Hyena Clan!

[Thulani]

Hello guys! So, I've talked about the successful hyena clan from the last Sunrise a few times in the MUCK plot thread. I would -love- to run another one of these.

I see that so far, the plot seems to be in favor of the old Lion prides and whatnot. I have no problem with that, obviously it's what most people here want. I will be creating a Lion alt, so it's all fine and dandy!

But! We need some diversity! Some conflict! And what better to give that diversity and conflict than a hyena clan? They are the moral enemies of lions, aren't they? It'd be awesome. In my experience, many people like to play hyenas because, oh, I don't know, they're made of pure win.

Anyway, just a thought. I'd be creating a hyena alt either way, but just so that the idea is out here for others to support or not support.

(Also, I don't want to ultra spam the forum or anything.. but I would like to see + possibly head up as well, some sort of prey animal herd, and a cheetah clan/tribe/whatever it'd be called, if allowed. If appropriate, I'll make seperate threads for each group that .. at least, I -think- people would have interest in, or just me. )

I actually may have an idea for this hyena clan. If you have AIM or MSN and would like to discuss it.

[Thulani]

I do! AIM = ComradeVolkova.
I'm usually on all the time. I'm headed off to the casino tonight (woo!), but I will have an away message up and I can get back wit'cha when I get back. :]

I'd be willing to toss a hyena concept/character design I have for a male forward if someone decided to actually run a clan.

I would love to be the matron of the clan. I've done it before, so I've got some experience. :]

As hyenas always seem to be the most popular non-leonine option for any other group (and seems to be the case here as well), I'd definitely think they'd be the best non-pridal group to start with. The other group ideas are good, but you don't want to expand a small playerbase too fast -- keep the activity concentrated among 2-3 groups to start with, and as more players join and show interest, grow from there.

But specifically in relation to the thread, I had a hyena before the last crash as well, and I'll probably end up creating another here once it's up (in addition to a lioness, of course).

A little late, but I'd definitely be onboard for a hyena clan. :3

[Thulani]

Awwwwwwwwwwesomes! :]

Hey again! So, I've created a poll that you guys should vote in if you would like a hyena character or not, just to give the future players maybe a very vague guideline for when they create their character.

Should the hyenas be 'good guys,' but are simply either "misunderstood" by the Lions due to rivalries for both prey and land?

Should they be neutral, playing both sides of the coin equally? (This is what the Nquobile Clan from the last Sunrise was, more or less.)

Or, should they be evil? As in, Lion King evil?

Personally, I vote for evil. For the MUCK, it can establish real conflict between the Lions and something else instead of themselves. For the players, it's fun, I think. Evil characters tend to be more manipulative, conniving, sneaky, all that good stuff.

So yeah. Vote! Share your thoughts!
