THE PACK HAS REOPENED. GO DOWN AND READ THE LAST TWO POSTS RIGHT NOW. LIKE REALLY. RIGHT NOW.

Welcome to Visitors

Greetings. I am Clawface, the Alpha of these parts. I can see you're unfamiliar with my territory, yes? Come along. You'll find something similar to hospitality inside our camp, though not for more than a night or two or you'll start getting dirty looks. Our pack is among the largest and strongest of packs. We are not your average softhearted puppy-pets, as are many of our... ahem... cousins, but rather stonehearted warriors who do not and will not hesitate to defend each other at the cost of our lives. It would be a good idea for you to keep your intentions and destinations to yourself. More than one of us is suspicious of any and all strangers. So go ahead and take a look around. Grab a bite to eat when the crabbier packmates, including myself, aren't watching, take a swim at the falls... whatever, for all I care. Just don't be here tomorrow unless you want to join us! We'll see about that.

Romeo's Duties

Finish your Border Patrol and report back to me in the Alpha's Den.

((... I'd also like for the person who roleplays as Romeo to make your activity known - otherwise you will be taken from your position. I can't have inactive Betas, now can I?))

Sky's Duties

Relieved from duties, for the moment.

(( Kudos to you, Alado/Pebble, for being one of the only people still active here XD ))

Amber's Duties

Relieved from duties for the moment.

((Until your roleplayer shows me he/she is active!))

Deletion Completion

((All right. I'm online. As warned in the last post, Thunderstar's and Deathstar's characters have now been deleted.
Thunderstar's characters:
Jay
Star
Snowdancer
Ghost
Crow
Nanack (Was the medic. When you come back, Moon, Mystic is now the new Medic)

Deathstar's characters:
Quest
Blackfoot

You guys aren't part of the pack anymore. I'll be happy to re-add you if you come back and want to stick around. For now, you're not in the list.))

We Will Lose TWO MEMBERS.

((Alright. Lemme make this loud and clear.
Deathstar, Thunderstar, you're gonna get deleted if you don't post. It has been not three weeks as stated for deletion, but four weeks since you last posted.
Looking on my calendar here, Thunderstar, I've given you AN EXTRA WEEK to post and you haven't. Same will be for you, Deathstar, tomorrow. I have given you both four weeks to post and I haven't seen you anywhere.
If you two haven't posted by the time I get on around 7:30 tonight, I will delete you both. Enough said?
If you do come back after I've deleted you, I will be more than happy to re-add your characters.
However, there will be one drawback for Thunderstar. If Nanack, the Medic, is deleted, her apprentice Mystic will take her place. Permanently. Nanack will be either a Hunter or Guard from then on. No ifs, ands, or buts. Go and post if you wanna keep that position.))

More Plot. Also...

((Drats! Gathering isn't tonight, after all. >_> SG wont be around till May 5, so the Gathering is postponed till then. Not to worry however, everyone mentioned in the last post will be going. ☺ Here's the finish of the plot I started two posts ago...))

Not long later, Rogue was positioned as comfortably as possible in Nanack's den. Clawface paced back and forth outside the den. She had seen his deep, shredded wounds. That was bad enough, without the possibility of those disgusting outcast's claws being infected with anything...or even...Clawface tried desperately to push the thought away, but it came anyway.
Rabid.
The Alpha was unsure as to why she felt so panicked. She could even feel her heart thumping against her chest. It had been ages since she had even noticed it. It felt strange.
Of course, she had been worried when Night fell ill, but this seemed...different. How it was different, Clawface didn't know. She immensely disliked the feeling of helplessness that overwhelmed her. She wasn't used to it, and it enraged her. But a moment later, Nanack emerged from the den, Mystic padding behind her.
Clawface was in the medic's face in a moment. "How is he?"
When Nanack hesitated, Clawface snarled. "Talk to me!"
Mystic's eyes widened slightly. Nanack jerked her head back, surprised by the harshly spewed sentence. "He should make a full recovery. How long that will take, I've no idea. At least a moon. Likely more."
Clawface bared her fangs at the ground and stormed away. Her eyes flashed like lightning and she curled into a tight ball inside her den. She shut her eyes and buried her nose in her tail.
Suddenly, they snapped open again. What was wrong with her? Why was she so enraged? Why hadn't she acted this way when Night was ill? These thoughts infuriated her. She was more intense about Rogue than her own Beta? Clawface, disgusted with herself, knew what she needed to do. She stepped out of her den and did he rbest to keep her cool as she headed to the prey-pile. She grabbed a rabbit, placed it between her paws, and shredded it. She ripped it apart as best she could till there wasn't much left. She lapped up a few pieces of meat, and kicked the bits of fur into the brush. The pleasure of simply tearing into something and letting all her stress out on it eased her emotions, and in a much better temper she trotted a short ways from the camp to find another rabbit to replace the one she had just demolished.

