What's Going On, Seracia?
02-22-2014, 07:55 PM
Hello members of Seracia, how are we all doing right now? Well as your current alphess I'd like to tell you that some changes are coming to Seracia. All updates for these will be found in this thread, as it takes far too much time to do a thread with the entire pack, especially considering it dies out from what I've seen. I'm going to try and be flexible as an alphess on all of these rules, including ones that include punishment {though only if the actions are discussed before hand with me. You can't just have your wolf break a rule or something and then decide, "Oh hey I'll just talk to Keno and it'll be okay."... I'm not THAT flexible people.}
Things I Need To Know::
-Are you Loyal?: Basically I need to know who all intends to leave Seracia, just so I can make adjustments to the mentor / pairing list as well as know who to take off of watching for tasks. Any wolf who wishes to leave Seracia is free to do so, however a thread is needed! One character, if its from a family, can request for several members of the family to leave without all members being present, however. But some sort of message must happen ICly to Destruction for this to pass.
-Are you Scarce / Absent or Going to Be?: This is in regards for the activity that I'm hoping to stir within Seracia. If you happen to be absent or scarce, or think you might be, please let me know ahead of time! I will try to keep my eye on the board for notifications but just in case I would appreciate a pm from you to Destruction's account. :3
-Does your character have limitations?: Is your character blind? Has a serious injury? Sick? An Elder? All of this should be noted to me. If your character in any way has some sort of limitation or something that might prohibit them from participating in the activities let me know.
Changes::
-New Members:: Seracia is currently accepting new members, however will stop accepting new wolves at 35 members for now.
-Current Rule For Breeding:: Currently only Tier I, II, and III wolves can breed. Those who are of a lower rank and breed will be punished. If number are 35+ they will be banished. If numbers are lower they will be put on punishment. This is a request by the former alphess, Loccian, and will remain in affect for now. {{If you are really set on pups please pm Destruction's account and I will try to work something out with you if you are of a lower rank.}}
-Activity:: Here is going to be a big one. Seracia wolves NEED to get active. Unless you are excused from this for any reason {which something will still need to be done with your character if possible, which we'll work out} you will need to show some sort of activity within Seracia. Please continue reading for acceptable things to show activity. Please note that, due to Seracia being a larger pack, that if you do not show any activity without reason you will be removed from Seracia's ranks. It is a bit harsh, yes, but due to the member cap we must exercise caution and only keep active wolves around. You will have a warning {demotion} first, and if you continue to be inactive without reason you will be banned from Seracia.
Seracia Activity::
Alright, so any of the below type of threads will be considered good for pack activity. I'm not going to be incredibly strict on times, as I know that we all have lives and other threads, but these threads MUST be active. Within a two week period I expect three posts. This is, honestly, not all that much. If you are in a thread, however, that ends up waiting on another person for a long period of time you will not be penalized, only the one the thread is waiting on. If you can help it, however, please try to get to a new thread. :3 This may seem a little confusing, so if you are unsure of things please feel free to shoot me a pm!
