HOLLOWCLAN LEADER AUDITIONS

[Heronstar]

As you all know, Silentstar recently resigned. His deputy, Heronwing was to take the position but she also decided it best not to.

We will need an ACTIVE, DEVOTED, COMPLACENT, LITERATE leader to take the role, and we will need one very, very soon.

Here are the rules and such of being a leader:

- Sorry, but you need to be on daily (with a few absences every now and then) around the evening or afternoon. I know that being active daily can be hard for many people but it's needed in order to lead a proper group.

- You can have other characters in the RP but you MUST be the most active on your leader.

- You must require a sample when recruiting, be able to say no to people, know and memorize our rules.

- You must be able to paragraph role play, and be completely mature when needed.

- You must be familiar with proboards and be able to look over and moderate your own board and members.

- You must be able to get on when asked if you're on another character. You can try to split the time evenly but you'll need to make a sufficient amount of room to recruit and role play for HollowClan.

- Me and Cloud really don't want to babysit or anything. Just make sure you're very active, understand proboards and know how to handle drama.


And now, the application. Please fill out everything and bring questions to either me or Cloudstar.

RP SCENARIOS - These are scenarios that you will ROLE PLAY OUT. You must write them as if they are happening before you in game, like a sample. You DO NOT say "I would do this, and I would do that."


1. There is a prey and herb shortage, the rain has been making it very cold and hard for the herbs to grow. How do you handle the problem and get your clan by? What do you do to lift their spirits?

2. A band of rogues is currently invading, and there are yowls being heard from the nursery. Three kits have been reported missing, many rogues either flee in separate directions and drop dead- but the leader himself is out of sight, as well as the 3 kits. What do you do?

3. LichenClanner scents keep appearing around the borders, a little too close for comfort. Since the prey is low, intruding on territory is frowned upon more then ever. How do you handle the strange scents lingering in the territory?


OUT OF CHARACTER SCENARIOS - As a leader, you must also be a moderator out of character. Please tell us how you would handle the following problems.

1. Someone has been in your clan for a week but really wants to switch to BoulderClan, insisting on it. Though, the rules say no clan transfers for two days. What do you tell them or how do you handle it?

2. It's been pretty quiet and inactive for a few days in HollowClan. How do you increase activity around the clan?

3. None of the two other leaders are online, leaving you alone. Two people come in who weren't accepted into the role play and start to cuss and break many rules. What do you do about the intruding people?

4. Some people are joking in group but it ends up going a bit too far, offending a few people and using some terms we don't allow. You tell them to stop, but they won't and continue on. What do you do about them?


Please answer all of these, I realize it's lengthy but I really only want length on the RP samples. We just want someone who is completely worthy of the rank, so I decided to make it pretty long.

FH Username: Blood-Thenorn
Character name: Ebonystar
Short character description: Ginger she-cat with darker orange tabby markings, really just your basic orange tabby. She has smooth, soft fur, and her eyes are a light blue-green color. Her eyes are soft, showing love and compassion for others just with a simple flick of her gaze. She holds a smile on her maw almost half of the full year, the only time she frowns is when another she knows is frowning. 

RP SCENARIOS - 

1. There is a prey and herb shortage, the rain has been making it very cold and hard for the herbs to grow. How do you handle the problem and get your clan by? What do you do to lift their spirits?

