New Character Category?

[`Şŧaŧi№vå_]

So I've been thinking about this for awhile, but couldn't we have a category called "Rogues" For character who dont want to be apart of a kingdom/band and dont qualify to be "Unaligned" like those in the outlands? I thought of it like a month ago and now it just seems to be like a really cool idea. But there are some restrictions for rogues that I've come up with so far

1. Rogues CANNOT claim bands/lands/territory/kingdoms
2. Rogues CANNOT challenge for bands/lands/territory/kingdoms
3. Rogues can only LIVE in social lands.
Ex: Area - The watering hole
Rank - Rogue
3a. But may visit Imperium/Altus/Bands as they please, however are subject to any punishment if those lands do not want them there (including maiming, imprisonment, sent to the Outlands, etc) **Note death can only be by royals (or band leaders) and approved by Outlander's Coucil/Punisher. Kings/Queens/Leaders may suggest death to royals or outlanders.** This will be watched by staff closely should this happen
4. Rogues may have a small family herd in a social land but again, the land is there home and is to be shared with other rogues.
5. Rogues may intervene in open threads/closed threads(so long as other members agree) within social lands
6. Rogues cannot steal characters but can have others protect themselves(rogues) from being stolen.
7. Rogues may challenge for stolen characters so long as they have some form of relation or friendship with the stolen character. (aka more than 5 IC threads, unless both characters, rogue and stolen are yours.)
8. Rogues must have a minimum sample post of 400 words.
9. Rogue foals may be killed/maimed if they are posted without a parent/guardian. (staff's decision)
10. Character who belong to an allegiance, but do not live in a kingdom/land/band, are Nomads, NOT ROGUES. These are two different things as a rogue is by him/herself and possible family.
11. Nomad may live in their allegiance lands(no longer considered a nomad) or social but belong to that allegiance(considered a nomad.)
12. Nomads can challenge for lands/kingdoms/etc.
13. Rogues and Nomads CANNOT keep prisoners.

Idk I just thought it would be a cool idea to have and further elation, opinions, feedback, etc would be awesome. (please do not delete though, :P )

this doesn't make any sense, stat. that's why we have the band option, so people can form them for characters that don't fit the current bands and kingdoms. there isn't 'unaligned' anymore with the outlands. it's just the outlands, so far as i know. characters from the bands and kingdoms can still be loner characters, so far as i know they don't have to live in their set band all the time and kingdom characters have never been required to live in kingdom lands.

honestly, this just sounds like an attempt at starting another alliance which isn't going to happen, so far as i know. it's just all around a bad idea, imo. nomads are a thing that has always been around, so there's no point in even trying to separate the two because they're the same thing as rogues, really.

social lands aren't meant to be lived in by large groups of horses, there's kingdom lands and bands for a reason and if you can come up with an idea for a band that follows around this, i'd encourage you to do this but i don't see the staff going for this. i certainly wouldn't just because it makes no sense to allow it since we have bands for characters that don't fit the kingdoms and there are still two bands that can be made, more i'm sure if the ideas are good enough.

edit: here's my list to counter yours and i'm sorry for sounding like a bitch, i just seriously don't think this is a good idea/something that should be done

1 and 2. All characters have to fit into either one of the two kingdoms or the three bands unless the member is going to be making a new band. Period.
3. social lands are social
3a. this already happens with all characters
4. social lands are, again, social. Loner characters are loner and do not live anywhere.
5. open threads are open. All characters can come in on them. Closed threads are closed unless the rpers give permission otherwise. Period.
6. loners cannot be stolen or protect and the rogue idea is simply loners with another name
7. only leads can challenge for stolen characters. Period.
8. why???? There’s only a sample for foals or for your first character, there’s no need to sample for rogues when the idea is just loners under one of the kingdoms/bands
9. ALL FOALS HAVE THIS DANGER UNLESS THEY’RE UNDER IMMUNITY.
10-13. seriously, loners. Just loners. No rogues.

Ran basically covered everything I wanted to say here but I'm going to reiterate anyway.

Stat, the allegiances are set up the way they are for a reason. The character directory is set up the way it is for a reason. We don't have Loners because they are not needed. Bands cover most of the stuff you suggested there, as Ran pointed out. And like she said, even those allied with Kingdoms do not have to join a herd and never have, even when we had Light and Dark. And no, Band characters may roam as they please unless their Band's rules state otherwise. Characters, as far as I've seen since I've been on RLTW, have NEVER been required to stay within their lands upon joining a herd.

As far as the Outlands being Unaligned goes, they really aren't. We're classifying them as another Band, and as you know with Megrim, the Outlands herd characters are shown as Band characters in the Directory.

I get that you want to start something more "special" and more "exclusive" and more "rebellious". You can do that, but it involves creating a Band. Things like the Rejects springing up a home in a social land is not going to happen anymore. We created Bands so that groups who want to have a territory but not be affiliated with a Kingdom may do so.

Like Ran said, open threads are open to anyone. That's why they're called open. Closed threads are closed, period. If someone labels a thread as closed, you cannot join it unless they have requested you specifically. That rule is as old as time and I'm not sure why you wanted to work around it like that.

The staff have reasons for everything we do. We don't just throw things around and make stuff up because we can. This exact thing you're wanting, aside from being in social lands (which are free lands with no herds within them for a reason too) equates to creating a Band.

Flighty can go ahead and respond if she wants, but I do not want to see any further discussion on this aside from whatever she has to say.

So ya. Ran and bef covered everything I want to say to this. I think if you are missing something in your rpp life stat, that you should create a band. I think you would really enjoy that.
