Allow me to give my opinion... Uh, let me gather it up here. c:
I believe evil clans can be fun, if there are a small amount of them. Maybe five, six, per public map to cover the base of FeralHeart (not including any in private maps). But if EVERY Clan is evil (like what I've seen today in mapless Clans, all "merciless" and such) it isn't fun any more! You barely see a "nice" Clan any more. And even if you do, everyone either plays Scourge-based characters, or Hollyleaf-based character. If you don't understand what that means (because that has usually been an inside-thing between my friends), is it means, everyone is either a heartless killer, or a regretful one. Either they are the most terrible thing in the Dark Forest, or they are the most depressed, merciful, useless cat in the entire litter of brave, loyal warriors! Which apparently don't exist either! Yes, some cats out there are actually realistic, more like the books... But the twister is, they ARE from the books. If not exactly, just a few changes! You can barely find an original, realistic-sounding cat... I'm not protesting about it, but... It's just... Not every cat can be like Bluestar. That is another frequent one. Brave, then suddenly depressed and cruel, and until they are five seconds from death, BAM. They want pity.
What is even sadder about evil clans (and cats), is they are either illiterate or powerplayers. They think they can take down an entire pack of wolves. Tell that to Swiftpaw and Brightpaw! They'd love to hear that mouse-brained story! I'm not against Evil Clans... I'm against their huge numbers. We don't need so many! I, for one, have started a nice clan. And I assume that in the next month, we will already be completely dead because we follow the Warrior Code, and fuzzy rouges and evil kittens don't wanna hear it. That is just how they are...

It's kinda interesting to hear this really o3o, I've never really had this sort of thing happen to me really. Also, I'm part of The Ebon Circle and I guess we are a "evil clan" but we don't do anything like that at all really. If anything we joke around all the time in group chat and occasionally RP.
I'm not sure, perhaps this person just wanted to join in your RP.
However, the best course of action is to ._. you better hope a mod didnt see this O.o
You still should not put "cuss" you should have put something like
"So i gave him a 12 year old speak out"
Maybe used this at the end~~~~{Fudge,crap,douche bag}
These words are still not the best for you to use but not as bad.
Uhh... This stuff, and the stuff leading to it. ^
Just my thoughts-- the rules state that you shouldn't cuss, or 'star out' (like using *'s in place of certain letters) your words, since we try to keep this place a more family-oriented community.
However, I personally see nothing wrong with 'fudge', since it is just that. Fudge. Those chocolatey blocks of goodness that are often also sprinkled with nuts. :3 So. That's okay, and sometimes it adds a humorous touch to an otherwise tense situation.
'Crap' isn't the most tasteful word, but it's not necessarily cussing, I don't think.
As for 'D-bag', as I pronounce it, I don't particularly like that one, and I wouldn't go running around using that around the game, or in front of your grandmother, etc.
While these are 'tolerable' words, I think the best thing to do when you get mad at someone in-game is to be the higher person and keep your tongue in check.
Even if you say what you're feeling, using bad language, or simply letting your emotions make a fool of yourself almost always comes back to bite you in the buttocks.
I'm not saying anybody did that, though, but I figured I'd go ahead and state that. ^.^""

So anyway. :3
I really do like what 'GavelSwingingBlacki' (those names xD) said. He really explained the balance and frequency of these evil clan attacks and their strength vs. recovery very well, and much better than I'd yammered out in one of my earlier posts.
It's interesting how much this stuff ties back to realism and god-modding, though. I personally believe this stuff comes with roleplay experience, though.
Which, this begs the question-- Are these big, bad, 'all-powerful' battleground god-kitties that you guys have seen just roleplayers that don't know any better, or are they really just that ornery and meanie-faced? .-.
Please do not necro-thread old threads. This discussion hasn't been spoken in since last year. I advise ye' check the dates as to when the last posts were made before providin' a response of yer own.
