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.

Laniethedeer: TEH is
TEH is basically only fun when everyone joins.
The first time we gathered in-forest, there was 13+ members online.
TEH doesn't really have a purpose... I just thought it would be an amazing sight to see a herd of real deer run around in-game.
It's a place to be OOC, too, and just get away from your character.
And it unites everyone... And believe it or not, it's really fun. (:
And of course fawns are allowed. (:
I have to add that to the notes... Thanks for bringing that up. <3
Haha OK thankyou Ravynn. I
It's no trouble at all, and speaking of that, could I maybe add my fawn Ali to the herd? She's currently a fawn now and will grow up next month!

I'll be happy to add her,

I love the music, but do you think you could make the player bigger? It's just on big screens like mine, it's almost impossible to click the pause button, and I would like the option to pause it without getting angry at it xD'

I need a link for your characters, please.
A biography link or pictogram link- either one is fine. (:

Would there be room to play a juvenile male deer, and have the beluga antlers to show this? Because I think it might be neat to have this as an option to distinguish you as an "omega" deer so to speak. Hanging back, bullied and chased off now and again if one is too close to the leader's

Like, you playing as an
I would only want you playing this role though b/c 1. You help me run this thing and 2. I don't want everyone to try and be different b/c what's the point if a herd of that happens? x:
Hmm... Are you going to get on Yahoo today?

Oh sorry here's the link to
I'm to lazy to use html codes right now. -_-
I don't mean an oddball or
I can understand that you wouldn't want lots of different things in the herd -I'm not trying to be different - it's kinda more about combating the population of males we might get. So how about we forget the beluga antlers idea, and I can just play a low-ranking male like I tried out before? That way there's no visual difference ^^
I'll be on Yahoo later on =)
I like this idea. I really
Do you think a variety in antlers would be too much variety?
We already have variety in size.
I mean, I'm okay with it as long as it isn't the trumpet horns or anything too unrealistic.
Maybe I'll make a list.
Beluga.
Great White.
Default.
Noe. (Does)
Do you have anymore ideas? I really like one you suggested...

Did we allow the great white
And I hope you don't mind me shoving ideas here rather than talking through Yahoo; here I figure people can read and debate it if they don't like it =)
Idea 1:
If we do allow the great white antlers, what about only the current leader being allowed to wear them as an optional thing? This would mean:
a) Sticks out, easier to follow when the herd moves rather than to rely on finding a pictogram in a sea of same-looking deer.
b) Lets players (TEH or not) know by sight that this person is the current leader without having to check the community site.
c) Doing this and making the great whites purely a symbol of who is the leader will also get rid of the feeling that people wearing the great whites are more dominant in the herd game than the default antlers. The Herd is about deer behaviour after all, not who's rack is bigger (pffft sorry, couldn't resist *is hit*)
Reason for all of the above is that the great whites are more desirable as antlers, and I'd be worried about everyone deciding they'd want to wear them... And if everyone gets a turn as the leader, everyone will be able to wear them at some point. If we went with this, we could explain it similarly to how real herd ranking works:
Great White = Symbol of the Lead Stag; An optional symbol of who is the current Leader; only when it is your turn as Leader of The Herd can you choose to wear them.
Defult = Stag
Beluga = Juvenile Stag; an antler choice for those who wish to play a submissive, lowest-ranking male in the herd.
Noe = Doe
/idea
xD I really don't want to complicate TEH, because simplicity is part of it's brilliance. However, using something simple like basic antler choice like this might make it easier for people to understand how to behave like a real deer? I don't know _D_ *flees*
I'm so happy this is open
Can I rejoin with this (http://tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/register/pictogram.php?username=Fishie) Picto as a male? He has no name or bio, but if you need to call him something you can call him Fish.
I would also like to say that I LOVE Dag's idea about the antlers c:
Awesome idea Dag. I agree. :3

Will you help me fix this page and make it look more appealing when you get the chance?
Not the CSS.. It's just I feel like the information I put on there is very random and kind of scattered... I'm really bad at organization. :/

I haven't talked to Dag about switching around... but I think if you want to do so you should, if you have another character to spare, link us to the pictogram.
You won't need a biography for it or anything. A pictogram would be fine. (:

I am still going to join, but I'm going to find another pictogram.
I just remembered I adopted one from Custard's(?) picto adoption blog. I'll go get a link.
Call him Nomm. Hmm, if no more females join anytime soon feel free to move me to that list. <3
Got it. Thanks. (:

Thankyou Ravynn. When is the
Edit: Sorry, but I do have a few more questions...
1. We would have to wear the real deer mask, right?
2. In Winter, would the deer pelts change to permadevout? I have so much trouble getting it for my deer.
3. What is the fawn's role in the herd?
4. Should we be able to use the default pelt too since it's real deer?
5. What ideas do you have for the pelts changing in different seasons, and possibly making the stag's antlers fall off during some special season so they wear Doe Nubs?
Just some suggestions and questions..
