ACTUS REUS, DAWN, AUDEN;; 7.22.10

[Rebecca]

So let's just get this over with. I have a bit of bad news for you all, and this is not a joke. This saddens me very deeply. Dawn has decided to leave SN, stepping down as MarshClan's medicine cat and one of Somewhere in the Night's co-admin. Before I explain why she left, I must explain the history of SN so her reasons make better sense.

Rebecca, Pretzel, Cloud, Frosty, and Dawn were all once in a wonderful neopets guild called MarshClan (and yes, it's still there for you stalkers). However MarshClan was not doing too well. It was starting to become inactive, something Rebecca would not let happen. So she decided to make MarshClan into a pro board so it could grow in strength and in numbers to become the amazing role play she knew it was meant to be.
So, Rebecca created SN.
Pro boards soon proved itself to be very different from neopets.com. Pretzel, showed Dawn Rebecca, and Frosty how to cope, Frosty and Rebecca more than Dawn since we were able to get on more. Dawn never got enough to adjust, I suppose.

The reasons why she was inactive are mainly due to her sport, tennis, and weight training. Dawn has become very good and I'm sure she could beat Rebecca to the ground with a bunch of tennisballs. Training takes up time, so Dawn was never able to come on. She felt guilty about not being here, so she decided not to let her account rot. I respect and thank her for that, and I wish her well in everything she does.
So Dawn, if you ever read this know that we love you and you're always welcome here.

There.
Now to adress Dawn's empty spot...
There will be no election. There will be no new co-admin. Frosty and Pretzel suit Rebecca just fine. Perhaps one day she may decide to add on to the Staff, but for now everything is perfectly fine.

Now to Auden.
As I'm sure you all know Auden is going to leave us for camp, and won't be back for quite some time. However her characters have been taken care of, and Frosty, Pretzel, and I will help check bios. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew!
We'll miss you too, Auden!

While the Staff is saying they're goodbyes, just be aware that I'm at swim camp until Friday morning. I already can't feel my abs, so don't be surprised if I'm not very active until the weekend.

See that little bar up above? Yeah. This means that this plot info is... important. I am announcing our next site plot: Actus Reus.

The PineClan v. OakClan plot will be wrapping up, and Actus Reus should actually start right now.
For those of you who need an updateon our current plot, Hawkstar is planning on attacking DustClan to appease StarClan and to have a valid excuse to coincidentally find a few spare rabbits to feed his starving Clan.

Anyways, back to Actus Reus.
Actus Reus is Latin for "wrongful act". Kudos to Rachel for coming up with the idea. This summary is also by Rachel.
THIS PLOT (C) RACHEL AND KIN.

"MarshClan had a plentiful amount of kits. They liked to boast that they had more than any other Clan. They called it a blessing from StarClan, however they were proven wrong. fter training and teaching these kits the way of the Clan and the Warrior Code their was a disagreement in the Can. Hawkstar had gotten very religious, severe punishments were handed out for the slightest error. It wasn’t that the young cats didn’t believe in honoring StarClan, but they believed their leader went too far. The cats that had grown up together were disgruntled and angry. Usually this would have died down after a moon or so, but then the worse thing happened. Doekit (at that time Doestep) had been hunting for a starving Clan and was caught. Usually this infraction would be punished, but Hawkstar went farther than any other time. He banished Doekit from the Clan. The cats who had grown up with Doekit were angry and left with their friend. This was a huge blow to MarshClan because they lost a large amount of their cats in one day. Hawkstar was angry and demanded they come back, but being the adolescents they were they refused. The rogues, including the angry family of Adanna, were in a fury at their territory being invaded. Both the family of rogues and the four original Clans prepare for war to bring back the rebellious young cats of MarshClan.

The Actus Reus Gang so far:
Doekit
Isbiskit
Ergretkit
Ochrekit
Willowkit
Gorsekit
Sleetkit
Quillkit

If you're missing from the list, please tell me.

Just to make this plot really fun, there will be teams!
Each team represents a different outcome.

Team MarshClan, whose color would be blue, would represent Hawkstar reconciling with the estranged warriors, leaving the rogues to their territory, and letting them rejoin MarshClan once again.

Team Adanna will represent the rogues (which are mostly descandents of Adanna, hence the name) winning the war over the Lawless Territory and forcing the new group to find a different territory. Their color would be green.

And finally the last team would be Actus Reus. This would represent the ex-MarshClanners beating Team Adanna, taking over the Mountain, and establishing their independence from MarshClan. Their color would be red.

I'll be dying avatars for this. Dying an avatar means that I color filter it for you on Photoshop. Contact me to get yours done, mmkay?
TEAM MARSHCLAN FTW.
