BWP Update
February settles across Relic Lore much quieter than the previous winter months. The snow has begun to taper off, though the occasional storm still rocks Relic Lore with a vengeance unlike any other. Times are becoming desperate as wolves begin to starve and the winter begins to dwindle the population, life by life.
Hunting Opportunity
Two hunting opportunities have presented themselves: one on the Western side of the mountain, and one on the Eastern side. These count as random events, and the opportunity for major health points. There is enough meat to feed an entire pack — but will the packs and wolves of Relic Lore share, or will they aide only their pack and loved ones?
To participate in these threads, keep in mind that no real post order will be given, but a full two days must pass before participants can accept a new round and skip over another. A full bar (or as high as the bar can reach, given the lowered max. limit) can be claimed if enough meat is taken. How far will your wolf fight for survival? Please note, the SoW account will not be used to play the prey.. members must play the prey after posting.
Other BWP Notes
We've come a long way in this plot so far, and have even witnessed a few deaths from the winter. The number of lone wolves have dwindled considerably.. as has everyone's health. Once more, the maximum for the health bars has been lowered to reflect how harsh the winter is on your character.. and the chances for a Food Opportunity has also been lowered.
Post Prompt Opportunities
The following post prompts are available for everyone to participate in. These threads will need to be finished by March 10 to count for RE life points and should be started no later than March 1. Everyone should praise Grey for writing these for us!
"Kingsguard"
Something, predator or prey, stirs along the borders of the pack lands. Whatever it is, one thing is certain... It hungers for sustenance with a hollow belly.
"Pay the iron/gold price"
Each of the standing wolf packs have something valuable. Particular herbs, medical knowledge, stores of food, able bodies, cubs and yearlings, certain professionals... It is up for Leaders and their packs to discuss among themselves what they would give or do to obtain what they need to survive.
White walker!
Something has taken up precedence in the forests of Relic Lore. Do we dare mention what it is what your wolf thought they saw?
Breeding Season!
Breeding season in Relic Lore begins March 1 and ends on the 31. That means any wolves with the intention to breed must do so within this time frame.
Just like last year, this year, every character on RoW can breed (not just Leaders!) But please keep in mind the guidelines below. Any character on RoW can breed this year! Given the below guidelines are followed, of course.
Maximum Number of Pups in a Litter
Lead Couple (both pack leaders) - 3 pups
Leader (only one is leader) - 2 pups
Subordinates - 1 pups
Lone Wolves - 1 pups
Why the lowered number of puppies this year? To meet the realistic after effects of such a hard winter, where every wolf's health has been affected.
Adoption Process
All pups must be adopted by the time it is ready to come out of the den (3 weeks after their birth). The players of pups are responsible for keeping them active. If a pup is removed during an activity check and not reactivated during the following 2 weeks, it will die. Also, a pup that is a lone wolf will need to battle the constant LP deduction.. failure to do so will also result in the death of the pup.
Who can breed?
- Any wolf over the age of 22 months and older is able to breed.
- Pack leaders set the breeding rules in their pack. If a pack leader enforces a no-breeding rule for subordinates, then subordinates who disregard these rules will face the consequences that is set by their leader.
Additional Information
- Two individual characters have the chance to either mate or breed. Breeding results in cubs, mating does not. Those who want to breed with the goal of reproducing will need to respond to the breeding thread signups (to be put up come March 1).
- Two lone wolves who successfully raise one cub to 1 year of age will create a pack. This will substitute the amount of Life Points required by the potential lead wolves in the 'Pack' category.. however, the lone wolves must still meet the other requirements (though two cubs turned yearling will count as pack members).

