@amethyst

maybe our leaders could speak at a gathering together and realize they share a border?

@simon

@Purrfect
That could work, would you like to do it this gathering or the next? Also how would they figure out they share a border? Would it be the scent that is carried across?

@amethyst

that depends on if i finish my post before the gathering ends or not. i'll try to type as fast as i can!

@my clans

@Purrfect
It's okay! Take your time!

@Everyone
Briarclan has yet to receive an apprentice so I was wondering how everyone did their training system? I know there was a discussion about it once but it never really seemed to finish. I currently have mine set as 6 skills to be acquired (1 skill for each moon of training) and one skill can be learned as a 5 moon old kit if they try hard enough (though I plan on that being rare) Then I saw that there are many skills that can be learned, I think it was Art that made a list of them all and that got me thinking if I should have Briaclan have that randomize and they have a chance to get the double of the same skill (making them great at that skill) it might help with naming but I want to get other people's thoughts on this, or a different way of how someone else does this.

@ame My training system is fairly simple. If you're a warrior, your learn the three essential skills of hunting, fighting, and climbing, and have a chance to earn between one to three more skills (depending on the season). You can roll double of any skill, which would determine your warrior name. Then, you go to the Moonpool and if you pass the assessments (not passing will be extremely rare and reserved for troublemakers who have no business in being a warrior yet), you become a warrior. If you're a medicine cat, you first start out as a warrior apprentice, learn the three basic skills, switch, and then spend six more moons in training. This allows you to become good at the basic skills, slightly rarer skills (ex: tracking, fishing), and healing. Of course, if you roll double for a skill, then that helps determine your name too. Below is an example of the differences between four apprentices of mine (not canon...maybe):

Adderpaw: hunting, fighting, climbing, fishing, swimming --> Adderstream (excells at fishing/swimming)
Barleypaw: hunting (2), fighting (2), climbing --> Barleyfang (excells at hunting/fighting)
Boulderpaw: hunting, fighting (2), climbing, tracking --> Boulderclaw (excells at fighting)
Dustpaw: hunting (2), fighting, climbing, tracking, healing (3) --> Dustleaf (excells at healing)

@Simon

Does you or your mod use a random generator to decide what skills are learned though?

[Simonpet]

@ame: The mod chooses except for the first three skills. I always put in x training; (basic skill) the first three times before letting my mod choose from my archive's skill list. A canon example of a skill list was Acornnose's skills (hunting, fighting, climbing, tracking, stealth) and when I chose his name, Random.org chose to put tracking and stealth together, making his suffix -nose. The other possibilities I put in were hunting/stealth (-whisker), fighting/stealth (-claw), and climbing/stealth (-tail).

@ border talk - pineclan's mostly a coniferous forest! however their camp is settled right at the base of a mountain so theres some rocky terrain too

@ Dinolil1 - out of curiosity are you still interested in having aspen/rose have kits? i remember we discussed that when we first schemed this plot together. :^0

@ everyone - might be a little slow today, im working on something p big haha.

I'm still interested in that plot!

Also I'm going to restart Tumbleclan. Not going to completely wipe it, I'm going to integrate their destruction into the plot. When the rebels invade, the clan in confusion scatters. Blacknose, Dustclaw, Addercloud, the apprentices, Eagleclaw, Rosefur and Mudwhisker rise up. If there are anymore cats I should 'save', please tell me.


And as for the post archive, I'm going to do that but not according to my posts simply because my 1st ever posts have been deleted!

any feedback? i tried to include every cat in the clan.