Ebonystar  began to gape around the camp, she saw downed faces every where she looked. This wouldn't go as a good day in her book...
    "Cats of Hollowclan!" She giggled, leaping up onto the rock where they have been holding meetings in this clan for the past century, and that wouldn't change. Even with a new leader.
    "Please, for those who can hunt their own prey, join under the high rock for a clan meeting. I have some things I would like to discuss." She smiled downwards towards the faces as they came under the rock, tilting their heads up at her; they had recalled no kits or apprentices needing ceremonies, what was the leader's meaning of calling them? Once the cat's settled down and finally encompassed the small clearing under her rock she continued. 
    "Thank you all...Well..." She coughed then began to speak once more after amassing her thoughts. 
    "I as of all of you know this moon and moon past have been rough, the rain has been freezing us for a very long time...I apprehend this, and still am apprehending it." Mewls from below came, gossip, chattering, agreement. Though as quickly as the chattering began it was silenced with a flick of the she-leaders tail. 
    "Well...We need to make the best of it! Shall we!? I say...Hmm...Forget the rain! Let the rain come! We as a whole are stronger then a couple of weather disadvantages, we can all deal with a little water...Right?" Mewls of agreement rose from under her, leaving a large grin on the small leader's maw. 
    "Now look at you! All those happy smiles, you agree don't you? Well then...Instead of griping about it get out there and make the rain last! Hhmmm...Aspenwing, Pantherleap, Driftstripe, Rabbitwhisker, and Birdsong; mind going on a hunting patrol? Hhhmm aanndd...Fallownose, Russethaze, Mouseflick, Ashenfall, and limpetjaw; go on a herb search with the medicine cats, I know how hard herb hunting can be in the rain." The cats from bellow nodded, getting together with their rather large groups and setting off, leaving Ebony star with the same ol' joyous expression on her face. 

---

2. A band of rogues is currently invading, and there are yowls being heard from the nursery. Three kits have been reported missing, many rogues either flee in separate directions and drop dead- but the leader himself is out of sight, as well as the 3 kits. What do you do?

Ebonystar let out a grumble. Rogues, at least 8 of them made their way through the entrance; taking everyone by surprise. At least three or four of them went straight to the nursery, it all happened so fast. 
    "H-heronwing! H--HHH! Gather up cats, a-attack! Hollowclan! ATTACK!" The cats from around scattered, picking out the closest rogue to them, there were still no hearing of what had happened with the three missing kits. A few seconds later all the rogues had fleed, well...What was left of them. About 4 of them were dead, lying on the ground around camp. Ebonystar looked with a shakey gaze around camp, calling out names.
    "Aspenwing...?" She called out rather loudly in a questioning tone, the tom responded with a 'here' and Ebonystar continued down the list which she had memorized in her brain at the cost of something like thing happening.
    "Pantherleap, Driftstripe, Rabbitwhisker, Birdsong, Deadeye, Littlebird, Russethaze, Mouseflick, Fallownose, Ashenfall, Bristlejaw, Limpetjaw, Lilysong, Splashpaw, Littlestep, Sorrelpool, Ambergaze, Hickorystep, Foxtail, Stonepaw, Brightfur, Greyfur, Beetlestrike, Whitefang, Thistlepaw, and...Ivyfrost...Are you all here? If so say I!" The I's came from all around the camp, some weaker then others, some stronger, but almost every one of them was heard...Except for Rabbitwhisker and Littlebird. "Littlebird? Rabbitwhisker?"
    "Haven't seen em'!" The voice of Deadeye called form bellow.
    "Goodness..." Ebonystar sighed, looking around the camp and mewing. "We are going on a patrol! We must find the three kits and our two missing warriors...If you find a rogue...Please...By all means attack, but killing them would be a dishonorable move...Do you all understand!?" Almost all the cats nodded, pouring out of camp to go on a search for the missing five. It was going to be a long day

---

3. LichenClanner scents keep appearing around the borders, a little too close for comfort. Since the prey is low, intruding on territory is frowned upon more then ever. How do you handle the strange scents lingering in the territory?

Ebonystar searched around the few cats in camp out the time and mewled, calling them over. 
    "You three...Mind coming with me on a patrol to Lichenclan...I need to have a talk with Crowstar..." She growled, though a smile was on her maw almsot the whole conversation. The three cats nodded, following the leader out of camp. 

    A tad bit later they found themselves in the middle of Hollowclan territory, the scent of Lichenclan was ever so strong here.
    "Quiet!" Ebonystar mewed, sighting around with narrowed eyes through the darkness of moon high. "I heard something..." The she-leader advanced on slowly, her warriors following, it was not long until they found themselves face to face with a Lichenclan warrior and his apprentice. Ebonystar looked over towards her warriors and nodded, two of them advancing forwards, leaping out of the bushes to pin the two Lichnclanners down. While this was happening Ebonystar and the other warrior advanced around them eyeing down at them with almost pure hatred, yet, her smile was still there. 
    "Take them to camp you two! Don't let them escape..." She mewled sweetly towards her warrior, going on with the one warrior she still had left. If she was to prove to Crowstar of the trespassing, she would need proof. 

