Game Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Registeration Idea

Pardon if I sound a bit blunt, but the idea is discriminate.
Think about it. Users all over the globe play this game. Thus, if we were to incorporate an ideal time when the registrations open and closes, while it may favor some, it could be very unfair to others who will have to check up on the forums at times they normally wouldn't. The result will be angry users and unneeded favoritism.
I personally think that the way the registrations is currently set is fine. The time opens at complete random so there is no risk of showin' favor towards a distinct time zone or the likes 'n I highly doubt a randomized set of two hours will personally pick sides as to when it will open 'n close for the users here or users-to-be.
I agree 100% With Vespian. If it opened every evening at 6:00 GMT, It wouldn't be fair to other timezones who would need to wake up in the middle of the night to get registered.

Game Discussion / The Biggest and the Strongest
« on: August 25, 2014, 08:53:56 pm »
'Allo again, floofs. I just wanted to state my opinion on some roleplay character types. If you've read the title, you can probably infer that this is about big, strong, macho characters. Well, not exactly, but close.

I want to talk about how a lot of people make their characters perfect. It seems like nowadays a lot of people feel the need to be superior to other roleplayers. Weather they are the strongest, fastest, smartest wolf in the pack, or the greatest warrior who ever lived, blessed with mighty powers from Starclan. Now, there's nothing wrong with a skilled or special character... it's just how people make them FLAWLESS. Or how some people make their characters have those "special backstories that make their character better than yours." Is it me, or do a lot of warrior cats have those "Was born a rogue kit, abandoned, so killed family and became strong warrior" backstories? Now, back to the whole big, strong, fast thing. My fursona and main character, Astuzia, is very quick witted and agile, but not very strong. Everyone has flaws. It could be that they are incredibly strong, but also very sluggish, or they could be some awesome, jock, but he is not very smart. See? It's like a checks-and-balances kind of thing.

Well, thanks for listening to my crazy little opinion. Feel free to make the most over-the-top character you want... just don't forget to add flaws. And just keep this in mind: It's not a bad thing to lay low and create an average character.

To be Honest, I've never dreamed about FeralHeart (although I have had a few dreams where I was a wolf that resembled my main character Astuzia), but sometimes, if I can't fall asleep, I think of plot ideas and character backstories... either that or why pineapples are so spiky...
THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW.

I agree Metal. I myself, went through that noob-asking-for-help stage, and I didn't get help right away, but I waited a while, and help came. Interesting topic.

Character & Roleplay Tutorials / Lizzy's Guide to Realistic Warrior Cats
« on: August 24, 2014, 10:18:33 pm »
'Allo, floofs! Lately I've been seeing some pretty crazy cats around Flourite, and since I'm a cat nerd (I read random articles about cats in my free time... And yes, I AM SANE... barely XD) I decided to make a little guide on how to be realistic with your cats. I'll try to make things as simple as possible, and I'll throw in some humor too. There may already be a few guides on Warriors, but here's my take on them floofeh fighters. I'll be covering appearance, naming and lastly, fighting. Hope you enjoy.  ;D

-Appearance-
Everyone wants a good design for their cat, no? Well, sometimes it's hard to make an awesome, but realistic kitty. I'll try to cover most of the major points here, like colors, patterns, eyes and size.

1. Pelt Color: There's not really much here to discuss... most people are pretty realistic with colors. I do, however, want to point out that NO cat has neon pelts. Orange, or "ginger" cats are never neon. They can be a bright orange, but not so bright that It'll make people have seizures. As for blues, "blue cats" are almost never fully blue. Infact,t hey look more grey than blue. That's about it for colors.

2. Patterns: So, you go into your trusty character creator, and HOLY COW, THERES LIKE 59789 DIFFERENT PATTERNS! Not to worry, my friend, chances are, your cats won't need most of them. If your looking for a tabby, I'd recommend either one of the tigers, or maybe king cheetah for heavily striped cats. For spotted tabbies, I'd say king cheetah, cheetah or the leopards, and cub spots for light markings. I wouldn't recommend using jaguar, as it's spots are more... geometric. For patches and splotches, marble or splatter. Is you want point markings, such as Siamese or seal, leg stripes (either one), socks or Siamese will do. Now, the most important things I'm going to say here. First off, markings are usually a darker, or slightly lighter shade of the pelt color. NEVER will you see an orange cat with black or grey spots. And secondly, black cats can't have socks of any color except white. They can have dark grey flecks, faint stripes... NEVER socks or Siamese.

