I've still been considering adding another board to the role play section. My current idea is a board where cats try to mark parts of the enclosure for themselves and/or try to create food piles. Of course, other cats would come in and disrupt this, trespass, or steal, starting a fight. What I hope wouldn't happen is that a cat would claim a territory and no one would interfere. I could also make a board just for fighting, but I'd need to suggest some specific ways/reasons fights would start.
Thoughts?

That sounds like a good idea. An area where more cats could be staying, maybe because it might be a little cooler. Key word, little. Then you could have sub-boards saying, for example, "Woodstripe's Territory", with a little description of what it looked like, like anything that marks it, seeing as it would be pretty bleak. They could start off unclaimed (some basic areas), could be claimed, then after about a month or so other cats could fight for their territory. A judge could decide who got the territory.
You could probably also buy a new sub-board for your territory for LT's, or guarantee that your cat 'owned' that piece of land for ____ amount of time.
Is this what you meant by this, or do you mean something else?

Spot - you forget that this place is in chaos, so there wouldn't be a judge; the cats would battle it out until one of them died or gave up, I'm guess.

"Is this what you meant by this, or do you mean something else?"
Mm, something like that, but less concrete. There wouldn't be subboards - not anytime soon, anyway. Cats could go around claiming whatever the heck they want. No one really owns any of it.
"(some basic areas)" < examples?
"there wouldn't be a judge"
She means that another role player would decide which character won the fight.
Or at least, that's what I took it to mean.

No, judges as in roleplayers, not IC cats. They wouldn't be random people, probably would be picked and it couldn't be their cats in the fight so that they wouldn't pick themselves because of that.
"There wouldn't be subboards - not anytime soon, anyway. Cats could go around claiming whatever the heck they want. No one really owns any of it."

Just an idea. It's organized, that's why I thought it might work.
"examples?"
---
Some basic pre-made areas. For example, "This small area is pretty bleak, like the rest of them. A larger rock marks the approximate center of it, with a little streak of shade. It's too tiny for a cat to cool down in it, though." -isn't great at making descriptions-
"She means that another role player would decide which character won the fight.
Or at least, that's what I took it to mean."

Yep.

I know what you meant. I was asking what one of these would be.
So... a rock?

It depends on what you think the areas should be. After all, you're the one who owns the site. And a rock was for example. Areas would vary.

I was thinking there wouldn't be areas, which was why I was asking you for examples when you suggested areas.
"Areas would vary."
--x
What would be some variations?
btw, I was thinking that if a cat wanted to claim a territory, it would be easiest to do by the wall, as that makes that much less of a border that you'd need to guard. So I changed the description for the Wall board.
Also, I altered the tabby prices after realizing that classics are much rarer than the other kinds.

"I was thinking there wouldn't be areas"

And you don't mind me going on about an idea that you're not too fond about? You can easily tell me that you don't like the idea if you don't.
"What would be some variations?"
---
Well, for example, you could have areas similar, with one or a couple distinguishing marks, like:
-rocks (not built into the wall)
-crack in wall
-small hole where water sometimes accumulates
-bones of animal
-looser sand
-etc.
Each area would be similar to the terrain that you put in the 'setting' side table, just with something a little different.
"I was thinking that if a cat wanted to claim a territory, it would be easiest to do by the wall,"
---
That makes sense. Fights could be held there as well, then.
"Also, I altered the tabby prices after realizing that classics are much rarer than the other kinds."

Cool

Of course I don't mind. I'm open to it if you have a good enough argument.
"-bones of animal"
--x
Like a rat? Or a cat?
Wouldn't there be plenty of each?
