Day 15 - 2/15/2021 - Robot doing his thing, messing up the first hunt of the day :^) - Ruelle delievered her pups! bingo and bongo. At first I was severely underwhelmed and ready to yeet them with my cold, dead heart but they look remarkably better when aged up. See? See?? I'm actually quite smitten with bongo. I think I'll be keeping her and selling/chasing bingo cause I don't want to fall into the pup trap. Just one or two of each litter will be staying with me :) the lore implications hmmm - Need to give the pups proper names but it always takes me so long - Bongos got pink skin! She's the first wolf I've seen with it and oh lord just look at her cute little eyes and pink paws omg i'm soft - The snake wants me to slay 3 reptiles today. Says they're "giving him trouble". Oh, you've got beef, little man? You're just a snake - We discovered the desert yesterday, btw! Now working on the swamp - Rupina's finally level 9. I'm really on that grind now after discovering you can only see chased wolves at level 10 - The NBW from earlier was bought out, but it looks like he's likely to be chased cause the person's an albino breeder. Sad to see it, but sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles - Skaen is like, very quickly overtaking Arphid as a scout. Arphid, please at least carry your own weight if you're gonna be so ugly - Finishing up the 1st-page character sketches but I've got no inspiration for Shoof and Terrine - Named the pups :) the keeper is Miss Frenesi and Cupra is her brother who'll be chased or sold when he's weaned |

Day 16 - 2/16/2021 - Maagwi's aged into an adult - Still playing around in the wardrobe. I kinda want my subsequent lead wolves to be descendants of Rupina so I can always trace it back to my first wolf, but lore-wise its up in the air. This is an option for her maybe? Ugh I just want rare markings on my heir - Leaving Cupra un-pupsat for the drama. If its meant to be, its meant to be :^) let's see if he can pull through. Right now his survival chance is sitting at 60% - Picked up a new pupper yesterday, welcome little one! Named Gehenna! - Gotta remember to nest Extotia today - I've decided I'm not really going to care about inbreeding, but I'm still going to try to avoid some of the more popular studs. The only one I'll check thoroughly is my breeding male, cause I know lots of people do care. Poe is the top contender for that position so far, and he's clean. - Note to self: change Poe's base to Pale - Bought a Feldspar pup because I have no impulse control :^) it has got to be one of the most beautiful bases though. Named Ladouceur! - I wanna start writing down lore plans in this thread soon enough to explain some of the happenings I've been documenting, pack rules, rights of succession, mentorship, etc. - I caved and changed Poe's base to pale today. He's aging up in 3 more days and I can't wait for him to become a stud powerhouse - Fully scouted the Taiga with Skaen! - Oh--barf 🤢🤮 Skaen got mange I think? My first time seeing it on a wolf, very gross, thank you. I just nested Extotia so I couldn't even craft the cure, but thankfully I had some in my storage - Robot finally got kicked from the party and ooby dooby that hit on synergy h u r t s - Maagwi added as chaser in place of Robot. Robot's moving to the Half-Moon party with Komo, to be joined by many of the romantic adols once they age :) - so for parties, Sunstone is now all stoic and friendly, and I'm working towards making Half-Moon aggressive and romantic - as soon as I changed Sunstone party around they captured a prey I've never seen before lol (mountain goat) - Oh lord am I relieved. Gave Arphid a little makeover since I bought GC today and he looks MUCH more bearable now. I love the look of white dilution on black so much. It's probably one of my fave combos, and it's so simple :) I probably won't be touching him much from now on since I have no intention to breed him unless it's for lore. For my own records: I got rid of slot 2 white bottoms and added white dilution in slot 10 with a marking applicator. Lore ramblings below: - I think when I have the time and motivation to write lore for the pack, I'll make a post separate from these regular logs so people can easily differentiate? - Because winter is ending, I'd like to make a lore post about a post-winter festival and maybe flesh out the different age groups and their expectations. As of now, the pups don't do anything, the adolescents do "training" in the broadest sense of the word, and the adults are assigned to their roles. I'm thinking (like many others) that adolescents are grouped based on their inherent talents and trained up under mentors in the Serpent Skirt. This role would be assigned through the clan diviner (which currently is Maagwi) - The clan diviner is restricted to only seeing what we (the players) can gather from the wolf's profile page, so just stats, proficiency in roles, personality, fertility, etc. - I want to start and flesh out the other (opposing?) "clan" in the Shiawase Clans. Right now there's just the one, but I did name my pack plural clans with the expectation I would eventually make two separate packs. Then I could make two separate bloodline projects, one stemming from Rupina and the other from someone else. Perhaps pack dissidence splits the group we currently have? - I know I want my pack to go down the more mystical track, but not stray too far into the magical aspects. Somewhere in between. They have an affinity for natural poisons/venom, hence the cave names, but I'd like to expand on that more and make some rules to flesh it out. They aren't necessarily an evil pack, but I think it would be easy for them to become misguided under Rupina's rule since she is so ambitious and cares for her own people leagues above others. Chaotic neutral for now, but that's subject to change - I need to make a lore-friendly way to introduce the pup rule and polygamy system since I'm obsessed with the idea of Rupina having a harem. Obviously, the pair bonding system would make this difficult to do in game, so I'm still considering it and the work arounds. Perhaps it will be unofficial polygamy. Maybe I'll just scrap the idea. Who knows? That's what ramblings are for :^) - I'll need to come up with an heir rule - I need to decide what I want to do with Rupina and Arphid's first little (Shoof and Terrine). Terrine got a breed-only T1 base, which is pretty neat, and her markings are 100% opacity, but she only has two of them and she's kinda plain. Stats blow too. They are so cute as adols, but not so much as adults! Shoof kinda looks like that one Lin Manuel Miranda biting his lip pic. I might keep one and have them have babies to continue the line, then chase them? They are firstborn so they're kinda special :) |

