Pups, Mating, & Rule Following in General

[ARTEMIS!]

I am completely bewildered and thrown back by the lack of respect you guys are having for the staff sometimes. If a staff member tells you something, you listen. If you don't like it, PM them, and I am sure they will be more than happy to explain why, etc. We have rules for a reason, and they are to be followed. To completely ignore those rules is a slap in the face. To look for a "loophole" and use that is a bigger slap to the face. The rules are there to keep the site running properly. They are not just there for kicks.

On these notes, I want to touch on mating and pups. Since we just had a pupsplosion, I did not want anymore pups being born. I continually said in the cbox if any wolves mated they would be receiving a stillborn litter or deformed pups. I did not want any litters until school started. And yet still people have had their wolves mated, DESPITE knowing I do not want anymore puppies.

I feel like what I said has been ignored, and to be quite frank, it has. I do not want to have to suggest making mating something that must be approved by an admin before happening, but I will if I have to. Keeping this in mind, anymore characters whose sole purpose in life is to procreate will either be asked to change, or will not be allowed. These characters will not produce puppies everytime they mate.

As well, keep reality in mind. We may have fantasy characters, but things should still be somewhat realistic. WW is not Twilight; you do not meet a wolf one day and then bear his pups the next. If this is happening you are in direct violation to the rules; Mary-Sue characters will not be tolerated.

I do not like feeling mean, but I honestly think that some members are ignoring the rules and wishes of the staff. As a note though, no pups whatsoever will be allowed until the beginning of October. The only exception to this is the Tor x Scorch litter. If there is a litter that needs to happen for plot reason (and not just "OMG THEY ARE IN LOVE") please PM me and I will consider it.

If you have read this please reply, just stating your username. If you have any problems with anything I have stated, PM me.

-nods- Ethereal agrees with all the points. The only plans for pups I have right now are the eventual Rava/Zubayr babies but those won't happen for a while. I actually want Rava to build relationships with other characters before the fact so that she will have someone to turn to after the rape. Anyway I understand the frustration with loopholes, and I fully support the staff putting their foot down on this.

Not that it needs to be added since I have also tried to explain in the cbox but everyone should think about the following:

Three pack alphas just had litters of three, two other wolves had litters, one had seven pups, and one had two. I want everyone to add up how many pups there where for ALL those litters. Now, all those litters had plots to be in, but we STILL had a problem getting all those pups played. I myself had to take on an EXTRA pup so it wouldn't die. With our recent administrative decision to require 15 IC posts before new creations or adoptions can happen many people are NOT adopting characters. Everyone choosing to "down their character numbers" are putting up characters for adoption, people who are leaving are putting up characters, people are being forced to archive characters. There is just no room for these "random/rape" broods right now. Not until we get an influx of members and activity goes back up and the dust settles from the recent pupslosion.

Characters need to be more well developed than "I'm going to go mate with that one, and that one and that one", how one dimensional, I believe here at WonderWhy we are capable of so much more.

I'm sorry for all of the trouble everyone has caused, especially if I've caused any myself. I agree with you completely, but this is why I took it to a PM rather than attacked you in the cbox about it. I hope none of this will happen again.

I feel a large sense of regret... I am sorry for my character Nautic. I do have story for him being the way he is and a lot of people tend to love/hate him for it. I do believe this is a good idea as he does tend to mate with various wolves... but he does not care what happens afterwards involving pups. He could care less, therefor unless the other person really wants the pups I highly doubt I will be making it a habit. And it's not like he plans to impregnate every female he meets... he is just a sex addict.

If he is too much of a nuicence from now own let me know, Im sure we have plenty of characters already that would love to kill him off and make life easier for Art and any other troubled staff members. x3

I second the notion Art, seems perfectly reasonable to me. I usually try to play out mates appropriately (mates usually are serving as companions above all for me, not so much for making pups except in the Torch circumstances for it plays in well with the Mafia"s current circumstances of bringing new life/reign in to get it active again), but I am gald to have this reminder to keep a watchful eye on my own plots which do tend to deviate. Apologies if I have contributed in any way to this mess,
Scorch, Somatra, Coneiron, Keinvarii, Citrine, Artellia, Swalleena, Valkyrie and eventually Daedalus/Torch pup (my only future plans for extra chars).

Cy and all that it entails character wise.

[kasmira]

I firstly want to say that I understand your point of view Art, as well as the other staff if they agree with you. I agree with the ban and the anti Mary Sue characters, as well as the random wolves having pups with several mates all over the place.

I have to say that I always viewed mating and having pups as a sort of sacred thing, like marriage, and that if a couple have pups then they should stay together. However, this is all just my opinion, and I agree with everything else.

Characters: Kasmira, Faye, Raynor, Lawson and Zippora

[wonderwhywolfs]

I agree Arty. And i also agree with what Kas says. nothing much more to say...so my Characters: Cyra, Thalia
