WCF News: 2013 RP Season!

Hello all,

Many updates are happening at WCF in preparation for our 2013 Official RPG season, which is going to be huge this year! Here are the latest news for what has been going on in preparation…


Member-Created RPGs
- Old threads RPs have been locked or garbaged. The majority of the RPs garbaged were created long before our current RP infrastructure, so there shouldn't be any negative effects. Now the RP sections are much cleaner and easier to view, also making it easier for the newest Clan Leaders.
- Keep in mind our current Member-Created RPG rewards program, where upon completion, all active participants, may be rewarded with WP!
- The staff and I highly recommend you participate in RPs created by others, instead of making RPs yourself. This will contribute to a quality and meaningful RP experience Give it a try for 2013!


Clan News
- ShadowClan & SkyClan have opened for recruitment!
- ThunderClan Leader Monkeystar will also soon be open for recruitment in preparation for the 2013 Official RP season!
- IceClan is also rumored to be preparing for an application process for the Official RP season
- The cleaning of Clan forums (mentioned above) allows Clan Leaders to rewrite their policies, rules, etc. and post them into their Clan boards


In preparation for our 2013 Official Roleplay Season, we’re highly encouraging member referrals. Each referral is worth more and more.

Total # of referrals:
1 referral – 100WP
2 referrals – 250WP + 500AP
3 referrals – 500WP + 1000AP
4 referrals – 1000WP + 1500AP
5 referrals – 2000WP + 2000AP

Each subsequent referral after 5 is worth 1000WP and 1000AP each.
However, keep in mind that referred users should actively contribute to the board, and not be solely referred to register for your benefit in WP. Thus, we specify each referred member to have at least 150 posts before your reward is given.

Important: Please tell your referred users to list you in their Application for registration into WCF. If your username is not listed initially as their referrer on registration, you will not receive your reward.


Official RPG news
- Our Roleplay Map will soon be updated to fit tighter with the Official RPs, and we will be actively modifying it as Clan territories shift through conflicts, etc. The newest update to the map will be released shortly.
- Events in the Official RPs will not only carry over from each RP, but it will also be part of an official WCF storyline, which will also be reflected in the coming webseries and video shorts by WCF Studios!
- 2013 is going to be a year of badges and competitive events, so be ready to get your game up! More Clan members means more power, which leads to more badges, AP, and WP for you! Encourage the members you refer to join your Clan!


And that's only the the tip of the iceberg. Hope you enjoyed this short news update and sneak peek.
Hope you all are as excited as we are!
Dragonclaw, Tech, and Staff.

Wow! I can't wait. And yes, Skyclan is looking for members.
Great job, Draggy! Keep up the amazing work that we all love you for doing!

oooohhh this is exciting! So IceClan and a few others are opening positions, huh? Also, if someone you invited to WCF already joined, could we still receive a reward? I have two people on WCF I invited here, so I was wondering.

Can I ask something? What's a member referral? I don't understand that part

(Join the Dark Forest to play a huge part in the next Official RPG!!)

Referral is when you a friend to join and they join, pretty much

I don't have a plan for recruitment ;_; Aaah

Sounds fun I can't wait for the contests and new Official RPGs ^-^ Referrals will be really hard for my age group, but the idea was a great solution/compromise. Great updates once again

As a note, I won't be changing much of my Clan's territory Just making it slightly more logical than what it is right now.

Oh okay thanks Chez.

Well I invited Oceanswirl and Goldenfur ^.^ I won't be recruiting anyone anymore though. Barely anyone here actually read warriors and as CheeseStar said, that series suits younger readers :3

I think you don't have to just recruit Warriors readers. I think we can recruit from everywhere, online and off.
While the book series is meant for a younger audience, RPing requires a much higher mastery and complexity of language, emotion, maturity, etc.
I think any RP fan would enjoy it here, which speaks for myself.

That's how I'm going to recruit for ThunderClan!! Muahaha

Good updates. I like it, IceClan will definitely play a much larger political role between the Clans

Fear us. Expect us....

I think Starclaw has a point there though the site would be easier to advertize if it wasn't so focused on Warriors but what are you going to do. Looking at some of the recent RP's though, many of them aren't actually about warriors. Maybe it would be a good idea to at least make other sections of the forum for other things instead of having "Warriors RPG's" and "Other RPG's".

