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).
What does it mean to vouch for senior warrior?
Hi Rosesplash! To vouch for a senior warrior, you need to have been on the blog for 2 months. If you haven’t, then you can’t vouch. If you have, then you can! To vouch, first pick a senior warrior to vouch for (Osprey has a list, go to page 563) once you have a senior warrior picked(ex=Flamecloud) and go to the allegiances page. (Under the New Member? tab) and find the box labeled ‘Become or Vouch for a Senior Warrior’ and click on it, then click on the link. Afterwards, read through the rules, and fill out the voucher form! (The actual page contains more information, so I won’t need to copy that onto my comment)
Have an awesome day! 😁
Thanks, Fidgetpaw!
You’re very welcome!

-2nd Repost-
Hi. I am currently in the market for a mentor, so if anyone wants an apprentice… 🥺 My name is Maypaw. My nickname is Maya. My warrior name will be Maypetal. My friends say I’m kind of shy, but I’m super nice once you get to know me. (Sorry if that sounded like bragging) Some of you might know Willa or Willowpaw, she is one of my irl friends! She also told me that having a mentor is a good way of making a friend on BlogClan. I don’t know very many people yet, but I would love to have more BlogFriends here! <3
Good luck!! I’m an apprentice myself so I can’t mentor you, but I’d love to be your friend! 😀
goooood luuuuuck! <3
i accept your offer 😛
oooo
c:
Ngl but looking at the requirements for a vouch, is kind of like what a middle school ela teacher would want out of a question response on an assignment. 😛
They’re preparing us 😜
Yeah, which is why it’s so hard to get fifteen of them because it can be really overwhelming for the vouchers!
Yeah, kinda 😛
i tried SO HARD to vouch for juju and failed
i’m still perfecting my vouches for everyone else so that the same thing doesn’t happen 😛
True dat 😛
hahaha
Hi I’m looking for a mentor
Anyone in for the job?

Good luck
Reminding y’all that I am running for medcat of the apprentice army, under Draconicpaw! :3
