I had so much fun with my friends and got to meet a few celebrities there. I have returned home safe and sound and going to rest up before getting back to normal life.  :)

Forum Discussion / Did You Read the Post?
« on: July 07, 2014, 09:04:22 pm »
Does it ever urk you when someone doesn't read the topic or a post on a discussion, and they post a response or something that isn't even relevant to the topic or a post someone made? Sometimes I see someone make a reply to a post and I think, "Did they even bother to read that post?" It's rare, but it happens.

Here is one example I found on the forum. Names were not included.

Okay, so what message are you trying to convey? I understand that you are trying to say that we can make a difference, but how? You say we CAN make a difference, but we don't because we're 'lazy'. The staff may be doing what they can, but what exactly can we do? If I may ask, what have you been doing?

If you are trying to make a judgement here, please realise that you're having the horrible thinking.
I have been doing a lot of things floof, for example: markings. I have done some a few months ago just to update the markings and some maps. Many more. I understand that you might disagree, but you aren't understanding the fact that they are tired. The only thing you care about is what I have written here. I am not the one responsible to tell you how to make a difference, you should figure out yourself because there are more than 100 brains on Feralheart.
No heart feelings, this is your opinion.

I won't say what topic it came from, but it didn't end well. It was clear that the person in the yellow text didn't read the post they quoted.

One other example is when I read the user intros in the Introduction section. It's great to see some new members coming into Feral Heart and introducing themselves. Sometimes we will get intros from members who are NOT new to Feral Heart but new to the forum. Even if they said they been playing FH since it first came out and read the rules and know their way around, some people still post all the links to the rules, manual, DA page, ect. Um... I know you're being nice by saying hello, but didn't they just clearly say that they aren't new NEW to Feral Heart? Was going through all the trouble to post all the links and explain to this person who's been playing for 2 years the ways of Feral Heart necessary? Did you even read the intro?

Keep in mind, I'm not trying to say that people who post something that isn't relevant to the topic or as a response to a post are stupid. I just think some people need to be more attentive to what they are reading. I've seen topics and discussions that had blown up in smoke because someone didn't read, or didn't understand what a poster was saying.

What are your thoughts on this?

Game Discussion / Unusual Prey
« on: July 02, 2014, 07:23:42 pm »
We've probably seen roleplayers do some unusual prey hunting that is so unrealistic it's funny.  :D
I've come across roleplayers who are RP hunting and the prey they go after is an animal that their species can't really take down in the wild. Some funny examples would be....

~A fox hunting an elk and dragging it back to the fox family.
~A pack of 3 stray dogs hunting a moose.
~A puppy hunting a dragon.
~A single warrior cat hunting down a deer to feed the clan.
~A warrior cat hunting down a bald eagle... wut?
~A fox kit hunting and eating pink spiders.... I don't even :D

Those are some cases I've seen. What's even funnier is when they claim it's realistic.
What do you think? Have any similar funny unusual prey stories to share?

Game Discussion / The Negative Character Encounters. Is it Getting Old?
« on: May 25, 2014, 11:14:37 pm »
Out in the game, my characters have encounters with other characters of different species. But most of the times, it always comes up in some kind of negative way. I would just be walking along as a coyote when I come across a couple of lions, when suddenly one of them says, "My parents were killed by coyotes when I was just a cub."... Really? That's such a tragic story. Did it take you three seconds to come up with that?

One of my most recent encounters was when I was on my grey fox character Abigail. She encountered a roleplaying group of common red foxes, and the situation went on like this...
(Names were made up since I can't remember the actual names)

Abigail Grey Fox: Abigail trotted along when she noticed the familiar scent of fox musk in the air. She started following the scent, wondering what kind of fox family it was.

Kelly Fox: *Goes down by the water to fish*

Angela F Fox: "Oh look. Here comes another fox!" she said happily.

Kevin M Fox: Hm? *stares at the grey fox*

Abigail Grey Fox: "Oh... they are red foxes," she thought to herself. She stopped in her tracks and timidly moved back a few steps.

Kevin M Fox: A grey fox, eh? Grey foxes killed my parents and all my siblings when I was just a pup.

Abigail Grey Fox: (....) Not wanting to bother with the red foxes, she started trotting off in another direction.

At that point I was like, "Really?" His character bio said otherwise. And not only that, grey foxes are too small compared to red foxes. There's no way a grey fox can kill a red fox... unless it's a full grown grey fox against a red fox kit.
Why is it that when some people encounter an animal of a different species, they all of the sudden say things like "My parents/siblings/mate/best friend was/were killed by a ____!" Do they do it just to start conflict, or what? I don't mind a little bit of conflict in a roleplay, but I think that move is used way too much.
I think that some people do it just to start a little bit of drama with other people. It's also really pointless when the bio of the character doesn't even mention their family being killed by some specific animal, or when the bio says something totally different happened to the family. I know that in reality, this kind of stuff happens in nature, but this is Feral Heart. In my opinion, I think it's become cliche like the whole "My parents died when I was very young. Woe is me!" kind of deal. It's even sillier when someone does it so unrealistically. Like a lion would say "My parents were killed by foxes!" or a bear would say, "My brothers were killed by rabbits!" Really, I've seen some people make those kind of statements in roleplays.

