If I haven't gotten an egg from a heavenly line by the time sacred lines open up, could you move me to the sacred line list? I'd be happy with an egg from either.

@MinkishMinx Yeah, actually that does make a lot more sense, thank you! Also, I'm pretty sure we could name you Empress of this lineage project, you're the one putting in all the work after all XD

@MinkishMinx, I agree with @Ninjakittee - you're definitely Empress of this lineage project! ;) I'm excited to see about names, etc. that you'll come up with for the Emperor's brothers. The more there is added to the story, the happier I am <3 This first skirmish has been quite fun.

 

Also, @Ninjakittee I made an offer on your lil blue guy. :)

So I just did a little research and in the Qing Dynasty they had a Grand Council of Princes and High Officials, which consisted of imperial princes and advisers. Maybe the naming scheme for the other lines founding dragons could be “High Chancellor ____” or “Imperial Advisor _______” which could alas fall into the category of Grand Council to the Heavenly line:)

Members will be added to the wait list on a first come first served basis, so I won't be moving anyone automatically. I'll have new forms created once the Sacred Lines are up, so feel free to fill in one of those!

Ooh, that's nice. I'll gather up a few possible titles, but! I think eventually, I'll actually leave it to the Clan Leaders to decide what title they'd like their own lines to have. I think they'll find more ownership over their lines if they get to decide on the title and names.

The max points for the Skirmish is 12, after which any additional gifts will be scored according to the new normal system (2 points for hatchies and 1 point for eggs). You had 10 points previously, so this is your final hatchie that will be worth 4 points since you've now reached the cap of 12 points! I'll credit the overflow 2 points to your clan's score. Going to add the points now!

The lineage project is heavily inspired by all of your hard work @MinkishMinx, @pretty_thumb and I are very lucky to have been brought together because of you and this project. We will definitely let you know when it's done.

 

I love the research done so far in this project I too wish I had more time to research into it but my research time has been snagged for the project we are working on. So thanks for sharing with us @Mak0

I was trying out pairings for the Sacred Line, and both the Rose Clan and Jade Clan each have a couple ready. However, I somehow managed to have only one available male Blue Gemshard in my throng of blues and he decided to flat out refuse a mate. 

 

So... I'm hoping to trade for a male blue CB Gemshard with as low a time as possible. Here are some hatchies with 2 way teleports.

I'll be cross-posting these in the trade forums as well. Once I've traded for 2 male blues, I'll be offering the rest to those currently on the CB Gemshard Mate wait list. Whatever's left over will be up for gifting here!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_and_noble_ranks_of_the_Qing_dynasty#Eight_Privileges gives a pretty good description of the ranks of nobility in the Qing dynasty as well as describing the way titles downgraded thru the generations. I'm going to assume that mine started at second rank - cause the first rank would have become the new emperor :)

 

  • Gong (; gōng; "duke"; gung), often referred to as min gong (民公; mín gōng; "commoner duke") to differentiate from the imperial guo gong. Translated as "Duke" or "Non-imperial Duke".

This was the highest rank for reg people. Maybe have a Jade Gong, Sky Gong and a Rose Gong? It was associated with Imperial Consort clans so would fit the storyline.

Stubborn little blue good luck in finding a male

 

Thanks! I don't know why the Blues are like this. I have the most Blues out of the 3 colors, but everything is female except for the Emperor and that fussy (soon-to-be-ex) Prince.

Thanks! I was looking at that page too. I've shied away from using Chinese titles so far, because I thought the English counterparts would be less confusing for newbies but I think this can definitely be one of the titles considered by the Clan Leaders for their own lines. Some other official titles to consider would be Marquis and Count.

Was wondering how it would go if we used some of the traditional titles... I was sort of planning Duoluo junwang Lu Yu for my first one if it turns out a boy, and Heshuo gongzhu Lu Yu for a girl. Of course that assumes that they turn out green. It'd probably be better understood as Prince of the Second Rank or Heshuo Princess tho :) Probly shorten the Prince one to Prince Junwang. Would that work for you?

 

Kinda hoping they don't go for the english translations of the ranks, It would be nice to stay closer to the actual imperial titles IMHO.

| A Call to Arms -- Clan Leader Recruitment | 
 

The time has come for the Clans to pick their Leader. Someone strong, loyal and with the will and heart to lead. Will you be that person? 

 

** update: I've moved the contents of this post to one of the main posts at the front of the thread (currently sharing a post with the graphics section). I'll attempt to remember to update the list of candidates in this post too, but for a fully updated version, look here instead.)
 

 

images.png

 

 

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, I've decided to introduce Clan Leaders into the Imperial Harem Project. This was really an inevitable step because I've realized that as thrilled as I am that the project is growing, I'm starting to foresee that I will eventually need help in keeping everything updated.  

