Close Encounters - NEW! [o3.19.1o]

[omg it's COHEED?!]

I'm sure many of you have taken notice to the account under the name of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. This account brings practicality and excitement to the site by imposing on other characters threads and presenting them with situations and encounters. This could be anything from an avalanche partially burying a wolf or being attacked by a bear! Mating may result in no pups and birthing may result in all still-borns or one of your pups being killed. NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN TO YOUR CHARACTER FOR IT TO BE IN ANY REAL DANGER OR BEING KILLED! This is how it works:

When members of the site make a new thread with one of their characters, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS will randomly pop up and present them with a situation. Example:

You have just been hit by a CLOSE ENCOUNTER. You have tripped in a hole and sprained your ankle! While not life threatening it is extremely sore and will not heal for a few weeks.

OR

You have just been hit by a CLOSE ENCOUNTER. You have been attacked by a bear and though you have won the fight, you have bite marks on your neck and a three-claw gash on your left hind leg.

OR

You have just been hit by a CLOSE ENCOUNTER. An avalanche has occured and your leg has been partially buried in the snow. You had better escape before a bear or another wolf comes along who has no interest in helping.

OR

You have just been hit by a CLOSE ENCOUNTER. Of your three pups, one is not completely healthy and risks dieing while another has just been swiped up by an owl!

At this point the event has already occured, but you most role-play out the after-effects through out your thread and others if a sprain or wound has been inflicted on your character. If a pup is stolen you may role-play out your character trying to attack the thief, but the pup still needs to be taken away. Remember, NOTHING life threatening will EVER occur to ANY of your characters.
