Heyy!! <3 Welcome to Fantasy Knighthood!

Just a bit of housekeeping, we've got to figure out:
Cabin Relations
Color Scheme
Cabin Storyline, etc.

Pending Cabin Relations:

Allies:
Siblings - Fan-Fi

Neutrals:

Enemies:
Sci-Fi (pending…)

Excerpt from my leader app:
My main cabin idea is Fantasy Knighthood, where our kingdom has been overtaken by monsters, and the campers have been enlisted by Queen Este Dubyou See to join her army. (shush the name is a wip ;v As knights, campers will defeat monsters and rise in the ranks, as we reclaim our land.

Expanding upon that, I was thinking that the monsters have different needs to be defeated. So some could be x amount of dailies/weeklies, word wars, words, cabin activty, etc! And thoughts on Queen Este Dubyou Cee?

Using a profile will probably be easiest if forums go down. (@fiying_free)

The team consists of Eevee, Stingray, and Crim!

hi!
este dubyou see that's so iconic :0 i agree that maybe changing it to cee would be better because at first i read it as the word ‘see’ instead of part of her name and that was confusing lol
i love the storyline idea and the different monsters having different requirements to defeat them!

out of curiosity, who are you debating between for your other co?

also i think we should come up with a contingency plan as luna suggested - the forums being down in november and my lack of a plan for it kind of messed up horror's storyline and i don't want that to happen again >.<

in the past couple sessions, cabin forums have been closed/reported - this is because writing camps aren’t the intended use of the forums. we have contacted the st about this and they did say it was an okay use of forums - but this does make studios, project comments and profiles a safer location! if you are going to use a forum for planning this session, please make sure you are in the collaboration section of forums, stay on topic, and if you have a message asking people to turn away if they’re not part of your cabin, make sure it is polite.

also, the scratch team is currently doing maintenance on forums, so forum avaliability can be sporadic (as you've probably seen) - so you should have a contingency plan if/when forums do go down. in the event this happens for an extended period of time, the stand-in leader forum will be a project that the hosts will share with leaders (who will then share with cos, like the forum!) and organized for different sections with announcements, questions, and the like ^^

It's between Marble and Crim aghhhh-
They're both really cool and I would love to work with either of them! But, I'm not making myself make a quick decision.

I was debating between using a profile or forum, but I feel like forums are more organized. But a profile would be great as a backup. I probably have an old one that hasn't been touched that we could use xD

Okay okay, so I just extended an offer to Crim, but she probably won't be getting back with an answer soon because she's not active on Saturdays.

And for a backup profile: fiying_free

Zion (Sci-Fi) offered to be enemies with us. I let them know that I'll get back to them with an answer after we have our team set, but wanted to let you know.
Also, I'm not sure if you missed this post

I saw! And sounds good on the enemies thing

I was thinking about cabin colors - maybe fleshing out the storyline more would give us a better idea, but we could include silver as one of them since knights wear armor = silver?
AmazaEevee AmazaEevee loading
That sounds good! I was thinking of more of a neutral color scheme.
Also Crim accepted and I sent her all the links!! She should be coming in soon
Soki has also offered to be siblings with us.

Ok! When you say neutrals do you mean browns/grays, or muted colors? Either would be cool tho :O

Yay!!
Soki has also offered to be siblings with us.
YES absolutely!

A mix of both? I don't want it to be all browns/grays, so maybe silver or muted blue too? Overall, it makes more sense for a muted color palette to me.

Soki has also offered to be siblings with us.
YES absolutely!
I thought so xD
Hi guys! Enemies with sci-fi sounds good to me
Btw, yeah, I’m on today, but that’s definitely not usual as I said in my app, just an exception ^^ Glad it landed on today though !!
Silver sounds super cool and then maybe a primary color to accompany it? maybe red or green or blue? (yes green’s not a primary color but i think it’d look better with silver than yellow XD) Maybe a dull green to match with your vision, Eevee? Plus that just gives army to me.
Totally onboard to be siblings with fanfi

( sorry i’m on my phone which is why im not properly quoting posts— )

Green as a nod to army sounds cool :0 I can try to come up with some color combos, unless one of you want to!
Zion's waiting for their cos before confirming, but we're set tup be siblings with Fan-fi.

