Okay, so I was thinking, and I came up with the idea of a COMMUNIST PACK!
I'm relatively new with not very many pawprints, so if I'm to do this I'll need lots of help.
Anyway, the idea is that there's a communist pack! It could be like Animal Farm (we're doing that in English); the pack is formed by a band of wolves who strongly believe in everybody being equal, and slowly a few wolves seize power. I think that'd be a really cool plot, plus an awesome pack. Then the firebrand wolf who actually believes in communism could rebel against the dictator and then there can be lots of turmoil. The other packs could even join in on one side or another if they wanted, and the communist pack could try and convert them to communism.
For names, I'm thinking the ____ Partnership or ____ Group, for equality, or the ____ Sanctuary (because wolves who don't like being ordered around and made to fit in other packs' heirarchies can come here!)
The _____ could just be a nonsense word, but we could also make it something in Latin! I really like the Lux Nox Sanctuary... the light night sanctuary, literally. It pretends to be light, but really is evil- night! Suggestions welcome!
Pack colours... well, I was thinking white for equality and purity of purpose and stuff (or at least, they pretend to be equal and pure of purpose), but that's kind of taken by the Children, so I'm thinking along the lines of black and purple? Simple and striking. Suggestions?
Ranks? Everybody's MEANT to be equal. So for each rank we could have what-they're-meant-to-be description and a what-they-really-are description.
For instance:
Leader
Officially: The leader has no more rights than any other pack member, as all decisions are made by vote and all wolves are equal. However, somebody has to stand up and inform the wolves which decision is being voted on and all the background info, so this wolf acts as meeting co-ordinator and general organiser, as well as a listening ear.
Really: The leader is a dictator with absolute power. She/he can't order people around or it will become really obvious what's happening, but anybody who opposes him/her is framed as a traitor. Everybody has to pretend to love them.
You see? I really like this idea! I'm unsure on territory, but I'm sure we can find somewhere.
Some wolves we'd need would be somebody to play the evil sneaky dictator leader (volunteers?), somebody to play the firebrand commander who actually believes in Communism and fights for it (I volunteer! I shall call her... Emily! Nah, I'll think of something) and who eventually gets framed for treachery so the dictator can seize power (I'll either go to another pack when I'm exiled and ask them to support me and try and help me get my rightful place back, or I'll spend some time as a loner maybe trying to secretly gather support within the pack) and some supporters for both leaders. Maybe a Molly-type charrie, for those who read Animal Farm? Who eventually leaves and goes to, I dunno, the Mafia? Something evil with a dictator she can suck up to.
Either way, I love this idea, so please, please, please respond!
