My Take on Herds

I see the issue of herds coming up again and again. Please know that this entry is not in reference to any particular player, and please read the whole post if you plan on commenting. I don't want to hurt people..

Copied and edited from a forum post:

I'm going to repeat myself on this subject, and after this, I will say no more. I do not mean this in a mean way. This is my just being frank.

Herds would be better suited to a game with a much larger map area and in an environment that encourages making groups that could be antagonistic toward one another, but this is not the case in this game.

Back in September/October of 2007, we had people starting herds. There were even threads with herd member sign-ups. This caused in-group/out-group animosity and drama. People wanted to be the boss, and people even went so far as to claim a part of the Forest for their herd and get in a tizzy when others would hang out in "their spots". The Forest was loud with bellowing and fighting at that time.

Michael and Auriea never, to my understanding, wanted to implement herds. All of the players are meant to be on equal ground and as part as one big community. Even the fawns, being new to the game, are treated with respect. The only players in this game who have any real authority are Michael and Auriea, the Twin Gods.

No matter what the environment, whenver you split people into easily identified groups, antagonism, competition, stereotyping, and other problems occur. I don't want any of this to come to the Forest.

For a scientific investigation of this, check out this page about the famous Robber's Cave experiment by Muzafer Sherif.

Really, I am not being mean. I just want to keep these problems from coming to the Forest.

Pelt help.

Would someone be willing to help me get another copy of the DotD pelt, since the game decided to forget I had it?

I'd love to figure out how to put candles on my antlers, too ...

Should anyone be interested, I'm going to go save my data and dunk Vesper in the pond before running over to the ruins.

Thanks!

A foggy day

I woke up to the howling of wolves…As a gentle cold fog blew softly over me, hearing the coos of owls and waking to see the bats. I rose and stretched and I was alone. I walked slowly through the forest enjoying it and calm, I heard footsteps of another deer coming my way…. I ran up to it but it took off scared of the howls, But I I knew it was ok for wolves were my friends I heard more footsteps and went to see some more deer, and then I saw none I simply gave up just to relax so I ran to the big tree. I just felt cold inside feeling well today. As the bats swirled past me while I was on my way,



I met some fawns when I came playing in the tree with their magic coats I felt happy to see them play I came in and welcomed them with a bow, Then a buck came in with her coat displayed and I bowed to her as she did to me… I walked relaxed to the pond, I saw a fawn and a buck asleep at day and I walked into the water to go and lay down in the relaxing day.



Then I layed there awhile and got up and lapped cool water and then I was on my way,
I went to the ruins and saw more of deer and bowed to them happily And there I met Emiva and also some other deer…


And next I went on my way in the foggy clear cool day…

Later on that day I was so so cold so i went to the tree with my new antler display and saw a cold little fawn in the tree asleep so with my new fur i slept aside the little fawn to keep it warm and I got warm to xD



And i ran along to the ruins where i met a couple more deer and i danced with them to the spooky yet kewl music lol
