Ichika - Maintenance

This is our wonderful Maintenance thread where everything from statistics to current gossip is added.



It's a Party!

To follow

Kiara is going to have puppies soon and the pack is hosting a party in her honor! It was a little late getting started, but is none the less underway. Look for the start of the party early next week, and if you are participating in the hunt, dont forget to post at your earliest convenience! Let's make this an event to remember!

Pack Plots

To follow

Salsola has raided Ichika! They have taken three of our Llamas! But we have one of their members... Loose Lips Sink Ships

Despite this bit of bad luck, there is a reason to rejoice with Kiara's pregnancy! Look forward to a party!

Gossip

Only the top talked about threads/topics will be moved to the website for permanent glory! But all nominated threads will be added here none the less. Have you noticed something interesting going on in the pack? Perhaps a thread that deserves some lovin'? Let us know!

Did you hear it? Those whispers in the air. News is circling that there may be even more pattering of tiny feet coming this way. Rumor has it that Kiara may be carrying a stomachload of new Ichikans for people to play with. -March 6th

Leadership has changed over into the hands of X'yrin Exultare. Several members are struggling with the change, leaving X'yrin trying to prove herself.. -March 6th

Goodness! Love is in the air this season! Word is that Fatin and Asad have at last confessed their love and are to be a mated pair! And what does X'y have to say about this? Another party, of course! -March 23rd

Tragedy struck the new family as the Great Goddess reclaimed on of Kiara's infant puppies. The youngest daughter died in the middle of the night after receiving her name. The other two remain alive and well. Every day they grow stronger and have even begun to walk. -April 9th

Pack News | Updates: Jan. 29th

Hello everyone!

Winter Festival still on the Go!:

I hope everyone is enjoying the Winter Festival and all the activities that come with it. I encourage everyone to participate in at least three activities (not only for the points) but to get you acquainted with a couple of the other characters that are running around on the site. Who knows! You might get a juicy plot out of it Also this is a prime opportunity for your characters to trade for various items as well as mingle and learn the ways of other packs. Be sure to take this opportunity before it passes you by!

Residential Updates:

As we know everyone needs a place to live, but unfortunately with all our members we have no idea where everyone is! The Pack Map will be updated later in February incorporating all the members and their families and their current locations. If you have not updated your residence, please reply with the form filled out below along with a brief description of the housing. The detailed description will be added to our illustrious website in a section all its own while a condensed version will be added to the Pack Directory. Note: If your character is neighbor to another, be sure to collaborate with your neighbor to determine how close or how far you are. For Apartment| Housing residence, be sure to add your Apt.|House number.

• Residential Form:
• Occupant(s):
• Area | Complex:
• House | Apt. #:
• Closest Neighbor:
• Description:

NPC Animals:

With the Festival underway, livestock trades are bound to happen, so let's get an accurate head count. If you have an animal (Horse, Bird, Sheep, even Turtle) be sure to reply to this thread with the form below so they can be added and noted appropriately on our Animal NPC Directory. Who knows, maybe your neighbor has the stud you're looking for and doesn't even know it XD !

• NPC Animal Form:
• Name | Owner:
• Species | Breed:
• Age:
• Free-Roaming or Stabled? (If free-roaming, area most likely to be seen?):
• Description:

Dead/ Dying Topics:

A lot of us have lost muse on some of our threads, or just don't remember not replying to them. This is a friendly reminder to get with your thread participants and either close out or have your dead/ dying threads removed. A thread sweep will occur at the end of February to clean up the older thread. So look through and see what you want to keep or get rid of. Also, if you decide to close out your threads, not only will you receive points for resurrecting a dead topic, but you will still be able to get your initial points for the thread (if you're playing the Pack Game, that is )

Festival Fun!!! :

Alright everyone, let's see what you've traded/ bought at the Festival! Don't be shy! This is the time to brag and wave your wares in everyone's faces!!!

And as always, got a thread that needs lovin'? Got news to share on our gossip thread? Be sure to add it here! ...Or I might just stalk your threads and blast your business to the WORLD!!

Pack Song and Color Contest: Feb. 9th

Ichika is undergoing a little face lift and it is now in the hands of you, the members, to decide its new face! Each member is welcome to make up to 3 suggestions for a new pack song, and 2 color suggestion pairs. If you dont have a pair, you may pick one color of your choosing coupled with one of the existing pack colors. The top 5 nominations will be added to the poll and you the members get to vote!

All nominations will be tally and reviewed on Feb. 16th and an anonymous poll will follow soon after. And keep in mind, if someone has suggested a song or color that you like, feel free to piggy-back off them and show that you love it.

And don't worry, you'll get something for your troubles. Each nomination will receive +20 pts added to their pack game count and if your color or song is picked as the new pack standard...well, let's say there is something special for you

Updates: Feb. 21st.

