How the Positions are Chosen

All high positions are chosen by the admins, mods, and appropriate high positions. Simply post on the list (here) and wait. If your character is chosen, you will receive a PM about your interest in the high position. If you are not chosen, then you will receive a PM with the information that another character has been selected for the position. At that point, your character will be removed from the list. You may post the character again should the position become available in the future.

As a member, you must fulfill certain requirements in order to be chosen for a high position. They are as follows:

• You must have been a member of AWRP for at least two months
  
• You must have at least 200 posts
  
• You must be active at least four days a week
  

If you already have a high position, you may have another. However, you cannot have...

• 2 leaders
  
• 2 deputies
  
• 2 medicine cats
  
• 2 medicine cat apprentices
  
• 1 leader and 1 deputy
• 1 medicine cat and 1 medicine cat apprentice
  

This leaves you with the options of having...

• 1 leader and 1 medicine cat
  
• 1 leader and 1 medicine cat apprentice
  
• 1 deputy and 1 medicine cat
  
• 1 deputy and 1 medicine cat apprentice

Should the leader and the deputy or the medicine cat and the medicine cat apprentice both go inactive to the point of account deletion, both characters in each set die, etc., then the next leader/medicine cat will be chosen OOC, and in-character, a cat from StarClan will go to them and announce their new position (as long as the RPer agrees to it). I highly doubt this will ever be the case.

If a medicine cat dies or their roleplayer leaves the forum, then in most cases, the medicine cat apprentice will be bumped up to medicine cat and potentially have their training finished either by their dead mentor or another StarClan cat. Due to the circumstances, no one involved has to pay for the StarClan mentor in the store. After the new medicine cat is promoted, a medicine cat apprentice will be chosen.[/ul]

Suggestion:

I think we should be able to create kits/apprentices/warriors with the innate want to become a MC or MCA. If too many people are creating them, I think it should be able to be bought in the store for $500.

Say I have an apprentice in SunsetClan. That apprentice has a physical disability (born, or not born with). They don't enjoy training as a warrior, because of this. This would open up a new candidate for the next MCA position, so there is not just one choice for the MCA.

[Midnight]

1. The only issue I see with being able to create them with an innate desire (I told you on the chatbox, but I'm posting it here so others see my reasoning) is that it's easy for the RPers of the medicine cats to message their friends, tell them that the MCA position is open, and have their friend make the application, then automatically choose them. There's already the possibility of that kind of bias tainting the deputy position without needing it spreading to the MCAs, too.

2. Paying for it wouldn't exactly be good, either (although you'll quickly learn that $500 is nothing around here), as it ruins the fair chance that everyone gets for having the MCA position.

3. As for the disabilities, they're incredibly rare (1 in 100, and even then, it's a roll chance that the kit gets it) in our litters, and anyone can make a cat with a disability, so it would be very easy to cheat the system with it.

I agree that it would make it interesting if there were more choices for MCA, but it would just make it like auditioning for the position again.

So, I'm a little confused now...

So in order for a cat to have the chance to qualify for an MCA position, they have to be born with an innate desire to be a medicine cat?

That is correct.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the kit boom that celebrates our new high position system is still going on!

We still need a medicine cat apprentice in one of the Clans (I won't spoil which : P), so keep up the MidnightClan and WhisperClan queens! I'd also take advantage of this if you have she-cats in any of the other Clans just to make sure that MidnightClan and WhisperClan don't get too far ahead in population.

[Midnight]

LeafClan officially needs a new medicine cat apprentice, so the rolls will begin for that, too!

[Midnight]

As of today, both medicine cat apprentice positions have been filled (WhisperClan's isn't fully decided, but we're just about there), and with that, the kit boom has ended.

[Midnight]

Update: WhisperClan's medicine cat apprentice is also taken now.

[Midnight]

Update: TalonClan has a new leader and is in search of a deputy. MidnightClan's medicine cat apprentice is being finalized.

Updated with MidnightClan's new medicine cat apprentice: Maplepaw, played by Rose.