Well, I also agree with you, Snowlily. A lot of the rps have been about different animals, and people. We should sepreate them into another section or something.

I'm just thinking if we advertize a wider variety of RP's on the home page with the Warriors RP's it might appeal to more people.

NAW I think that would dilute the focus of this site

(I sound so clever )

You do know that only 2 out of the 10 most recent rps hare even remotely warriors related right now. Recently everyone seems to be posting about anything but and I'm not asking to completely redesign the site. I only suggested that more sections be added about different role plays.

Or maybe an advanced section added only for a couple of hand-picked members based on their writing and roleplaying skills :3

I do like that idea though I don't think that we should only allow certain people in. That may make others feel left out and I know everyone here is capable of writing something suitable for an advanced role playing section. How about instead of making t so exclusive we just put a word limit on it. So for example every post myst have a minimum of 150 words?

I'm gonna have to agree with Tigerfern on this one (gasp)

I don't think that number is right. I haven't RPed lately, but looking at the RP forums, I'd say at least 7 out of 10 are completely Warriors related ._.

There is more than 1 section on the home page for role playing but I was going off of the 10 most recent ones that have shown up on the right hand side of the page. Actually I am off. It was 3/10 because moonclan started posting n their camp again but other than that the only new I have seen was one for the Tribe of Flashing something and dawn storms kit RP. Other than that it's been inheritance, magicians, wolves and alley cats which from what I understood had nothing to do with the warriors series itself just to name a few.

That's partly because the Warriors RP are all getting rather repetitive and there isn't much to RP. Battles between Clans, disease outbreak, famine, floods, rogues, kittypets, twolegs, dogs... Honestly, there is an end in the list. So that's why most members RP in non-Warrior RPs ._.

Well, Snowlily, might as well NOT have an advanced RP session. It'll turn out rather pointless.

I don't know what you guys mean. Warriors isn't getting old in my view. You can do a number of things with it, and that's the point. Dramatic deaths, saving, rescuing, secret love...... there's plenty more to do.


It doesn't matter if it's not warriors, I think. This is more of a RP site, not only warriors, although on the outside it might look that way. This is more of a community that bonds together in RPs and such.

This seems exciting! It might be a good idea to have the RP sections a little more organised. (Ie Cat RP's, Other animal RP's, Humans RP, and other/mixed RP's.)

Thank you Phantom and Sirwavrenstar. Some people that understand what I'm saying.

As for something else that I know a lot of other people have been asking; I would actually like to know, Dragonclaw, if you have anything planned to get those members that log on and don't RP or Join a clan more active in the community?

e.e

The contests and badge events are something that set us apart from the usual role playing routine. If those were advertised in the portal as well, others who aren't as strong in RPing would be interested, too. When the badge key is made, it'd be cool to display it or link it in the Portal ^-^ I'm not sure how reasonable that suggestion is, though.

Warriors role playing is endless, it's just that sometimes, endless is boring. I'm not going to make up any poetic metaphors, but a change from "Clan vs Clan" or "Daily life" RPGs are really exciting.

I don't think they really supported your idea...

I think your idea is a bit pointless. I don't like the idea of "Human RPs" forums and other specific stuff. We already have a Other RPGs section. Why do we need more? That causes more disorganization because there's too many specific things and I think it's fine the way it is now.
We don't even have that many Other RPGs anyway. And Dragonclaw's post clearly says we should try play other RPGs instead of just striking out and making a bunch by ourselves.

I'm siding with DragonMeteor on this oneb
The majority of RPs are still Warriors. And the Official RPG of course is still the most popular and fun and solely Warriors based.
It's fun and exciting if everyone participates and interactive things go along with it such as our territories on the map and badges such
I don't see a need for other forum categories either. As Tigerfern said previously, it really dilutes everything.
I like the way it is now, and the Other RPG section is still open to any other RPs we would like.

Wow this escalated fast....

Woah woah woah... I did NOT say we should have RPs other than Warriors.

What I said was...

I basically said you don't have to read the Warriors series to enjoy Warriors. I've only read the series briefly in the past, but that doesn't stop me from RPing