Hello everyone!

It's been a shaky couple of weeks but InH will prevail! Just a light reminder, if you haven't voted for the new pack song/color, please do so before the 23rd! Remember, the winner gets a nice surprise for their winning nomination!

Monthly Prompts:

For the month of March, InH will be taking YOUR suggestions for a pack bonding activity That's right! If you have an idea or there is a pack building exercise you'd like to see made into next month's prompt please suggest anonymously to X'yrin's account and who knows, it might be selected! And if it is everyone will know about it!

Change a'Comin:

After deliberation with you the members as well as with experienced leaders new and seasoned, the following changes will occur. But please keep in mind that your CURRENT character is by no means affected and will be able to continue their interaction within InH with no hindrance;

The OOC joining information is no longer required when making/replying to a joining thread made by a potential member

To coincide with the defense training, all members are required ONE thread pertaining to that exercise once every TWO months. (Record will be kept on the Pack Portal)

All Specialized tasks will be converted to Co-Ranks. The current members that have a specialized task will carry them in this transition, but the ONE thread pertaining to their Co-Rank every TWO months is still required. (Specified by current pack rules set during its initial founding)

New members achieving a Co-Rank or current members that would like to change their Co-Rank are required to complete TWO threads pertaining to that desired Co-Rank and will receive acknowledgement when achieved.

See? Painless. A new roster will be set up for review later this week to make everyone feel comfortable with this change. If there is an issue with its structure of your feel your character is not placed properly, it is encouraged that you address it directly so it can be changed and you are titled properly. The roster conversion will not take place until February 28th. And as I've said, your character status will not change.

Empty Members:

We know we have more than THREE Current members x.x where is everyone? Don't forget to add yourself to the Current Member listing. It's a short form that's utterly painless and you'll be recognized as a current, active member. This is encouraged if you have NPC's! Especially if you have one you'd like to get adopted.

That's all for this update! Thank you everyone for remaining strong and active during our transition. Expect updates next week regarding... well, you'll see!

Best Regards!

Updates: March 12th.

Hello everyone!

We are approaching the middle of the month in InH and you know what that means? The Spring Equinox is coming! But apparently there is going to be quite the celebration going on before hand!

Puppy Shower!

Kiara has been blessed with wonderful bundles of joy and the whole of Ichika, with guests from Anathema and New Dawn will be coming to celebrate! There is a pack hunt to take place before hand to make sure everyone is will fed! So if the hunt is going on and you would still like your character to participate, do hesitate to reply to the Party Thread!

Raid, Raid. Go away!

Part 2 of the Raid is soon to be underway but we need Ichikan presence in Part 1 first! Those that would like to 'discover' the raid are more than welcome to but let's not forget! The captive must be taken...alive!

Just as a reminder there is no thread prompt for this month. However! You can still receive your points by creating and closing one thread in Ichika for this month! Those of you that have already done this, dont forget to claim your points!

Gossip? Does anyone know of anything else going on in the pack? Do remember that Gossip topics will be considered common pack knowledge! So what do you want your brethren to know?

Have a great week everyone! (And good luck on finals for those who have them now! )

Updates: March 23rd.

Hello everyone!

What's new in Ichika?

Part 2 [The Meeting] of the SL/INH tension is underway. Those of you that are participating, dont hesitate to post at your earliest convenience or stalk the thread and find out what's going on! Followed swiftly after will be the Exchange of prisoners...and it looks like an unexpected turn! Look for the next installment to find out what that is!

Puppies are coming!

Kiara is ready to burst with new life and needs you all to give your positive support and encouragement. Despite the trials that the pack has overcome, there is nothing stronger than the bond of packmates and family to see us through. Please give your offerings in bedding, garments, or food to help the young mother and her little ones when they are born. (And dont worry, there will be a prompt specifically for these offerings )

All Ears!

Do you have an idea for a contest or pack prompt for April? Then we want to hear about it! From group threads to prompts, we are all ears for your suggestions. Simply add your idea to this thread for all to see and it just might be put into action! ( Lore topics ; ie, story-telling, origin stories, are always welcomed!)

Open Characters!

If you have a character in need of adoption (with listing and everything) add it to this thread and it will be put up for you in its own little section on the portal. To expedite the process, please have your character's icon already colored and linked to the Open Character listing. We have a love of potential characters that need a good home!

Thread Clean-Up

If you have threads in INH you want to have archived, please reply to this thread and it will be made so! Let's blow the dust off some of these threads for April otherwise they will be gone before the end of the month!

Gossip? Does anyone know of anything else going on in the pack? Do remember that Gossip topics will be considered common pack knowledge! So what do you want your brethren to know?

That's all for now!
