Did I hear someone say something about descing? I like to describe things - I don't know how good I am at it but I can throw sentences together, if you'll have me. I did do a little building one time, but that was a really long time ago so I don't remember a thing, though perhaps I can relearn? Let me introduce myself - call me Kibibi, and I've been keeping an eye on this project of yours because I'm interested in playing an elephant somewhere. And yes, I am a bit odd that way.

I could help you guys out with describing stuff. Maybe especially with the outlands or elephant graveyard? But yeah, whatever you need help with, just lemme know and I'll give it a shot. :]

I can't code myself, the tech stuff is beyond me, but I can do things if I'm instructed how. You'll be doing me a great service just by helping with the descriptions. And a big welcome to you, Shenzi, I'm glad you've joined us.

Cool beans! Just lemme know what I need to do, and I'll get to it. :] And, thank you! I'm glad I joined too. I think this MUCK is going to work out great, because we're all so AWESOME.

So hey! I was wondering. Shenzi's always been my favorite character, but Vitani is a close second. I don't know if you guys wanted to limit the number of FCs we could play, but, if it'd be alright with everyone, I could totally play Vitani too.
Oh, and if you guys want to go the route discussed in the timeline thread of Zira killing off Sarabi in place of Kopa/Chaka, and you needed someone to spoof her for the actual scene?
<-- This kid right here. :]

If we were going to do something like that I think we should limit it to characters who aren't going to interact on a regular basis. For Example: Shenzi and Vitani aren't really going to be around each other that much. However, if I was going to play Kopa AND Simba it'd be kind of problematic. Just my two cents on the matter. Not sure what we're going to do with Sarabi quite yet. It all depends on if anyone gets interested in playing her by the time we officially open. After a bit of thought, a part of me /does/ think the Sarabi death thing fits a bit better than having another cub or cubs that were killed by Zira and it does kind of kill two birds with one stone. A) It explains why Kopa's alive. B) It explains why Sarabi's not in TLK II and why Zira was exiled.

We're thinking of allowing players to play two FCs, one major and one minor. Shenzi and Vitani may both be considered major, we haven't gotten that far in discussions yet. We will be sure to let you know either way. Why does everyone keeping wanting Sarabi dead?? LOL!! If we can't find a player, I might spoof her myself We'll see how it goes. Once we're actually open ideas might change. Nothing is written in stone.

I don't /want/ Sarabi dead, I'm just throwing out ideas. ;p Though you have to admit that a heroic death defending her grandchild is a bit better than just being Former-Queen-Not-Appearing-In-This-Film as Disney had it.

@ Shani - Alright! Yeah, if you guys could keep me posted on that, I'd appreciate it. Also, if someone pops in with a real big interest in Vitani, that's cool too, I won't be all defeated and whatnot if someone else wants her. But! Just wanted to throw it out there that I am interestd. @ Kopa - That'd be killing THREE birds with one stone! - Explains Sarabi's absence - Explains why Zira got the boot - Explains why Kopa is still alive and kickin' Even though, I do like Sarabi and I don't want her to die.. our plot ideas are more important! Hmm. On second thought, if the Vitani thing doesn't work out for me, Nuka would be kinda fun to play too. Hmmmmmm. :3

It's too bad that Sarafina was in the movie, we could kill her off as well. Seriously, though, I like Sarabi as well and would not want her to die, but sometimes indeed sacrifices must be made, for the greater good and the plotline. I remember back years ago, not sure how many, a friend of mine had a MUCK who had a similar plot idea, but it was Kiara that Zira had killed and was banished for.

The more I think about it, Sarabi is a pretty cool character. She probably had it the toughest. Got told her mate and son died, AND had to live in the Pridelands during the time of Scar. I mean, at least Simba had the jungle. D:
On second thought, don't kill Sarabi. XD

I mean, at least Simba had the jungle. D: On second thought, don't kill Sarabi. XD At least she'd be with Muffy again if she did die. But yeah, we don't need to kill off Sarabi if we want to keep her around. Like I said, just brainstorming ideas and got inspired. I did think of another possibility if we wanted Zira and the Outlander's exile to be the opening scene for the MUCK. Suppose that there are three cubs in the litter, Chaka, Kiara and Kopa. We could have someone spoof Chaka, say he's the oldest (with Kiara or Kopa being the second-oldest, depending on if Kiara's player wants to be heir or not.) Anyway, we have someone spoof Chaka and Zira kills him. It could work out something like this: Chaka and Kopa (and/or Kiara) are wrestling around someplace relatively safe like the Waterhole or the Grasslands and Zira decides that it's a perfect opportunity to put her plan into action. She attacks him, maybe Kopa bites her in the leg or something while she's on Chaka and gets kicked away, tumbles off a rise or something else that manages to get him out of the combat zone so he's not killed, too. He runs off and finds someone who can get help and Zira is run off but too late to save Chaka. Simba corners Zira and her cohorts and has them brought before Pride Rock where he passes sentence on them, could be RP worthy with Rafiki and other animals giving suggestions and him finally deciding on exile. Now, here's where it might get interesting. If we're doing this as the opening scene of the MUCK while Kopa and Kiara are around then Vitani and Kovu would be as well which means that they might be playmates or rivals and know Kiara and Kopa since cubhood before their exile which could open all new RP situations that weren't present in TLK II when they were Outlanders from the beginning. Anyway, let me know what you guys think?

I think that's a great idea! Of course, we could elaborate on it even more in the actual scene, and I do have a feeling that the hyenas would be absent for that. Unless of course, maybe they could smell the blood of Chaka, and perhaps the trio is in the vacinity, and comes up to investigate all conspicuously and whatnot, learning what's happening between the Outlanders and the Pridelanders? That way, Shenzi especially could begin to learn to side with the Pridelanders as well, since she could see Zira as nothing more than a female copy of Scar, what with the cub-killing and whatnot, and she wouldn't want a repeat of that. Also! When you said that maybe Kopa bites Zira's leg and gets tossed off: WHAT IF.. he bit her EAR, and that's how she got that lovely notch of hers? She could just maybe swat him off if he did that, but yeah, just a suggestion. :]

As for Shenzi and Co. showing up: I /hope/ the hyenas would stay REALLY far off so that Simba wouldn't think they had a part in Chaka's death if they did show up.

Shweet! Thanks! :]
Also, you have a point there about the hyenas. I would like them to be involved in the opening scene, but yeah, we wouldn't want Simba catching scent of them and thinking that they were behind it too. But, maybe at the 'trial' of Zira and her lionesses, they could like.. proudly take credit for killing Chaka? They seem so blunt about wanting everything back, and Zira's kinda crazy anyway, so maybe she could be all like, "No way! Those hyenas aren't smart enough to pull that off!" Or something. I don't know. Maybe they could even be cornered in that trial as well, and that could even escalate the conflict between them and the outlanders?
