Clan Leaders should post summaries!

[Deleted]

I feel like it would be a good idea for the leaders of the clans to post summaries at the end of each week of things that happened. It would be soooo helpful for people to keep up with what is going on in the clan! Also it would show that they are being as active as they are suppose to be Just an idea!

I agree with this idea too! It would be helpful

I wouldn't say that things happen enough for this to be plausible. Pretty much anything that happens isn't really worth mentioning, such as this mentor taking their apprentice training, these two cats becoming mates, someone's pregnant, etc., and on that note, if these were humans in towns or something, I wouldn't consider half of that anyone else's business.

Also, leaders can't always be active, sorry. Some have jobs, school, even both, and are busy human beings that sometimes don't even have the muse/time to make it to the gatherings. I have no intention on forcing this on them. The leaders and I try our best to choose deputies that can fill the leadership position well if necessary, but really, I don't expect too much because I understand how it can get. Of course they should be active, but hell if I control their lives and am able to enforce it.

I understand there isn't always stuff happening. but for like big things it would be nice to know like when a leader disappears, or a new leader is being promoted. Or if there was a badger attack or something. I also get that people are busy. I am too! but just like on occasion it would be nice to have something that said what was going on in the clans. (Besides the gathering). Like a general post. Just a very short summary by anyone really, doesn't even have to be a leader. Its just hard to follow things that are happening and make your own roleplay fit into the clan. Reading the bird battle, and the gathering is great but like you said not everyone has time. The bird battle was like 6 pages. And the gatherings are very long.

For instance if at the end of the bird battle if there was a tally that said, here is who died from what clan and here are the injuries. Which clan was effected the worse etc.

These are just ideas I wanted to throw out there

Ah, but you said weekly, not just with the things that are huge. Huge things are generally posted about, like the bird-related stuff being posted in the Plot Station back in October when it first started. There was a post there about when the bird battle was starting. Beyond that, if you wanted to know what happened, all you really had to do was skim a bit or ask the roleplayer whose character/s you were curious about.

The gatherings are 99% warriors/apprentices talking or bickering and 1% news. Just scroll through until you find a post from one of the leader's RPers and read the news from those.

I can't really tell what Clan was affected the most only because in a way, it'd be powerplaying unless I got the specific info from each RPer, because maybe I don't have the time to read through the 6 pages, as you mentioned. I'd then have to get answers from everyone, which isn't likely to happen.

You really don't have to make your RP posts fit into a whole lot. Most of the forum is honestly pretty free-plot considering the current main one isn't moving too quickly due to my own lack of muse. If there was a badger attack, hell, you could say your character was out hunting once you found out about it. Doesn't really matter to me.