The Gathering!

((Apologies for not being on last night! I'm waay to busy....as it is, the Gathering is tonight! I suppose it'll start around....7:00? 7:30? No defininte time as far as I know (or can remember XD ). We'll show up in that time range I guess. Here's a list of the seven wolves going:

Kisharu (Willowfeather)
Alado (Pebble)
Amber (Amber)
Mystic (Moon)
Sunray (Swirly Girl)
Matias (Scareyes)
Gentleheart (Angel, Honey and Gentleheart)

Link to the Gathering is in the sidebar. Click the pic, if you didn't already know. I'll finish the plot in this same post tonight when I have more time. ☺ ))

Poll Results, and Finally More of the Plot

((Poll is now closed, looks like you guys like the idea of a playlist huh? Cool. I'll get working on it soon!
Now, for the plot which I so lazily neglected and you so kindly contributed to...))

Venom led Sunray out of the camp, intending to show her around the territory. He loped down a beaten deer trail, glancing back at the ginger she-wolf. She looked so beautiful, with her smooth ginger coat blending with the blooming green and brown forest. His pink tongue hung out of his mouth in a very cute way and he barked "Catch me if you can!" He darted off into the woods, the still air breezing lightly through his own deep brown pelt.
Suddenly Venom skidded to a stop. He could smell a familiar scent. A disgustingly familar stench.
The rogues.
What were they doing this far into the territory? The thought pierced a sliver of pure fear in his heart, and he whirled and rushed the other way. Terrible, frightening thoughts ran through his head.
"What if Clawface discovers them? What if they attack the camp ahead of the plan? What if Sunray smells that and flips out? What if I'm found out? What if....what if....."
He whisked past Sunray and pounded back down the trail. Luckily, she didn't suspect anything and raced after him, laughing.

~~~
The next day...

Clawface trotted along the same trail, in search of prey. Rogue and Tumbleweed were also in her presence somewhere behind. Rogue had headed off into the bushes, hot on the trail of what smelled like a fat, juicy rabbit that would feed at least two pups.
Clawface pricked one blue-gray ear. She could hear the faint rustling of something under the leaves. She sniffed intently, and picked up the definite scent of vole. The Alpha crouched, and stealthily crept forward. She could see the vole now. It had just emerged from underneath a big, wide maple leaf and was creeping slowly into an old hollow log. Her yellow eyes burned into the prey and she was just ready to spring when suddenly a loud, whining howl echoed from somewhere behind her.
The vole vanished inside the log and Clawface turned. Tumbleweed's almond-shaped eyes were wide. "That sounded like Rogue!"
Clawface didn't answer. Tumbleweed felt a faint breeze as the Alpha passed by her, pelting back the way they had come. She moved so quickly her ears were flattened against her skull by the wind. She could smell something. Something not of her pack. She could hear Tumbleweed behind her.
Clawface burst through a patch of briars. The thorns tore at her coat, but she ignored them and focused on what she saw in front of her. Two wolves wrestled and snapped and tore at what appeared to be Rogue. He was battered, and bloody, and his muzzle was stained with blood. All three of the fighting trio were.
The two strangers were each brown, though oe was smaller than the other. Clawface let out a deafening, raging snarl and leapt into the fray. Almost instantly she clamped her teeth over the bent, deformed paw of one, ad tasted blood in her mouth. This attack was met with a high-pitched whine, and it was soon off into the bushes. The other, seeing it's partner was gone, let out a shriek of terror and followed close behind.
Rogue lay motionless. Clawface could see his side rising and falling, but that wouldn't last long. Turning on Tumbleweed, she growled "Find Nanack! Now!"
Tumbleweed dashed off into the brush.

((Will finish tomorrow! Gotta go to bed!))

Three Hours left on the Poll!

((As I've already said, 3 hours left for that poll in the sidebar! If you haven't already voted, VOTE RIGHT NOW!
Also, the first full moon isn't too far away! If you want to go to the Gathering, go and get posting! I reward active members!
That's all. Still no inspiriation to write. *Eyeroll* I'm trying to work something out...))

Update

((Hey everyone!

I. Wanted to mention a couple of people I'd like to post...
1. Angel. Skeet is still at the Big Rocks...where did you go? Come back!
2. Scareyes. Still waiting for you to reply to my posts at the falls!
3. Swirly Girl. You haven't posted in a while either! Just because I put Sunray in the last plot post, doesn't mean I'm going to continue playing her! She's your character, as are all the others! Bring them back!

II. I would post more of the plot, speaking of which, but I seem to have writer's block tonight. I'm flat out of ideas to move the story along. Perhaps those mentioned above would come back and help the pack start moving again. As it is, there are only three people which I see around here often (and who I'm highly pleased with). Amber, Alado, and Willowfeather. Keep up the good work, guys!