    It was almost dawn, the she-leader's feet were getting tired. Her warrior next to her held strong on the way to Lichenclan. 
About an hour later they had made it to Lichenclan camp, where Sandferret, the deputy greeted them with a not so happy expression. "What in the name of Starclan...What do you want Ebonystar?" Sandferret mewled, eyeing the two with confusion. 
    "I would like to speak with Crowstar? Alone?" The she-cat would mewl. Sandferret nodded, though she didn't seem in such a rush to get Ebonystar to where she needed to be. 
    "Could you please hurry up dearest? I'm rather tired...I must speak with the leader...I don't have anymore time for questions." The leader mewled, after getting weighed down by consumption and the inquest from the Lichenclan deputy. The she-cat nodded in understanding, finally leading Ebonystar to a Sullen Crowstar.
    "What is it Ebondystar...?" He growled, eyes narrowed in amusement, this had been the second time in a moon she had visisted his clan about something, last time it was simply for the heck of it...What kind of leader was she? 
    Ebonystar lifted her chest and took in a breath, to make herself taller compaired to the tom, though it seemed to fail miserably. 
"Crowstar! I have caught two of your cats on Hollowclan territory! Hmph, they are being held in our camp at the moment, being tended by our warriors....They wont hurt them I promise b-but could you please have a word with them?" She questioned in a bold, quiet, tone. The smile on her maw yet again.

OUT OF CHARACTER SCENARIOS - 

1. Someone has been in your clan for a week but really wants to switch to BoulderClan, insisting on it. Though, the rules say no clan transfers for two days. What do you tell them or how do you handle it?
I would ask them this, "Is there any particular reason you want to move out of Hollowclan?" If they said yes I would ask what, if their reasoning was someone was really getting on their nerves or picking on them I would bring it up with Crowstar and Cloudstar, ask them if a change would be aloud for them, or yet if Cloudstar was even willing to take in yet another character. If their reasoning was invalid and had to do with activity I would tell them they could certainly make another character for Boulderclan, but would have to stay in Hollowclan with this one. 

---

2. It's been pretty quiet and inactive for a few days in HollowClan. How do you increase activity around the clan?
Well, I would try to make sure to make this not happen...First I would post something on the site about Hollowclan activity, I would tell them to stay on for a bit longer then they normally would, even if no-one was on. This would increase more people getting on at once and staying on longer. If that did not work I would make a small little event for Hollowclan under the permission of Crowstar. Maybe like...A large hunting trip? A game? Something interesting. 

---

3. None of the two other leaders are online, leaving you alone. Two people come in who weren't accepted into the role play and start to cuss and break many rules. What do you do about the intruding people?

Generalchat can be a real doozy when dealing with trolls and members who weren't supposed to be here. I would first ask everyone under general to ignore them, if that didn't work I would whisper both of the users and ask them why they were doing this, or what the heck they got out of it. If this didn't work I would block them, and ask everyone to do the same until another leader got online; then we could deal with it further. 

---

4. Some people are joking in group but it ends up going a bit too far, offending a few people and using some terms we don't allow. You tell them to stop, but they won't and continue on. What do you do about them?

After yelling at them I would whisper both of them, telling them there to please stop, and give them my reasoning for doing so. If it continued...They have already broken 3 rules, 1st. Speaking about something that could offend other people, 2nd. Continuing after a leader/admin has asked them to stop, 3rd. STILL continuing even after the admin/leader had asked yet AGAIN. By then I would kick them out of the group if they hadn't stopped. If they gave me poo about it I would ask everyone in my clan to block them, I would not, and I would whisper them yet again about why I kicked them out and what they did wrong.

-Jiggles away from this thread until tomorrow so I can apply-

[Mally]

Before I start, I'd like to say a few things. One; I will move Mally to HollowClan to lead. Two; if chosen for the leadership position for HollowClan, I will devote my time equally between Shiverheart and Mally. I've lead two Clans at the same time before, it's not hard when you have as much time on my hands as I do. If need be, I will prioritize or step down from a position if it doesn't work. I plan to hand-off the ShadowClan reincarnate position to someone else after a little while, or making Shiverheart die, if you let me do that, so that shouldn't be a problem.



