This is what has happened to the Forest. There's no love anymore.

You know what I see? I see the newer members posting "Does anyone wanna be my mate?" blogs again. And the people who don't do that participate in the rut, making stags have loveless sex with does they barely know so they can have babies for no reason other than to reproduce.

Since when was this the real world?

The Forest was created to be an artistic and imaginative outlet. It was meant for you to create a unique character and see what happens. It was meant to be a new experience. What's so new about real deer? EVERYONE knows what a real deer is.

When I joined.

Not when you joined. When I joined.

There was a way to have children. It was called making friends, finding love, and having a family.

Now what is it? Find a stag to present for you and see if you like it, then let him have his way with you. ~*THAT'S SO MAGICAL*~

This makes me want to puke.

Pega's wonderful philosophy has been buried.

This is no longer the place of magic I've known. And I know a LOT of oldies tend to say this. But I'm not talking about the cliques or the artwork or the violence. I'm talking about something that was actually an important to the Forest that is now lost. New players don't see the old way of things anymore.

What they will see is "Oh, they do things the way real deer do things, so I'll be a real deer too."

THIS IS NOT WHAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE.

I'm going around in circles. I'm expressing the fact that this rut has changed everything. It's turned from love into something I hate.

Where did the love go?

Where are the happy families?

Sometimes I think me and a precious few others are the only ones left with families who actually had children out of love. And I think I might be right.

I've basically lost hope in love here. It'll never come back now. There will never be love. Only sex.

The Fawn

Why does it have to be so complicated?
Why can't it just be black and white, plain and simple?
Why can't my enemies...stay my enemies?
And why can't they all just leave me alone to die in peace?

No, I'm not dying. I won't...won't believe that just yet. I'll just keep struggling. I won't give in to them yet.

Maybe I'm going crazy. Maybe that other stuff didn't happen, and things can go back to the way they should be. That would be much better...

I miss Darkweaver. I saw him for so little time today...My first friend. How will I tell you the news? How will I break it to you that...

I saw her too. I remember disliking her, but I don't remember why. So I let her sit by me. I'm sure it was a mistake. Then...again...

I left the group soon after Darkweaver disappeared. He didn't even say goodbye...

I'm glad the group didn't follow me. Or maybe I'm not. After I left, he came. He wore those frightening white antlers like tree branches...The symbol above his head even matched mine. Or close to it. He came over so quickly, kept coming, coming...

He didn't listen! I kept telling him to go away...but he kept coming. I tried to kick at him, but he wouldn't go away even then. He just kept following me and following me...

He stopped once. I went to the Gods, to give them punishment, show that I was still alive despite that fright of a deer. But then, she was behind me. Blue doe, followed by two others...and him. I ran.

I remember a blur of other deer trying to help me. One of them was her. He just wouldn't stop...I had to leave, to run, which only ended in a coughing fit. It went on and on, finally stopping only when I was hardly able to walk. I limped to the pond, but another deer lay in wait for me.

Sooo, who was the very sad/scared deer, and why was Sqishy being told "no" ? I'm very confused.

Hi! I'm kinda new and kinda old here.
A lot of you may have seen me running around in the forest before, but I didn't really find interest in the community site until now. I didn't realize you could log in here and actually talk to everyone! I just thought I'd never really want to talk to anyone anyway, but I think it's going to make things better for me in the forest to have some friends.
Anyway, I just joined the rut with my doe Talor... maybe I'll get my stag Husky to join in too.

Also, it's nice to know who all these deer belong to! xD

Ok I need to make this quick before my internet fails me again.
I havent been able to get on here for some reason, and the forest is no longer working. I havent had much trouble getting on other sites. Im not sure when I'll be on again. Hopefully my computer will stop being a butt!

I havent forgotten about you guys! Never!
But for now I will be away.

Love ya'll!!! <3

Yesterday Far Star saw huge dandelions in the Forest, this screenshot doesn't show how giant it all was looking but better than no picture at all. Today all huge flora and fauna have disappeared.. mystery or glitch it was fun to frolic among large petals..

Energy: 80% <- mostly preserved, has been more at rest than in action.
Success confidence: 65% <- Rut season getting late, still no does. Now resorting to challenging other stags in their land and enticing their does.

Land: The lowland between the playground and twin statues.
Does Courted: 0? If any, it's hard to tell.
Spars: 2

he would like to try out his newly grown antler's so if any one ethier in the rut or not would like to spare with him he'll be more then willing to this is what he look's like (his the ocra pelted one the doe next to him is his sister Leea)

his picto look's like this
