Should we role play the plot listed below, have a time skip and skip to when the plot is already over (your characters don't have to age,) or should we just drop the plot like it never existed and say that there have always been some dinosaurs and prehistorics in Amanija?
Personally, I voted it should end and we pretend the plot never existed, but we pretend there are always been some preshistorics here. My reason for this is because there seems to be a lack of interest in the plot, and I think the other reason this plot won was because people wanted to play prehistorics. If we just end it like this, it would allow people to still play prehistorics, but we can just skip rping the plot. And this way prehistorics could now join other clans and herds. The outcome would be basically the same if we just did a time skip to the end of the plot. But I never really liked the plot that much anyway. Despite the fact that I'm writing tons of books and I consider myself to be a good writer, I CANNOT write interesting plots, only basic concepts (such as the five clans, herds, all animals living together, etc.)

Plot
When the Guardians sense something coming and project their ghostly image on Amanija, they see a herd of rogues arriving. The herd receives many stares from the living and the Guardians alike, and for good reason. At the front of the herd stands a huge, old, reptile who calls itself a dinosaur. Behind it are several other odd animals, most of which are reptiles, a few are not. Out of the ocean beside where they stand appear several more odd creatures.
The Guardians are a bit worried, but curious and polite, welcoming them to the land, but also asking who they are and where they are from.
"We are from a distant land, one that no longer exists," the leader answers. "Our kind are thought extinct by many, but we have evaded fate by moving from place to place. We are a wandering herd, and we seek only peace. We have traveled for quite some time and would like to rest for a bit. If you will allow us, we will stay here. Rest assured, we will cause you no harm and we will not stay long."
The Guardians agreed to let them stay, and, naturally, the guests are bombarded by questions from curious animals. Other animals are afraid to go near them, as some of the "dinosaurs" are even larger than the elephants living in Amanija! Some of them are angry with the very thought of these outsiders staying. They claim the food supply will run low.
The dinosaurs explain that they only eat plants, even the ones with the large, sharp teeth, and they are not picky what kind of plants. The Guardians again agree, as there are plenty of plants in the land for the strange creatures.
Over time, the animals discover that the dinosaurs are actually quite friendly, and friendships form. Some of the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures begin to want to stay, but this is rejected by some animals and some of the prehistoric as well.
Just when they are about to leave, the leader falls ill. The herd stays longer, waiting for their leader to recover. They keep waiting, but the dinosaur doesn't seem to be getting any better. One day, it becomes apparent that the reptile will die soon. Grieved, the herd stays with their leader until it's final hour. Later, the question on whether to leave or stay arises again. Strong bonds of friendship have been formed and no one really wants to leave. After several long talks, the herd decides to stay and the animals rejoice that they will not have to say goodbye to their dear friends.
