Okay Please follow these Laws at ALL TIMES!
General Rules
Thank You and Please Follow The Rules!!`
General Rules
- Please show respect to all staff members, members, and guests. This means minimal swearing, no flooding/spamming, and no ooc rudeness or fighting. Follow this one rule and we'll all get along splendidly.
- In accordance with the Proboards terms of service, do not post inappropriate images or graphic breeding. This one is a no-brainer for the majority, but I just want to make it absolutely clear that it will not be tolerated.
- Try to be as active as possible. If you are going to be gone, leave an away message in the absences board to let us know.
- Please make sure that your signature does not stretch the board, and it is also preferable if it isn't extremely tall as well. This is to ensure that when reading and writing posts, overly large signatures will not be a distraction.
Character Rules - You are allowed as many characters as you can keep active. For most this is usually 2-6, but again varies with different people. If you create more charries than you can keep active, you can always put them up for adoption or kill them off.
- All characters must have a bio, and their bio must be accepted by one of the staff before you can roleplay.
- Because this is a realistic wolf roleplay, no supernatural powers, mutations, or odd coloring will be allowed. Hybrids may be allowed, but ask a staff member for permission first. NOTE: Odd colors may be bought in the catalog.
- Please try to be original when you create a character. Not all white wolves will be beautiful and friendly, and not all black wolves will be sinister and bloodthirsty. You guys know the typical charries by now, so challenge yourself to try something different.
- If you have a mini plot you would like to have that is small, involves the main plot and only includes a couple members then you may post it in the Sub board in The Plot board.
In Character Posting Rules - There is a 200 word count minimum, not counting lyrics or other poetic twiddly bits. Be sure to use good spelling, grammar, and punctuation at all times, in and out of character.
- No power-playing or god-modeling, which means you cannot say what happens to another player's wolf, and your wolf may not be invincible or perfect.
- Your character is allowed to be in multiple threads at the same time, if you can handle it. The number of threads manageable at a time varies with each roleplayer, so be smart in your judgment of when enough it enough.
Pack Rules - If you wish to become part of a pack, post IC in the territory you wish to join and wait for an alpha to accept or decline your request.
- Alphas will have the power to choose their betas, hunters, etc, and may choose not to assign these positions at all.
- Alphas are claimable by males or females.
- Packs will not have alliances (light, dark, etc), but a pack led by a more sinister alpha may attract more sinister members, just as a more benign alpha may attract nicer members.
- You may challenge the current alpha for a pack once you have 20 posts, to prove your activity and loyalty to this site. Challenges will be judged like any other fight. Once the challenge is posted, the current alpha has 5 days to reply before the challenger wins by default, unless they alpha has posted an away note. If the challenger should win, they get a one week grace period before the land can be challenged for again. If they should lose, they must wait one month before challenging again.
- Alphas must be age 3 or higher
Fighting Rules - You may challenge another wolf to a fight for land, mates, personal grudge, etc, but be sure to pm a staff member as soon as the fight starts so that we can judge. Fights will be judged mostly on roleplaying skill, but also on what wolf has most smartly used the allotted attacks/dodges.
- If you are attempting to create a new Pack, well sorry your out of luck. No new packs allowed besides the Elite Pack.
- You are allowed three posts in a fight, one for introduction and the other two for the actual fight. You are allowed two attacks and one dodge in the fight.
Mating and Breeding - There are no restrictions on when you can breed and birth, but pups born in fall and winter are more likely to have health defects and less likely to survive because realistically this would be the case.
- When you are ready to birth, Please PM a Staff member and they will detirmine how many, what gender and how they appear [based upon the parents] so please, when you PM a staff member include the links to the two bios of the parents.
- Wolves cannot breed until the age of three.
- Rape is allowed, but no puppies can be born from it [unless permission has been given from a staff member] and it must be okay with both partners, who just can't rape someone randomly.
The Shop - You must have the correct amount of Dollars to buy whatever you want in the Shop.
- After you have found what item or trait or whatever you want to buy place a thread in the Board [not in the Iventory] and a staff member wil reply and be with you as fast as we can
- Whatever you buy can be for a new character or one you already have.
- The number of Dollars you have are based on posts, so the more you post the more Dollars you will get :3
Thank You and Please Follow The Rules!!`
