Game Discussion / Re: Lion-sized Warrior Cats?
« on: March 15, 2013, 01:38:11 am »Now I do agree with you there. I was walking around on my runt warrior cat and I came across these HUGE tom-cats attacking 2 foxes. Of course, being the softy that I am, helped the foxes. Eventually I realized that they were just using their size as an excuse to attack and kill whole packs. So I came up to the supposed "leader" and told him that his sizes were unrealistic and that, in real life, a good-sized fox could kill a group of 3 to 4 cats. So he finally jumped back to reality and realized he looked like a lion in a cat suit.I don't really get why this is such a big deal. They create them big because it's a cat roleplay. And it's a cat roleplay mushed with Feralheart sizes.See, I totally understand that kind of thing.
I really don't think that it would be fun to run around as a very tiny character, in a very large map, with a lot of other tiny characters. Think of it as. "Realistically and ICly we are not as big as you. But due to FH sizes we were forced to be this size" kind of thing.
They wouldn't be as big as a lion realistically.
And they wouldn't be as big as a dog, wolf, or wild cat realistically.
As I said before, though, I think it's different when these giant warrior's decide to challenge/fight, or simply roleplay with real 'big cats', that actually should be large like that.
It isn't all that big of a deal, though, when they're just roleplaying together, as one group of warriors, and no other animals are taken into account.
Proportion issues. ;P
I understand the whole proportion thing but whenever I've made cat characters I like to make them the normal size of a cat. I don't see why people are complaining so much that if they use the "normal" size then they are the size of a kit and there's no differentiation between them. Not true. I've RPed a few times with small sized cats that have kits smaller than them but are all still at normal size. I also prefer smaller cats since it makes the environment larger and things that could normally not be used as dens before can be at the smaller size. Example like the scattered rocks around Fluorite. If you're on a big lion sized cat they are just rocks... If you're on a normal sized cat you can pretend they are dens.
Like White says what really annoys me is when these lion sized cats use their size as an excuse to attack creatures that would normally be larger than them... -_- It happens to me all the time. I sometimes walk around as my lion version of Lord Suragaha and some lion sized warrior cat kills me. Other times I've seen wolves in a pack get attacked and killed by a single lion sized warrior cat... It's ridiculous. I mean can you imagine a cat killing a lion or a wolf?
Eventually I went to recruit and I saw this gigantic she-cat bigger than a male. It was awkward and I told her that I would accept semi-large cats but not HER size. She changed it to the size of a KIT. I freaked out and she said that she wanted to be smaller than me and my character was already that size of a NEW apprentice.
In some terms it could be realistic. If they were in a private map where no other creature could come in, that'd be perfectly normal. Poke was a huge cat because he had a growth disease. It was sad because, eventually, that cat would die unless treated. Tigerclaw was an unusually large cat if you take that in mind. It could just be because he worked for a good amount of time as an apprentice, warrior, and kit. Or it could be just because he was an unusually big-boned cat.
