004.) Share your Ideas!

Firstly, I need you guys' help with boards. If you look at the map, you'll see that there are two areas that aren't named. I have no idea what to put there. We have plenty of forests, water sources, and fields. Please give me your ideas. Everyone will receive 25 Pawprints per idea, and 75 if their idea is used.

Secondly, the city is seriously lacking in boards. I'm looking for possible sub-boards, and main boards. Anything you might find in a city that DOGS could role-play in. So for example, a hospital wouldn't be great because what will a dog (especially a stray) being doing there? We also need more lands INSIDE the city that can be claimed for packs. Once again, 25 Pawprints per idea, and 75 if your idea gets used.

Lastly, we need more store items. The store is seriously lacking in items and I would like for it to be more use to you guys. So 25 Pawprints for ideas and 75 if your idea gets used (:

hey what about having a charter with a none natural eye color and still be conceited a pure one like having a wolf with blue or green eyes, the eye color cant be purple or something but it natural color like blue, brown, hazel, and green.
Also if you could purchase having bi color eyes as well

I like the idea of the non-species eye colors, and I will add that in, thank you!

As far as bi-colored eyes (or heterochromia), that is allowed as long as it would be reasonable for the breed. So like, a Husky x Shepherd or something.

[Faith]

ok I also ment the bi-colored eyes for like wolves and foxes

[DENI.]

Oh okay I actually added all that in with one purchase.

Do we think there would ever be much use in a board for the local pound/other shelter? If that sounds like it could be a popular board, I think a lot of interesting things could be roleplayed in that sort of setting.

Also, as a sub board, maybe the suburbs have a community pool? I mean, if the strays are nosing around there for scraps and such, it might be a place they would go. And also the house pets could be welcome or whatever so that's an option for them too.

As for the shop, I can't really think of much at the moment except maybe allowing a character to be unnaturally big/small? Like, say, a Lab closer to the height of a Great Dane or something? Or, would that just be something that would be allowed already in the bio with a good reason such as a growth hormone imbalance?

I really like your ideas for the boards

And no, that would never be allowed in a bio. I feel like people might abuse it and make huge dogs all the time with like "he had growth hormones" or some other excuse. However, I think adding it to the shop is a good idea and it will be added

Thank you!

Yay, time to shine! xD This is what I love about making websites. Okay, okay.
I didn't really look at the map for these, I was just kinda brainstorming some more boards/sub-boards.

Inside the city:

Well, for the park, you know how some nature parks have like nature trails? You could put a sub-board for a special trail that the dogs could go down. Maybe something romantic? Like it could be described as having a bridge with a river underneath, lots of wildlife and so on. It would be a good place for canines that are house-pets as they are comfortable with a lot of human things such as benches, bridges, ect.

Apartments are a pretty common thing that could be used. It's a little overused, but it's an idea. It could be way off in the outskirts abandoned and for the dogs who are alone to share, maybe a pack to form? If not, it could always just be another place inside the city for house-pets to live in, pass by, and so on.

You could also do things like alleyways. Like how in lady and the tramp, they would beg the bakery owners for food? Kinda like a place for stragglers who have been abandoned and don't know how to thrive, or a dog that's just too lazy to hunt.

Outside the city:

Again with the apartments, it could be abandoned, but you could also just do a shack, or even a town that once existed. I love the idea of a pack of dogs coming across an abandoned little ghost town and like turning it into a 'dog town'. xD

You have mountains, so maybe a desert ? Like a canyon kinda one. Where it's highly dangerous toward the edges, but it can have a lot of safe places for strays or especially coyotes to fall in. Coyotes seem to thrive where it's dry and deserted, so it could be like a special place for them?

I actually got a little creative with this one! What if there was this really big waterfall (that at some point that could break off into the common streams and rivers you already have) and to make it more unique, if the canines look close enough, there could be like a little passage behind the waterfall that could open into a large space that could hold a decent sized pack? You could also say tunnels were there and could be used as dens.