 

What is a Clan Leader? 

 

Basically, a Clan Leader will be a member of the lineage who will be a representative of their clan - and my wonderful, wonderful assistant. The Clan Leaders will help me in the running of this project and will also act as a rallying point for their clan. They'll hold a higher rank in their clans and will also have the opportunity to host a breeding pair and create their very own Honored Line (more about this later). 

 

Other than helping out with Clan Leader Duties, Clan Leaders will still be able to participate in the project just as anyone else would. They will be subject to the same rules / favor points system. They will not have moderation rights at this point in time, because Imperial Harem is still a new project and we're not established enough to warrant a project account yet. 

 

Clan leaders will also be my first point of contact whenever I'm thinking of adding anything new or changing anything in the project. I will start a PM group that will consist of me and the 3 Clan Leaders. So really, you'll just be like my Royal Advisors. :lol:

 

Rules for Applying

- Clan Leaders should already be familiar with the rules and Favor Systems so that they're able to help other members. 
 

- Clan Leaders should be ready to fulfill their duties for at least 3 months. 
 

- Clan Leaders can appoint an assistant to help them as long as they let me (MinkishMinx) know about it in advance.
 

- In the event that a Clan Leader is unable to continue or ceases to be active, a new Clan Leader will be appointed to fill his / her place. The old Clan Leader's honored line will considered to be retired and the new Clan Leader will begin a new line with a fresh pair of Dragons. All existing offspring from the old Honor Line will still be part of the project and future offspring will still contribute points. 

 

 

Application Form 

 

If you'd like to be a Clan Leader candidate, fill in the following form and post it in the thread: 

 

I'd like to nominate myself as a Clan Leader!

Spoiler

I'd like to nominate myself as a Clan Leader! | I'd like to nominate myself as a Clan Leader! I'd like to nominate myself as a Clan Leader!

* please use the color of your clan when posting the form

 

Name: 

Clan: 

 

I'd like to be Clan Leader because: [[ just a short reason will do ]] 

 

I understand all my duties and will abide by the Clan Leader rules: Yes / No

 

Applications are OPEN

Closing date: Jan 22. 

 

If there is only one applicant by Jan 22, that candidate will officially become the Clan Leader. 

If there are multiple applicants, a vote will be carried out via a public poll (names will be displayed) on Jan 23. The poll will run till Jan 26. Voting will be carried out within your own clan. In the event of a tie, another round of private voting will take place via PM to MinkishMinx. If there's still a tie, MinkishMinx will make the final call. 

 

The new Clan Leaders will be announced on Jan 29 (or maybe sooner if everything is confirmed before then). 

 

Current Applicants:

Clan Leader Duties

 

1. Record Favor Points earned by your clan 

 

- This will be the main duty, and possibly the most time consuming one. 

- I will still be keeping watch on the Favor Points announcements myself, but I'd appreciate it if Clan Leaders could also help me keep a record. 

- You need to post a weekly update for your own clan. Although no worries if you're busy. Just let me know in advance and we'll see if we can get someone else to fill in for you. You can afford to be a little later than a week as well, that's fine. 

- Updates are to be posted in the PM group that I will start for the Clan Leaders. 

 

- These are the forms that will be used:

- Also, if new members have any questions regarding the project, do try to help them to the best of your ability! 

 

3. Host your own Honored Line

This is subject to the results of the on-going poll, but given how it's progressing, I thought I'd might as well include it in the recruitment post since it seems that majority of our members want this to happen.

 

- Each Clan Leader will get to host an Honored Line that originates from their own pair of CB Gemshards. 

- The color of the Gemshards should be representative of their clan (ie Red for Rose, Blue for Sky, Green for Jade)

- I'll try my best to provide a pair of CB hatchies if the Clan Leader(s) need them. Alternatively, an existing pair of Gemshards can used, but they must be exclusive to this project from now on.  

 

- Each Clan leader will get to decide on the naming convention for their own lines. (eg Titles, any suffixes etc) 

- Some titles to consider are : Duke / Duchess ; Marquis / Marquise ; Count / Countess ; General / Lady 

- For the CB pair, a high prefix should also be applied to their name. Examples of this can be "Chief", "Royal", "Noble" etc. For eg, "High Duke", "Royal Marquis", "Chief General"

 

- Clan Leaders will need to manage their own breeding schedules. I'll update the wait list for you in the main wait list post, but you will need to plan the breeding, set up teleport links and PM the person on the wait list accordingly. 

 

 

4. Start your own Clan Leader Hall post 

 

- Each clan leader must copy and paste the following into a new post. 