Okay I'll get to work on some.

On some smaller decisions, cabin symbols :>
✤ ✥ ✠ ♘ ♞
Crosses bc of the historical context of knighthood and chess knights obviously
I like the 2nd and 5th best, but thoughts?
Whirlygig Whirlygig loading
I like second and fifth too! Maybe we do something like this to divide sections:
─── ✥ ───

Also, what about some sort of arrow for when we’re listing items in the description?

this is so unhelpful but those are my favorites too !! maybe if i had to pick i’d go with the fifth option tho because it’s clearer? idk, does that make sense?

Yeah, that makes sense! So 5th for the main cabin symbol and second as a secondary for cabin projects and stuff?

And arrows for listing sounds like a good idea :0
➸ ➵ ➢

I think the second one looks best with the other symbols: ➵ ✥ ♞
AmazaEevee AmazaEevee loading
Color Schemes!!

Green based:


Tinted green:


Same thing, but brighterwhite/silver:


Blue based:


Tinted blue:


I think I like the second and fourth the best, but all of them are pretty similar ahaha.
I think that the white color in the second one could be a bit brighter, but not as much as the third?
Whirlygig Whirlygig loading
(Not quoting bc I’m on mobile)

I like the second one but with the white color from the first one instead if that makes sense; the fourth one looks good too so I think itd be down to whether we want the pallet to be more blue or more green lol

i agree that the second arrow looks good !
i like the second one as well but i think i prefer the first brown (#451COA) tho i guess thats basically just the first one lol … they’re super similar so i don't have a huge preference.

Okay! I’ll mix and match the colors this afternoon when I can get on the computer again.
I’ll probably make another to-do list, so we can figure some more stuff out.

Just a heads up that I won’t be as active tomorrow as I usually am on Mondays, bc the snow changed my homeschool co-op schedule, so I have two community days instead of one this week to make up for it TvT
Edit: snow’s still bad for some people, so it got cancelled for tomorrow!!

A to-do list would be great

Also, I wanted to say that since I’m at school from 8-3 each day I obviously won’t be active then (other than checking messages at lunch) so if something pressing comes up during that time and you two are active, feel free to make decisions without me lol
AmazaEevee AmazaEevee loading
Okay, some more color schemes!

#1 with switched blue (switching both the white and brown)


#2 with switched brown


#2 with switched white


I think I like #1 the best? But these are all /really/ similar, so-

Edit: Moonlit (Myth) offered to be allies.
Btw, I don’t have very many time constraints other than one in person class on monday and wednesday (i’m taking online classes mostly). )
I like number 2 just *slightly* more, but honestly 1 and 2 are so similar lol
Yes, I’m excited to develop some other things so a longer to-do list whenever it’s convenient would be lovely, Eevee ^^ /gen /nm

and allies with myth sounds great!

I have a few time constraints from bowling (Saturdays), piano (all over the place?? um but for an hour in the evenings usually), Theater (Mondays starting in a few weeks), homeschool co-op (6:30-3:30 on Fridays-), and AAPI group every other Saturday from 6-9. Geez that looks like a lot ^^;;
My activity may or may not drop from February 11-14 because I'm going on a trip to see some family. I'll be at my aunt's place, so I'll have better wi-fi and I'll have computer access, but I'll probably be on my phone.

They are similar lol. Either works for me tbh-

And I'm working on the to-do list!! I have a few more things I have to add, after I help my parents out with groceries, and then I'll send it.

And I’ll also be busy on the 14th sadly. And likely the 26th.
The first palette is good; they’re super similar.
Thanks Eevee !!

To Do


Cabin Atmosphere Blurb + Cabin Symbol sent to Moonlit by the 25th.
(must dos are underlined)

Cabin Graphics
Color Scheme (sent in the mbc suggestion forum), Cabin Thumbnail(s?), Cabin Guide, Pfps, Aesthetic, Forum Signatures, Banner
We're all graphic artists, so we could probably split it up. We don't have to do everything, but these are the options. If there's anything you want to go for and try, let me know! Also, does everyone have Canva? We could work on a cabin guide there, or partly here and there?
And for pfp, we could do vector outlines, humans, symbols, etc?
I'd be up for doing the aesthetic and forum signatures!

