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
look for an apprentice
(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).
Umm, I’m not on the allegiances even though I submitted a form… Should I resend the form?
The allegiances are updated on the first of every month, so if you sent in your form any time after July 31st, you should show up on the allegiances September 1st 🙂
Oh okay, thanks!
Happy to help! 😀
what cheetah said 🙂
Hopefully you’ll be added in September! 🙂
Reminder that me, Spidersong, Rainshine, and Frostfire are running for senior warrior! We would each really appreciate a vouch <3
good luck you guys deserve it ❤️
good luck guys!! ❤️
Good luck! I would vouch for you but I haven’t met the two month mark yet 🙁 You guys deserve it, tho!
Thanks for the support! 🙂
Your welcome!
I vouched for all four of you!! <3 You deserve it <3 <3 😀
<3333
good luck
I need to vouch for two of you 😛
How do you vouch for someone?
By using this form! 😀 Under the section “Form: The Vouchers”, fill in the respective boxes. For the “Explanation for Vouching” box, write at least three objective sentences saying why you believe that person deserves the senior warrior title. (i.e. “Randomwarrior deserves to be a senior warrior because they are a constant presence on the blog. They take art requests, write fanfiction, and have been on the blog for as long as I can remember. Randomwarrior is one of the kindest people on the blog, and always cheers me up when I’m sad. For these reasons, Randomwarrior deserves the title of senior warriorship.” – obviously don’t copy this word for word, but you get the idea.) But remember that you have to have been on the blog for at least two months in order to be allowed to vouch for someone!
Good luck everyone! <3
Why, just why, aren’t you SW yet? You guys are so incredibly deserving! Everyone go vouch!
Thanks, dear <3
Hi guys! How do I get a mentor on here?
Not a mod, but first, ask the lovely Cheetahspark if you can be added to her apprentice list. You won’t be paired up immidiately, you are going to have to ask around for a mentor. Ask other BlogClanners for more info. 🙂
you just simply ask for one and a warrior might chose you and you don’t need a mentor it’s only for fun 😀
Hi Ravenpaw! Apprentices and mentors are purely for show, on the equally as optional Allegiances 🙂 However, if you like one, Cheetahspark will add you to her list of mentors and apprentices, and you’ll have to ask around to see who’s available! Cheetah won’t pair you up for you, but she provides a good idea of who you could perhaps ask to mentor you 🙂 You can also wait for somebody to volunteer themselves as an available mentor, and then reply, offering yourself as an apprentice. Good luck! 😀
I have advice! I got a mentor pretty fast by writing a comment about myself. My likes, my dislikes, my hobbies, my favorite things, my personality too–and I got my mentor (Doeleap) in a matter of days! I hope it works for you if you decide to try it!! 😀
Just ask around! 🙂 Cheetah(spark) keeps a list of available mentors/apprentices, so be sure to check it out 😀
When will the deputy, med cat, and meddie apprentice get updated?
Inauguration happens in October, I believe 🙂
what emb said 🙂
October 🙂
Who have I validly vouched for?
Hey, Silvs! I don’t see any valid vouches within the last six months. Please remember that your vouch should:
1. ne at least three sentences long.
2. possess coherent objective reasons that the candidate should become a senior warrior, beyond personal reasons. For example, a personal reason might be “So-and-So is a really nice person!!!” An objective reason might be “So-and-So really shows friendliness by always welcoming new members to the site and helping them find their way around.”
I hope this is helpful, and I’m sure if you redo your vouches you’ll do a great job! 🙂
Ok, thanks! I’ll redo them
Best of luck! 🙂
not Viper, but hi Silvs 🙂
Remember me folks 🙂 , I am back and asking you all to vouch for me for senior warrior . I’ve been running since last Nov and it would mean a lot to me if you vouched 🙂
🍀❤️
Good luck Thistle!
Mods, have I already vouched for Thist? 😀 I cannot remember :\
Not yet! 🙂
Okay cool! I will then!! 😀
🙂
good luck Thistle! ❤️
good luck!
Em, Viper, I’m an apprentice, but I’m a kit on the list, can you help me change that or what form should I sent?
Hey, Dreampaw! The forms you’ve submitted indicate that you’re in elementary school. That would make you a kit. 🙂 Hope this was helpful!
So your rank goes with your school rank of your age? Because I’m 11 and I’m in elementary school, so I’m I a kit or an apprentice?
If you live in America, then it’s based on your school 🙂 If you live outside of America, where the grade levels might differ, then it’d based on your age!
oof

Ooh both sides are relatively long? wow
Thanks Cheetah. Is there anyone on this list that would like to have me as an apprentice? 🙂
I can’t speak for any of them, so try asking them yourself! 🙂 You can also post a general comment asking for a mentor and see who responds!
Is it just me or did the mentors list grow again?
THE LIST IS DOING SO BAD ON ITS DIET! I think we have to make a diet plan for the list 😛
ahhh the list got fat 😛
Good luck everyone! The apprentice list is growing, but the mentor list did too…
Hi Cheetahspark, Eaglefrost has agreed for me to be his apprentice!
yee yee
Cheetah dear I need to be on the list againnnnn
ahhhh okie
Can a mod put my Clanniversary in the calendar? I don’t know exactly when it is, just that it’s somewhere in October 😛
Btw can I have a link to my first comment? 😀 😀
You’ll need to tell us the exact date! 😛
Ooooohhhhhh :C
Pick one! Any date 🙂
oof
not a mod, but hey Pebble 🙂
Hey Fally! 😀
Hey Viper, do you have discord? Because I need to ask you private message.
Yup. KraftyKat (#8311). 🙂 Feel free to contact me with any of your questions.
Hey Viper, who have I validly vouched for?? I’m kinda worried about whether they were valid or not oof 😛
If you vouched as Bluepaw, you’ve vouched for Fally, Pasty, and Moon within the past six months. 🙂 They’re all valid.
Ah sweet!!! I’m glad they were valid 😛 Yaaaaaaaay 😛 And yeah I vouched as Bluepaw because I never know whether I need to put in my apprentice name or if I should just do Blueheart so it’s clear so I just go with my apprentice name rip 😛
😛
What age are you if you are a kit? 😀
just elementary school like kindergarten through fifth grade 🙂
elementary school
Under 11
If you’re in the United States, the elementary school grades. If you aren’t in the United States, under eleven. 🙂
If you’re in America, it’s grades kindergarten through fifth (elementary school). If you don’t live in the U.S, then it’s when you’re under the age 11. 🙂
I’m running for senior warrior! Please vouch for me! I would really appreciate it 💕
