Hey, everyone!

The Staff Team wanted to address concerns about lack of concrete things being pushed out on the site for the time being. This includes mentions of a slower response time in the #help-desk channel on Discord - which we have still been working to address quickly - but also includes a lack of immediate patches or changes to the site.

As of right now, we are in the middle of a massive restructure to the site, including the addition of many new systems that were not currently in place and should have already been implemented.

A major part of this process...

These last few days have been very turbulent for me. I was hoping that things could be resolved quickly, but life has been throwing me too many curveballs and I no longer know how long this messy situation is gonna take to sort out. That being said, i won't really be able to devote my time to wcc as i figure things out. I'll try to get some posts in here and there, but I'll be focusing on irl things for the time being. Holly has agreed to step up for me while I'm getting my ducks lined up. I'll update this post when things are more stable and I can focus on wcc again. I may pop into the discord...

I'll be around intermittently on Discord during this (though likely not on-site), but a friend is coming to visit and staying a few days + I'm going on a trip for the solar eclipse next week! That's going to take most of my time and attention while it's going on, so I'll be back in full swing once it's over. (To those of you in North America: check if you're in the path of totality, and make sure you have properly certified eclipse glasses if you're gonna look at the sun!)

(For ShadowClan-related inquiries in my absence, please contact Romantica or Flybot!)

Hey guys~

So, I'm going to be graduating from University here in less than 3 weeks. I've got quite a bit of pomp and circumstance to participate in as I'll be graduating with a 4.0/4.0 GPA, and I'm getting two degrees as a double major. All that to say: It's a bit hectic for me. Not to mention, whatever time I do have off, I've been fighting quite a few stress migraines because my meds aren't working right.

My activity is going to be quite low outside of staff duties, but I'll try and keep topics rolling. Things should pick up for me around the start of May!

I've been rather sick the past few days to the point of being half blinded by migraines and dealing with partial seizures. I'm going to be scarce these next few days to recoup before getting back into HR/Staff duties and posting. Thank you for your patience

As the title says, I have a school trip planned for 3 days, and during the trip I will have hardly any time to post or even check Discord. I apologise for anyone who is waiting on me for something, and if there's a post you need to have before I go on the trip please PM me ASAP. I'll try clearing all my topics before then

Hello everyone! I know my time here was short and I don't know most of you very well, but I wanted to thank you all for the time you gave to me as part of this forum! It was fun while it lasted, but I just don't think I'll ever be able to post on time and be active enough. I've got a bit of a hectic schedule that gets busier every day and oftentimes I'll forget I have topics to reply to! My first and only character, Rabbitpaw, will be no longer. Based on an inside joke with verychuu, I've decided Rabbit will be killed by a hawk and found in the forest on Skyclan territory! I apologize if this is...

I am posting this for my friend, krazyloaf because she didn't

As of yesterday Loaf has gone on vacation. She will be back either Saturday or Sunday. Idk this is just what she told me lol. So yeah. Idk what else to say.

How has y'alls days been?

this week has been draining as all get out due to a big upcoming event at work! my boss is working on it and assisting her has prevented me from being able to do most of my work. i have keep trying to push myself to post but im just not able the mental or physical state to do so rn so im going to officially break for a few days to recoup! chances are i will get time to post then but im not going to hold myself to anything and just post when is comfortable, so im back and ready to be around this weekend!

as always, dm for anything time sensitive and i will take care of it! and do not...

hey yall :)

so for the next 2 weeks ill probably be a little bit inactive, just because i’m having really bad burnout right now and i dont want to turn wcc into a chore or a job or a school assignment. wcc is supposed to be fun! so i just need to take like a really quick step back for just a moment to like “recalibrate” and then i’ll be back in business!

currently thymelight is in a topic in riverclan camp and windclan camp. for the purpose of trying to get out of soup, i’ll probably only be posting in those 2 topics for the next couple of weeks....

