WW World System
Hello, all you awesome wayfarers!
To Tribe or to herd? That is the question...
As some of you may know, WildWhispers used to run on the Tribal system. BUT it's a new era, and if you don't know already, our amazing members get to shape the WW world, including its system! It doesn't matter if you joined in 2014 or yesterday - you have a say in WW's future!
The two choices are:
- Keep the Tribal system
- Start a free-for-all herd system
TRIBAL SYSTEM
- Tribe of Racing Winds - Light
- Tribe of Eclipsing Orbits - Neutral
- Tribe of Gathering Shadows - Dark
These Tribes operate under one main Tribal leader, one beta leader, and may have mini herd leaders under them. Tribe names will stay as-is, but all three Tribal leader positions will up for claim in a site contest. After a certain time, certain positions will be open to challenges.
HERD SYSTEM A free-for all system where leaders will rule over their own herds. They will still choose their primary "herd type" (Dark, Neutral, or Light). There will be a limited number of boards open for claiming. Herd leaders would battle for land slots, and will be allowed to write their own land description for their herd - land descriptions may be rewritten with each new herd leader. After a certain time, herd leaders may be challenged by another, whether from outside the herd or from within.
** Poll will be locked on Monday, June 8th at midnight (PST), so make sure to get your vote in before then!
Any further thoughts or questions, feel free to post below!
Your fellow wayfaring writer, ~ Enchantress <3

The concept of the tribal system is very appealing to me and I'd love to see it in action. Since all this time has passed in this world and old legends have been forgotten, turned to dust in the minds of our equine friends (except for the notion of the Tribes), I do love the idea of the story and conflict that could stem from attempting to reclaim lost knowledge (if at all possible).
Perhaps there could still be 'herds' acting as sub-groups under one of the three tribes and restrictions could be imposed on 'unaligned' herds since they technically don't have the 'protection' of a tribe! I wouldn't be sure on the specifics on gettings them both to work at the same time but I think it could be done if you wanted to offer more freedom if, say, the board itself reached a particular size.
Looking forward to seeing what we decide! I voted for "Tribes"!

Thanks for casting your vote, Loyalty !
Yes, there may be mini/sub-herds under the main Tribes, depending on how the leaders decide to run their Tribal hierarchy. (For example, a Tribal leader may decide to have only a right-hand man/beta leader and no sub-herd.)
Under the Tribal system, it would not include any unaligned/rogue herds. Loners may band together of course, but as they are wanderers, they will not have their own official board for their herd. Under the herd system, where each leader fights for their own spot, your idea of varying herd protection could definitely play a part, with the 'official' herds having more protection over the 'unofficial'/rogue herds.
** Also, if at any point you reconsider and want to change your vote, you're allowed to!