3. Eyes: Eyes are probably the easiest part. I would recommend any of the slit markings, except for glow (cause that's just creepy). Some breeds have rounder pupils, so normal, black or whole will work. For blind cats, there are blind eyes available. I wouldn't recommend using any of the orbs for blind cats... most blind cat's don't have clouded eyes (unless they have a disease that caused the blindness). Now, for colors. Most cats have green or yellow eyes. Amber is pretty common too, but not as much as green. Blue eyes mostly occur on cats with grey or white pelts, and are uncommon on cats with brown or orange pelts. IMPORTANT: It is 100% GENETICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for black cats to have blue eyes, even blind cats, unless they have white present on their pelts. Also, I would stay away from the neon colors... except for maybe light blue. That's about it here.

4. Size: |WARNING, MILD RANTING AHEAD| The most important thing I'm discussing... in fact, it's the size problem that made me make this guide anyway. Now, *pulls a rocking chair out of closet* STORY TIME! GATHER AROUND! Now, once upon a time, there was a dog named Erna. She was walking through the woods one day, when she was attacked by a warrior. The great tom had her easily pinned with one paw. Now you ask, how could a feral cat, of whom are ABOUT 10 INCHES ON AVERAGE, and weigh about 20 POUNDS, pin down a great 135lb wolfhound like Erna, the answer is simple. HE WAS AN USUALLY LARGE CAT WHO WAS GIVEN HIS MAGICAL, LION-LIKE SIZE BY STARCLAN! *kicks rocking chair into wall* Now hold up. Even ''unusually large cats'' are maybe a foot and a half at the shoulder. Yes. Even the biggest, strongest, most magical warrior in all the world. Even leaders. For warriors, I personally think that warrior cats should be maybe a few clicks under default. Even huge ones. NEVER should any warrior cat exceed default, under any circumstances.

-Names-
One of the most important things for a warrior is his or her name. A good name SHOULD be relevant to their personality or appearance. There are 2 parts to this guide, prefixes and suffixes.

1. Prefixes: The prefix is the first word in the compound warrior names. Now, with the exceptions of rogues or loners who join a clan later in life, the cat's mother gives them the first part of the name directly after birth. Now, there's no way of telling the kit's personality or eye color from birth, so you can instantly eliminate Evilkit, Strongleaf and Greeneyes (not like any of those were good names anyway). Most kits are named for a distinct pattern or pelt color. For example, a dark brown tabby might go by the name Pinekit, or Barkkit, or a tortoishell with bold patches might be named Flowerkit. Also, chances are, queens (unless they were truly heartless and unfeeling) wouldn't name their kit Clawkit or Lostkit. I would recommend not using "overused words" such as Dark, Shadow, Mist, Fire, etc. IMPORTANT: Do NOT use words that cat's would be unfamiliar with. Cat's wouldn't be familiar with aligators or cobras, so don't use them. Also, mythical terms such as Dragon, Demon, Phoenix, Magic, Spirit and Angel should NEVER be used. Also, the words Star, Spirit and Moon are sacred to cats, and they are forbidden for using them in their names.

2. Suffixes: Suffixes are given by the leader when an apprentice becomes a warrior, but most people join clans as warriors, so you'll need to know about these. The suffix, unlike the prefix, usually reflects something distinct about the cat over time. So lets say your cat is very fast and agile. Some good suffixes for him would be -wing, -flight or -breeze. Or it could be important event that that cat experienced in which they become warriors or medicine cats. Leafpool earned her name this way, by discovering the Moon Pool. And be reasonable. You wouldn't have a caring medicine cat named Blazethorn. Also, be creative with your names. Not every name ends with -claw, -fang, or -pelt. Similarly to prefixes, don't use words that cats wouldn't know about.

-Fighting-
The thing that makes a warrior is his skill. Most people, however, get a bit unrealistic with combat. The first thing I want to mention is that smart cats, even the fiercest warriors, won't look to start wars unless necessary. Even "evil" cats feel pain, and wouldn't want to risk injury in necessary battles. Now that that's out of the way, cats' fighting styles are pretty simple. Most of it consists of quick paw-lashes and small bites. Never will you see a cat do backflips or a spinning kick to the head. Simple. Now, for the ranty part.   ;) POWERS FROM STARCLAN?! YOUR KIDDING, RIGHT?! The only reason why Starclan would give powers to cats is if there was some great danger and was absolutely necessary. Same thing with prophecies. Signs are given to MEDICINE CATS whenever Starclan want's to hint at something important. And no, SIGNS ARE NOT HUGE FIREBALLS THAT EXPLODE IN SPIRITS, SPEAKING OF A HURRICANE THAT WILL KILLE VERYONE. Signs are usually something small, for example, if Starclan believes that a certain cat, lets name him Ravenfeather, should become deputy, the sign would consist of a raven's feather landing on the highrock (or some crap).