I'm sure some of you may have noticed my slow activity recently, and in truth I've been busy with preparations for something that I've waited a year(yes, a year) for and this day cannot go wrong, so unfortunatly WCC will have to take a lesser priority in my life for a week or so. I'll stick to HR duties and important topics until then, but be prepared for me to come back with hundreds of posts as soon as its over!!

Hi everyone,

I'm going to be away for a bit. On my way home from work today, I got the phone call my childhood dog of over 16 years passed away. I had her even back in South Dakota, when I wasn't even a teen. So her passing hit hard.


Love you bunches, Chocobo. Coconut. Coco. Chloe.

Hey everyone!!

I wanted to let everyone know that, in addition to my other activity notice here, in regards to my wedding and honeymoon, that my fiance and I just started a really important house hunting process! It has been at the forefront of my mind, and it has been taking a significant chunk of my time away from posting like I normally would.

On top of that, I have a health issue that has caused me to take a medicine that has been making me feel really...

Hey everyone!

I've mentioned it on the Discord already, but I'm currently in the process of packing up for a big move. The move itself will be April 6th-7th, but this entire week leading up to it, I'll be less active than normal because there's a lot of boxes to pack and a lot of cleaning to be done around the apartment. I just figured that I would put this up officially so that everyone was aware. Normal activity coming once the move is complete!

Thanks all

hey guys!

i wanted to reach out and apologize for the inconsistency in my roleplay activity over the past couple of weeks. life had thrown a few curveballs my way, and i found myself juggling many, many commitments and priorities. some good, some bad!

unfortunately, it ended up in some neglect. i realized the time had gotten away from me when i checked my trello board and realized a few of my topics ended up timing out because they were battle-related... i should be all good now! i'll be sure from now on to make proper activity notices if i'm not going to be posting as consistently...

Remember my upcoming surgery? The one that was supposed to be this Friday? It just got moved to TOMORROW. I will be inactive for likely a few days starting TOMORROW.

I apologize for this being short notice, it was short notice for me too. I promise I’m not in any danger, I just really really really need to get rid of these stupid wisdom teeth.

I have underestimated the amount of time needed to train Flint every day following the new training course I bought. Its not that the lessons themselves are long, but a few things in particular are very demanding of my energy and a little hard on my soft lazy slug body. After walking, training and playing I have been tired and sore for the past few days (someone pray for my legs, standing up after sitting is agony). My belt needs to be another hole tighter already. o.O Anyway, Flint's projected "graduation date" is April 28th. There isn't much to share right now, but I might show a few things as...

Hey!! So, uh, I have a competition in four days(or really just three, since it's 10pm+ that i'm writing this), and I really want to do well! And naturally, that means putting WCC on the side for a little while I get this out of the way. Ceremonies will still be done on time, but don't expect much else from me. Wish me luck!!

hi everyone. my posts are gonna be really sporadic until further notice. might post a million times in one day, or maybe just once or twice a week.

just got some really bad family news relating to my sister and have to figure some things out. i really enjoy roleplaying here and hope it won't mess anything up - it's also just a nice escape from the rough irl stuff.

thanks :-)

edit: bumping this as my muse is a little dead at the moment and things have worsened with my sister's condition. its likely been noticed that I'm posting infrequently and I apologize for that....

Hey all! Just like with my HR survey results, I'll also be sharing the results of the recent Staff survey.

Starting off, I would like to say the results being shocking is an understatement. I held a lot of anxiety for this survey since I'm new to being on staff in the over 12 years I've been a part of WCC, and felt I wasn't the best I could have been given what little structure and guidance we currently have within the staff team to go off of. I know there are still times I make mistakes, and I am always willing to admit that the second they happen.

That being said, there...

So, the Staff Survey wrapped up a little while ago; and while it's a little late, I still wanted to address my responses!

