Hey all, suggestions are below! I'll probably have more later, but here they are for now...
Planned Patrols
The Clans in the books all have planned hunting and border patrols. I think this would be a good idea to have a post every weekly or bi-weekly with a list of the cats who need to go on specific patrols. If a character is not present in the patrol, they are set as inactive in the Clan list and aren't placed on any further patrols or given a mentor/apprentice, etc until they make an in-character explanation as to why they weren't present.
I think this would be a good idea as it would force people who may not usually rp together to do so, and break out of the aimless or mate-searching threads that seem rampant. It would also help give the Clans a bit more rhythm and bring the roleplaying a bit more back to the basics of survival -- hunting and protecting their borders make up a large part of the Clan cat lives, and a lot of quality rp can be had.
Now, some might be thinking "That's a lot of organization..the leaders are already super busy! Au contraire! In the books, it was up to the deputy to organize the patrols. I think it would be good if the deputies of the Clans were in charge of organizing the patrols, as well as keeping a list of active Clan members. This would also help promote the choosing of an active deputy.
Shared Borders
A lot of times in the books, two border patrols will meet. I think this can be a fun dynamic to rp. If there were more boards in-between each of the Clan boards (such as MidnightClan and StormClan border, etc) where the border patrols could meet and patrol, it may make more sense. This would also make more sense with all of the forbidden relationships...much easier for them to meet on the border rather than a cat just so happen to be waltzing through the middle of a different Clans' territory.
Sidebar Info
It might be handy if some information was placed in another sidebar block...such as the current season, date of next gathering, maybe a link to the current site plot, etc? Could make it easier for new members to help jump right in and make sure they are roleplaying correct seasons and at least somewhere on the loose timeframe.
Okay...that's it for now, please let me know your thoughts!
