A couple of questions

[Guest]

Okay, I was just browsing the site and reading the rules, you know, trying to decide if I want to join or not...and I have a couple of questions, just trying to clear some stuff up.

1. It says "No breeding allowed for any character in TDM" does this mean cats cannot have kits at all? Let's say I want my cat Whitefoot to be mates with player x's cat Blackmoth...basically they can be mates but cannot have children? But then it goes on to say "If you really wish to ask the owner of your character’s mate if they want to too and take it all with pm."...Does this mean yes to mates but no kits? I'm rather confused...

2. I saw nothing regarding naming...Is TDM strictly "traditional" or do you allow wiggle room?

3. Also, if you purchase a Siamese, or Bengal...you say they won't "survive" and that they can have a mate but no kits...why can't they have kits? If they mate with a clan cat...the kits wouldn't be purebred so...the kits would have a better chance at surviving...if they mated with kittypets they they wouldn't have to worry about surviving in the wild...

4. Then you go on to say if you want them to have a second litter you have to purchase it downtown...again I'm still confused about litters here...

5. The whole NPC thing confuses me...NPC means "not played character"...so how can someone RP a character that is NPC...it makes no sense...

6. Not a question...but more of an opinion...I don't find it fair that if a Leader becomes inactive you will put the character up for adoption...why not just replace the spot with the deputy and pick another deputy? It's not fair for the member who rp'd the leader to just have their character that THEY created...just taken from them and given to someone else...that's like saying "hey...you didn't put any work into this charcter but John Doe is inactive with it so you can automatically have it cuz you won it blah blah"...well what if John Doe returns and see's someone else playing HIS character that HE created? Umm that is considered theft...and technically John Doe owns that character's rights...(if you wanna get technical)

I think this is all for now...sorry for the large amount of questioning but it is all rather confusing.

Alright, I am willing to answer any of your questions. I apologize for being late but I couldn't post with the bad network connection I had.

1. Yes, characters can have kits together. What I mean was your characters can't RP mating, but if you really want to do that take it up in private because it just isn't appropiate to have that in the boards.
2. In a way yes. Names in Clans have to be like in the books, warrior names, apprentice, kits, Clan leader names. No first half name such as moon, sun, eclipse, star, and none human related like Brickheart, or Fencepelt.
3. And you have a point there. I was actually thinking of changing it.
4. I'm not sure I meant that, but again I'll take a look.
5. NPC is a character not owned by any member, and which means anyone can rp them. This is to make it easier for members with their characters, so they won't have to try so hard to get their character's entire family adopted by other members or having to kill all/most of them in their character's history. Plus by doing this it adds the atmosphere of Clan life, like back characters in a story.
6. I get that but I don't mean if you were like inactive like for a week, I mean like for months. Such as if the member of that character hasn't been on at all in a month or two and hasn't left an absent thread. Also the purpose of a Clan leader is to live longer and be strong so they can protect and lead their Clan, it won't make sense having a new leader every time that leader's owner has left.

And don't worry. I don't mind the questions, that's what the board is here for after all. Besides the questions help gain a better perspective and fix mistakes I may have overlooked.