FH Username: Wickyd Mally
Character name: Mally, or a new name. I wanted to make her warrior name Firestorm, but Firestar may not be an appropriate leader name. So I've decided on Emberstar, from the name Emberstorm.
Short character description: A wicked cat, she's intelligent, sly, and slightly bad, but not evil. She's a firey cat, with a pelt to match. 7 years old



1. There is a prey and herb shortage, the rain has been making it very cold and hard for the herbs to grow. How do you handle the problem and get your clan by? What do you do to lift their spirits?

Emberstar let out a loud sigh, and a thoughtful mur. She had made up her mind. With a great bound, she was up on the highrock, her long firey pelt waving in the breeze, backlit from the sun, making it look like she was on fire. She called out to her Clan. "Would all Clan cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the high-rock for a Clan meeting!" she called out in her mature voice. She waited patiently for her beloved Clan to gather, looking at them with stern eyes.
"HollowClan!" she meowed loudly, casting her yellow gaze around at the warriors and apprentices of her Clan. "My friends, my family," she spoke softer now, but not without volume. "I understand there is a shortage of prey and herbs. What does this mean for us, though?" she shook her head and raised her voice again. "Nothing! This means nothing for us! The fish still run and the herbs do still grow!" she took a step closer to her clanmates. "We are HollowClan, we always live! We will hunt and search for herbs while we patrol, hunt and find herbs on our free time, and hunt some more!" her Clan was getting rallied up now. "We. Are. HollowClan! So what do we do?" she snarled. "We survive! We're going to get though this. Now, I'm going hunting," Emberstar snarled, determined, and hopped off of the high-rock, immediately padding towards the camp exit.

2. A band of rogues is currently invading, and there are yowls being heard from the nursery. Three kits have been reported missing, many rogues either flee in separate directions and drop dead- but the leader himself is out of sight, as well as the 3 kits. What do you do?

"The kits," Emberar said right before a vicious snarl ripped through her throat with the velocity of a shooting star. She began to run after one she saw with a kit in its jaws. She shot after the burdened rouge, catching up to him quickly. She tackled the tom, the kit flying from his jaws as she did so. She understood that the kit may get hurt, which is better than it getting killed by rouges. She yowled and pinned the rouge, but was quickly met with unsheathed claws on her eye. Her left eye was quickly filled with the color of blood, but she blinked it away and raked her long claws down the rouge's belly. The rouge yowled and squirmed, and not wanting to kill another with her Clan nearby, she let him go. He dashed into the undergrowth and she turned around as the kit's mother picked the kitten up.
"I need two warriors. [deputy], you are to stay in the Clan in case they come back. [warrior] go with [warrior] to BoulderClan. Tell them what happened. Do NOT seem hostile. Ask them to /please/ send patrols looking for the missing HollowClan kits," she growled and padded towards the camp exit. "I will go to LichenClan," she shook her pelt, knowing that it would be best she went to LichenClan, since there was always strife between them.
After swimming across the river and running through LichenClan territory, she took a deep breath and padded into the LichenClan camp with her tail low. Silence. They all looked at her before Crowstar appeared in front of her.
"What are you doing here?" he hissed and looked behind her, presumably for other HollowClan warriors. Emberstar shook her head and spoke calmly.
"It's just me," she mewed. "Rouges attacked our camp and stole two kits." She paused and looked into Crowstar's face. "Please, help us."
Crowstar stood there for a minute, looking at her.
"How would you like our help?" he questioned and Emberstar sighed.
"Send out a few patrols, please, looking for the kits. You don't have to engage the rouges, just tell us where they are, if you find them." She pleaded with him with her eyes. Of course, she was playing with his emotions to look so desperate, but that didn't mean she didn't feel so concerned about the kits.
Crowstar nodded. "We will."
Emberstar stepped forward. "Thank you, Crowstar." She nearly said, 'we owe you,' but LichenClan hadn't yet actually found the kits.
Emberstar returned to her camp, seeing that all was peaceful, aside from the dead rouges and the distress. None of her Clan had died, but a few were injured severely.
Emberstar went to help those who needed it, assisting the medicine cat as she could.

