Shadowful Depths
The caves that the Wildfate call home have their fair share of dark tunnels that none dare to venture through. Rumors spread by cheeky adolescents say that these depths are inhabited by the ghosts of their ancestors, to scare the more gullible pups away from the more dangerous places in the caves. But in these deep, shadow-filled caverns, there seem to be signs of activity. Not of ghosts, but of a separate pack of wolves entirely. What are they doing, down in these shadowy caverns? How do they survive?(Hardmode)
1) Anyone can die.
2) A single breeding pair exists in the pack. They are referred to as the Alphas (or Alpha and Beta pair).
3) No Herbalist.
4) No Pupsitters.
5) Pack members who leave due to low needs cannot return.
6) Currency doesn't exist for this pack. There is no buying food or supplies.
7) Pups and adolescents may only be trained by members of the hardmode pack.
RECRUITMENT:
1) Wolves can be recruited every 10 rollovers OR when a chased wolf is found in explore.
2) A max of 4 unrelated wolves can be in the pack. (Adopted counts as related.)
3) A max of 10 wolves may be in the pack at all times. (This doesn't count nursing pups.)
4) Recruited wolves may be either NBWs found in explore OR wolves born to the main pack.
5) If the recruitment day falls in SPRING, then a coin is flipped to determine if the main pack "loses" a pup.
6) If the recruitment day falls in SUMMER, then a coin is flipped to determine if a lost pup is found. In this case, a pup may be adopted from the enclave.
7) If the recruitment day falls in AUTUMN, then a coin is flipped to determine if the main pack "loses" an adult wolf.
8) If the recruitment day falls in WINTER, then a coin is flipped to determine if a pregnant female is introduced to the pack.
9) In the case of a total pack wipe, the game is over.
ALPHAS:
1) Starting alphas are generation 1 NBWs.
2) When an alpha dies, it may be replaced by another wolf of suitable age.
3) When both alphas die, they must be replaced by at least one wolf of their blood.
4) If there are no relatives available, then an unrelated wolf may be made alpha.
5) Alphas are the pack's breeding pair.
6) There is a maximum of 2 alphas at any time.
7) If there are no adult wolves to be made alpha, then the pups either die, are sent to new packs, or are raised by the main pack until adulthood, in which they will return to the hardmode pack.
FOOD:
1) Food must be hunted by members of the hardmode pack.
2) No food hoarding. Food must be used on the day it was obtained.
HEALTH:
1) Wolves that contract a non-lethal illness may be cured based on chance every day after the day of contraction until HP reaches zero, in which case the wolf dies.
2) Wolves that contract a lethal illness die.
3) HP can only be recovered naturally through rollover or through level-up.
(Rules are subject to change based on how they work in actual play.)
"Die" can also refer to being chased/sent away depending on if I think the wolf is worth it or not. Either way, they will be considered dead and won't be rejoining the pack.
Imagine finding a bajillion chased after weeks of nothing right after starting hardmode LOL
