Here at UW, members who play cats in special roles have a number of responsibilities they are expected to perform. If you are not up to doing these things, please don't apply for one of these positions.

Boss Player Responsibilities

1. Be incredibly active, especially with your Boss character.

2. Keep track of kits in your Gang that are soon to be apprentices and make sure mentors are lined up for them. This may require you to contact multiple people to see if they have a cat willing to mentor an apprentice. Hold apprentice ceremonies.

3. Keep track of the apprentices in your Gang and make sure they are completing their needed training threads in order to become a warrior on time. If an apprentice's mentor is inactive, reassign them to a new mentor as soon as possible (either IC or OOC). Hold warrior ceremonies.

4. Look over bios of cats made for your Gang, when asked on occasion by a member of the staff, and either approve or deny specific details that the staff have called into question. As Boss, you have ultimate say of what goes on in your Gang, and if something comes up in a history that doesn't seem to fit with how you run your Gang, you may be asked to take a look at it.

5. Lead your Gang to Trade Meetings. You may delegate this duty to your Underboss if you know you won't be able to do so yourself at any specific point in time, but you should be doing it the majority of the time. None of your Gang members may post at a Trade Meeting until either you or your Underboss have posted leading them there. You must also choose which cats are allowed to attend Trade Meetings and which are to be left back in camp. You may also choose NOT to have your Gang attend a Trade Meeting for any reason, as attending Trade Meetings is certainly not required.

6. Accept or deny newcomers to your Gang. It is entirely up to the Boss whether outsiders are allowed to join their Gangs or not. If your character is staunchly against outsiders joining, then they absolutely do not have to allow it under any circumstances.

7. Work with other Boss players on plots involving your Gang and theirs, keep staff updated on any political status changes between your Gang and any other.

8. Hold auditions for open positions in your Gang when applicable. *Renegade Bosses will never have to do this because of how high ranks are chosen in the Renegades.

9. Be in at least one thread a season with your Underboss. Each of you must have at least 3 posts in the thread for it to count. This is to promote the relationship that should exist between these two ranks and is required for you to keep your position. If your Underboss is inactive other arrangements can be made if you speak with Zen.

Underboss Player Responsibilities

1. Be incredibly active, especially with your Underboss character.

2. Help keep an eye on apprentices in your Gang to make sure they are getting the threads they need to become warriors. The more people watching apprentice progress, the better. Inform the Boss's player if you have noticed an apprentice's mentor becoming inactive. If nothing is done about this, please inform a staff member.

3. Lead your Gang to Trade Meetings in the Boss's place when necessary.

4. Be prepared to step in as Boss at any time if your Boss's player goes inactive.

5. Be in at least one thread a season with your Boss. Each of you must have at least 3 posts in the thread for it to count. This is to promote the relationship that should exist between these two ranks and is required for you to keep your position. If your Boss is inactive other arrangements can be made if you speak with Zen.

Healer Player Responsibilities

1. Be incredibly active, especially with your Healer character.

2. Hold auditions for an apprentice if both Healers are over 40 moons old, in conjunction with your fellow Healer, and come to an agreement with them about who to choose for the position. If the two of you are having trouble agreeing, the staff will step in.

3. Be available to post in any healing threads that require your attention. Only one Healer needs to post in a healing thread unless there are multiple wounded/sick cats. This is your MOST important duty, as characters can and will die without receiving IC treatment (unless the miraculous recovery item is purchased from the shop).

4. Complete at least one herb gathering thread a season with your fellow Healer to keep up your stores. If you do not, an event will be rolled and your Gang may suffer from an herb shortage. You must each have at least 3 posts in your herb gathering thread for it to count and is required for you to keep your position. If your other Gang Healer is inactive you may do an herb gathering thread with another character instead.

Scavenger Boss Challenge Rules

While in character, the only real rule about Challenges is that they cannot happen during winter. OOC there are further rules that must be adhered to.

1. You must have at least 100 posts and have been a member for at least 3 months before you can make a Challenge.

2. You must not currently play a Boss or Underboss character.

3. You must have played the character issuing the Challenge for at least one IC season.

4. The character must have interacted with, planned, and/or gotten the support of at least 3 other PC Scavengers, played by 3 different members, in 3 separate threads, before they issue the Challenge. The character must have at least 3 posts in each thread for them to count. If your character is found out by the current Boss before they can accomplish this, they will be killed or exiled at the current Boss's discretion.
If your character has gotten the support of 3-4 different PC characters played by different people before issuing the Challenge or being discovered, the supporters of the current Boss and the Challenger will be assumed to be close to equal, which means the Boss and Challenger will fight to the death.
If your character has gotten the support of at least 5 different PC characters played by different people before issuing the Challenge or being discovered, they will be assumed to have the majority support of the Gang, ensuring their victory.