3. LichenClanner scents keep appearing around the borders, a little too close for comfort. Since the prey is low, intruding on territory is frowned upon more then ever. How do you handle the strange scents lingering in the territory?

Emberstar kept a steady face. "And you're /sure/ you scented LichenClan /in/ the territory?" she queried the apprentice and warrior who stood before.
"No, not in, but on the border, very close," the warrior answered and Emberstar shook her head.
"Tensions are always high with LichenClan already, we don't need to go in there accusing them of something they may not have done," the she-cat said and went on to declare, "if you scent them /in/ our territory, I will go with one warrior to ask them about it. One warrior, we don't need a battle," she nodded and asked if there was anything else. With a no, she nodded and padded off to her den to think.

OUT OF CHARACTER SCENARIOS - As a leader, you must also be a moderator out of character. Please tell us how you would handle the following problems.

1. Someone has been in your clan for a week but really wants to switch to BoulderClan, insisting on it. Though, the rules say no clan transfers for two days. What do you tell them or how do you handle it.

I tell them no, but I suggest they could make another character and join BoulderClan on that, reminding them to remain active on their first character. If they already made their third character, I would suggest terminating one, then making a new BC character. If they insist they can't do that and must transfer, I will ask why. If it is for a good RP reason, then I will allow it with Cloudstar's permission. If it's because they just want to, I will deny it or talk to Cloudstar and Crowstar, depending on the demeanor of the person.

2. It's been pretty quiet and inactive for a few days in HollowClan. How do you increase activity around the clan?

Recruit for one, on my free time when people don't want to roleplay. Then, actually roleplay, and do fun things. Sometimes it's okay to be silly, too, so be silly when people don't want to roleplay, generally let-loose because you don't have to roleplay 24/7. In rp, I'd assign people patrols, apprentices, etc. and generally promote Clan-life.

3. None of the two other leaders are online, leaving you alone. Two people come in who weren't accepted into the role play and start to cuss and break many rules. What do you do about the intruding people?

I'd ask them kindly to stop, and if they don't, report them to both Crowstar and the FH staff. In the meantime, I ask everyone in the map to either ignore them or mute them. If they do not, they risk a strike for not cooperating and spreading poor conduct.

4. Some people are joking in group but it ends up going a bit too far, offending a few people and using some terms we don't allow. You tell them to stop, but they won't and continue on. What do you do about them?

A strike for each, and if they're already at their second, now third, strike, I'd ban them and report them to FH staff. Of course, they may not leave and continue to do it, get angered, etc., at which point I would ask people to mute them or ignore them.

Short character description:
Since he was the son of Silentstar (yes this was RPed out ;u;), he is the spitting image of the former leader, other than except for blue eyes, he has a very light yellow. Since some may not know what Silentstar looked like, I will simply describe Falcon for you. He is a tan-colored tom with darker spots on his face, flanks, and tail. He has a lighter underbelly, with darker coloration above and below his eyes. As for build (you cannot see this, but it's what his shape is.), he is very large like his father had been, with broad shoulders, long legs, and a well-built frame.

RP SCENARIOS - These are scenarios that you will ROLE PLAY OUT. You must write them as if they are happening before you in game, like a sample. You DO NOT say "I would do this, and I would do that." 


1. There is a prey and herb shortage, the rain has been making it very cold and hard for the herbs to grow. How do you handle the problem and get your clan by? What do you do to lift their spirits?


