This page is entirely dedicated to BlogClan’s Allegiances.
Here, you can:
talk about the allegiances
campaign to become a senior warrior
ask for vouches
look for a mentor/apprentice (limited to twice a week)
(If you have an issue with your current purrsona, please submit a new form so that Viperfrost/Goldenfawn can correct any errors/ommissions at the beginning of the following month)
In alignment with the new changes to the Senior Warrior campaigning platform, please be aware of the following rules:
You can announce that you are running for Senior Warrior ONCE, in a short message such as “Hey, everybody! I’m running for SW and I’d appreciate it if you vouched!”. Afterward, you may remind others than you are running ONCE PER WEEK, again in a short message such as “I’m still running for SW and I’d appreciate any support!”. Placing reminders in your name or signature is still fine. 🙂 Please separate your 1) reminder and 2) question about how many vouches you have into two different comments. Any mod can mod your reminder; only two of us can review your vouch question.
You may no longer post lists of reasons others should vouch for you, since the merit of your actions should hopefully speak louder than words.
I (Viperfrost/Goldenfawn) will keep track of how many valid vouches you have and update the Allegiances accordingly. If you’d like the number of how many valid vouches you currently have, you can post that question below ONCE PER WEEK.
To be elligible to run, you must have been active for twelve months total. In the past, you would have had to be active for twelve months in a row. Activity is determined by if you’ve commented at least once per month for each of those twelve months.
You may no longer “vouch nag” (A.K.A. post lists of reasons one should vouch for a campaigner on behalf of that campaigner).
If you would like to show support (“Vouch for So-And-So!”) or say that you’ve vouched for a campaigner, please do so beneath their announcement or weekly reminder.
If you would like a list of who you’ve vouched for, you can ask below ONCE PER WEEK. Please note that asking who you’ve vouched for is different than asking who you’ve validly vouched for and may produce different answers. 🙂
Vouch Requirements:
1. The vouch must be three or more complete sentences long.
2. The vouch must be legible. Caps lock and intense exclaimations are not your friends.
3. The vouch must include three or more objective reasons, with support, regarding how the candidate benefits the community as a whole.
People usually get caught on the third requirement. I’ll give you an example of what one of these “reasons” would look like.
One NOT VALID reason: “Goldenfawn is very nice and friendly and I love them, they’re the best!!!”
One VALID reason: “Goldenfawn is very kind, warm, and outgoing, They’re always around to be a listener or to offer a shoulder to someone in their time of need in the BlogClan Community.
What makes this valid? You have the first sentence as your thesis. It’s your main point and your reason. It is followed up by another sentence that backs up your claim. You’re providing objective reasons about benefitting the community; you have to explain HOW the candidate carries out the reason you gave. It’s one thing to say someone is nice and quite another to explain why you think they’re nice. As a general reminder, you’ll need three of these reasons in your vouch (so three main points and three explanations of those points).
First comment? New Allegiances? Cool! 😀

Reasons for why I’m running:
-I’ve written quite a few articles such as this one (https://blogclan.katecary.co.uk/2016/09/24/starclan-by-emberpaw/), this one (https://blogclan.katecary.co.uk/2016/05/27/the-undercat-4-nightcloud-by-emberkit-emberfang/), and this one (http://erinhunter.katecary.co.uk/the-undercat-3-duskwater-by-emberkitfang/)
-I’ve attended two Gatherings: the more recent one that took place on September 2016, and another one that happened during December 2015
-I’m also quite active in general, commenting nearly every day
-I’m currently writing two fanfictions, Enemies in the Shadows (http://blogclan-2.wikia.com/wiki/Enemies_in_the_Shadows) and The UnderWarriors (originally started by Iceheart) (not available on the BlogClan Wikia)
-I participate in Name That Apprentice
– I’ve participated in two contests: one in February 2016, and another that took place during December 2015

Need Mentor!! (Hoping for one that I know)
Hiiiiiiiiii I’m new and need a mentor so can any1 be my mentor???
Mentors aren’t necessary, it’s just a tradition, but you can certainly keep trying. 😛
Hiiiiiii guys! Who missed meh (srry haven’t been on for a while ;-; )
New Allegiances? Ok.
I need to be a apprentice.
Do I have to do a form?
nevermind ^_^
Now all I need is a mentor, anyone want to be my mentor?
Meeeeeeeee i need an apprentice!
Who else is really looking forward to December so they can see the allegiances finally be cleared of all the people who don’t comment or do anything on BlogClan and just put their name into the allegiances, stay on me day, and leave?
YES
Yes
I’m so hyped!
Y e s 😛
More like January, because we’ll still have to wait through all of December for it to get cleared. But I’m definitely ready for it. 😀
(Okay, so maybe I’m party excited because I’ll be even higher on the apprentice list 😛 )
Same 😛
But hopefully by then I’ll be on the SW section 😉
Good point. But still, It will be so cool
So who is currently running for senior warrior? I know Ember is, but if any one else is could you please tell me so I can make sure to vouch for you! Thanks!

The 7 stages of blogclan:
1. Clueless
You walk around trying to find what you like the most.
2. Finding your “territory”
I call my “territory” the place I hang out in. So yea, pretty self-explanitory.
3. Making friends
You start making friends!
4. getting a bit more comfortable
you try different things, and participate a bunch!
5. you start obsessing over it.
Need I explain?
6. You invite friends and family and start making more things.
7. You love blogclan
THE STAGE MOST PEOPLE ARE IN NOW! YOU HAVE TEH COURGE TO JOKE AROUND INSTEAD OF BEING LIKE “Thanks! You’re cool!” (or maybe it’s just me x3)
IM ON THE LAST STAGE!!
SOIME MATE (not typo)
NAH, SOIME IS THE CORRECT SPELLING 😛

We’re alike!
Stage 7!
I didn’t go through most of those stages…… found BC in September 2015, read everything under the new members tab, didn’t join till February this year, and even though it’s definitely the site I visit most now, I’m still rather reserved. 😛
That sounds pretty much how it went for me. 😛
I’m still on step 3 XD
I think
I’m either on stage 2 or 3. I’m only been on this for two weeks and I think my place is the Tavern.
I’m on the last stage, and have been for over 2 years!
fr
I’ve been in stage 7 for a year now
Stage 8: you forget about BlogClan or just get really inactive
I’m on stage 5 😛