OTM Voting & General Reminders
With the end of January almost upon us, I want to take the time to point everybody in the direction of the OTM Voting. Voting ends at midnight GMT, February 1st, so we be sure to get your votes in before then! It's been a busy month, so be sure to think about your choices carefully!
I also want to say thanks to everybody for being so patient with bug fixing after the board upgrade. It wasn't as smooth as of transition as I would have hoped and we're still working on ironing out some of the kinks. The bug list is much more manageable now, but if you're still having problems, please don't hesitate to post on the bug thread to let us know. We appreciate your continued patience! Some of the errors found can only be fixed by you guys, so please check below for instructions on how to fix them:
- If you're not receiving PMs, go to your UCP -> Board Settings and click submit. This will check your "Receive PM option" to yes.
- If you're avatar is too big, it's because you didn't follow the maximum guidelines prior to the upgrade! Please resubmit your avatar so it meets the maximum image guidelines.
- Apparently image URLs that start with a / cause an issue, so if yours does, take a look at it and make sure the URL is complete.
- If you quick edit your post or make a quick reply, the HTML in that post might not show up properly. Just refresh the page and it should be back to normal.
The staff would also like to issue some general reminders of problems that have begun and continue to crop up, so please read on and keep these items in mind.
- The chat box is for everyone, which means discussion should be suitable for everyone. Unacceptable behavior includes excessive swearing, bullying, arguing, flirting, and just being rude in general. If the staff sees unacceptable behavior, you will get a warning. If it continues, your ability to use the chat will be revoked. RoW isn't the place for any of these things to be occurring, especially publicly.
- We've noticed that many members don't feel the need to respond to staff PMs. If a staff member PMs you, please do us the courtesy of answering it. We always use PM tracking, so we know if you've read it, but not answering us doesn't make the situation go away. So please, be courteous and acknowledge that you've received the message so we can resolve the issue quickly and easily.
- Health Deductions occur every Sunday, so be sure to be on the lookout for food opportunities!

| Scheduled Maintenance -- Updated Again! |

Scheduled Maintenance
Just a heads up that RoW will be going offline either tonight or tomorrow for some scheduled maintenance. I need to some upgrades and it's easiest to do if the board is offline so no information is at risk of being lost. I don't have a specific time currently, but a notification will be posted when the site is offline with an estimated downtime.
To prepare for maintenance, I would recommend making backups of your character information. I of course make site wide backups, but it never hurts to have your own in case something goes wrong. It would also be helpful if you went through your PMs and cleared out ones that you no longer need - whether they are in your inbox, sent items folder, or anywhere else.
Please be aware that the staff have been asked to not fill Maintenance requests until the site maintenance is done. This is to prevent that data being lost, so please be patient with the staff in fulfilling your requests.
The site chat should still be functional for at least some of the site maintenance. To continue to access the chat while the board is offline, you can follow these three steps.
- Log in. You will be redirected back to the Offline Board Message.
- Go to http://relic-lore.net/newchat
- Continue to chat
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks for your cooperation and your patience!

| The Herds have Migrated |

The Prey has Completely Vanished
January has hit Relic Lore and with it, the famine strikes in full. The herds are fully gone now, while sightings of any form of prey has become even scarcer. With no food in the lands.. what will the wolves of Relic Lore do to survive?
Health Bars
Health bars have been introduced at the beginning of the plot but have yet to come in to true form. Now, each activity check, wolves will be deducted health points. Every pack wolf will be deducted 5 points per activity check, while every lone wolf will be deducted 10. The maximum health a pack wolf can currently have is 80.. the maximum a lone wolf can have is 70.
Reminder
We've noticed members still 'hunting' food — keep in mind, since the beginning of December, there has been NO prey spare for the Random Event posts that appear in a thread and offer a health opportunity for its participants. Otherwise, there is absolutely no food available to your character and nothing to hunt.
Post Prompt Opportunities
The following post prompts are available for everyone to participate in. These threads will need to be finished by February 1 to count for RE life points and should be started no earlier than January 6. Everyone should praise Grey for writing these for us!
"Fear is for the winter, my little lord."
Post Prompt (Cubs). Cubs by the time of their first snowfall are roughly 6-7 months old (mentally 10-11 human years old). They may begin to hunt on their own, but are prone to discovering strange, unnerving and unfamiliar things... Summer and Autumn are all they have ever known and now Winter is about to give them the harshest lessons yet. (Dead crows, frozen bones, sibling spars over scraps of food, storytelling to prevent wayward wandering, etc.)
"There is no middle ground."
Post Prompt (Lone Wolves). Lone Wolves who are not affiliated with the resident packs will find their energy is beginning to wane. When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. Lone Wolves, should they wish to survive must hold an audience with a pack superior.
Night's Watch
Standing packs, in light of the impending heavy snowfall and dire conditions Relic Lore is adopting by the hour, either keep their Scouts close or send them off in search of resources.