    Falconstar watched his obviously unhappy and down-spirited Clan sit about the camp, worry on a few of their faces,while some just simply looked downright moody. Frowning, the tan-spotted tom shook his head, shifting on his haunches to get more comfortable on the highrock atop which he was perched. /I ought to do something to try and cheer them up. It's not as if all hope is lost./ The male thought, shoulders hunching in a small shrug. Clearing his throat, the HollowClan leader rose from where he was seated, jaws parting to call out to his fellow Clanmates. "Cats of HollowClan!" The feline called, eyeing each feline that turned with his light-yellow colored gaze, sweeping it over the small clearing that cats were often found sitting about between sleep and patrols. A few appeared to turn with annoyance, but the cat shrugged it off mentally, knowing that he too had begun to feel short-tempered. "We ought to not look so glum, look at the lot of you!" He cried, yet, humor lined his voice, trying to raise the spirits of the ones he watched over. "Sure, it is raining. Yet, are we not the Clan of water? This will mean prey will flourish! As for our lack of herbs, as you all may know, once the rain stops, the ground will have plenty of moisture to raise the plants healthy and tall!" He reasoned, flashing a smile of encouragement to the many cats below his paws. A few smiles returned to his, sending a bubble of joy into his chest, causing a light purr. Just like his father. "Now, why don't we get up and about so we have no need to mope about? Aspenwing, Littlebird, Birdsong, Mouseflick, why don't you all go out for a hunting patrol? Pantherleap, you may choose a few warriors to accompany you on an herb search, take as many as you like," he finished, before a grin spread across his maw. "In fact... why don't we get some fun going around here? Apprentices, kits, and any warriors who don't get assigned to a patrol, gather around the highrock! We are going to have oursleves a moss-ball tournament. The winning team gets first pick on what the hunting patrol brings back," Falconstar declared, corners of his mouth curving in a smile as small mews of delight or happiness sounded through the camp, causing one of his own to sound from the leader's maw. /Well done. You've managed to raise their spirits./ The male thought, nodding to himself, before leaping off of his perch, meeting the cats gathered below with a smirk. "Now, lets get started."

---

2. A band of rogues is currently invading, and there are yowls being heard from the nursery. Three kits have been reported missing, many rogues either flee in separate directions and drop dead- but the leader himself is out of sight, as well as the 3 kits. What do you do?


    Falconstar panted slightly, his four paws separated as he stood in a defensive stance, watching as the remainder of the rogues were struck down by his own warriors. /Thank the ancestors for their bravery./ The HollowClan leader thought, letting out a growl as he returned to reality. Aspenwing had come and alerted him of the three missing kits, and the male nodded to his warrior. Turning, the male leapt atop the highrock, not bothering to call a meeting with the formal cry. This was much too urgent, the lives of young cats could be on the line, and if they did not hurry, he feared they would eb too late in their expedition to recover them. "I need a patrol of warriors to go with me! I will leave very few cats here, as the only rogue left is their fox-hearted leader," the tom growled, not even noticing his curse, despite their being young ears to hear it. "I will be taking Aspenwing, Badgermask, Pebblespot, Lilytuft, Dawnleaf, Mouseflick, Littlebird, and Birdsong with me. We will hunt down this cat on his scent trail, and plans will be made once we are out. The remainder of you, stay along the outskirts of camp, and keep watch. Pantherleap, you may go around to the cats still in camp and tend to their injuries. Those of us going out will be checked once we return. Move out!" The tom yowled, not bothering to pause and wait for expressions. Everyone else seemed to be as desperate as he was. Halting at the camp exit, Falconstar eyed all the cats gathered about him, doing an identity check and head-count to make sure everyone and only the ones he had called were preset. "Me, Aspenwing, Littlebird, Birdsong, and Mouseflick will follow this cat's scent trail, and catch him! In case he has hidden those poor 3 youngsters, I want the rest of you to search the territory, and see if you can find anything else we should know about!" The leader called out, watching as nods of agreement passed over each cat gathered. With a nod of approval himself, the HollowClan cat raced off with a flick of his light-tipped tail.

---

3. LichenClanner scents keep appearing around the borders, a little too close for comfort. Since the prey is low, intruding on territory is frowned upon more then ever. How do you handle the strange scents lingering in the territory?


