So I've been thinking about creating my own CATS board with the spare time I have now... something a little bit different. Still CATS, but elsewhere.

How about the US? They're still Jellicles. There will be a Jellicle Ball.. only not necessarily in a junkyard. Maybe a Jellicle colony in a run-down, abandoned mansion.. or a ghost town? Not sure of a few particulars, but I was considering having three tribes instead of the typical two with the junkyard and warehouse. You know.

And of course, all the characters shall be original.

I dunno. Does it sound interesting to anyone?


Heck yeah, Eff is in business.

Oh yes, I'd definitely help out in anyway you wanted. So I'd join obviously. And the third tribe does sound like a great idea.

What is the...basic plot of it? Or haven't gotten that far. Abandoned mansion or a ghost town, both sound interesting.

[Vivitevka]

Depending on where I decide to set it, the plot will be different. If it's an abandoned mansion, I think a little infiltration by either of the two other tribes that don't live there would be fun.. or pollicles. Another option. And for the ghost town - well, it could be fun to have a whole western-type theme going, where one tribe rolls ceremoniously into town...

...okay, that may be a little much.

But one thing's for sure, there's going to be decent conflict between the groups already that no matter where they're at, there will already be a fair bit of tension to work with.

ANY AND ALL IDEAS WOULD BE COOL.

[x22x]

Okay, well I understand the plot would change depending on the setting. So I'm guessing the one tribe is the jellicle tribe, the other tribe is run by Macavity, what's the third one? (Might help me to come up with ideas.)

I usually can come up with some great ones.

[Vivitevka]

Aha! This is where it gets different. They're not Jellicle/Warehouse. Since it's set in the US, it's an entirely new cast... Right now, this is what they look like.. z15.invisionfree.com/Effanineffable/index.php?showtopic=2&st=0#entry3084331

[x22x]

Oh wow. I'm loving it completely. LOVE IT! You don't need my help it seems. It's looking very well. I'd try to help though. Ummm...well what would you need help on?

...I'm a bit wierd, I know.

The Maoati, kind of remind me of the grey council, from B5...

[Vivitevka]

No no no, you're not weird at all >< Well, maybe you are, but right now, I don't think you're being weird.

If you want to co-admin with me, that would be awesome! I don't know, are you any good with plots or stuff like that? You can help with, tribe etiquette, maybe? I'm not sure, I've never made a Cats board for anyone but my friends before, let alone a totally new one ><

[x22x]

Hehe, well thanks. I am weird.

Actually I'm pretty good with plots, but usually I have to sleep on it. If that makes sense. Most of my ideas for...anything, plots, poems, stories, drawings, come to me while I sleep. And I wake up in the middle of the night to write them down, or remember them. It's weird. Gah....

But I would definitely help you out. And would love to Co-Admin with you.

[Vivitevka]

Wooo! Awesometastic. I say that sleep-thinking is a gift... I could never do that. I usually come up with things by giving myself a point one and a point two and drawing a connection with variations on themes or words or whatever. It's all a conscious process. But I'd like to see how your method works ^^ If you come up with anything tonight, let me know when you can. We'll have this thing rocking by the new year!! *dances*

[x22x]

Yes, well, I don't ask for it. It just happens. My method does have a downside you know. Some nights I don't get that much sleep. It sucks. But alrighty, I'll definitely try to get on tomorrow night, if I can't seem to think of anything tonight. And give you some ideas. I'm guessing al three tribes bump heads and don't get along all that well.

[Vivitevka]

Hey, I'd rather have a buttload of creativity than sleep, I tell you that. So maybe sometime we'll trade. No rush, like I said. The best things take time, I think...? Whatever! Yeah, they all kind of have their problems with each other, but the strongest issues are the ones that Omegatos has with High Moon. That's about all I know O-o

[x22x]

Alright, I think I can work with that.

Yes, but it's killer when you have all this creativity that you want to get down, but no you have no time to do it. Now that kills me. But I agree, I'd rather have a bunch of creativity than sleep. I'll et all the sleep I need once I'm dead.

Is there a character limit?

[Vivitevka]

There's always time for creativity! Just this week, I made four sketches for NJG while I was supposed to be studying for finals! Take THAT, time! Take that, sleep! *brandishes pencil; yawns*

There should be something of a character limit eventually.. what do you think? I think the max should be five for now. It encourages people to put more thought and work into a few rather than making new characters they hardly play every week or so. And if the players are good with their current characters, we can let them play more, I guess. I don't know. How does everyone else handle character limits? I've never put one on my boards ^^;

[x22x]

Haha...yes, well I finished two drawings, completely, last week. Or this past week. So I feel accomplished. LOL.

This is very true, I would suggest character limit of 4, and see how people keep up with them. When I first started out, I like wanted to rp the max character limit, and...it overwhelmed me. Not anymore, but who knows, we might get a few members, who've never RPed before. I don't know. Then again 5 is okay as well. You could always raise the character limit after awhile. If people are keeping up with the characters they already have. Oh and a suplying a character app. is always a good thing too, but I think you're one step ahead of me.

[Vivitevka]

Four or five, then. That does sound fair. It'll start at four, and then if they feel presumptuous, they can apply for five and we can go "ya ok ur cool" or "no wai u needs wurk" or something.
I'm about to start on the app... after I look for food. Sooo hungry...
