Welcome to TGoL

"The Game of Life", or TGoL, is a semi-realistic, post-by-post, wolf roleplay site based around a chess metaphor for a war between two packs: Light and Dark Pack, respectively, to match the light and dark pieces on a chess board. The wolves themselves don't know anything about chess of course, only that they are locked in a seemingly eternal battle for the rights to their thriving yet limited land. Tensions are high, blood has been shed, and all must be careful which move they make next, for it could either ensure a victory for them or the end of everything. You, as a player, may either play a wolf from one of the packs, directly involved with the war in some way, or a loner on the outside, either looking in, taking advantage of the distracted packs, or staying out of it all together.

SPRING 01

The ice and snow of winter are finally starting to melt away as things warm up, making way for budding flowers, returning prey, and spring showers. Mating season is no longer in effect, but those whom did get pregnant should expect to give birth within the season, towards the beginning of Summer. Prey is steadily becoming a little more plentiful, which is good news, but all of the melting snow/ice and the spring showers are causing The Divide and Flatlands to flood, coaxing both packs to stay on their respective sides... lest they wish to get swept down stream.

REVISIONS AND ADDITIONS

Posting a second announcemnt to bring attention to some changes I've made and to let prospective members know what's going on!

// 1. Final Change of the Site Skin. Since the site still didn't have any members when we went through our last two skins, this change likely won't be noticeable to those reading this, but yes, I have changed the skin for the third time and will be settling on this one! With this, I would like to note that you'll see some important threads with white and black tables, and some with black and grey tables; this is because the table I used to make all of the main threads was created on our first skin, which already had a white background and black text, so I didn't need to define those in the coding. Now that we've moved to a forum with a gray background, I'll need to go back and add in the coding for all of the tables to look correct.

// 2. Addition of the Currency System and Shop. As an incentive to bring in more members and to encourage posting, a currency system in the form of Crowns has been added, as well as a shop where you can purchase things for your characters that wouldn't otherwise be available! More info on currency and the shop here. As of now, the shop only has a few items in each category, but as time goes on, I intend to add more and will make an announcement whenever more items become available. You are more than welcome to post suggestions for shop items in the suggestions board!

// 3. Addition and Revision of Activity Rules. I realized a while ago that I never properly outlined any rules on activity requirements in the Rules thread, so I added some in. Then, recently, I decided I wanted them to be a little more lax, so I recently revised them. You can read them here, and if you have any questions, please feel free to message a Staff member.

// 4. Changing the Chat Box. Since CBox is often blocked for me, preventing me from accessing it during the week, I've decided I'm going to switch to the Titan Discord app. Not only will it allow me to access the chat any time I please, but it will also offer different channels for different topics, a discord server you can access separate from the forum, and the ability to store and keep all messages. Expect to see this change some time soon.

In other news, the two packs are very much still looking for leaders! (as well as other positions, but the leaders are a priority) If we get to June and both positions are still open, I will likely either make a third character to be one of the leaders or promote one of my existing characters to the position, likely Dolokov of Light Pack, but that will still leave one open! To become one of the leaders, you don't need to ask a Staff member first, you just have to sign up as the position. However, understand that you will be responsible for directing a large portion of the site plot/events that take place in your pack (with the aid of Staff, don't worry), making a minimum of two posts every three months, and be willing to consider some pack specific traditions/laws/ceremonies, which you will put into the pack's respective Google Doc (I will share it with you when your leader has been accepted).