    Falconstar frowned slightly, watching his Clanmates linger around the camp, a few whispering about the appearing of LichenClan scents on the territory. /I don't want to make an false accusations. I'd better speak to Crowstar before I decide to approach this with teeth and claws./ The HollowClan leader thought, letting out a sigh. Standing on his haunches, the male leapt down off the highrock, landing rather ungracefully due to his large size. "Aspenwing, Mouseflick, Littlebird, and Flutteringpaw. I'd like the four of you to accompany me on a... visit, to LichenClan. I will be speaking to Crowstar of the scent appearances on our territory. I want the lot of you to hold your tongues, and show absolutely no hostility to them," he finished sternly, ignoring grunts of annoyance to the final comment he had made. Turning to his deputy, the tan-colored tom dipped his head to the feline. "You'll be in charge," he mewed, voice obviously meant for his loyal deputy. Flicking his lightly-tipped tail, the cat turned away, nodding to the Clanmates on his newly named patrol. "Come along," he meowed simply, before turning to race off.
---    Arriving at the LichenClan border, Falconstar spotted a small border patrol, blinking his yellow eyes. /Well, that was conventient./ The HollowClan leader thought with a chuckle, despite himself. Straightening his posture, the long-tailed cat trotted over to the small bunch of LichenClanner's who's fur bristles at the sight of him and his followers. "Greetings, cats of LichenClan," he meowed simply, not much emotion in his tone to try and keep the peace on both sides of the border.
    "What do you want, Falconstar?" One of the warriors, a pure grey she-cat with long fur, growled, her tail lashing about in hostility. The cats beside her grunted in agreement, though they appeared to be lest aggressive than the female.
    "I wish to speak to Crowstar," he replied flatly, staring forward at the angered molly. Who snorted, but didn't argue. /Thank the ancestors./ Falconstar thought with a mental sigh.
    "Alright, follow me," one of the other warriors, a brown-tabby tom, replied, dipping his head to the HollowClan leader. At least some respected him, and had manners.

OUT OF CHARACTER SCENARIOS - As a leader, you must also be a moderator out of character. Please tell us how you would handle the following problems.



1. Someone has been in your clan for a week but really wants to switch to BoulderClan, insisting on it. Though, the rules say no clan transfers for two days. What do you tell them or how do you handle it?


I'd  go to whisper with this person or PM them on the site, and inforn them on rules of Clan transferring. If they continued to insist on switching, I'd ask them why they would like to. If they say something like BoulderClan is more active, I'd tell them that I could fix this problem by whispering other members, or perhaps recruiting more. Another thing I could do if they said inactivity, could be I'd tell them that they would be allowed to make another character for BoulderClan, if they asked Cloudstar for permission, and if they did not already have their 3 Clan characters. If their reason, say, was they just thought they liked BoulderClan better suddenly, I'd tell them that they must remain loyal to their start Clan unless given a good reason, and that they make a character for BoulderClan if they asked Cloud for permission, and did not already have their Clan limit.

2. It's been pretty quiet and inactive for a few days in HollowClan. How do you increase activity around the clan?


There is quite a few ways someone could go about this, and I'd actually do a lot of them. One, and probably most effective way, would be to recruit, but of course, this does not always work. I'd perhaps announce in general that people with HollowClan characters should try and be more active on them, and try to use it more. Another thing could be, I could post something on the site that requires certain activity for members of HollowClan, unless of course they post an absence. Another, more fun approach, could be arranging something special for the Clan. -Jiggles-

3. None of the two other leaders are online, leaving you alone. Two people come in who weren't accepted into the role play and start to cuss and break many rules. What do you do about the intruding people?


I would immediately inform the people currently online to turn off general chat, but not to block them quite yet. I'd calmly confront the two people, asking them to please stop what they were doing, though this mostly never works. If this does not succeed, I'd ask them why they were doing what they were doing, and why it benefited them. If they did not answer to this, I would inform everyone to block these people, and wait for Crowstar / Cloudstar to get online to help me out. After all, 2-3 heads are better than one.

4. Some people are joking in group but it ends up going a bit too far, offending a few people and using some terms we don't allow. You tell them to stop, but they won't and continue on. What do you do about them?


First, I would try once more to tell them to stop, and that they were breaking rules and offending people, calmly, of course. If this does not work, I would first inform them in group that if they continued, they would be given a strike. If they don't respond, I'd move this to whisper, informing each separately. I hope it wouldn't come to this, but if they did not even stop then, I would inform Cloudstar, or hopefully Crowstar, as he is the owner of this RP and has more power over such things with members. If it came to it, I'd either inform the Clan to block them for a time period until we got things settled, or I'd be forced to remove them from the group until things were sorted out.

And this was my sexy application!

Good luck to all those who enter the possibility for HollowClan leader!
