Thylacine Art RPG?

Tue Oct 30, 2012, 2:44 PM
You see it all the time, we do dogs, cats, horses, any and all kinds of domestic animals, but how does one go about doing the same with a wild animal?

Take for example. What is there to do with him? Yes you could draw him in his natural habitat, but still there's no real "show" of any kind for wild animals (that I could think of).

Breed standard? Uh, but there isn't one >_> Species standard maybe? But nature kind of perfects itself anyway, soooooo yeah.
Agility or some other sport? Again, not quite something I see with some wild animals. There are a few who I could think of doing that with, but a Thylacine isn't one of them XD
Maybe whoever's the best hunter? Who knows....

So what do you think. How on earth do you use something like that!

I'VE COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
HUNTING COMPETITIONS :D

Hunting will be done on a time trial basis. Whoever catches their prey the quickest is the winner. Each thylacine will be in it's own outdoor "pen" of sorts (kind of like what we call canned hunts, only one prey animal is released and it's up to the predator to find it) and to make it all the more fun, a time limit will be put in place. The prize winners will be whoever completes the task within the given time, if you fail to get your catch within the time, buzzer goes off and you're out of the game.
For RP judging, it will be a random number selection, so just take count of all who entered (total number), stick that into a site like random.org and whatever number it gives you is the first winner and so on. Based on the amount of entries, 2/3 of those participants will be "done" with their hunt before the time is up, while the other 1/3 will fall to the buzzer. Who those participants will be is strictly random each time and like I said, done on a number basis with a random number generator.

More to come as we move along with this idea. Feel free to go gossip to friends about it XD the more the merrier!

that would be cool... how about a bigger competition where we could have even more wild animals? I have a tree kangaroo i haven't anything to do with that I would love to try out. Tree kagaroos are herbivores, but if there was a race or something they are awesome tree climbers and can go pretty fast from one tree to another.

That's what I'm looking for- to see what else there is to come up with for a Thylacine and other wild animals.

Maybe make it a tree agility/race thing? Whoever climbs up one pole and gets to the last pole the fastest will win? XD idk

cool! 'cause i know there are other animals that climb trees. maybe a race through a forest? we square off an area with a path on the ground and trees along it so the animals can choose to climb or to run! are thylacine's fast runners?

OOH! and a jumping competition! like dog dock diving, we can see how far an animal can jump from branch to branch or platform to platform! just a thought!

Well, other animal RPs would be welcome as well, I'm fishing for ideas to put together some kind of structure for wild animals. So far I've managed to come up with something that could be used on predator animals like the Thylacine, but that's only one event.
