I generally don't get involved in these discussions for two reasons:

1. I usually don't have a strong opinion one way or the other, so I feel like I should leave the discussion up to the people who do care;
2. Even when I do have a strong opinion, I don't care enough to risk attracting vitriol from one opposing side or another. It's better for my mental health to just roll with whatever

But! I'll bite this time and share my opinion, since it was pointed out that there is in fact a part of the community that generally stays silent and I'm for sure in that group. And also I just feel weirdly compelled to help this get back on track.

Regarding the discussion this thread actually started with, I think it would make sense if trespassing rules on pack lands were enforced for Wild Fauna the same as they are for wolves. Unless the WF is known by the pack to be welcome in the territory at any time, they have to stay out. It might be more realistic for WF to freely wander into a wolf's territory, but for the sake of avoiding any instances of meta-gaming, just don't allow it. And if it happens, then have the WF expect possible repercussions. Honestly, I would so love to see a pack come down on a sparrow the way they converge on other wolves lol.

And for the record, I don't like Wild Fauna. The NPC WF my characters interact with don't speak "wolf" and can't communicate, so it's always just plain awkward for me when RPing with an actual character-played Wild Fauna and for whatever reason, this is the one bird on the site my wolf does understand. I would honestly be pretty annoyed if I ended up in a war plot (actually, I could end that sentence there--I hate war plots) where another pack came at me with an army of bears, unlikely as that may be to actually happen in game. That being said, I know people do enjoy playing them and that's their prerogative and it doesn't bother me enough that I would want to take that away from anyone, except for maybe if the bear army thing happened. So, if WF is going to be played on the site, this is how I see a compromise working that would allow player freedom while incorporating some safeguards to restrict the more problematic meta-gaming scenarios.

Bye!

Fenn is welcome at all times and will in fact make me sad if she doesn't show up.
