Some suggestions

Maybe so! dogzrock ?

Okay correct me if I've misinterpreted your suggestions, so...

There could be certain Wisdoms that are more powerful or only for a certain bird category. Birds can possibly level-up their wisdoms by going through trials throughout checkpoints around the island. The trials are given by an NPC "guardian" at each checkpoint. That's the basics?

I think we could probably implement the leveling-up! I wanted to make the Wisdoms hard to get, but I wasn't sure how to make the Wisdoms grow stronger besides letting the players decide how fast their bird conquers the Wisdom. This Guardian could just be the Ancient One. I was thinking of giving the Ancient One a sort of consciousness. It could be what's left of Star(the bird who created Starless Islet). Can't a tree grow a new tree from its roots if the roots poke above ground? I think aspens do that. So there could be smaller trees that have the Ancient One's presence within them. Or instead of the trees being conscious, the 'guardian' could be the NPC bird you were thinking of.

By the way, sorry for the long silence :/ School swallowed me and I haven't much inspiration for rp, lately.

It sounds correct!

Aspens, Bamboo, and Stawberries do that! They send "runners out either below or above ground. It's pretty cool.
It Avatar the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra there is this huge (litteraly like a mile in diameter or more.) spirit tree who's roots spread everywhere and make up each tree in the forest. It's pretty boss.

The Ancient One could be kinda like that! Let's see... should there be new sub-boards for a checkpoint in each area?

Again...I was too lazy to make another thread to such a small topic but, perhaps we could add time and weather to the rp, such as, an admin would randomly enter a roleplay and say something like "A rather strong breeze blows over the leaves, a big storm might be starting to brew" and the players could adapt to it as in "Aravind felt the strong wind pass through his steely-blue feathers and tweeted in a slightly nervous tone "I think there is storm coming! Can we go home now? Pretty please?"


(Of course an admin could add time as in "the sky was becoming darker and darker, the stars glistening as a gently breeze blew the grass" or even animals/NPCs/predators "Something is moving through the rocks, a rattling noise can be heard among the dirt, a small and sneaky rattle snake slithers around, unaware of the birds presence.")

I believe that would bring more life to the roleplay and even help create plots.

What do you say?

Well, on my black earth site, we have something like that. I think that we could have a seperate staff account (or just have a staffie) do it. Though I think that it could screw done thing up. Like what if a group of members want to determine their own time and place? I think that while our site is small staff can do this freely, though when we get more members we would have to recruit more staffies to do the job, but not without asking the member who started the thread.

Maybe we could add say it as:

Staff: Would you mind if I added time as the rp goes on?
Player1: Of course, go for it!

[Roleplay]

"The wind blows strong and cold, carrying some dry leaves and feathers, making a howl-ish sound as it flies"

[Keep roleplaying]

Or

When the player makes a thread, they could specify it as in

"Creative title" (Open/Tagged) -Time bending: Y/N-


(What do you guys think?)