Day 17 - 2/17/2021 - First day of spring :) - Thank you for the bump, Aleah <3 all my love goes out to you - Lots happened today! Naadirr aged into an adult, Gehenna aged into an adol, and Extotia gave birth to my first runt litter! I plan to incorporate all of these events into the lore post above, maybe. I'll chip away at it as inspiration hits me today - Pfft so this is my first season on the website, and I'm pretty sure they only incorporated the percentage chances above the hunting trails once winter began, so seeing the chance go up so much was a shock. Guess I can start hunting large prey again! - Extotia pups! The largest one is a conceited pup named Inei and he's got the highest stats of the litter at 333! The second pup is Pise and he's sarcastic with 325 stats. The third pup is named Polyphoe and she's a vulgar female with 327 stats. The fourth gal is named Petrallea and she's an Obnoxious female with 325 stats. The last one and the runt is the beautiful, yet unfriendly Sagitise with 308 stats! - Wow, the whole litter produced absolute menaces. How did they all manage to take after their mother? Shiawase is getting more evil by the day - I love how many quartz bases we have in this litter! It's such a subtle fade, but the lavender tinge near their paws is just so beautiful imo! Inei, my fave of the litter got another BO base: shell. - Naddirr joins the Half-Moon party as a finisher - Prospective role for Gehenna? - Which puppy am I keeping? I like all of the breed-only bases. So far the largest puppy is my favorite, but I also like the runt (even though she's lacking markings) - So, uh, funny coincidence (NOT a blatant ripoff please don't hunt me down with extreme prejudice), Nelthyen's Bat and Arphid's new design look eERiLy similar - Lmao tbh Bat was one of the first I saw with the white dilution on the black base and that made me fall in love with the look, but I didn't realize she also had the nose line and brownish-red dorsal going on. Bat's still much prettier, but they do look like they could be estranged siblings - I'm going to get Rupina to level 10 today even if it kills me - She's done it folks! Level 10 babeyy - Arphid reached level 10 today also hmm. But Skaen just joined the scouting team and he's already level 8? I'm thinking I'm gonna reassign Arphid to the hunting party and get Poe on the scouting team to raise those stats. Lore-wise, Poe wouldn't do well in a hunting party since he Doesn't Work Well With Others. - I really can't wait for him to grow up. Poe's probs my fave character lore-wise, even though I haven't written much about him. I'll get around to it eventually - GC is really cheap right now on the TC, so I bought some and gave Poe a new random marking in slot 3 :^) |

Day 18 - 2/18/2021 - I forgot to feed Extotia an extra use of food so all her pups got an 8% survival nerf :/ - I like the idea of RNG picking the surviving pups but at the same time I've already got plans for them that I don't want RNG to mess with - Oopsie daisy - "Cupra tumbled down a hill and had his side snagged on a sharp, thorny branch on the way down. The wound will take time to heal - thankfully, Cupra does not seem too bothered. Oh no! Cupra gained a small injury and suffered -1 HP" - he's the pup of Ruelle's I left un-sat - Ladouceur aged into an adol today! - I've finally decided I'm going to chase Shoof so he forever remains an adorable adolescent in my heart. He's not dying! He's just going away for a while... doing teenager things. Goodbye you keen little guy 😢 Your stats are garbage but I hope wherever you find yourself allows you to live out your dreams - Terrine will stay and breed a 3rd gen baby so Rupina has grandkids in the pack :) She'll miss her brother - Shoof is definitely running away from home. He's sick of getting his ass kicked by Poe and having a mother who's too absorbed in her work to step in and mediate issues. - Shoof wanted to take Terrine with him but she wanted to stay. Who knows though, she may go looking for him in the future - With Shoof gone things in the Skirt have been very uneasy. Poe has been unusually quiet and has begun spending long periods of time resting alone in the far corner of the cave Residents of the Serpent Skirt now: - Anodyne | Observant: stats 320; top stat STR 82 | 10 months - Gehenna | Charming: stats 220; top stat AGL 50 | 6 1/2 months - Ladouceur | Confident: stats 264; top stat WIS 60 | 6 months - Poe | Combative: stats 382; top stat SMT 86 | 11 1/2 months - Terrine | Independent : stats 186; top stat AGL & SPD 38 | 8 1/2 months - Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I found this beautiful boy yesterday in the Desert :^) He didn't stay long, but he stopped by for a chat and played with the pups a little (I just like keeping records of pretty NBWs) - I checked Extotia for Albinism since she's an NBW I'll be keeping, but nope: "Gene approaches Extotia and presses his ear tightly into her fur. He mumbles something under his breath before plucking a single hair strand directly from the coat. He turns his back to you and fumbles around with it and a series of objects. After a short period, he offers a small smile.. 'Extotia is clear for Albinism! Not a carrier.'". I'll check the other slots when I have the disposable income |