III. Please, please, PLEASE tell everyone you can about us! We haven't had any new members in ages! Grab a button, go and announce it in Cboxes, post a note in your blogs, whatever. Just help us get more members! We're moving too slowly here!

That's all for today. Ugh, I'm really tired. Gotta run off to bed because its so dang late!))

Feeling Weirded Out...

((Was just checking up on the blog when suddenly all the gadgets at the side of the page disappeared! None of the pictures show up, none of the banners down at the bottom either. The only stuff I can see is the poll, the box about it, and moon phase calendar (which wont load fully) Can you guys see it?))

Mistake on the Map!

((Before you read, make sure you read the update just before the two 'place posts' before this one. It has more of the plot and some information about the poll in the sidebar.
I just realized I made a mistake on the Map of the Territories! I had Moonpack and Nightpack in the wrong places! I've fixed it and switched the labels around, so here's the link to the map. I've left it full size so you can see the tiny writing. If you stuck my map in your Packs, change it to this one ASAP!))

The River

Wolf with salmon

This river runs through Moonpack territory and tumbles over a ledge into a waterfall. It is overrun with salmon during Newleaf and very early Greenleaf, and presents a temptingly juicy place to find prey. Beware, though. The river narrows into a rather deep gorge near the middle, and poses a threat to any wolf who might accidentally slide in.

The Swamp

Dark Swamp
This dreary, soggy swamp lies just at the edge of the Moonpack border and extends beyond into places no pack patrols. Death and disease lurk here, and apprentices are forbidden to set paw in this place.

Poll, Some Other News, and More of the Plot

((So, as you can see, I added a poll to the sidebar. Seems that playlists are a popular thing around here, and as I love music I thought it might be nice to add one. So go ahead and vote! I already voted....XD I must note that I will not be putting modern Hannah Montana or Lady Gaga songs in Moonpack.....more like some celtic music, maybe some soundtracks from How to Train Your Dragon and Alice in Wonderland, ect. ect.
Another thing.
Oceanwing/Tigerlilly, you need to post. Now. You've only been in the Cbox, and I'm beginning to notice that you haven't posted any of your characters anywhere. You need to go and post or I might get snappy. You only need to post in one or two places to start a conversation with another character. Post once in the nursery, at the prey-pile, whatever. We'd all love another person to talk with!
And now for the plot which I have so lazily ceased to add to.))

Venom was padding through the camp, showing Sunray around. He had just come from the Willow Tree ((mate's page, if you've been reading there)), and he had a girl following him. She seemed to like him. A lot.
He barely knew her, but then again she was a member of the pack, so he was sure he'd see her quite a lot. He could already see Sunray was an attractive she-wolf. What else was there about her he didn't know?
Venom looked up. It was almost sunhigh. He knew the two rogues out by the swamp would be waiting for him...Venom hesitated, then made up his mind. "They can wait. I'd prefer to have a girlfriend than spending time with those two scraggly lumps of fur." The brown wolf glanced back at Sunray. The corner of his mouth twitched as he almost smiled (if wolves could smile).
~~~
The pair of rogues were indeed by the swamp, as Venom knew they would be. And they weren't happy.
"Where is he?" One of them growled. "We told him to be here by sunhigh."
"Stupid pack wolves," the other jeered. "They don't know how to keep their heads on straight. I'm surprised none of the wolves of any of the packs have scented us yet."
"You dung-face. Death and disease lurk here. No wolves except those malf mad come here."
"Then I suppose we are half mad, then. Let's get out of here. Venom can hear it from us next time." With that, the wolves slunk away and disappeared in the drooping bushes, back to where they had come from.
Where that was, none but Venom would know for a long time.

Map of the Territories

I made this map not long ago of the current packs. I apologize, but I wont be able to squeeze any more packs that are made in there. Not enough room or patience for now. XD But anyway, I went to the Gathering for wolves, copied all the info about the territories, and arranged them into a logical pattern that fit the topography.
Hope you understood that sentence.
The circles are mountains, the blue is water. ☺ I hope you can read the captions! if not, here is the link to the pic.

Something for Swirly Girl

((Hey SG! I saw you were having trouble getting the moon phase calendar to show up directly in the Gathering, so you used a link instead. Here's quick directions for you (and everyone else who wants to know how!)