5. Your character's plans can be discovered if:
Your character discusses them in an OPEN thread and someone posts with a character overhearing, and then RPs with the Boss to report it.
Your character discusses them with one of the Boss's Counselors. It will be automatically assumed they reported to the Boss, without the need for a thread, so the Boss will immediately become aware of your character's plans. *To prevent cheating, the Boss's player must have sent a PM to the Urban Warriors account, naming a character as Counselor, BEFORE the start of a thread about gaining Challenge supporters, or they will not become immediately aware of the plans and it must be reported in RP instead.
Your character discusses them with another character that decides to RP with the Boss to report it rather than support them.

6. The Boss cannot be Challenged unless they have held the position for at least 2 FULL IC seasons.

Advisor Rules

1. A player will be informed through PM by the Boss's player if their character has been chosen as one of the Boss's Advisors. You of course can choose to accept the position or not. Should you accept, the Boss's player must also PM the Urban Warriors account the information, to ensure there are only ever 3 Advisors at a time. When PMing the Urban Warriors account, use the title "YourBoss'sName's Advisor ##", numbering them 1-3. Send a link to the bio of each Advisor, and send each in a separate PM.

2. There is no limit to the number of Advisors a single person plays. One person could potentially play all of them. However, the Boss's player and the Underboss's player are NOT allowed to play an Advisor.

3. Advisors hold their position as long as the Boss that made them one remains in power, unless they reveal their position as an Advisor. If an Advisor's player reveals to anyone that their character is an Advisor (even if they do not name the specific character), the Boss's player is allowed to replace them. If you are replacing an Advisor, the title of the PM sent to the Urban Warriors account should be "YourBoss'sName's Advisor ## Replacement".

Renegade Casting of Stones Rules

1. Whenever a leadership position in the Renegades becomes vacant (from the previous rank holder's death, retirement, or removal) a Casting of Stones will occur at the next Renegade meeting to replace them.

2. At the meeting, the Boss (or Underboss, should the Boss be the one being voted for) will call for every cat to choose a stone. They will then ask any cat who is qualified and willing to step forward and present themselves for the position.

3. The only people who are allowed to post at this point are those who have cats that want the position. The thread will be open to posting for these people ONLY for 1 full week. You MAY put forward a cat who wants the position, but cannot have it because you already play a leader character, they just won't be able to be voted for by PC characters (I'll throw a couple NPC votes at them when it comes to voting).

4. After the week for the nominees to post is up, an OOC thread will be started by a staff member where everyone with a cat of voting age in the Renegades can post each of their cats' votes. Everyone is free to make RP posts where their cats vote by placing their stone in front of their chosen cat, but it isn't required. The voting thread will remain open for 1 week, after which point it will be closed and the votes tallied. In the event of a tie, a staff member will roll a die and cast an NPC vote to decide the winner.

5. After the vote is tallied, the Boss (or Underboss) will announce the winner and roleplay will continue.

Renegade Vote of Defiance Rules

1. In and out of character, a Vote of Defiance cannot be called until a Councilor has held their position for 1 full IC season, and until a Boss and Underboss have held their position for 2 full IC seasons.

2. In and out of character, a cat in power cannot have a Vote of Defiance called for them more than once per season, so if a vote is called in spring and they retain their position, another vote cannot be called until summer.

3. To call a Vote, you must post your cat announcing a legitimate concern or complaint against a cat in power at one of the Renegades' half Moon meetings and calling for a Vote of Defiance. The Boss (or Underboss, should the complaint be against the Boss) will then oversee the voting, designating which side of camp stands for what vote and refraining from voting themselves, remaining a neutral party in the matter.

OOC, in order to call a Vote, you must first PM Zen to say you would like to call one and giving a legitimate reason why (the reason can be either IC or OOC*, but you must still give a reason IC when you make the post, if your request is approved). If your request is approved, an OOC announcement will be made, asking for eligible candidates to post to fulfill the position. This announcement will remain open for 1 week, after which it will be closed. If no one posts an eligible character, the Vote cannot be called. If at least one eligible character is posted, you will be given permission to call a Vote at the next half moon meeting.
*The only real OOC reason for calling a Vote that will be approved is that the current Boss or Underboss is not very active/not fulfilling their duties, but there may be other special circumstances that could be acceptable.

4. After a vote is called IC, an OOC thread will be posted by a staff member where everyone with a cat of voting age in the Renegades can post each of their cats' votes. Everyone is free to make RP posts where their cats vote, but it isn't required as it would be a whole lot of people simply posting about their cats moving to one end of the camp or the other. The voting thread will remain open for 1 week, after which point it will be closed and the votes tallied. In the event of a tie, the incumbent cat retains their position.

5. If the incumbent cat loses the Vote of Defiance, a Casting of Stones will occur to elect a cat to take their place.