Every good role-play deserves a creepy, yet unique cave! Again with the tunnels idea, you could make the cave open up to a series of underground/walled in tunnels for shelter. Maybe even have it's own little pond with a light that shines through from a hole in the roof? Or then again, it could be a simple little cave xD

Shop items:
I'm really bad with this kind of stuff, but i'll give it a try.

I think you allow personal items for house-pets, but if you don't you could always separate those into categories. Carrying around stuffed animals, unique collars (like dog toothed, spiked, and so on), those cute little sweaters and shoes some people use, and so on. 

Unique fur and eye colors, if you don't already have them are popular, along with multiple kinds of mutations. I think you have these, but just in case.

And I know your realistic here, but once the site grows you could also do undead/ghost canines. I know it was popular with a website I played on a while ago.

OH! You could also do soul pets (like a small critter such as a bird or something that follows around a canine who chooses not to kill it xD) or allow someone to buy a predator to a canine or another unique species. 


That's about all I have for ideas, hopefully they help!

I love all your ideas I believe that several of your boards will be put to use (but of course I'm gonna wait to see everyone's ideas before I make final decisions on the boards). I especially love your thoughts about the nature trail, it is so cute.

As far as undead canines, mutations, and crazy pelt/eye colors go, I doubt I'll ever add anything like that to the shop or site. I really prefer to play and play with "normal" canines. I know its popular, but it just isn't my preference.

Thank you so much for sharing all of your ideas, though<3

Gah so many good ideas already. Hmm, well I'm not sure if this has been completely suggested yet, if it is im sorry but maybe have a ghetto or just generally bad part of the city. This can allow for opportunities of more rough or cruel characters I suppose. Either way ghettos are usually an interesting part to have with the city. This can also be a more dangerous area, with constant crimes going on an such.

Nothing like that has been suggested, exactly! I like it, we need some more low-brow places

[Kiba]

How about these?:

1) A plot sub-board~ This would be for members, of course. Instead of having one thread, why not have a sub-board if you save up enough pawprints. This would make it a little more organized in case someone had a new plot in mind for a certain member, they can make a thread for it instead of posting it in a post(and then losing it in the thread).

2) An abandoned train station. Not like the new ones that or anything. Maybe a really old one where you can still get to the tracks and it has a few holes in the walls so a dog can get inside. Something like this maybe

3) Abandoned warehouses would be cool too! Once again, with some holes in the buildings or an easy way for the canines to get in.

4) Cemetery. That is all I need to say. Spooky.

5) School. I know this is a bit weird, but dogs wouldn't be allowed in the school. But outside the school would be okay. At the schools where I live there are strays(and even house pets) that wonder around. We usually have tables outside too for lunch, so they normally come over to beg for food and for some love.

6) Swamp. This water can or can't be drinkable, that's up to you. But it's extremely dangerous to be in/near(due to alligators).

7) What about understanding another language? Not fully understand it, just enough to know what the other is saying? For example, like they could hear a bird tweet something about "Hunter killed son. Run." or something along those lines. Basically them understanding another species.

8) Longer life. They'd be able to live a little bit longer than a dog of their breed would or something.

could we have a sub board in Oakwood city for the apartments and neighbourhoods house pets live in ? i notice we only have parks and suburbs but not any threads that might fit for penthouses and high rise apartment buildings for house pet characters to play in

Kiba: I love your ideas, and several will be added to the store right now

shepaski: Apartments seem to be in high demand, so I will likely put them up when I make the new boards.

Thank you both for your input!

For some area suggestions:

Building site - these can be dangerous and lots of places to hide from humans. They will also be empty during weekends.

Also, in addition to a pound, perhaps a medical testing facility? Where scientists experiment on dogs that could be lethal.

Sewers/underground network?

A waterfall? The rushing rapids could lead up to a waterfall, so maybe a sub-board there?


I'm not sure if other suggestions are allowed, but I have one plugin that would be really useful to me, and perhaps other people too!

Custom Post Template. Okay this is hard to explain, but I see a lot of people use character posting tables when they're roleplaying. I assume they will have to copy and post a code each time they roleplay. Instead of copy and pasting, you can just use a drop-down list to choose certain characters to post with, and it'll provide your posting table code for you (:
