general rules ;;
[x] Respect everyone on this forum. No excuses.
[x] This is a semi-literate to literate site. Try to write at least 100 words [there is a word count beneath your posts], and you must have decent spelling and grammar [spell check your posts!]. Beginners are welcome, as long as you are willing to learn.
[x] Absolutely no cursing out of character, not even with symbols or stars. In character is fine though.
[x] I hate chat-speak. Don't use it. [Example: How r u 2day?]
[x] No spamming! Your post will be deleted without notice.
[x] Try not to double-post. Use the modify button if you need to change something.
[x] Make sure your signature and all other pictures are a good size and don't stretch the board.
[x] Liquid time is allowed, though not suggested. [Liquid means that you keep your character in multiple threads at once.]
[x] Pack members may post anywhere, but loners and rogues are suggested to stay off pack territory unless they are asking for acceptance.
[x] When one of your characters die, show me the thread they died in and I will move their bio to the appropriate board. [You have to roleplay their death, not just say 'they died'.]
[x] For now, the amount of characters you can have depends on how many stars you have under your name. One star= 5 charries, two stars= 8, three stars= 12, four stars= 15, five stars= unlimited. [It is not required to make a new account for every charrie, but it is recommended.] This is only so the site isn't overrun by charries from one person. But... if we get enough members, I'll take away the limit. See how that works? >D Now go my minions; ADVERTISE! Buahahahaha...
[x] The most important rule - have fun!
fighting rules ;;
[x] No power-playing [PPing] or godmoding [g-moding]. PPing means controlling another person's character by making them do something that the character's RPer didn't say they did. G-moding means making your character invincible in a fight.
[x] Make the fight reasonable. A pup isn't going to win against a full-grown wolf.
[x] If a winner cannot be decided, one of the staff members will choose.
[x] Don't take what happens in the thread personally; no matter how mean the posts may seem to you, it's only aimed at your character. It has nothing to do with you.
mating rules ;;
[x] The earliest your wolf can bear pups is when it is three years of age; no sooner.
[x] You may mate during any season.
[x] Your wolf must be pregnant for at least two real weeks after mating before she can give birth.
[x] Nothing graphic.
[x] Force-breeding is allowed, but has some rules:
-- Be respectful to the other person. If they don't want their character forced, then please don't.
-- Chances are smaller that you'll have pups if you're forced, but it is still very likely.
-- You can force-breed at any age, but if either wolf is any younger than three years old, there will be no pups.
-- Your wolf can fight back. The forcer must wait for their reaction.
-- Your wolf can be forced or can force as many times as you let it. It can become pregnant right after a birth, even. And the father can leave whenever they want, and they can keep you however they want if you don't fight back. They can even stalk your wolf.
[x] I'll choose how many pups you're going to have. [I'll roll a die, then post the stats in the appropriate board.] If the mother is force-bred, then I will decide if the breeding was successful or not.
[x] Pups should stay with their mother until they are old enough to survive on their own.
[x] Make sure both the mother and the father agree on how many pups they will each keep. The rest will be put up for adoption.
activity rules ;;
[x] If you don't post your bio within a week of joining, your account will be deleted. If you wish to come back and be active, just join again.
[x] You must post at least once every two weeks. Real life may be more important, but you must at least know what's going on around the site.
[x] Those with high positions should come on at least once a week; although, you should be coming on more often than that.
[x] Post when you're going away or if you're going to be inactive for a while so I don't think you forgot about the site.
rules for staff ;;
[x] Don't abuse your powers, please.
[x] All staff members will be chosen by me. If you wish to be one, PM me and I'll consider it.
[x] Just like any other member, you are susceptible to punishment.
[x] If you see someone not following the rules, give them a warning first. If they continue breaking the rules, they will be banned and given a warning in their profile, considering the severity of what they are doing. If they are still breaking the rules after this, depending on what they are doing, their account will most likely be deleted.
[x][/b] You cannot accept your own bios, but feel free to accept all others. Make sure they meet the requirements, though. Do not move the thread to the accepted sub-board until you have added the stats to the Taken Names, Gender/Elementals Stats, and Pack Stats.
[x] Keep in mind that you are an example to all other members.
[x] If I feel that you are not active enough, you will be notified with an e-mail. After that, you may be demoted.
[x] Now go out there and act as crazy as you want! >D
copyright rules & info ;;
[x] DO NOT STEAL! That includes posts, character names, graphics, ect. Do not take anything without the owner's/creator's/ect. permission.
[x] This site is copyrighted to me. [Like the skins, rules, ect.] I thought of all the info about the site; I made all the graphics, asked someone to make them for me, or used them from a site that allows anyone to use them; and I thought of all of my charries. Everything that someone made themselves, like their charries or graphics, are copyrighted to them. Do. Not. Steal.
[x] Don't take credit for something that isn't yours.
[x] Did I mention, no stealing? =P
*The codeword for your bio is avarice.
