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).
I have been on the blog for 4 months so does that mean i can start to run for sw?
I don’t want to start runing yet though
No. You must be on the blog for at least one year (consecutive comments for at least 12 months) to qualify.
Ok thank you icy!
It turns out I am wrong! I think. It’s actually just 12 months of activity, one comment per month. So if you are on for 13 months and you’ve commented 1x per month for 12 months, you can still run.
Wait wait wait so in theory to run for senior warrior you would only ever need to have posted 12 comments in total ?
Theoretically, yes. But your chances of getting the necessary 15 vouches would likely be pretty slim if you’d only commented 12 times!
Yeah, those would have to be some pretty amazing comments 😛
So does that mean I can run or not.
Sorry I am so confused right now.
No, you cannot run at this time.
ok thank you!
what icy said ^^
How do you vouch, btw? I know, a really dumb question of mine…
Not yet. 🙂 You have to comment on the Blog once each month for twelve months (not necessarily consecutively, though). 🙂
whats the requirement for senior warrior?
You must be an active member for at least one year. (Active meaning at least one comment per month for 12 consecutive months. An example is you cannot go inactive for 6 months, only to run for senior warrior upon return.)
what icy said 🙂
What Icy said! 😀
What Icy said. 🙂
How many valid vouches do I have so far? 🙂
yeet
is that a number now
well I responded to the other one with a number! don’t come at me through recent purrs like that 😛
recent purrs is a portal to interesting comments and currently active mods 😛
the one time recent purrs brought everyone back to 2017 med cat election post? wild
I guess now I have yeet vouches 😛
on the spectrum of numbers, yeet is a very special kind of imaginary number, much to the likes of the square root of negative one
Weekly reminder that Cheetah, Spidey, Rainie, and I are running for Senior Warrior! 🙂 Weŕe hoping to get enough vouches by October or November, because we hit the six-month mark in November, meaning our vouches expire. Please vouch for us, it would mean so much – weŕe so close! <3
Yes! We are very very close and we’d appreciate it so much if you guys could vouch for us!
yeet yeet yeet rainie I’ve vouched before but good luck to you all !
yes yes thank you Mapleee
also my dude do you use your discord because I’ve sent you a friend request 😛
mAybe onCe a mOnth oR so?? 😛 I may be guilty of never checking discord. Maybe.
I vouched for you Rainie ❤️
yay thanks Fawny 💕

Me three!
<3
We love you guys we’d be so honored to become senior warriors <3
yEeT
GO CHEETOSPIDEYFROSTORAINIE
Who is Spidy?
I never really saw Spidey around that much since I joined but he/she (rip) is an important part of the blog! I believe Spidey’s warrior name is Spidersong!
Correct! 😀
Spidey’s a she 😛
HI IVE BEEN SUMMONED
spooderscooter!!
wistfist!!!
Spidey is an amazing person who is very active on the blog!
<3
YOU GUYS ARE ALL AMAZING AND I THINK I’VE VOUCHED FOR YOU ALL BUT UH COULD A MOD CHECK 😛
aaaaaaaah someone tell me to stop being lazy and vouch for all these people
Good luck everyone! ❤️ Do you know how close you all are? 🙂
Awww, thanks! 🥰
I think I have nine? Viper, can you check? 😛
Hi, I want to vouch for some people but I don’t know if I have already vouched for them. Who have I vouched for?
You’ve vouched for Cheetah, Frosto, and me, but unfortunately I don’t believe any of them are valid. Usually vouches need to contain at least three reasons why the person should receive senior warrior 🙂
What do you say in the new way of vouching? ;p
Why you think someone should be SW. :3 Whatever you’ve seen of them that makes them qualified. It should be at least three sentences, detailing at least three objective reasons. (Ex: unobjective reason might be “So-and-So would make an amazing SW!!!” and an objective reason might be “So-and-So is always friendly to everyone around them, especially on the Hug Page! They would be an amazing SW!!!” So three of those. ^^ It should also be coherent. If I can’t read it, I can’t approve it. 😛
Cool!
btw Viper can I draw you? You seem to have an interesting fursona 😛Of course! Go for it :3
Are there a lot of incoherent vouches Viper? 😛
Hmm…there’s not many, but there’s a few. It makes me sad because obviously the voucher is trying to vouch for someone they care about, and it can’t be counted as valid. 🙁
Viper explained it really well so 😛
Sorry, you guys for not coming in so soon. I was so busy that I forgot to check it in last year.
it’s ok 🙂
Hi! 😀
No worries! 🙂
Hi Viper, on the new allegiances, my name and purrsona have been changed back to what they were before. No worries if you can’t fix it before next month though 😀😀
Oh my…I just realized why I’ve been having some issues with people needing their stuff changed again. *facepalm* Uh…okay, so I change the Allegiances in a personal document, and add the changes there before publishing it on the site. And this month I…forgot to put the published September Allegiances in the document and just edited the first draft one that wasn’t changed according to what people needed fixed. So it didn’t save all the additional edits I made last month. Yikes. Sorry. :C Definitely an operater malfunction. What’s your new name and purrsona, again? 😛
I am Doe, a long-legged fawn she-cat with white spots on my back!
Thanks Viper and I’m sorry you’ve been having so many issues 🙁
Okay, fixed! 🙂
what viper said 😀
What Viper said 🙂
Hey y’all I’m running for senior warrior, I’ll really appreciate if you vouch for me! <3
ALSO VOUCH FOR CRYSTIE (Crystalpaw/shine) BECAUSE SHE'S AMAZING AND WE'RE RUNNING FOR SW TOGETHER!!!!!!! 😀
<3
Good luck Sandy! ❤️
I know this sounds dumb but do you have to be a warrior when you become sw?
No. Members of any age can be senior warriors, as long as they meet the requirements. 🙂
what icy said 😀
Yeeeessssss my life is saved
Nope; you can be any age. 🙂
Can I be on the list of available mentors?
Yes! But do make an effort to seek out an apprentice yourself too 😉
what cheeto said 😀
Hi Flamecloud, I don’t have a mentor …
Yay, do you want to be my apprentice?
Yes!!!!
Okey dokey!!
I’m going to go fill out the form to say, you’ll be my mentor!
Yay! I’ll go fill it out to!
Yay!
You’ll make an awesome mentor! 🙂
Hey guys! This is my weekly reminder that I’m still running for senior warrior; I’m nearing my 10th month of running and I really want to get there before a year. Please vouch, it would mean so much to me! ❤️
you’re so close <3 I know you'll get there, Fally 🙂
Did I vouch already? 😀 I keep forgetting 😛
Yes, and it’s valid! 🙂
Good luck! ❤️