Overall:

So this is… Not great, but still probably a marked improvement, honestly. If anyone’s holding my previous slip-ups against me here I can’t really say...

injured my thumb pretty badly via heavy metal door which has made it hard to do most things right now due to pain so it might take a few days before i can post. ill keep you all updated! as always let me know if there is anything time sensitive you need from me.

ill still be around as much as i can but messages might be short or full of typos due to only using one hand!

I will be having surgery on March 22 (iirc) so I may be inactive for a few days starting then. If you need help with ceremonies that weekend, please contact the other ThunderClan HRs. IC, Sageroot will be laid up in the med den with a nasty toothache that makes it painful to speak for the duration of my recovery.

Hello WCC!

Per tradition, I would like to address my Staff Survey Results. I always want to be transparent about the feedback I am receiving and shed some light upon things people might not see, or respond to areas that I need to improve on. First, each one of the graphs associated with my survey feedback can be found below. I will address each one individually.

Expectations as Mod Chart:

Hi guys~

I've been a bit away from the site because of Midterms (I'm a university senior and graduating in May), but they've gotten suddenly much harder because I've now also got pneumonia. I shouldn't need to much longer away since I'm now on meds to treat it, but I appreciate everybody's patience as I've had to take more time than I'd like to be able to reply.

My Discord and WCC PMs are open for whatever it is you may need! Again, thank you for being patient.

As my luck would have it, I managed to get injured right after getting promoted to deputy :P

I’m a bit brainfoggy right now so expect posts to be fewer and shorter until I recover. My duties as TC deputy are the priority, so you may see a bit less of Light, Sun, Blaze, and Bianca in the next few days.

Hello WCC!!

As many already know, I'm going to be getting married on May 10th and will have a honeymoon stretching through the 17th. It's safe to say that during that time I'll be taking some time away from WCC and Honeydew's duties as a deputy. I discussed this with KJ before being promoted, and I think it's best I get this leave of absence announced plenty in advance so everyone knows what to expect!! It's still a couple of months away but I'm sure it'll be here before we know it. When I come back I'll officially be a married woman!

I will be out of state for some family things, so I may not be available from 03/04 until 03/07! If anything takes longer, I will update here~ ty!

Hi everyone!

As you all know, staff always checks the comments and concerns form for feedback and wants to make sure that all of these concerns are heard and address when appropriate

There has been a submission expressing concerns with me being picked for staff, including worries about staff bias, and toxic culture. I asked to be the one to address this directly, since it is about me, and was a question that came up in my staff interview before I was added to the team.

I'd like to share my thoughts on both of the concerns, as they are something I have thought about...

After some major mental stess, I have decided to step down from adminship and take a break from discord for a bit. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me personally if you have questions. I'm sorry I couldn't be better for any of you. I'm sorry I can't say more. I will still be around.

Hi guys!

After months avoiding whatever virus and bugs have been flying around, I've been unable to escape this one. I'm a bit sick :( I don't know if it'll impact my posting too much, but just in case, here's my heads up!

I should feel better soon, but I want y'all to be aware.

I appear to have come down with a bout of whitecough lol

Expect less frequent posts

This is not a warning or notice, this is a plea for help that if I post even once outside of time-sensitive topics to give me very angry and rude PMs until I stop because I have one project due Thursday morning, one due Friday midnight, a competition next Saturday and three exams back-to-back the week after. I will of course be posting(it's literally how I de-stress), but please make me stop posting so much because at this point I might as well fail all my subjects.

Hi yall, I just wanted to briefly say that I will be taking a hiatus from Discord. I will be remaining in the WCC server so that you can still DM me easily. My DMs are open for the duration of this hiatus, but I need to take a step back for my mental health. I am hoping this break will allow me to focus on RPing without the social stress-anxiety that is mostly just a bi-product of IRL things. Feel free to DM me at anytime, and I may reach out to you as well as necessary! I ask that you DM me directly with created topic links/post spam if possible. If you aren't comfortable with that, you can also...