RoW Council, Wolf List, Random Events
Lots of updates, so let's get started! But first, let's all take a moment to thank all things wonderful that the semester is finished (or almost finished) and the holidays are here!
RoW Council
So here's the deal: we got a lot of really great staff applications. So great, that we honestly couldn't decide who would be the best fit for the team, and as much as we wanted to add multiple people, having too many cooks in the kitchen is a bad idea. So instead, we'd like to introduce to everyone the RoW Council (click for Library Article).
What we've decided to do is create a council that will rotate members every three months. This council will help participate in game discussion and will help with the upkeep of the game. By rotating the council, the staff hopes to include and act on different voices in the community and make the game better for everyone.
With that said, we'd like to congratulate Becuffin (@Naira), Mimi (@Maksim), and Allie (@Lucero) for being chosen as our first council members!
Wolf List
Sarah has already done a fantastic job, but everyone should head on over to the Wolf List which will help everyone keep track of where everybody's characters are during the BWP. If you'd like to make a correction, please feel free to post in that thread. All new members should be sure to add their characters to that list by responding to the thread.
Random Event: WINTER SOLSTICE
Courtesy of Grey, here's a BWP themed winter event. Remember, until the winter solstice, the days are short and the nights are long, dark, and full of terrors.
This Random Event will run until January 1st.
The strongest trees are rooted in the dark places of the earth. Darkness will be your cloak, your shield, your mother's milk. Darkness will make you strong... The trees and forests of Relic Lore provide decent protection from the winds but still allow the snows to filter through and chill it to its roots. When the sun sets and the frost makes the trees creak, what unimaginable dangers have come under the cloak of night?

EDIT: GUYS! We've hit 28,000 IC posts!!! WHOOO!

The last of the bright colored autumn leaves has fallen, taking with it the warmth of sunshine. The days grow shorter now — darkness envelops Relic Lore with a chill that rakes much closer to the skin so early in the months of winter than before. The snow has begun already; a myriad of flurries that break in to a light snow and dust the territory grounds.. the accumulation is slow, but already, the depths reach ankle deep.. another record of these lands. The herds scatter further than before.. migration patterns begin to reveal their journey closer to the edges of the Lore.. Winter is coming.
Introducing RoW's Boardwide Plot #3
.. It looks like the staff of RoW have developed another interactive boardwide plot for our members to enjoy and participate in! This is a plot that will affect everyone's character in terms of their health and lifestyle.. after all, sometimes, life doesn't go as we all plan, so why not with our characters as well? As this plot continues, certain developments will come in to play.. but you'll have to wait and see what that is. :)
Migration of RoW Herds
It looks like the herds in Relic Lore are thinning drastically.. the remaining herds can now be seen in our In Character section right beneath our map thumbnail. We highly encourage members to keep an eye on this -- herds and larger prey mentioned can only be sought out in the following areas for now, unless a Food Cache opportunity (explained below) appears. Smaller prey like rabbits, birds, and other small mammals are also getting harder to find... what could this mean for the wolves of Relic Lore?
Weather
A light snow has begun across the lands of Relic Lore.. Such a sighting is not odd in November.. and yet, every inhabitant seems to realize that the snow is accumulating a bit faster than normal. Was it ankle deep last year around this time?
Health Bars
This plot has brought on the new health bars that everyone can see attached to their character! These are an indication of your character's current health, and can be edited by each member -- because of this, we are putting heavy emphasis on the honor system to this new feature. Do not add or take away points that are not merited to your character. If we feel the system is being abused by any individual, we will manually edit your health bars as we (staff) deem fit. These health bars affect the fight system stats of each individual character, and is primarily based on hunger and any injuries obtained. The maximum health for a pack wolf is 100%, while the maximum for a lone wolf is only 90%. There is a benefit to being part of larger groups this season.
Food Caches
To work alongside the new health bar system, we have introduced a food cache system. This works through a plugin that gives each IC post by a character a percentage of a chance to find a certain piece of food or hunting opportunity. This is only a prompt to the thread, and your character can only gain the health opportunity if the thread has a direct response to finding or taking advantage of the opportunity. An example would be if your character finds part of an elk carcass, you can only add the points to your health bar if you respond by eating the carcass.
Of course, when there are multiple characters in a thread, the food cache find can either be fought over for the points, or shared and divided equally. We hope to see some interesting development begin to stir from this. ;)

[dohtml] The Reaping
As the leaves start to fall and the daylight begins to wane, wolves find themselves clinging to the ties that hold them together as a pack. The frosts came far too early this year, and can only mean that the impending winter months will be harsh. The pack wolves huddle close, knowing that the trust they have carefully forged between one another might be the key to survival. They can feel it in their bones...
winter is coming
Fun contest times, yay!
In honor of unity, each pack will be given the chance to select the pack member they think best represents the pack through their ideals, their trustworthiness, their importance, or in any other variety of ways. The winning member from each pack will be featured on an upcoming skin for the bwp made by yours truly.Voting will be done via poll in the common room areas, so please go check those out and vote! Also, since Sarah takes a lot of time doing things and needs time to finish the wolves before the skin goes live, the polls will be closed on October 24th
Have fun ya'll, and play nice!