- I'll be linking to your post at the Honored Line Wait List section and also the main post.

Most importantly, please remember that this is a fun project that was created to be a source of entertainment. At the end of the day, there can only be one Clan Leader (for now, this may change if there's a need for it), so if you apply and are ultimately not selected, please don't be hurt / offended! I appreciate every single member of this project, Clan Leader or not.

I originally wanted to use the English titles because this forum and Dragon Cave is primarily English speaking. Prince / Princess is more accessible and ensures that the naming convention will be easily followed. The project is already more on the complex side due to the scoring systems and I didn't want to complicate things further by implementing naming conventions in a language that most members would not understand. 


Also, there are different variations for the mandarin titles based on rank / dynasty etc. Eg for Princess alone, there could be "Gong Zhu (公主)", "Ge Ge (格格)", "Jun Zhu (郡主)" and maybe others as well. That could make things complicated, especially to people who don't understand mandarin at all. (I personally speak the language, but not very well). 

 

Most likely, I will allow the use of mandarin title equivalents (so you can replace "Princess" with "Gongzhu"), but I would not choose to impose this on the members. For the sake of universal clarity, Prince / Princess will remain the default titles for the Heavenly / Sacred Line offspring. 

 

As for the Honored lines hosted by the Clan leaders, I will leave the naming conventions to them to decide. (: 

ETA: 

 

I'll soon come up with a list of mandarin imperial titles that can be used as alternatives for Prince / Princess and include that under the Naming Convenstions section in the main post.

2 pages in one night its really heavy :D

Its much to read! Minkish, i hope you saw my hidden favor point post XD i'm not sure if i did it right (i only used the normal form for gifting but not the skirmish form) shall i repost it? 

 

As for the Honored Line i somehow like the thought of 'Generals' - to mentain the english titles which i personally prefer - cause every emperor needs a military consultant as well! 

 

And PrinzFeuer voted for no other lines, he likes the project the way it is and has no problem with waiting. Just for the records =)

 

I personally love to make a double arrow at some point out of all colors and therefore i need more than three lines to not let it be inbreeding :P and i love more naming patterns.

Yay so excited about this. Good luck everyone and thank you @MinkishMinx for all the hard work you've put into this.

 

 I'd like to nominate myself as a Clan Leader!

* please use the color of your clan when posting the form

 

Name: Rekha

Clan: Jade

 

I'd like to be Clan Leader because: I am absolutely in love with this project and I work from home so I am often times around and able to help out with things here. I find myself checking the forums throughout the day pretty consistently and I have had some experience running projects in the past. I'd like to consider myself friendly and thus able to be approached by others of the Clan when it comes to important things going on. I also love using Google Docs to organize things so updating documents to help with keeping track of favor and things like that isn't really a problem for me at all. I honestly don't know what all to put here, other than the fact that I would love to step up if that is what Jade Clan would like. Though if someone better steps up and I and the Jade Clan feel that they would be better then I will happily support them in all their efforts to help Jade Clan shine!

 

I understand all my duties and will abide by the Clan Leader rules: Yes

PS

NexusDivine is in favor of it staying the same way and says not to over complicate it, people should be patient enough there are three pairs where as some projects out there stem with only one pair.

 I'd like to nominate myself as a Clan Leader!

 

Name: Ninjakittee

Clan: Rose

 

I'd like to be Clan Leader because: I find myself loving this project way more than I expected, it's so well structured and I'd love to help out more with it. (That said, I'm absolutely more than happy just to participate, so if another Rose nominates themselves please consider this post mostly for backup. I should be available most times to help out all the same ^.^)

I'd like to nominate myself as a Clan Leader! 

 

Name: pretty_thumb

Clan: Sky Clan

 

I'd like to be Clan Leader because: This project is close to my heart and I would love to represent Sky Clan. I already seem to perform some of the duties of a leader (greeting new members, etc.) without really noticing, so why not do it officially to help out MinkishMinx? :) I really enjoy doing ~official type~ duties, so keeping track of points and posting forms would be fun for me! I also check the forums frequently throughout the day, so most people would have their points recorded and be greeted quite quickly. Fun-loving and fair, my studies in Communication/Public Relations allow me to delegate without showing bias to one side or the other. OCD is something I've dealt with my entire life, so I am naturally organized and also compulsive about checking and double-checking to make sure no typos (even down just to fonts) have been made. This would ensure that our points are constantly on-track (I actually already started recording Sky Clan's when I joined :lol:) and accurate. I consider myself to be quite friendly, and I'm always open to answering any questions or even just chatting if you want to PM me. Regardless of receiving the position or not, this lineage project is dear to me and will continue to be a huge part of my daily activities. ^_^
