[OOC] Weekly Pride Announcement Rules and Form: New Update!

[ShinosBee]

Pride: Kizingo'Zaa
Owners: ShinosBee, Thalion
Did all active owners give their consent? Yes.
Announcement: Starting October 1st, massive changes will be ripping through the Kizingo'Zaa, signaling the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. Muhali, Goddess of Insanity, and the god in charge of protecting the Kizi (and making them insane) has gone missing! The God of Peace, Li, has given the pride a blessing which has lifted the insanity of the area! Seeing an opportunity, the Goddess of Thieves has stepped in to teach the pride how to protect themselves now that they can't count on the curse/blessing of Muhali to protect them!

Changes have already been made to all the pride's info threads, so PLEASE reread everything, as some of the most critical aspects of pride life have been altered due to this! We have also set up a thread to post what ranks your SoA will be changing to, and if they are staying or leaving. After the 1st all changes will officially go into effect, and Meta RP will begin as the pride tries to settle down after these great changes!  

[RefilweOluchi]

Pride: Refilwe'Oluchi
Owners: Safaia, Ecavi
Did all active owners give their consent? Yes
Announcement:

The Refilwe'Oluchi is being disbanded due to general OOC loss of interest and activity. ICly, the general unrest caused by the change in the Elohim council was never resolved and slowly but surely, pride numbers have dwindled to a point where it was best for everybody remaining to go their separate ways.

[Whimsical Blue]

Pride: Antianeira
Owners: Bluefire Dragonz
Did all active owners give their consent? yes
Announcement:
The queen has recently left on a quest for cubs to help with reviving the pride. With no new cubs since the males were cast out, she worries that the pride will stagnate. She's leading by example.

When she returned, she gathered the pride and announced they would be having an end-of-year festival! Everyone needs something to lift their spirits and to bond with their fellow pridemates, so she's got some fun activities planned for everyone.

So far, there will be a ceremony to honor the fallen and passed. Those who care to join will make a procession around the pridelands to leave tokens of remembrance and thanks at the memorial shrines that have been erected so far. There will also be a Tears of Blood ceremony at the end of the procession, reminding everyone what the pride stands for.

Next, there will be a very small welcoming ceremony for those who are new to the pride, any new litters that have arrived, and mothers that are expecting. For a pride without males, new blood is a little harder to come by than for other prides, so every one is precious.

There will also be games for the pride to play, including a hunting contest, storytelling contest, and a cliff diving contest! Winners of the hunting and storytelling contest will win status as Head Hunter and Master Storyteller, while those who excel at cliff diving will win necklaces to show their bravery and strength.

OOCly: If you have any ideas for games or other events for the pride, please PM or IM Blue! I will be sure to look them over and you might be able to run the game yourself. The event will start Oct. 1st and end around Nov. 1st or whenever people have gotten the rp in they wanted to get.

[Das Tor]

Did all active owners give their consent? Yes
Announcement: To all members - You may have noticed the subforum is changing. Well...don't panic! This is the looooooooong overdue overhaul of pridal info and rules...an overhaul that will hopefully balance keeping activity in the pride up and keeping it friendly when RL eats you! You may have noticed RP requirements attached to some ranks...don't worry about these just yet. They won't go into effect until January 1st, 2012! Also, PLEASE make sure to check out the thread labeled [OOC] INFO NEEDED!. This will help us get the memberlist up-to-date without driving Das Tor and Truth.Be.Told up the wall hunting things down!

Announcement:
-We are trying to keep the members list up to date; so if you have litters, new members, rank changes or anything we need to know about; please post in the proper area.

[Baharimtoto Pride]

Pride: Bahari'Mtoto
Owners: Remove
Did all active owners give their consent? Oh yeah smile
Announcement:
Important announcement regarding ALL cubs and members

Since the Tsunami the council has come together to talk about the future of the pride. The future of the pride are the young of the pride. There is an open RP up to announce this but the announcement is that cubs are not allowed by the pride borders it is completely forbidden. The same is to be said along the beach by the sea unless accompanied by an adult from the pride - this has to be a 1:3 ratio. 1 adult to 3 cubs.

All cubs are to be kept in the nursery with the adults. They live and play there and are only allowed out with an adult. This will be a strict rule! Any cubs found out of the nursery on their own will be in huge trouble.

Juves are to decide what it is they wish to do as an adult, they will be taught how to help out in the nursery and allowed at times to shadow the job they wish to do!

Adolescents will be full apprentices.

Adults have two new ranks they can pick from. They can be builders (which will have a better name!) or they can be Hlare who are medicine makers and work along side the Mwani.

The council are broken up like this:

Kwaruza - over looks the hunting and all work with cubs
Quidytch - over looks the Mwani and the Hlare
Nahodha'kota - over looks the Guards and the Builders
Neith - over looks the council to make sure they are doing their jobs!

Your lions will be called to a meeting by Neith which will then be broken up so you can meet your new council member. The builders will be given the task of building the new nursery as this is seen as the most important thing right now. The future of the pride must be kept safe.

If anyone has questions by all means PM me and they shall be answered! Also check the sub-forum more details will go out to make this all clearer. Not a lot is changing as such it's just being more organised.