Cabin Storyline
Atmosphere Blurb, Backstory
We need the Atmosphere Blurb by the 25th, Thursday.

  • A community-focused cabin aiming for self improvement and forming long lasting bonds. An accountable space encouraging stepping outside of your comfort zone and celebrating personal victories. (Eevee)
  • An easygoing atmosphere where friendly competition exists but is not overemphasized, but activities are available to keep the cabin active. Focus on mental health and growing writing skills. (Stringray)
  • I’d focus on hospitality and growth. I want to create a welcoming cabin atmosphere where campers can discuss shared interests. I want my campers to learn through SWC—however they learn best. (Crim)
A combination of what we all put in our apps, with a snippet of what to expect storyline-wise.

We need some sort of idea on the backstory, so that we can make intro story (under studio down below). I don't think that it'll be /too/ plot heavy, so no big need for large chunks of story progression, if that makes sense? But we do need some sort of idea ahaha.

Cabin Activities
Monsters, Bonding Activities, Rankings?
For monsters, we need monsters, requirements, and maybe time limits? I'm worried that the time limits will make it feel too strict and could make things go downhill depending on how active the campers are, but we could also test it out and see what works. I thought that a rough limit of 3-5 days would be good and make the requirements fit that as needed. Requirements will range from words, main cabin activities, camper activities, etc. And for monsters, I thought it would be fun to have some well known monsters like cyclops, dragons, hydras, etc, but also some SWC related ones like flaming goats?

Bonding activities could be weekly and perhaps some partnering? I also want some bonding activities for us, outside of just SWC <3

Camper ranks are fun, but I have no idea what to name them :> I was thinking that we could base it off of the percentage that they've completed for their word goal, but also edit, depending on how quickly they're reaching it. (so, if a new camper sets their goal as 5k, but reaches that within the first week, we won't give them their percentage ranking, the highest one, but lower it based on new goal/average?) It's something extra, but not needed.

Cabin Relationships
Allies, Neutrals, Enemies
Sibling Duo with Fan-Fi is confirmed, as well as allies with Myth, and we're waiting on one Sci-Fi co before confirming enemies.
And if you have any cabins you want to be enemies/allies with, lmk

Studio
Intro Story, Credits, Links, etc WC studios?, Sibling Hangout?
Again, back to the backstory and storyline, figure out a bit more than just a overthrown kingdom and Queen Este Dubyou Cee.
The other necessary stuff is pretty standard. And should we do WC studios? I think that everyone having their own and updating it with their own spreadsheet/system is the most efficient, but then it also limits which campers you're regularly talking with? I've been in cabins like this that led me to be more familiar with one specific leader, but also ones, where I was still familiar with all of them, so-

Scheduling
Available Times, Check-Ins
We've already kind of gone over our available times and I'll try to compile something, so we can see everything better.
Check-ins to make sure that everyone is on the same page, as well as updates and stuff, would be nice. Saturday won't work for Crim, and Fridays are pretty busy for me, so Sundays or Mondays? I'd rather not have it midweek :>


Okay, I think that's everything? At least the big things. Let me know if there's anything I forgot- And everything that has been confirmed so far (symbols, colors, relations, etc.) is on the first post of the forum!
Tysm Eevee !!
Gonna reply to each section when I have time so sorry if this is a little sporadic~~

I have a Canva Doing a cabin guide over there sounds good to me!

Yep, I’d love if you could do those two things! since i have 0 thoughts about them and have never made them before :sob: XD

Something that could be cool for the pfps is a coat of arms? Outlines or silhouettes would be cool too tho. Maybe helmets? I’d be down to do those if Stingray’s ok with it. The coat of arms is probably my favorite of the ideas though.

If I do the pfps that’d leave the thumbnails for Singray, but we could also swap.

I like this idea! and having an evil queen is very fantasy of us so I’m here for it. it could be cool if the monsters reflected different things about her or are very connected in some way (i’m thinking horcruxes or smth) ?? just a random thought because i realized i don’t think i gave my input on the storyline at all.

A coat of arms would be so cool :00 It's so Knighthood-y (xD) and I also feel like doing a bunch of humans is a bit much for pfps :sob: It looks great, but it also takes up a lot of time. It would be easier for customization/personalization than helmets too imo.
I don't think we have everything we need to set up/start on the cabin guide yet, but good to know that you have Canva! I believe Stingray does too, so we'll plan to have that done there.

