Heylo everyone. Hawkii and I have noticed a really alarming trend and wanted to post a reminder that it is against the rules for cats to have mates outside their clan. It's also against the rules for an Apprentice to pair up with another cat.
Due to so many having broken the rules on this Hawkii and I have decided that from this point on there is a ban on having a mate in a different clan. There is also a ban on Apprentices pairing up with other cats and from this moment on, ALL Apprentice pairings are off. That means if you are "paired" presently or in the future with an Apprentice, it's off. You will have to wait until your cat is a warrior before posting a thread in the Mates Request forum seeking a mate.
I realize some of you might be upset with these rules, but please realize that if you had a mate outside a clan or paired up with an Apprentice that you were breaking the rules to begin with. And yes, this affects me too *eyes Oakpaw and Stormpaw* so I know how some of you feel.
We're leaving this open if anyone has any questions or comments they'd like to post.
Edit ~ I forgot to include this above, but it's also against the rules for a Medicine Cat or a Medicine Cat Apprentice to have a mate (or kits). So all those pairings are now off as well.

Okay. *Cuts off crush-ship with Dewpaw, Dreampaw, and Strawberrypaw* But can they still be friends and start doing the... real thing when they become a warrior? And can medicine cats still have forbidden loves? *eyes Crystal and Frostgaze worriedly*
I better go pm my Apprentice's crushes. o.O

I'm sorry, I forgot to post about Medicine Cats and Med Cat Apprentices. Sorry guys, thats against the rules too. All those pairings are off as well cause that's part of the oath of being a Medicine Cat... Sorry.

Should Stormpaw and Oakpaw just be friends, then?

That's what Wildstorm and I are doing with Skysong and Blitzfire. When they were apprentices we decided that they would become mates later, right now they are just really good friends. We think that they are still a little to young right now ^^

Is it okay for two cats to have affection for each other but not a full fledged romance. I mean, we have to have some cats breaking the rules, otherwise it's not as interesting. But I can see your point very clearly, there have been a lot of apprentice romances.

Ripplestream and Shadowfire have a 'forbidden love' thing going on - is that all right?

Mrph...*points to Seamist's post*
Can it just be FUTURE apprentice and med. cat relationships be cut off and not the ones that are happening right now?

Hmm... So many new rules are coming into play, Maybe existing romances between Med. Cats can stay in place or you take choice two, to have a relisation of the code or something?

I apologize, I didn't realize it would make this much of a mess. >.< Let me see if I can clarify what Kiri and I had in mind for the relationships that are already in place, and then we can talk about alternate options.
'kay, so apprentices. All apprentice relationships have to be cut off now. The cats can think whatever they like as far as crushes go, but they cannot act on their thoughts until they are warriors. No licking, meeting in secret, etc. That's the one I feel most strongly about, personally, because they're so young that it just doesn't seem right. Apprentice relationships have been against the rules since day one of the site, but the rule was unintentionally removed from the Mates board description during a description clean up a couple of months ago, so our more recent members and people who hadn't previously noticed had no way of knowing.
Let me get back to you on the others, 'kay? We're still kind of discussing what our idea of the best strategy is on that, some new information has changed the situation. I just want to post this anyway, so everyone will know I've read this, and that it has my full attention right now. More info coming as soon as possible.

My kittypet, Kizzy took Eagle Skybird as a mate a few months ago. Then I went up to boarding school and couldnt post so he joined Stormclan. So Now he is a stormclan warrior and kizzy is a kittypet/loner....so, can they still be mates or does it have to be broken up?
