The Endless Herd


For anyone interested in becoming a member:
I will be posting a blog sometime this week.
Though we are currently inactive, feel free to let me know and you will be added to the list.



The Endless Herd
A community event for all




Themes!

Current Sets:


We will feature different "themes", or sets, for different occasions. New rules may or may not apply, e.g., real deer behavior.

Info!


Herd Meeting Dates:

I will announce when The Herd is active (generally between 1:00 - 6:00 PM EST). Meetings will take place only during the weekends, and there is no end time. Feel free to leave whenever.

Time Zone Converter

If you don't know what zone you're in, Google it and then find your time. When you click "Show Timetable", a list will appear and you'll be able to scroll down and search for the times.


Basic Rules:

  • There are no characters in the herd. Therefore:
1) Pictograms are obsolete; you will not be distinguished as the character you play whilst with the herd.
2) There is no favoritism or mates. Remember, when you play, it's all OOC.

  • While you are with the herd you must dress accordingly
  • Herd appearance will be updated and displayed at the top of the page.
  • You are free to leave the herd at any time. All deer who are dressed differently to the herd are assumed to be "in-character".

To leave The Herd permanently, let me know and you will be removed.

Leadership!

Current Leader: None

The Herd is lead by one player, the "Leader".

Role: The Leaders roll is to lead the herd's activities around the forest; wherever the Leader goes, the herd must follow. This will also reduce the confusion and chaos in-game.

Selection: Every member of the herd will get the chance to perform this role via a rotation of members, and the Leader will choose the next person to take their place after every meeting or so.

Two Pictograms will be supplied and allow players to distinguish between the leader and the rest of the herd. New themes will be equipped prior to herd meetings. Those who do not have the newest version of the game will have to acquire them on their own.

If anyone has a problem, question, or suggestion about the rules, please mention it in a comment below.

Lanithedeer: 1. Yes, unless

Lanithedeer:

1. Yes, unless I/ Dag announces a special set for everyone to wear.

2. No. They would change to gray. Of course, it won't always be gray... Dag and I will think of new themes for us to wear. (:

3. No one really has a "role" in TEH... I would imagine the fawns cling to the females of his/her choice and be, well, fawns. It's really all up to the player as long as they try to act realistically.

4. Hmm. Maybe. Right now we're going to start with just simple brown pelts that are posted at the top of the page.

5. I don't think the stags will ever wear doe antlers... If everyone did, it would look like a herd of does, you know?
As for the pelts changing, I really have no plan. If I or Dag feels like changing them, then we will.
This can be affected by weather or seasonal change, or it could be some random theme we want.
I like to hear from other people, though, and see what kind of ideas they have. I would imagine it would be pretty cool seeing a herd of zombie deer, don't you think?

And you can ask as many questions as you like, but please keep in mind that Dag and I are still planning everything and getting everything ready. The Herd might not officially start up for a while yet, but it will, and when it does it's going to be AWESOME. (:

Yes. If you give me a link to his biography or pictogram, I would be happy to add him. <3

Thankyou for answering those

Thankyou for answering those questions, Ravynn. Now I don't have to worry about dressing up the wrong way X.X.

May Xeoduz join? She's a doe, and I have her set up already with the pelt and 'non antlers'. Do you need the real deer mask, because I find that it makes the 'deer' look more deerish. So, is that allowed?

Just to let everyone know

Just to let everyone know that I'm away for most of the evening now, so there's a 50/50 chance I might not be able to make it tonight for the first herd meeting, and I'm unsure if Ravyn will be around either. But it doesn't matter too much, just meet at the playground and have fun!

Just to be clear, you need to be wearing either of the pelts above, real deer mask and the antlers depending on your deers gender.

Lani, the easiest timezone to compare it to is US Central, it'll be towards the end of the list =)
Lanithedeer's picture

Thanks for the info,

Thanks for the info, Iaurdagnire!

8 AM. I normally wake up a bit before that for school, but I sleep in till about 10 on weekends LOL. I'll try!

Iaurdagnire's picture

Oh no.. Ravyn, I've just

Oh no..

Ravyn, I've just realized that in the time zone converter, I must have used greenwich mean world time, not greenwich mean london time. I only realized now because I came home for midnight and no-one was around... lol, oh the fail, I'm so embarrassed.

Too late to do anything now, but, we can fix it one of 3 ways.

1: Keep the UK time, change the US time so it's:
Saturday 12pm (Midnight) UK // 6pm US Central
Sunday: 11pm UK // 5pm US Central

2: Keep the US time, change the UK time to:
Saturday 1am UK // 7pm US Central
Sunday: 12pm UK // 6pm US Central

3: Only change the US time for Saturday so that it's not 1am for UK, and change Sunday UK to the proper time which is midnight not 11:
Saturday 12pm (Midnight) UK // 6pm US Central
Sunday: 12pm UK // 6pm US Central
(with this option it will be the same time for both days)

Everyone: If you were using US Central to convert your time, this doesn't effect you, it's only UK time that I screwed up ;_;

I'm really sorry /: I have to go to bed now but I'll pick this back up tomorrow if I can, but... if you guys could pick a fix option that would be great...

I vote for whatever's best

I vote for whatever's best for the UKers. The US Central is pretty convenient at any of those options.

Iaurdagnire's picture

You won't have to erase the

You won't have to erase the link Ravyn, we'll just have to clarify that to convert the time you either need to pick US Central or GMT+1 (rather than GMT which is defaults to). I'll do that (:

Personally I think option 1 would be best, because UK players will need to sleep before work/school on monday 8D'''

Maybe we could trial that Sunday time tonight?
Sunday: 11pm GMT+1 (UK) // 5pm US Central

And see how it goes?

And btw the time converter won't work for me... What time is it in Norway when the meeting starts?
gloryofdeerforever's picture

@Iaurdagnire: Um what would

@Iaurdagnire: Um what would be the time for Oregon? 6:00pm?

This is Dag, I've decided

This is Dag,

I've decided it's too much trouble to try and agree on a brand new time, so I'm making both days the same as they were only an hour out in the first place (hope that's okay Ravyn, I just don't want to much about with this more than needed):

So the official times are below which are now updated on the blog:

Saturday 12 Midnight UK // 6pm US Central
Sunday: 12 Midnight UK // 6pm US Central


The time for today's meet is the same as before, it is just saturday that has changed.

I've also screen-shot some instructions:
Converting from Midnight UK
Converting from 6pm US Central

z.m123 -> Your timezone would be Europe/Oslow on the list, correct? If so it would be 1am I'm afraid /:

Glorydeerforever -> I don't live in the US and don't know where Oregon is. You'll need to find out if you're central/eastern US etc, and when you do you can pick your timezone from the US section near the bottom of the list.

Can you make it so I can join next time?
Iaurdagnire's picture

/: Timezones are really

/: Timezones are really annoying, because it just isn't possible to make it suite everyone - we all live all over the globe! If we change the time for one person, it will mean a handful of other people won't be able to make it instead. The times we have were picked via polls we had a week or so ago, and 6/7pm US were the most popular times I'm afraid.

But I don't think these times will stay the same forever, though (:

Oh man.. I think I got the times wrong. I haven't learnt a thing about time zones at school yet but I DON'T know why!

Anyone here smart enough and can be bothered to convert it for Western Australia? We aren't in Daylight savings so no worries there ^^