1. Make an HTML/Javascript gadget in your blog.
2. Click the moon in my calendar. A new window will come up with just the calendar. Below it in tiny gray words it'll say 'Add to: website' and 'Facebook'.
3. Click the word 'website', and it'll take you to the page where you can get the code.
4. Go down and accept the terms of agreement, and then copy and paste the code into the gadget. It's already preset to look the way we want it for blogs, so you don't need to mess with it. ☺

I tried to get the code to show up in this post, but it wouldn't work. Rawrg.
Hope it works! If you have any trouble just let me know!))

Rule Change!

((All right, so it's not really a 'change'. I've polished the rules to suit my likes, and added a couple. Here they are:


1. BE AWARE. If, without warning, you have not posted or otherwise been active (chatbox counts) in three weeks, I will not move your wolf to the elders den. I will delete him/her. I don't like to do it, but it's for the better. However, if you return I will be happy to re-add your wolves. Also, try to post (chatbox does not count) at least once a week.

2. You are free to have as many characters as you want. But you have to play them. Don't create a character just to make a character. Don't get in over your head. There isn't really a limit or deadline for this, but I don't want inactive wolves that never do anything!

3. If and when you're making a (new) character, be sure to check the list of members at the side of the page. I continually keep this updated and organized. If you see that there are way more males than she-wolves, or Guards than Hunters, ect., try to help balance this out. The pack needs all the different wolves. Also, check to see if a name you're using hasn't already been taken.
If you've read these rules, put 'blue moon' at the top of your form.

4. Don't powerplay (be super powerful), God-mod (control another character's actions), flame (be mean to others in real life), or spam (Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages)

5. Do not swear or curse. I will kick you out after one warning.

6. RP in third person, please.

Suggestions? Post them here. Arguments? Post them here. Kudos? Post them here.
Now get outta here and have some fun with the other wolves! ☺ ))

Quick Update

 ((Hello, fellow pack members. I just wanted to post a couple of things.

I. I really am watching your activity. I am keeping track of all of you. Most of you are very active and I'm highly pleased, but there are two people who haven't posted since late March or early April.
I really, honestly hate to use names, but I want those two to see this so if they check back they know.

1. Thunderstar (Nanack, Jay, Snowdancer, Star, Crow). Last post was March 28.
2. Deathstar (Quest, Blackfoot). Last post was April 2.

Remember that to be deleted you have been inactive for three weeks, but once a week has gone by then I really start paying attention. XD There are no hard feelings in this. But I want you two to get posting!

II. Suggestion for Swirly Girl at the Gathering for Wolves. It would probably be a good idea to stick a moon phase calendar in the Gathering's sidebar. You can get one just by clicking the one in mine.
Now that I think about it, if any of you have a pack of your own you should all put a calendar in there. They're all the same, and it'll be easier to be accurate at the first Gathering (which, mind you, I cannot wait for!).

III. Mate's page food for thought: There are two more females than males looking for mates, and a couple of the males are rather inactive. Hey girls, you want a mate? You'd better work for one! I am considering creating one more male character for myself that is looking for a mate, just to help even things out. But it's also up to the boy's RPers to get posting!

Okay, so maybe that wasn't really all that 'quick'. Oh well. Thanks guys!))

The Gathering for Wolves

Hello everyone! I was wanted to post this because Swirly Girl has opened a Gathering for Wolves. From now on, every full moon (according to the moon phase calendar in the sidebar) the wolf packs will hold a gathering, like the clan cats. I will put the banner in the sidebar for you, and just for reference I'll stick it here at well.

Create your own banner at mybannermaker.com!

I will personally choose seven wolves to go to the gathering. You wanna go? Post more. I reward active members.
Thanks Swirly Girl!
EDIT: The banner is a little big for the sidebar...later on I'll see if I can make a smaller one. ☺
Oh, by the way...105 unique people have looked at Moonpack! Woot! *Passes out cake*

Another New Member to Close the Day!

Clawface leapt up to the Tallrock, for probably the last time that day. She let out a long howl: "Let all those old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Tallrock for a Pack meeting!"
She continued as the wolves assembled beneath her. "We have yet another new member with us this day. Make welcome Amber, a Hunter. Do not exclude her from your daily lives. Meeting dismissed!

Amber! Amber! Amber! Amber!

((I wasn't able to access the picture of Amber. Can you post a different link? If you can't, I can find a picture for you. ☺
Either way is fine! Thanks for joining!))

Thursday, April 8, 2010

More New Members!