Day 19 - 2/19/2021 - Poe has finally grown up! He looks great as an adult :^) And, as planned, he's been made breeding male. Visit him <here> if you'd like to breed him! Until I get him fully marked-up and statted up, studs will only be 50 SC and the rest will be refunded in a private trade :) - 🥀 Inei got curious and followed an ant trail deep into a wood thicket. Hours later, he returns, thirsty, hungry, and peppered in unsightly bumps. The ants didn't appreciate 🥀 Inei kicking up their hill. Who knew so many tiny jaws could hurt so much? Oh no! 🥀 Inei gained a small injury and suffered -3 HP - What a doofus. - I was stalking the TC again for low-lineage pups and I found these two! Russet (renamed Tohopko) and Sarder (renamed Nasiphe). The both of them have awful personalities lmao but boy oh boy are they gonna be pretty! My pack is going to be overtaken by villainous wolves - Found this gorgeous fella in the desert yesterday. Selling him but I'll be sad if he gets picked up by a mutie breeder to be checked and chased :( If any of you reading want him, shot me a PM and I'll send him over - Arphid made it to 100% scouting proficiency on the day he's being reassigned! That's exciting :) Makes it seem like he's retiring rather than being demoted lol - Poe is taking over Arphid's role as a scout. Arphid is going to relax with the pups for a while before deciding what he wants to conquer next. - Skaen is not thrilled to be teamed up with Poe, but Poe doesn't seem to be too keen to play the apprentice anyways. Looks like the new scouting team is starting out on cold terms. - Rupina won her first trophy today! A bobcat's tail - Ya'll ever eat a centipede in the desert? Pfft sure you have - Poe leveled up 4 times today goddamn. He's a clean 400 (Strength 77 | Speed 84 | Agility 74 | Wisdom 74 | Smarts 91) |

Day 20 - 2/20/2021 - Cupra and Frenesi were weaned today! They will be joining the puppies and adolescents in the Skirt - Cupra is up for sale in the TC :) - Poe got another marking in slot 5 (Red Cover (39%)). I liked his black and white look before, but I'm super into this pop of color. Still wondering if I should leave the rest of his markings up to RNG or do it custom - Polyantha is in heat today. I think I'm gonna breed her to Poe for the fun of it :^) By the end of the day I'm hoping Poe will level up one more time and then I'll do it. She's quite pretty, that girl. Only a little inbred. It hasn't affected her cognitive functions that much so it shouldn't matter. Dumb little thing (affectionate) - Snake wants a roadrunner feather, cedar bark, and a pronghorn doe carcass? I have literally never seen that before what the heck. You're getting fat, snake. Cut down on the large game maybe - Wow, literally a minute after I posted this one of the snakes in the grasslands gave it to me. I already fed my wolves today hmm :/ don't wanna be wasteful but maybe I can trade it in the TC for a 1 use one - Finally finished the Lore post above ^^ - Anyone want a buttload of of 1 use bones for decor? I don't have any recipes so I can't craft, but I wanna contribute to them pretty, decked out wolves of yours :') send me a PM and I'll set up a private trade for you! - Also on that note, got a bunch of unused arnica for any decor need of yours. Same goes here :) - Changed my mind, gonna breed Polyantha on the last day of her heat to maximize stats since Poe is leveling up so quick - Pfft and I lied. Who am I kidding? I have no patience. Poe and Polyantha are mated, Poly's preggers |

Day 21 - 2/21/2021 - Absolutely nothing happened in my rollover summary - Old Mr. fartbag Robot got open wound from the first hunt of the day, and I think he's the first wolf to get one? - Actually I think Rupina had one from losing a fight. Robot's the first to get one from a hunt. I guess RNG has blessed me - Rupina's in heat today so I'm on stud watch - Bred her to the gorgeous Lore! What a handsome guy :) hopefully at least one of her pups will pick up some markings - Polyantha showed up with an open wound now. I guess today's the day of open wounds - Omg... I just found perhaps the most beautiful NBW ever here. I am so torn. She's nothing special and her stats are awful but the heart wants what it wants. - Keeping her for now. Named the cutie Elan :^) - Gave Poe another RMA in slot 6 and he got Deira Grizzle (80%) |