Do you think this kind of negative I'm-going-to-automatically-hate-and-kill-(insert animal species)-because-I-state-they-killed-my-family thing is getting too old and cliche in roleplay plots?

Game Discussion / Do You Think Topics on the Forum Have an Impact on the Game?
« on: May 22, 2014, 06:59:28 pm »
Do you think topics that have been discussed on the Feral Heart forums have had an influence or an impact on people in the game? Reason I ask is because I think it's a possibility that some people who read the discussions and topics posted in Game Discussion might have changed their playing behaviors/habits.

Example:
When I first joined the Feral Heart community, many Warrior Cat roleplayers I would encounter in Fluorite Plains would map claim and start fights with anyone who got near "their territory". Nowadays, I don't see much of that anymore. I don't really see any map claiming clans out there anymore. Do you think it could be because of all the complaint/rant topics people have posted on the forums made the Warrior players change their ways?

Another Example:
Many people have called Bonfire Island as "Noob Island" and a place for illiterate roleplayers. I've seen words like that appear on a few Game Discussion topics, and say that Bonfire Island needs more "literate roleplayers". Lately people have been saying that more advanced roleplayers have been roleplaying in Bonfire Island. I've been out to Bonfire Island recently, and I've seen some people roleplaying in a more advanced style, and more "realistically" based on the animal they are roleplaying as. Do you think the posts on the Game Discussion section might have had something to do with this change, or is it just a mere coincidence?

What do you think? Do you think forum discussions might have something to do with the few changes in roleplay behavior in the game... or is it just a coincidence?

Game Discussion / You're not listening!
« on: April 02, 2014, 06:16:19 pm »
This sort of topic has been on my mind for a couple of days. Have you ever met someone in a roleplay who is pretty much not listening to what's being said about your character? You tell them one thing, they completely ignore you and keep going on about a characteristic your character doesn't have?

Don't know what I mean? Here is an example.

One time I was on my unicorn fox character Amalthea. I was sitting on a rock out in Flourite Plains and whispering a friend, when suddenly some clan cats and their leader came up to me. This is what happened. (Names were made up since I can't remember them)

Leafstar: "Hey you! Fox! What are you doing here?" she hissed at the fox.
(I stopped my whispering to respond)
Amalthea Fox: -Hearing the hissing of a cat, Amalthea turned her head to see three cats looking up at her on the rock.- "Excuse le moi?" she chirped in her Frenchy voice.
Applepaw: -Applepaw shook with fear as she saw the fox. She ran off up the hill and left the leader to deal with it.-
Leafstar: -Unable to stand the fox's awful stench, the leader held her nose- "I said what are you doing here? This is our territory."
Amalthea Fox: "Madame... why are you holding your nose like zat?" she asked, tilting her head to one side.
Leafstar: "Because you smell awful, that's why!" she spat.
Amalthea Fox: "How can you smell me when I don't have a scent?" she asked.
Leafstar: "You're a fox! All foxes stink!"
Amalthea Fox: "Well I am not a mortal fox. I am a forest deity. I don't have a smell, you silly feline," she chirped. She sniffed at her fur to see if she still had the scent of sea foam on her. "I don't know what you are smelling. But it's not me."
Leafstar: "Whatever, you still smell horrible. Now leave!"
Birdclaw: "Yeah. All foxes have a smell."
Amalthea Fox: Well Amalthea doesn't. How many times must I say it? Look a the bio for Pete's sake!))
 
At that point, it wasn't really worth it to continue roleplaying with them. No matter how many times I told them in and out of character that she was a scentless immortal being, they still wouldn't listen. So I just ignored them from there, and they left somewhere else.


Another time something like this happened was when I was playing as my manticore character. She was stalking these shapeshifters that were in human form. I said in a roleplay line that she had her eyes on some creatures that looked like humans. And then one of them said OOC.

Shapeshifter: Uh we aren't humans. We are shapeshifters ._. ))
Melina: I know but my character is just acting out of instinct))

So when she proceeds to stalk them, they start saying how Melina is a stupid manticore for not knowing the difference between a human and a shapeshifter. When I explained to them that she is a feral beast that acts based primitive instincts rather than human reasoning, they didn't listen. "She's just stupid ._." they said.

Seriously. I might as well be talking to a brick wall. But I bet a brick wall would be more understanding and have more common sense than these people. What do you think of this? Has this ever happened to you during a roleplay?

Leaving / Absent from Game
« on: March 20, 2014, 09:09:15 pm »
As the title says, I'm going to be gone from the game for a bit. I don't know how long really; maybe a couple of days, a week, a month, two months... I will pop in on the forums every now and then and post a few things. But you won't see me in the game for a while. I will return as soon as I can get FH installed on my new computer and transfer all the files over. You can still contact me over Deviant Art. 

Bye for now.

Sincerely, Lady Alizarin