"Let all those old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Tallrock for a Pack meeting!"
The call was clear and sound, and it was heard throughout the camp. The numerous wolves gathered underneath the rock and looked up at their Alpha, standing strong above them, to hear what she had to say.
"We have new wolves in our Pack," Clawface barked. "Let me introduce you to Gentleheart, our newest Hunter, and Angel and her pup Honey. Do not exclude them from your daily activities, and care for and provide for them as you would for kin. Meeting dismissed!"

Gentleheart! Angel! Honey! Gentleheart! Angel! Honey!

((I'm assuming Honey is Angel's pup? That wasn't mentioned in their forms, so I wasn't sure. Let me know when you get the chance. I'll be happy to change it as neccesary.
Welcome to the pack!
Also....we've hit 91 unique people visiting Moonpack! Let's try to make it to 100...make sure you have a badge on one of your blogs!))

The Three Tree Cliff

Three Tree Cliff
This cliff overlooks the entire Moonpack territory. It is a good lookout, though hard to get to, and surrounded by a trio of odd, prickly trees.

The Big Rocks

Big Rocks
This odd formation of rocks lies at the end of Moonpack territory. No one knows how it got there, or why it stands alone. But it is an interesting challenge to climb, and much prey hides in the cracks.

New Members

Clawface leapt swiftly up to the Tallrock from the ground below. She threw back her head and let out a long, echoing howl. "Let all those old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Tallrock for a pack meeting!" The wolves were soon gathered undereath their Alpha, and she barked "We have new members this day. Make welcome Flick, our newest Guard. Also rever and appreciate our newest apprentice, Mystic. She will train to be Moonpack's next Medic under the careful and knowledgable guidance of Nanack. I trust her mentor will pass on all her wisdom to this young apprentice. Meeting dismissed!"
Clawface watched as the wolves in the clearing surrounded the two new members, greeting them.

Flick! Mystic! Flick! Mystic! Flick! Mystic!

Update

((Hello everyone! Just have a few announcements...

○ We've hit 73 different people viewing Moonpack!

○ I see most of you are beginning to get involved. I've been watching with much pleasure a conversation in the Guard's den that wasn't sparked by me. ☺ This makes me happy.

○ We've quite a few wolves looking for mates...I already see a cute pair down by the falls. XD If you're playing one of the wolves that wants a mate, I'd suggest looking at the Mate's Page. (It's in the link list in the sidebar at right) I'm also willing to do a little matchmaking, if you insist.

○ If you haven't already, grab a badge and stick it in one of your blogs ☺ There's one in the sidebar, and there's a page in the link list with three more.

That's all for today! Keep posting...
EDIT:
Also, changed the picture that appears next to my posts. So don't get confused. XD))

New Members, and More of the Plot

((Okay! New members first! Deathstar, I have currently decided there can only be one Omega in Moonpack. I may change this in the future, but for now there's only room for one. XD I put Blackfoot in with the Hunters. If you'd like me to change this and make him into a Guard instead I'd be happy to do that. Thanks for joining! ☺))

Clawface leapt up to the Tallrock from the soft Newleaf ground below. She gave a long, echoing howl: "Let all those old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Tallrock for a Pack meeting!"
She began. "We have new wolves within our bounds. Make welcome our newest Guard, Quest. Include him in your activities, and value him as one of us. Also greet our newest Hunter, Blackfoot. He will feed the Pack and serve it as one of us. Treat them both well. Meeting dismissed!"

Quest! Blackfoot! Quest! Blackfoot!

~~~~~

Once the meeting was over and Clawface had leapt from the Tallrock, Venom growled slightly to himself. Another Guard and Hunter only meant stronger forces against his plans. He swished his tail and padded casually away while the other wolves were greeting the newcomers. He had things to do. Places to go. Allies to visit.
The brown guard slipped along down a small beaten deer trail. He kept low to the ground, and was careful not to make any sound. The only stuff under his paws was soft grass that had begun to spout with Newleaf, so he made no noise. After much walking, Venom finally came to the border of Moonpack's territory. There was much of it.
He stepped over the boundary, and headed down to a marshy, swampy stretch of woods. Disease lurked here, and apprentices were forbidden to stray to these parts. Venom sat down, and waited. It wouldn't be long now.
Presently, two skinny, ragged figures slunk into the clearing. Both were brown, though one was darker than the other. The darker one had four bony legs covered in scars, and there was a little blood matted into his fur. The other was a little smaller, but he had a deformed ear and a twisted, ugly paw. The end of his tail was missing.
"Finally," Venom growled.
The smaller wolf had a high-pitched voice as it replied "We had a little trouble with a neighboring pack. It's not our fault."
"It wont matter for long." The darker one had a deep, raspy voice. "Soon, we will rule the entire forest."
