LOLTERNATIVE Okay so I've mentioned this to Mind a few times, but everytime I do it's always when she's offline so I'll post it here and see if the idea will generate enough interest to actually be plausible. I proposed to Mind the idea of a dance contest among the females who wish to enter. Prizes would be given out and the winner would be able to declare herself the best dancer in the flock. On top of this, the males will entertain the females in between dances. Sort of like a pageant in which they show off notable skills in hopes of attracting a female to mate with. THIS IS JUST THE BASIC IDEA. If you have input, feel free to lemme know. o vo I would love to participate in this with Aquilina! She practices ritualistically something of a mixture between dance and combat. She's also very competitive!

As you already know LOL, My girls and boys would love to be involved in someway once we get this set up. The boys would likely focus on entertaining in a non-competitive way, setting up meals, or being involved in group shows o3o And of course, Setting up prizes, a feast, costumes, music, and decorations and trying to organize artisans. Laveda would like to act as one of the judges, and Risuleri would want to compete and show off.
I was thinking about a way to make the contest believable but fair. I was pondering a roll of the dice for each 'move' you plan on doing in your section when its your turn to compete. We could make a special thread for it outside of the RP and just link to it at the start of your post when you post your piece in that particular competition. Quite possibly in the flock guild.
Like roll 5d10's if you had five major moves to show off in the dance your mare was performing, with 1 being so nervous you can barely move/fail so spectacularly that it shakes you somewhat, requiring you to pause momentarily (ICly, but not OOCly) and 10 performing it with heartbreaking perfection.
If your mare's (or really even stallions) profession is a Dancer or performer such as Vanya or Risuleri (who's my dancer) or has an agreed upon reason to be good at a particular trait (Such as with choreographed combative rhythm dancing or war based dances done by Roniel) there could be a roll of some sort for a bonus 'flourish', and if a 1 is rolled they can roll for a recovery before writing the rp up in the competition thread.
The whole competition/festival could be done in multiple rps going on at the same time/starting at various times throughout the IC day/week of the pageant so actual competitions are done on the side and announced Canonly for observers, but mares/stallions could chat without a posting order in character while not interrupting/overwhelming competitors or 'judges' (though it'd be actually based on the roll of the dice)

You see these shackles, baby, I'm your slave. Name: Nymphalidae Soquili's name & cert: Bifröst Reason for joining: My first stallion who joined, Triboulet, wasn't happy to be a captive -- he had a lifemate outside of the herd -- and was able to escape during the big attack. I am still very interested in being a part of the herd it some way, though, and really wanted to play a male who actually likes being a part of it. Bifröst seemed to be a good fit -- he's unattached to anyone, is very open minded, and is particularly fond of anything and everything beautiful, male or female. He'd probably be a little weary first when he realizes, oh hey, you can never ever leave... but Bifröst would warm up to it really quickly and would love to serve the harpies. He would lavish them with kind compliments on their beauty, and do the best he can to entertain them with dancing. He wishes he could make pretty things for them, but he has big clunky hooves. sad He would, however, love to spend time collecting treasures to give to them. How did he end up being captured?: Open to anyone who wants to capture him! He wouldn't really need to be roughed up to be captured. He could be convinced to come along fairly easily with just words. Will you be escaping later? If yes, how?: Nope! He'll take some getting used to the situation, but he'll be happy to stay. AIM?: PoufyWerewolf Do you acknowledge that you understand the Flock's practices?: Yes! I am still a little slow with RP but I am always always happy to do backstory, and if you're patient, I'd love to RP!

I dont see anything that stands out and makes me question the plot ideas/personality enough to need to contact Dragain about it, so Approved!
biggrin And its alright -- the Guild's been trying to figure out tools one can use with their mouth, and work side by side with those lacking front claws, so he could be trained in some things if he took an interest in it and had the patience to work with someone on it. And the artisan guild is set in a cavern with a collapsed roof, near a vein he could mine from if he was interested in collecting pretties, or he could help tend to domesticated animals or assist the familiar members of the flock who have joined the guild in collecting materials from nature (Along with an NPC Harpy Guard)
I have two girls who'd work for catching him. Risuleri sounds like she'd be a better fit though since Laveda would pounce first and then ask questions while he's captive, but Risuleri's a flirt and prefers convincing people into joining than using violence, and I could easily just take him to Laveda to check the spirit's thoughts on him and make sure he's ok to be there by 'their word'.

Awesome! Oh gosh, he will just want to do all the things in the artisan guild. XD He'd be happy to learn more about making things using his mouth. I think his humming bird familiar, Asbrú, might be able with smaller details using his tiny beak as well. I think he'd me most interested in mining for jewels or other pretty rocks, but would also be happy to collect materials from nature with the herd's familiars! She is small, but Asbrú would help with that too so she could stay near Bifröst.

Galla is graceful and had considered being a dancer before realizing she could serve her sisters best as a guard. But she says she can outdance them all. ( Awfully competitive isn't she? >.>)
So in XD

She uses persuasion rather than force.

Oh sweet! I lost the link to that one (I forgot to bookmark it @_@) @ Nyx: Actually Nymph and I discussed my girl Risuleri catching him, since I haven't gotten a chance to RP her yet and doesnt like being violent towards other soquili so talks stallions into joining the flock. o3o *snug* However! We could end up involving Galla into the RP at some point later on!

WOW I TOTALLY MISSED A LOT IN HERE. /SHOT./
As for the competition; I like the idea of having it being dice rolled and something extra for those who are dancers/skilled in dancing. It seems to be fair. c:
Multiple RPs would be the easiest way to do it since it won't be cluttered. One main RP for everyone participating and then the RP for the dance itself and maybe a seperate RP for commentating? Just so the dance RP doesn't get.. confusing. XD Unless you think it'd be okay for the commentating to be in the same RP as the dance.
Also welcome to the flock, Bifröst!
