Hey everybody! Nat and I have been talking something over, and we wanted to run this by you as well. We've gained a lot of new members recently (which is awesome!) and I've noticed that several of you have claimed new territories. Now this is not a bad thing at all! We encourage you guys to get involved and have your own herds and whatnot, but it does kind of create a bit of a problem for us staff and keeping plenty of territories open for everyone. If we add too many more, the home page will be waaaaay long, and we don't really want that! So, we've come up with an idea that would allow for plenty of open territory spots for everyone and keep the length of the home page reasonable. Now we want to see what you guys think of it.
I've observed that on many equine roleplaying sites that claimable territories are subboards listed under a main board with a description of the the general terrain and climate for the entire area. We were thinking that we could do something like that here. Both the South and West can have four or five different main territories with five or so claimable subboards within these areas. That would give us plenty of claimable territories for everyone of a wide variety and not make the home page too long. We were also thinking that with this idea we could have some premade claimable lands and also keep with the thing that members are free to decide the description of their own land as well if they want to. We would just add a small rule that the territory would somehow have to fit with the description of the mainland.
Now, one concern you guys might have is what would become of the pre-existing territories. Well, worry not! We would work around the territories that are already in play and create mainlands that they fit into. It seems what we currently have divides up quite nicely as it is. In the South we could have a mountain area, and then sort of a canyon/cliffland kind of thing, and the West would have a meadowland and a forested area.
Before I go on and ramble on too much more. Nat and I want to know what you think of the idea. Give us a yay or nay, the good and bad, whatever you have to say on this matter. Also, if you like the idea, and have a suggestion on a main area, feel free to do so! We want to see what you guys have. Even if is it is a simple as a name for a land. Speaking of, that is one thing I want to hit on. We want the names of the areas to be descriptive of the terrain and subboards, but we don't want it to be too out there. Simple is better in this case. So, with that said, give us what you got! All I ask is that you use the form below to make your suggestion, that way we know exactly what you are trying to say.

Keep in mind that this little code is for if you have an idea for a terrain idea. You don't have you use it if you don't have an idea and are just sharing your opinion of the matter.
