Okay, this may be a crazy idea but, when I sat down this morning as usually and hopped onto lovely Over The Valley, it hit me like a ton of bricks as to a massively, awesome totally original plot idea(that would greatly effect the site, I hope for the better). Now, my idea stems from visiting other sites and the names they chose for their site, usually incorporates what their site is about in some way or another like, say the sites name is 'Stray Away' or 'Off the Leash' or something like 'In The City' or 'Apocalypse' it normally has to do with the characters that will be played on the site or something else to do with the site's name in included directly or indirectly into the plot. Well, on Over The Valley, there really isn't a valley or anything of the like nor is it in the plot why it's called Over The valley(like maybe the dogs retreated over the valley to come to Citagazee). This got me to thinking maybe, we could include this 'over the valley' idea into the current site plot where there can be another city past the Boonies of Citagazee, 'over the valley'(and this could be a potential land which could be played in or not, that divides Citagazee from the other city(and maybe this other city could be where the dogs retreated from as it underwent some sort of destruction and is now in total, complete ruin--like down to rubble basically, with a few buildings standing here and there). In the other city, perhaps there could come to be one gang who remained behind who are complete rebels and basically just come over to Citagazee to mess around with the other four gangs(pretending to have an alliance to each but, not letting each gang know they have an alliance with the other and secretly pitting one against the other by learning info from each gang and telling it to the other, in attempt to start a war between the four gangs in Citagazee).
So for basics, the idea would be to have another city located beyond a valley which the dogs of Citagazee went over to retreat to Citagazee but, one gang remained behind. Maybe, they develop their rebellious nature toward the four gangs(we can say the four gangs began developing in the alter city but, then when destruction, whatever that is is to be decided, came the dogs all took off fleeing to Citagazee and regrouped and then history happened--the gangs officially formed) of Citagazee is that they felt unwanted, discarded by the four from Citagazee. So they endure crossing the treacherous valley(which could be like a wasteland filled with all kinds of peril or just a very rough tundra to cross, because it is very large and wide) to cause trouble between the four gangs and try to stir up a war between them all. The orginality comes in the fact that there will actually be two cities included on one site(a very unique concept and I believe the first to be done, if Aka agrees to do this, as I have not seen it done anywhere else on any other site, that I know of).
So what do you all think? Possible? Crazy? Too much work?

i believe it is possible, we would attract members by having wars (research says wars and battles usually bring members as they want to have action, betrayel and romance over than just interacting and no action) the two cities would definately work, *already planning one of lullaby's babies to side with that city instead of it's own birth city XD* but yes i think it is quite possible to do. I would love to help with anything (new city creating) so you have a yesh![/u] from me :3

I think that's a really awesome idea, actually! It would most definitely bring in new members, as they'd want to be able to formulate suspense and romance as fallOUT said, and they'd probably want to be able to be a troublemaker amongst the groups as much as the rest of us do! I totally agree with fallOUT on the YES. (not that I matter much >.<)

Personally, I'm really into the whole idea! I do think that making a whole new city like board-wise is a bit too much work. So what I'd suggest is we go with the same plot etc etc and we can make a board which is basically a place where a bridge connects the currently unnamed city to Citagazze. The bridge won't be like majorly huge like the one in NYC but moderately big. So bigger than a little wooden one but smallet than city ones. Soo average? Yeah xD
The rebel pack with basically be a bunch of dogs who came from the unnamed city and are basically a big group of friends. All they really want is to harass the Citagazze dogs and so they do bad things like steal the limited food, steal puppies, etc. And so the war starts IN Citagazze. All four packs create alliances; either with the rebels or other packs.
How does that sound?

well Aka it would be interesting to do that, but I think we should have all the packs against each other. Like Subs said, saying if you have ever read Warriors, they did that (except that two clans was one clan and the two others same thing) put all the clans against each other saying you sort of have to keep the packs descriptions in tact so that people don't get confused and randomly put there sweety dog in Sha'Moore. Even though i would decline that, people would get confused and wouldn't understand the packs loyalty and descriptions. Like sha'moore they are evil and likely not to have alliances with any pack, Fildren probably not saying they would want to at least win so they would want probably a strong pack on there side and when you think of sweet dogs, you think of dogs that are weak (my opinion of course, and it is fun playing a nice dog) but yeah and the others would probably hook up together and all. but saying having the packs against each other would bring lots of war and like i said in my first post, wars and battles bring more members

This sounds like a totally awsome plot! Love how 'Over the Valley' finally has an explanation to it.
Yeah the other city could be connected by the bridge and what not but it can be pretty much in ruins which makes it dangerous for humans and dogs too to cross. The city could have been a nuclear bomb testing site instead of a city though (hense making it a valley due to the constant bombs going off) that could have blown up in a testing failure. Humans would rarely go there (exept for curious teens who would get eaten by the dogs I guess) because they may think there are still some bombs there that didn't go off. Many of the dogs could have been guard dogs and bomb scenting hounds so that could explain the dogs. Some could also have burn marks on them from the explosion making them look more deadly. They then reproduced and allowed other dogs of different breeds to join them and what not. Then most could have left for the city not wanting to live in ruins forever and left the others behind. The abbandoned ones then could have had a hatred toward the city dogs for betraying them, teaching it to there kids also to hate anything that dwells in the city. The nuclear pack could then crumble into a few tough gangs that fought each other leaving the city alone because they are to absorbed in their own struggle. They are brought together and now seek to destroy the ones that betrayed them by 'befriending' then turning their backs on them to leave them to crumble.
Mah once you mentioned a ruined city and how it would relate to 'Over the Valley' I instantly thought nuclear power explosion. xD

Nice. Love it. Hired-gun-to-be Mack will love it too.
How come I never thought of something like this?? I never even noticed the discontinuity in the title... I must have some sort of brain damage.

