Staff would like to announce that effective immediately, we will no longer be using anonymous forms for surveys on WCC.

Anonymous Surveys were started as a means for honest feedback to be provided to Staff, and while a good portion of our userbase has used it as intended, there has been a trend of misuse. Surveys have been used to harass Staff and HRs, or Anon Comments to speak poorly of others without consequences. All of these violate our code of conduct, which is why we are hopeful the changes below will help to improve our community standards and uphold the rules...

Hello WCC! It’s time for our quarterly Staff Survey, the second one this year. Staff surveys occur in March, June, September, and December. Please take a moment to fill out this survey and let the team know how we’re doing, both individually and together. We appreciate any and all feedback!

Staff Survey 2023 #1

This survey will close on March 5th, at 8 PM EST. Thank you!

Hi WCC!

Staff is implementing some changes to some pre-existing rules! Firstly, changes and clarifications have been made to the rules regarding litter limitations. The adjustments are as follows:

• If a character adopts a litter while the litter is young (kits/newly named apprentice) then it counts towards one of the litter slots.
  
• If a character is a surrogate for a litter then it counts toward one of their litter slots.
  
• If two queen mates decide to have their litters together (Five for each queen) and raise the ten kits, it will count for...

Sitewide Finale is finally here! Thank you everyone for being patient as we worked through this sitewide as well with all of the staff changes that have occurred while Sitewide was going on.

First: The patrols that were sent to the fourtrees have stumbled...

Three weeks have passed since the last wave, which means that it is time for the third and final wave! Just like last time, there will be no topic where twolegs storm the clans and take cats, but instead your character can be taken one of two ways! Your character may have gotten caught in a twoleg trap OR have run into a stray twoleg and have been taken. You may make a topic wherein your character gets captured, but this is not necessary.

If your cat was volunteered to be TNRd separately from the signups, please contact a member of staff so that they may be placed on a list! The cats...

Years ago a very helpful survey was created for the site's members to fill out to help determine the activity levels of the Higher Ranks. The results allowed Staff to ensure that active and qualified users were filling the higher ranks which ultimately shape the WCC roleplay experience. We were very interested in the results, and we decided to implement this for the foreseeable future. We are continuing this periodic survey.

Staff will be posting this anonymous Higher Ranks survey once at the beginning of every quarter (January/April/July/October).

Hello WCC! Reaper here with a few announcements regarding the current staff team here on the site and discord.

Firstly, a unfortunate situation has occurred, leaving an empty space on our staff team that we have decided to fill. I will not go into detail, but I'm sure Byrin's absence has been noticed.

In order to maintain a full staff team, we have made the decision to bring on a new moderator. Everyone please give a huge congratulations to WCC’s newest mod,

Beginning January 1st, 2023, litter limitations will be implemented on all WCC characters. This is something staff has discussed extensively and with good reason. This is in an effort to cut down on large bloodlines and to keep them from growing exponentially, which in the past has resulted in accidental incest. The following will be going into effect:

• Characters will be able to have a limit of 2 biological litters maximum in their lifetime. This does not mean 2 litters per mate the character is with. If a character has a litter with 1 character and another litter...

Hey WCC! With the progression of this year’s sitewide, the second wave of TNR has now gone into effect! Instead of there being a topic where twolegs come and take cats like what happened in the first wave, this wave has been captured through the traps that were left behind from the last wave. You may make a topic wherein your character gets captured, but this is not necessary.

If your cat was volunteered to be TNRd separately from the signups, please contact a member of staff so that they may be placed on a list! The cats being taken with this wave are as follows:

Hello WCC! Today we have quite a big announcements for you regarding some internal changes on the staff team.

First of all: both Maple and myself will be stepping away from staff to focus on real life. Though we have enjoyed getting to support and give back to this community in as many ways as we have, neither of us can maintain a continued focus on staff at this current point in time. I will continue to stay around as an HR and regular member of the site; Maple will be posting their own member announcement sometime later. We thank WCC for everything it's given back to and taught us.

Hello WCC! As promised, we return in December with another announcement about the sitewide! And, as promised, you might have already noticed something quite important has taken place at Fourtrees.

While the Clans lie in wait, surrounded by the distant buzz of twoleg activity and the distant sightings of their torn territories, their lives were once again turned upside down. The roar of monsters, the pounding of heavy paws, grew suddenly louder until great furless beasts filled the clearing, their ungainly paws reaching down to grab any cat that was not smart or fast enough to outrun...

Hey WCC! If you haven't read the sitewide announcement here, please do so before continuing! With bloodlines growing bigger by the day, staff brings a way to narrow down large bloodlines while also contributing to the upcoming plot in a way where everyone gets to keep their characters. Instead of going with a purge, staff has come up with a TNR (trap-neuter-release) plot. During the plot, volunteered characters will be taken in waves by twolegs for two-week periods, although...

Just as the sitewide update announcement, here says, along with perma-NPCs, this sitewide gives opportunity for temporary NPCs as well. While perma-NPCs come at the cost of TNRing your characters, these temporary NPCs are free for users to sign up for with no cost, just as with plot-related NPCs in the past. As usual, only one temporary NPC can be made per user, and the character will no longer be playable once the sitewide reaches its conclusion.

Hello WCC! As you've all noticed, it's that wonderful time of year where the sitewide descends upon us all. The recent earthquake has sent many cats fleeing from their camps, and though they've taken shelter in Fourtrees, the twolegs come to inspect the damage seem to have other plans for them. For...

Hi WCC! It’s that time of year again :D If you haven’t read the announcement yet, please go ahead and do so! If you have, then welcome to the sign-up topic for this sitewide’s permanent NPCs. To sign up for a temporary NPC, please click here.

Hello WCC! Maple here with a few announcements regarding the current staff team here on the site and discord.

Firstly, Xaandiir has received increased hours at their job, and wouldn’t be able to balance real life, work, HR, as well as their role on the staff team. As a result, they have chosen to focus on their role as RiverClan’s deputy. We are so incredibly thankful for their time on the team and their invaluable contributions, and wish them well in everything they do! Below is a brief message from Xaan regarding their decision.

Years ago a very helpful survey was created for the site's members to fill out to help determine the activity levels of the Higher Ranks. The results allowed Staff to ensure that active and qualified users were filling the higher ranks which ultimately shape the WCC roleplay experience. We were very interested in the results, and we decided to implement this for the foreseeable future. We are continuing this periodic survey.

Hello WCC,

Last week, we had an incident involving a user, Ebony. We apologize for taking longer than we would have liked to get an announcement up, but we will outline all of that in this announcement.

Chilly temperatures signify the arrival of Leaf-Fall, bringing vibrant hues of orange and red and hope for a peaceful season. Any topics made prior to this announcement will continue to use Greenleaf rolls, while any newly created topics will utilize Leaf-Fall rolls! The hunting system charts will be updated by the end of the day today, but please note that any new topics should be using Leaf-Fall rolls. Happy hunting! This is also a reminder that the creation of any major plots is currently on-hold.

Hey WCC! Maple here to let you all know of an update on the staff team’s members:

Given recent events in real life, Alexcentria has decided to step down from her role as a site moderator, as well as taking a break from the site as a whole to focus on real life and her commitment to school and other things. Alex still loves the community dearly, and hopes everyone has a great time RPing!

Hello again, WCC! Maple here to let you know of a few changes we've made to the site

In order to make the site more accessible and easy to use, we have added a new subcategory under the "rules" section of the forum. This is called the Systems and Mechanics subcategory, and it now houses our hunting, battle, herb hunting, and healing systems, as well as all of our essential site mechanics, such as disputed territories and the invasion clause. In addition, some of the main site rules have undergone slight...

Hey WCC! Friendly neighborhood Maple here! Just wanted to let you all know that at 8:00 PM EST, WCC will be undergoing scheduled maintenance! Be sure to copy any posts into a document so that you don’t lose them. This shouldn’t last very long, and I will be sure to update you whenever it is completed!

Hello WCC! Every so often, the staff team will put together a survey to better understand our members' views on certain subjects. Recently, we decided it was about time for another survey. So, we have put together a brief survey linked below. Whenever you get a moment, please fill it out so that we can use this information in the future! Thank you!

Newleaf has finally given way to Greenleaf, bringing plentiful prey and heat unlike anything the younger cats have felt before. Any topics made prior to this announcement will continue to use Newleaf rolls, while any newly created topics will utilize Greenleaf rolls! The hunting system charts will be updated by the end of the day today, but please note that any new topics should be using Greenleaf rolls. Happy hunting!

Hello WCC!

Today, we have an announcement regarding SkyClan's MCA. As some of you may know, Ginger has stepped away from the site, and we offer them lots of peace and well wishes moving forward with their life outside of the site.

However, this has left SkyClan without a medicine cat. In an effort to help restabilize SkyClan's high ranks, we have decided to go through with appointing two new MCAs without following the traditional voting process, so that they may settle into their roles as quickly (and smoothly) as possible. So, please welcome and congratulate Muggy...

Hello WCC! As most of you are aware, in May we wrapped up our (semi) annual site-wide plot. In order to get a feel for the thoughts and opinions of those involved, we released a survey with a few questions that many of you filled out. We’d like to thank everyone who took the time to fill out the survey, and address a few of the comments we received! So, read below if that is something you are interested in hearing! ^^

Overall opinions of the sitewide seemed to vary - not overwhelmingly bad, but also not overwhelmingly great. In general, people seemed to think that the following...
