, Yeti, Nessie, Jackalope, Chupacabra, The Jersey Devil, Death Worm,Thunderbird and maybe even the Not Deer! Among others.
Also maybe a Baking/Desserts/Candy Theme? Kind of Like CandyLand meets Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory!
Or Maybe something like Grimm's Fairytales Theme? 0-0
An Old West Theme where you have to find an Outlaw? With a Saloon,Robbers Robbing A Train,etc.... A Museum Theme? Different Decades Theme where each part of the map is a different year such as 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's. Can have clothing,toys,games,inspired with pets,clothing/items on pets,items for pets.

It may have already been said, but a welcome to wonderland event would be awesome. Going through the original story and the looking glass.

NPC: white rabbit that is leading you through the story.

You can have flower pets in the garden area.
Collectibles could be pieces of a clock that enable you to get the "white rabbit".
Turn in hats for pets from the mad hatter and friends.
Neon mushrooms, and such from the Cheshire cats forest. Which could include 2 rarer pets of tweedle de and dumb.
Find chest pieces to get pets based on the card deck ace-kings etc. To get the red queen, rusted/white knight.

Banner pet: jabberwocky dragon base.

And at the end you are trying to free Alice stuck behind a looking glass in a cave that could lead to more mthical beings etc.

((I'm not as intoned to looking glass storyline as I am the OG story))

I really love this idea. I've been wanting more card dogs honestly and it would be a perfect way to get some!