I love all the ideas, I really like how everyone is excited about this because it makes me believe that guest looking at the site would get pulled into this plot and join up. I like your version Aka, but, I believe I can see a compromise between us. Maybe, we don't necessarily have to make another huge city like Citagazee with all those boards but maybe the city could be much, much smaller(like perhaps a little smaller/larger that Wyatt--maybe 4-6 boards total but, the bridge let's say is one board in itself that could be the divider between Citagazee and the other city.
So it would kind of look like this:
[All of Citagazee up here(categories and boards, as they are now)]
Category: The Gateway to "so and so city" Board: "So and so" Bridge
Category: The City of "so and so" Board " " Board " " Board " " Board " " .......and so on....
I like the ideas of how the other city is not populated by humans at all, because of a war (war is part of Citagazee anyhow as that is how its history was written up so it's viable to say the other city was ruined die to a past war) and just left to that one big group of dogs and I think they could all be friends(kind of like clique at school) who kind of just come to Citagazee to cause trouble with all the gangs, as I said, and then maybe take off or whatever, and keep coming back every now and again to terrorize Citagazee, the humans and the gangs. Within their own city, I am thinking they need something to interact with as I could see the muns getting bored playing with characters within their own gang all the time, but some of our characters could go over to their city as well and visit them or whatever. OR maybe..there could be a small cluster of coydogs or something that that could interact with(and these of course would be feral and never form an official gang due to their higher coyote percentage[60/40's or whatever] but rather maybe just travel together as they are all siblings--brothers or something and I say the limit to that cluster is three tops and only given to people who are very active--I for one could take one brother).
This would add some variety to the other city and to play as well for no one yet can afford a coydog mix and I think if maybe..how we could decide who gets one is by activity level or the ones who are closest to having the points to buy them or...I don't know.
Whatever we decide, we could make a new advert as well( I mentioned to Aka maybe making a contest of it and perhaps this is how the coydogs can be won by the top two/three winners(depending on how many are left for I really do want to take one myself and I am not sure if Aka wants one as well), that will really pop out and excite people about the new plot (maybe just a version 2 upgrade sites do so we don't have to mess with the current storyline write up in Welcome Table). The banner can be easily changed by adding the version 2 info to it by I or Java or whoever is good with manipulation skills. Perhaps the version 2 could be "version 2: Into Chaos" or "version 2: The Rising."
Finch..you do not have brain damage! xDDD!

okay i skimmed *this is very true* i am lazy XD but that sounds good, I mean I really do want a coydog (like a said in the suggestion about the shop, my ex boyfriend has a coydog bitch named Stevie :] and she's adorable) so yeah i'm up to that and I can do manips *loving gimp-look at sig, khaos post header, lullaby post header and also i found out how to change Syndrome's post header color!!!! :3* but I like version 2: Into Chaos (Khaos!!! XD) sorry i'm still sick and trying to cheer me up with everything.... but yeah i like the idea and also what about the battle *i either didn't read it or didn't notice it* every pack for themselves or what?

Will there be, say... Individual character spots for already made charas to fill?? Like plot important spots, or what? Believe it or not... Over a year RPing and I have somehow managed to not ever be involved in a sitewide plot. Haha.

Well yeah, Finch. That can be done as per usual--making plots between our characters and then people could either win characters for the coy dog 'gang' and just create canine charas for the rebel gang. Or put charas they already have into the rebel gang. We will need a leader for the rebel gang of canines and a name for the rebel gang but, this can be discussed once we finalize the rest of the information(the name of the city and the lands it will have and that sort of stuff needs finalizing before we move onto the next steps) after it's agreed to or what have you.
As for already made characters, that would be something ppl could put up in plots(I posted one a while ago but it went dead but it could actually be used as my plot involved Caliber, the exiled heir to Fildrin who hates Syndrome and just about every gang from Citagazee and if someone plays him, he could perhaps be the leader of the rebel gang--we could say he took off from Citagazee and formed the gang) and see if anyone would take them. But, there really isn't any individually made up roles for this site wide plot. Just basically you decide where and what your character can do. Though, I do think having Caliber as the rebel gang leader would fit perfectly into it so that could be one character that could be up for grabs.

Well, it’s about time I came on and had my input. Anyhow, I like the ideas; I’m a bit confused, considering all of these posts have been a lot to read just sitting here, and it sounds like it would be quite the activity-bringer. Sebastian’s place in it would be to merely try his hardest to make such a weak pack great, I suppose; perhaps even making him fall harder in the end, due to the fact that his pack consists of ‘weaker’ little ones’. Illuminate, my power-hungry female, could play a larger role in this, even? It’s whatever works with y’all, however; she would easily use deception and such, which could make it more interesting for Fildren? I’m just planning it out a bit. The ‘Coydogs’ sound very fascinating; I would adore playing one, though through my laziness I’m not sure – hopefully this would bring me some needed muse, too. After all, it’s been horrible lately. This ruined, nuclear ‘city’ of sorts, if I read over that correctly, would serve much more drama and such; thus explaining the ‘Over the Valley’ calling which the site was tilted with. Betrayal, fighting, and romance clearly get’s one’s heart pumping and makes for more interesting situations; beautiful ideas, everyone! Whilst I truly do not have a lot o suggestions, I Y E S this plot – and I think it’s development over time will also be thoroughly fascinating; I think the idea with Caliber would also fit, Subdue. (:

I love this idea, too. Mayhaps Mack could be running around as a sort of mercenary for the different packs, hehe. Just a thought. When shall this plot be implemented??

This sounds simply fantastic. Although most of the idea has been covered I would love to vouch for the cause.
All of it sounds creative and fun, so I know my activity would grow. I really hope this will be established.