Well, hope you all enjoyed this. Hopefully new clans will read this guide and not make god-cats. Pardon my grammar and using "And" at the beginning of sentences. I might make some more guides about other popular roleplays, such as Lion Prides or Fox Sulks.

Game Discussion / Re: Your First FeralHeart Friends
« on: August 24, 2014, 03:50:59 pm »
My first friends is Feralheart:

Jessydav
Jess is actually one of my real life friends. She introduced me to the game and helped me with a few of the mechanics, as well as show me some of the best roleplay spots.

Devynex
I saw Devy on a rock in fluorite when we first met. We were both playing as the animals mentioned during my Uncommon Species post, and we joked around about incorrect items. Devy later introduced me to one of my other besties, Darkkythecat. The three of us usually run around Bonfire together, searching for Daughter Simba. XD

Darkkythecat
Devy introduced me to her when we were roleplaying as Ostriches. I had found my people. She also is part of the hunt for Daughter Simba, and the three of us actually made a website for it. Good times. :D

I have so many other awesome friends, but these were my first. I LOVE ALL OF YOU  ;)

Species / The Wyldercat
« on: August 24, 2014, 03:28:09 am »
Greetings, floofs. Today I bring you a new creature, one I've been waiting to show you. Behold...
The WylderCat.
[/color]

-General-
Wyldercats are unusual felines. They come in a large variety of shapes and sizes, varying on species and gender. They usually live alone, but some varieties are known to form small packs. There are 4 known species of Wyldercat.

-Striped Wyldercat-
Striped Wyldercats are the largest species of Wyldercat. As the name suggests, their pelts are marked with great black stripes, and they bare a slight resemblance to tigers. Their eye colors include many shades of green. Males are usually very large (full-size on the sliders except for weight) and bare great antlers, similar to those of a stag. Their pelts vary from gold to auburn. Females are usually slightly smaller than males, and still have antlers, but they are noticeably smaller. Pelt colors for the females vary from scarlet to a dark shade of crimson. They mate in monogamous pairs (mated for life), and cubs will remain with it's parents until their antlers grow in, signaling they have reached maturity (about 2 years). Littermates may stick together in a small pack for several months after dispersing, but will usually split by the time they are able to mate (3 years). They are wandering animals, with no set territory, although they will remain in one area when raising cubs. They are strong hunters, bringing down large prey such as deer.

-Spotted Wyldercat-
The spotted Wyldercat is a smaller variety (about halfway between default and maximum on sliders), with pelts baring complex variations of spots. They're pelts vary the most out of all species, presenting many patterns (pretty much any markings that include spots mainly spots). Similar to their larger cousins, they also bare antlers, although much smaller than those of the striped wyldercats. Males and females are generally the same, although males have slightly larger antlers. Pelt colors include orange (all shades), tan, medium brown, sandy and rarely, gray. Usually have yellow or orange eyes. Markings are usually a dark brown or black. They are mostly solitary, but small packs aren't unheard of. Cubs will remain with their mother for about of year. They are opportunistic feeders, eating whatever they can catch, and are very territorial.

-Mountain Wyldercat-
The smallest of all the species (no bigger than default), the mountain wyldercat inhabits cold areas and hillsides. Regardless of gender, they each bare a thick, lion-like mane... which is fully grown after about a year. Most have short, stubby tails, but there is a known mutation in which they will be longer. Instead of antlers, they have ungulate horns. Males have ram-like horns that curl back, while females have goat-like horns, which can either be straight or curly. Females are usually larger than males, unlike other felines. Pelts are usually light grey or pale brown, but whites and dark greys have occurred. Unlike the other species, whom are apex predators, they are frequently hunted by eagles. Although not technically predators, cougars, wolves and bears are known to kill them in skirmishes. They usually hunt small mammals, though they are sometimes able to kill small goats or deer fawns. They almost always live in packs, and feel much safer in larger numbers... loners never seem to survive long.

If you wish to create a Wyldercat, please either post below or whisper me in game (I'm usually hanging around Bonfire or Flourite). You only have to ask once, and can make pretty much as many as you want once given permission. No copying please, and have fun! Feel free to post what you think about these guys... I have a few more species ideas, and if I get positive feedback, I'll post some more.