I don’t know how long this will last for since I’m sick! don’t expect much posts from me since I feel horrible and I need to get myself some rest and all so I’ll reply to this when the break ended thanks for understanding!!

hello all!

i am finally taking a break from work after almost 8 months and will be relaxing out of town. im planning on bringing my laptop with me and will be reachable. my priority is relaxing and recharging but i will also make sure to keep an eye on any topics where littlepaw is needed.

if i dont get back to you within a day, please feel free to nudge me! if a notification accidently gets closed or i dont see it, my brain can sometimes forget it exists.

thanks everyone~

hey guys. I’ve loved my time here, sporadic as it has often been. Unfortunately, I simply don’t have the time to continue to be a part of WCC, as much as I’d like to. My attempts to stay to one or two characters and a manageable amount of topics just,,, don’t work. This forum is just too dang fun! I’m doing well, but WCC simply takes too much of my time, and I doubt I’ll end up in a position anytime soon where that changes. Love you guys, hope you continue to do well, and so sorry to everyone I’m leaving hanging! This has, unfortunately, been a long time...

Yeah it’s a short break guys don’t worry but I can’t keep up with all my posts so I’m gonna take a 3-4 day break to take some time off Wcc that’s really all I have to say don’t expect posts unless it’s important topics!

Heyo all,

Finally got my monkey brain to decide on this and I think my current plan of action is to do my best to finish up all my current topics and then take a lil break from wcc (posting wise). I just cannot muster up time or energy for topics rn with wedding things closing in and irl stuff happening and i hate making people wait on me for replies TnT.

I’ll still be vibin’ on discord and whatnot and chances are I’ll be back someday lol
(no one can ever truly leave wcc…). I just can’t have this extra stress...

Today, as I was working on some stuff, my PC's monitor straight up died. After some investigation I've narrowed it down to the graphics card (not the monitor itself, or the cables, which would be much easier to fix/replace), and I've asked someone I know IRL who knows more about computers to come look at it, but until he's done so and I've figured out what needs fixed/replaced and if I even can I'll be using my mom's laptop. This means I can only use it when she isn't, which isn't super often, and means that outside of priority topics (ceremonies, Gatherings, other major events) posts might slow...

Hey everyone, I'll be traveling back to school and getting ready for classes so start so I will be slow to post and respond to dms the next few days, but I'll be back to regular activity soon! Stay warm in all this crazy weather

unfortunately, I don't have a set date, but I'm just taking a bit of a wee rest because I'm suffering a bit of burnout that hasn't quite released its grip on me. If there are any topics I'm in that are at risk of expiring please let me know and I'll post asap, and ofc I will be around for any needs that you all may have!

This is just an update to let you all know that while I'll be trying to remain active for these next few months, I will be slow in replying to topics. The reason for this is that I'm retaking a class that I failed before due to time constraints and don't want that to happen twice. This is a very demanding class and is already kind of stressing me out, but I'll be doing my best to stay on top of the important things like keeping the ranks page up to date, posting in gatherings/other SC happenings, ceremonies, etc etc. Feel free to message me if I'm slacking anywhere or on any topics, I'll do my...

Activity:

This is in line with previous HR survey results and I'm glad to see it! I know my activity took a hit over the holidays, starting back with Thanksgiving, but I've tried to stay active with everything going on. As usual, I hope I can keep this up in the future. <3

Hello! I'm sorry I don't normally post my HR results, and I would like to start doing that going forward. Whether it's good or bad, I would like to let you in on my thoughts! For now, I won't be showing most of the comments even though they are all very nice and sweet!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this survey, and I want to let you know I read every single comment and suggestion left on my portion of the results.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the HR survey! I'll be going over the results here for transparency's sake :)



I'm glad to see that everything is neutral or positive! I'm always trying to reach for all positive though, so I'll be trying to step up my activity. I know I was pretty on-and-off this last quarter, and I'm trying to be more consistent since after...
