October Cat / Thread of the Month

[cricketleap.]

Okay, so this is the first actual member of the month for Decoy Dreams! I'm very excited for this, and I hope you guys are, too. The rules will probably be changed around a bit, but here it goes.

For cat of the month:

1. Post two cats you are voting for below, just two.
2. No voting for yourself / your other cats.
3. Can be any cat from the site! But preferred to have an accepted bio.
4. No forum is needed, just state two cats below and why you picked them.
5. The top winner will become the cat of the month!

For thread of the month:

1. Just post one thread below and tell me why you picked that thread.
2. Can be any thread, but preferred an active one!
3. It is also preferred to pick a thread that you aren't in, but you can if you want to :3

Please vote for both cat of the month and thread!

[wildstar.]

Hawkstar: A very active, loyal member who RP's a lot. Hawkstar is a wonderful character, one of my personal favorites on the site.

Rainpaw: Another active member with another awesome apprentice! Rainpaw is one of the newer members, but she is already very active! I want to give this second place to her!

Since she deleted her account, I'm going to elect the next cat in line:

Deathpaw: A well-built, young cat who I can see a lot going in to! I love Deathpaw to pieces. Evening RP's really well, and I hope to RP with you a lot more in the future. Keep up the great work!

Thread: with these lives i give thee

[Hawkclaw]

For the two cats
Eagleclaw && Cricketleap.

As for member of the month, I vote

Evening.

For thread I vote the Moonpool trek lol.

Hmmm, Cat would be Crimsonstar, even if Navi hasn't been on much, I love that plot.

My second would be . . . Swiftpaw or Surfpaw [I'mcominingthemintoone!] Sorry, I can't choose, they come in for a close second. For one, I love Swiftpaw's personality and love how Silent portrays it erratically. Two, I love Surfpaw because of her intimidate responses, her rivalry with Death, and just her overall personality amuses me.

Thread . . . I want to choose my own thread XD, but I won't mainly because I don't really think that's fair, so I choose Moonpool Trek, mostly because of "Decoys, you twit!" I was on a sugar high when I read that, and I burst out laughing, I still laugh at it now though . . . love the word twit . . . if you don't mind my using it . . .

DEATHPAW: i've enjoyed watching this character develop and think that her (?) personality is very unique.

CRICKETLEAP: i probably would have chosen ripplepaw had she been active this week and replied to my thread but i will choose cricket instead considering that she is one of the few members i have interacted with on a personal basis.

THREAD: with these lives i give thee. this is one of the few threads (or starter, rather) that i have been able to read recently. i enjoyed the storyline presented and the writing was well done.

[• sparrowpaw •]

DEATHPAW: Her personality is so great and she is just generally an amazing character.

CRIMSONSTAR: Decoy leader it's a shame Navi can't have been on recently, but I'm still voting for this she-cat.

With these lives I give thee: it was very well-written and I liked it.

Cats~

1. HaWkStAr- Why, you ask? He is for one the newest leader, and two, I love him!! He has an excellent personality, and Peachie is falling for him. Of course he should be COTM!
2. CrIcKeTlEaP-Why, you ask? Do I even need explain? I think you all know why. xD

Thread~ Ugh...this is SO hard....I vote Take it all, because is just has a good plot and it has such emotional writing, even if we only did just start.

Cat of the Month:

Deathpaw
I love how antagonistic she can get. Although I'm not the type who falls in love with villains or the like, I think I might just make an exception for her.

Hawkclaw
Kudos for being the first cat to be made with an age above seven years. Aside from that, he reminded me of one of my most favorite cats in the book.

Thread of the Month:

With these lives I gave thee [x]
Being one of those threads with a very long post, it's surprisingly quite easy to read. It remained descriptive even if it used simple words, which are some of the qualities I look forward to when I read.

[crimsonstar]

I swear I'll become active again. xD

Cat of the Month:
Many characters have been made in my absence. I have a natural tendency to become a harsh critic when faced with needing to have an opinion at what I'm looking at, which makes choosing a deserving cat so hard. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of fair candidates but I see the flaws before the flare. After tearing apart biography after biography while pros and cons paraded in my head, I've finally (by the power Starclan, it's a miracle) gotten over my indecisive, narrow-minded critique to choose two cats I'll be voting for.

cedarstep-- An interesting and well thought-out character, with a unique balances of good and bad qualities that reflect the flawed human nature in reality. The biography was detailed, but short and sweet and to the point. Almost like a refreshing sip of cool spring water after trekking in a harsh desert climate. I'm anticipating role-playing with this person and their character, sensing many intriguing plots on the horizon. 9 out of 10 for this character, placing Cedarstep as my first pick.

deathkit-- A fascinating and cleverly written character. It presents the concept of troubled youth quite nicely, a feat that can be hard to really nail down. She's spicy, she's exciting, she's devious. ThunderClan will hardly be as thrilling without her, and although there is always room for improvement, Deathkit is a fine example of excelling role-play skill and experience. I would, however, like to see where Evening will go with her. Such a character must be handled with care, seeing as carelessness could lead the whole character to blow up in the role-player's face or go off with an exploding display of breath-taking fireworks. Deathkit has a lot of potential, I want to see very good (and by that I mean evil) things spill out of her character. Don't you disappoint me, Evening, I wanna see that spark you can always bring into a role-play. 8 out of 10, placing Deathkit as my second pick.

Member of the Month:
There are so many personalities and members on this site, I just can't seem to choose. However, I've hunted and pounced just on what I'm searching for, so again my vote goes to:

silent-- A kind and courteous member, with many wonderful ideas and just as equally interesting characters. I hope to role-play with her a lot in the future.

Thread of the Month:
Now you're just being cruel, Navigator can't handle all this choosing and reading. Have some mercy on the return of the confused, energy-drained moderator member. >.<

So, after skimming through threads, I... Oh, whatever. I'll give a short description after the link. HERE:

rage against the hills-- Detailed. Interesting. Filled with the depth of characters' personalities and the creativity of some of our fine roleplayers here at Decoy Dreams. Ta-da.

And there you have it. Coming to you live from Navigator's ego, this is me, signing off.

Yay. Hurrah. Whatever.
