Basic Forum Rules
English
You MUST be able to write in English. That means that use of proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization is a REQUIREMENT to play here. If English is your second language, we still require a literate amount of knowledge so your posts can be understood. Also no one liners nor two liners. Each and every roleplay post must be one whole paragraph, which is 5-8 sentences or 100 words usually. At the very least.
And no spamming. Post in the correct board for everything. Adverts go in the "Advertising" board, questions go in the "Questions" board, etc. If you're new to the site and don't know where to post something, PM a staff member, or post in the "Questions" board -- we'll help you. This also calls for the rule of no double-posting. Just hit the "Edit" button and add what you need to.
Display name/username
It's recommended that your username matches your character name, but if not be sure to change your 'Display Name' in your profile.
You may make up to five characters at first, but you must be active with ALL of them! If you can keep up with them and want to make one or two more, please kindly ask a staff member and we talk it over based on your performance. We have the right to say yes or no.
The Lady and the Lord are NPC'S, or non-playable characters. If there is a need for them, the staff will make the appearance, but even they do not own the character.
Images
I would prefer Icons to be 100x100, but any size will do if it DOES NOT STRETCH THE BOARD.
As for Signatures, Size I don't have a preference for, just nothing enormous please, and likewise, DON'T STRETCH THE BOARD. If it does Staff will remove it!
Farewells
If you're leaving for any reason, whether permanently or temporarily, please let us know in the Farewell board.
Role Play Rules
Powerplay and godmodding.
During posts you should never take control over what another character is doing, though if you're concerned about some slight powerplay in a post, check with the person you're RPing with. Godmodding your characters at any point is strictly forbidden, so don't make your character out to be better than anyone else.
How to post
Posts should always be written in third-person and in the past tense. So for example, instead of "I run to the door" you should put "She ran to the door".
Your posts must be in Third Person, with pronouns like "she", "he", "it", "his", "hers", etc. and be in past tense, like "ran", "saw", "cooked", etc. No first person. No present tense unless your character is thinking.
She jumped over the fence to try and save her friends.
or
While eating, he almost fell out of his chair with laughter. How funny!, he thought. (Please have thoughts Italicized in the post.)
These are both correct forms of how the standard format of your roleplay post should be presented, though feel free to incorporate your writing style and whatever decoration you feel is needed -- we are, by no means, trying to change the way you write or how long your posts can be.
To avoid confusion, we would also like to see your best grammar and correct spelling, as well as justifiable forms of punctuation. Obviously "Let's eat Grandma" and "Let's eat, Grandma" has two different meanings, and we'd like for what you're trying to display in your posts to reach out to us. It's okay if you mess up every now and again, of course. We're only human, and we all make mistakes.
In a battle, not all hits will miss, not all hits will land. Keep it fair! If you must, flip a coin to decide.
Mature content.
No mature content is allowed anywhere on the site, preferably not even in PM. This means that whilst your characters are welcomed and encouraged to have relationships, please don't write anything explicit. Imply what is happening, or let it fade to black and pick up after the fact. Please also remember that pups are not born the next post, give them time to grow in the womb. Since the real period for pups to remain in the mother is sixty to sixty three days, so please have the wolf be pregnant for an actual month from the day of conception to have them give birth, and please try not to be too graphic about it. As for them growing, it takes four weeks for them to be able to eat food regurgitated from their mother, so please wait two weeks. At six weeks, they are weaned, so wait three weeks after they can eat regurgitated food. At six months they are sat in a safe place while the adults go and hunt, so roughly two to three months after being born here, and say another two weeks before they can go and join the hunts, and so forth. The mother of the pups will play them until they are either taken by other users or at least until they are a month old. (when they are slowly being weaned, about a week after they can eat regurgitated food)
Please also remember this is a WAR. There will be death, blood, and gore (just not too much of that last one). Please however do not kill a character without the user's permission, and please don't do it for no reason.
About cussing.. Please do not do it excessively, and no major words such as the F word, we all know that word.. C word, (please ask staff if you don't know), I also ask you not to use 'shit', but instead common words, such as; hell, damn, bastard, and ass. 'Bitch', is allowed but seeing as how this is a wolf roleplay and the actual definition of it is female dog, not really, an insult, unless I guess you want to say you're insulting the wolf by calling them a dog, less than a wolf, whatever.. This also includes in the C-box!! The forbidden words include there too.
Cbox Rules
Make a Chat Account
Please have your username in the chatbox match the username you sign up with so we know who you are, so please have an actual name, not mrpickles123..
Never impersonate staff or any users! You will be banned! It's not funny or cute, so DON'T DO IT.
You should never give out your personal information. This includes in chat. Conversations that are just too personal, are not allowed. If there is something you really need to talk about, take it to PM. Please Avoid making up things that aren't true.
Sexting or sexual harassment is not only against the proboards terms of service, but also our rules here. Anyone seen acting sexually inappropriate on chat will be banned. Friendly flirting is okay so long as you are not making anyone on chat feel uncomfortable, and use common sense, not just in this case either, always use common sense.
Advertising
You are not allowed to advertise other sites in the chat box. This means no links to other sites either. There is an advertising board for such things.
Fighting and General Behavior
Be respectful and friendly at all times in chat, regardless of the conversation topic. Fighting is not tolerated, and if you should have an issue with the way someone is behaving in chat please PM a staff member.
Warnings
Everyone starts with a blank slate of five chances. During your first two violations of rule-breaking, you will get warnings. If you break the rules a third time, we have the right to strip away your most active character or a canon character. If you break the rules a fourth time, we will take all of your characters away from you and ban you from the site for a month. On your fifth and last offence, you will be banished and banned from this site forever, never to return.
Listen to Staff at all times, fore we are the rulers of this roleplay, and we hereby declare that we are able to add or remove rules as we wish.
Above all, just have fun, okay? ^_^