Honestly, the queen was supposed to enlist the knights and be nice /nm but her being evil would make more sense if we wanted SWC related monsters ahaha- I think either way, it would work! And having them all connected in some way sounds cool too. Maybe related themes or smth? (Like for example, if we're going full on swc, then mangoes, and fire/flames, etc etc.)
OMG i completely misread the thing ????? bruh i’m sorry XD but yes an evil queen is cool too. we could also have an evil and a good queen haha
the evil queen was definitely giving me sleeping beauty, which we could either lean into or just. avoid. (ik i’m so good at stating the obvious haha)
mango monsters is so fun. i love that!

no no no that's fine <33 it happens! /gen
evil queen opens up more possibilities to rebellions and stuff :0 plus, i had no idea why we're getting attacked, but an evil queen gives a reason xD

I don't want to do pfps - I don't have the skills for a pfp creator and I'm worried I wouldn't be able to make pfps for a bunch of campers if that makes sense ^^" Crim I think your idea is awesome! I haven't seen anyone do a coat of arms before so that'd be really cool and it def fits with our theme.
I think we should all work on the cabin guide together!

hmm i do love the idea of an evil queen (dare i say tyrant? :eyes but i think the knights would be fighting against her rather than for her lol,, maybe the good ruler could also be a swc reference (prince smarlls ibexius xvi or smth like that hehe)
we could find a way to incorporate the ideas of procrastination and writers block and all that fun stuff into different monsters :0

  • Crim - Pfp
  • Stingray - Thumbnails + Banners
  • Everyone - Cabin Guide

yes ahaha <3 i think we have three options here: go with the original, with a good queen and some other evil force, evil queen and we're rebelling?, or evil queen and come up with some other reference for a good ruler <3 (or vice versa? i guess that's the same as the first then ahaha)
i love the idea of procrastination and writers block as monsters- if we could find a way to personify writers' struggles, then i think that we could make that as the evil being and keep the queen good, so the swcers be the victims of that :0

Yes! and maybe each thing to defeat them could be targeted against that specific struggle, like the burnout monster is defeated by 5 campers taking a 30 minute break to relax and stuff like that?

Apologies, I didn’t get notified about new posts until just now akdhjsf-
I love the idea for the burnout monster!! It’s a great balance to the ‘you need to write to succeed in SWC’ feeling.

  • A community-focused cabin aiming for self improvement and forming long lasting bonds. An accountable space encouraging stepping outside of your comfort zone and celebrating personal victories. (Eevee)
  • An easygoing atmosphere where friendly competition exists but is not overemphasized, but activities are available to keep the cabin active. Focus on mental health and growing writing skills. (Stringray)
  • I’d focus on hospitality and growth. I want to create a welcoming cabin atmosphere where campers can discuss shared interests. I want my campers to learn through SWC—however they learn best. (Crim)
A combination of what we all put in our apps, with a snippet of what to expect storyline-wise.

We need some sort of idea on the backstory, so that we can make intro story (under studio down below). I don't think that it'll be /too/ plot heavy, so no big need for large chunks of story progression, if that makes sense? But we do need some sort of idea ahaha.
I want to make sure that we're also thinking about the backstory and a bit of getting the atmosphere blurb done within the next few days because they are due in 3 days. I think that the common themes in all of our blurbs were: mental health, growth/learning, and interaction. Combined with what we've been discussing with the monsters and storyline, I think it'll be something along the lines of “Fantasy is a community-focused cabin with activities to encourage campers to overcome writing struggles, while growing writing skills.” It's rough, but I think it gets the general message across and it gives us something to work with.

I was trying to think of the setting and I think going with Stingray's idea about a forest could work! I think personifying writers struggles would leave the queen to be good. I can’t think of a silly punny name for the evil one, so we could toss some ideas around for that lol. We could just be in a secluded forest kingdom, perfect writing ambiance, under the rule of the queen, until all of our writing fears come true and start attacking us! I think it’ll be something like Queen Este Dubyou Cee gives us the power to turn our words/actions into this weapon as we overcome these struggles as writers.

Edit: also, enemies with sci-fi has been confirmed!
