hi, I usually write long posts for these kinds of discussions but I really don't have the energy for that right now but I did just want to express my opinion here. I may not seem vocal and persistent about it, but, I do not ever want to see the ability for WF to interact friendly with wolves removed. having fun, friendly WF was a highlight for me in 2014 with Autumn, as much as it was this year with Jaylen, it provides me with muse, and allows my WF to remain secondary characters while still being easy to write and enjoyable. I would absolutely be dissapointed if my bear or fox no longer met the "criteria" for their species, because news flash, a lot of our wolves do "unrealistic" stuff too! of course a bear wouldn't hang out with a wolf in nature. but (not to call out individuals, because I am fine with all of this- it helps creativity, which is a good thing-) wolves wouldn't "sign" to eachother, fiercely "claim" more land than they can feasibly handle, or worship gods with trinkets and altars. and that's ok, its RP for a reason, and its semi realistic baseline is what always allowed me to love a good WF, especially if that WF is different than expected- playing a kind and friendly bear, opposed to the expectation of a growly bear, is just such a blast!! 

and because I feel if I don't mention it it won't be cited as an existing opinion, I appreciate the WF restrictions. I think WF should have the same MERs, etc., because WF are meant to be less of the focus of this game, and it really isn't too difficult to pump out 120 posts overall if you really, really want WF kiddos. I've done it before and I'll probably do it again sometime. I wouldn't mind if WF ever got the option for trades but im also perfectly happy without. 

I request nobody to quote this aand ask questions directly pointed to me to answer, just because I may or may not want to involve myself with this thread more at all. if you have questions about anything I said just ask it generally to anyone please 

also lol I realized this ended up being long unlike what I initially thought so my baddd

Again, as I have mentioned it before. All of my hypotheticals were to defend from the staff's hypotheticals to mine. having a WF player played character befriend a wolf is absolutely fine, but for a WF to join a pack as an unoficial member and help in wars as one of them - THAT is my issue, that and companion apex predators which basically are the same thing but played by the wolf's player. having a WF befriend certain wolves is fine, its like you can tame a horse but you cannot tame a zebra. You can tame a mouse as a wolf to be their companion for example, but a bear in this example would basically be the zebra. would be friendly to a certain few but every other wolf has to start from zero, its the only thing that makes sense to me and still, a bear, puma or eagle as a companion is just absolutely ridiculous that it's allowed.

and should that player played WF help their wolf friend in trouble? i think they absolutely should if it makes sense naratively! Again, just don't metagame, its that simple. communicate with players. and you cannot kill other players characters anyway so its really not an issue but its been made into an issue for really unclear reasons.
