! GENERAL RULES.
1. Respect is a primordial key in this community. Respect and you will be treated nicely. If you don't respect, you will be warned at the first time. If at the second time you don't respect, you will be given a 48h ban. At the third time, you will be given a 74 hour IP and registration ban. If you continue to do it you will be permanently banned.
2. Cursing is allowed yet do not abuse of this rule. It is allowed both IC and OOC, and in the Shout box. Yet again, with moderation.
3. If you suddenly go away, tell us first. If you don't log in to your account in a two week period without explanation it will automatically be eligible for a warning and/or deletion.
4. Please keep a 300 word minimum in all IC posts. If you're stuck, listen to music, or do something to get your muse back! (: If you cannot reach this word minimum, then this roleplaying site may be too advanced for you. We will recommend tutorials and tips for your roleplaying muse, however.
5. Liquid time is allowed. Be in as much threads you'd like. But, our recommendation? Less than 4 threads per character at the same time. But you can be in many threads at the same time as you can handle.
6. Proper grammar is required IC and OOC. Please, proof read what you are writing and check any words that you don't know about in a dictionary. Please bold all speech, and italicize all thoughts. Put the word count total on the OOC part of your post.
7. No God-moding, no power playing, don't control other characters except your own. No mini-moding as well; if a problem occurs OOC, do not go on and enforce the rules yourself. Just screenshot the situation and we will handle it. Also, you cannot roleplay with yourself, unless you have two different characters. Someone MUST reply in both cases. However the only way this is allowed is when you buy an animal companion and you RP with yourself to tame it; you must write [DNR] (Do not reply) in the title.
8. Please tolerate ALL views and opinions, no matter how hard they seem to comprehend. You are free to RESPECTFULLY talk about any topics, but no opinion bashing or no fighting over opinions. Everyone is an individual with personal beliefs, and we will really expect respect from this community.
! USER RULES.
1. One account per character. Yes, that means that you have to re-register every time you want to create a new character [no new email needed] Please keep a thread in the Biographies board in which you will post all your character's tables, and inside those tables you will post their information. Change the character form however you like in that Biography board; add colors, spacing, add more information, etc. Make the new thread in the Breath of Life section, and once it is accepted, it will be moved to accepted characters.
2. Due to the new one account per character rule, it is required that your account name and is the name of your wolf. If you registered under the old rule, then simply change your name. When people tag you, they should use your old username. This new rule is to make it easier for the staff to assign ranks to pack wolves.
3. Signature limit is 400x100, and image size limit is 500x400 or less! Although the forum automatically reduces image sizes, please do not exceed the limit.
4. Avatar size limit is 150x150.
5. There is no current character limit, yet if we see many unactive characters we will be forced to make it a product in the store.
! CHARACTER RULES.
1. To clear up something, I will tell you this: we permit odd eye colors and markings. The thing is, the character must be of a natural color. If it has unnatural color markings, it is permitted, but the base color of the character must be natural. As an example: A black timberwolf with red markings and eyes. The only way the entire coat can be of an unnatural color is by purchasing the pass on the store.
2. Character names cannot be repeated. Each character will have its own name. This is to avoid confusion between characters. Before creating a character, make sure to check out the accepted characters and verify if your desired name is not taken.
3. Piercings and accessories are not allowed; remember that humans are non existent. However, you can purchase this pass in the store, and you won't have to explain how those got there.
4. No unnatural characters, no perfect ones, no gods, no immortals, no fantasy-themed characters. Just natural wolves with some distinct markings allowed. Natural deformities are allowed, and so are mental and physical illnesses. As an example of deformities: A wolf with weird proportions or a missing limb. An example of illness: A wolf with bipolar disorder.
5. There are some species that can be gained through contests. Be on the look out!
6. Pups can be played after one month after they are born; they will be actually two months old.
7. Once you finish your post, please tag the person who is replying next. How can you do this? Simply put @ and the username, not the display name, of the person. Example:
8. The character password is BUTTERSCOTCH.
! FIGHTING RULES.
1. Fighting or challenging is free of charge. Every user has the right to do so.
2. To be fair, unlimited attacks and three dodges per user. Use them wisely and remember to write your moves openly so the other RP'er can freely decide if their character dodged or received the attack. As an example:
RP'er 1. Shadow attempted to bite Lightning's ear, because it was his only option at the moment.
RP'er 2: Lightning managed to quickly dodge the attack as soon as he saw the incoming maw.
What not to do:
RP'er 1: Shadow bit Lightning's ear, ripping his ear off from his skull.
RP'er 1 just power played and controlled the other character's actions.
3. You can fight for any reason, really: challenging an Alpha, for a mate, for territory, family issues, or just for fun. However, if you want your fight to be official, PM any staff member with the link to the thread, and the staff will monitor and evaluate the fight for you.
4. Fights are not monitored much by brute strength alone; agility alone can win a fight. We will analyze the fight and determine a winner in order of a few criteria.
5. If a fight thread is opened, do not post as a spectator. It will make everything much harder to monitor. Only the challenger and the challenged.
6. Here's the catch. In order to challenge an Alpha character, you must have at least one month of activity after registration.
7. The challenged character has only one week starting from the day the challenge thread was posted in order to reply. If the challenged does not reply, the challenger will automatically win by default. However, if you have posted an away note, it can be put on hold until you can reply. But please notify everyone involved in this, including the staff that will monitor your fight.
! BREEDING RULES
1. Don't make very graphic breeding threads, just write the essential things, no need to be all... graphic. It is also a violation of Proboards Rules and ToS so it's a big no-no. You can go into details of the thought of the wolf and such, or go with the Blackout method, which is preferred.
2. Once your female character is impregnated, you have to wait two months in order for your pups to be born. You will claim your pups once the thread is done. After it is done, each parent will fill up the litter form and post it in a thread. We will determine the quantity and qualities of your puppies based on the parents' traits, like coat colors, personalities, illnesses and other traits. Remember that sometimes, nature can be cruel and puppies can be born stillborn. Be prepared for anything.
3. You will be given a birthing date. Be sure to post in that date given. If you will not be able to post please PM the staff that gave you the statistics about your problem. If after three days a birthing post is not made, the pups will miscarry. Please be responsible with this rule.
3. If you are in a pack, then permission to mate is at the mercy of the Alphas. If they decide that it is not okay for your characters to mate, it is no. Depends on the Alphas, just like nature.
4. Pups can be role-played at three months. After that, age it three months per changing season until they reach a year old; after this, you can age them whenever you want.
5. A pup character's biography before being a year old can be 100 words minimum. After reaching a year old, the word count on the biography has to go up to the standard minimum.
6. Sexual maturity is two years old. Males can breed whenever they want, however females are limited to two litters per year. This is to ensure realistic traits in the forum.
7. Forced breeding or rape is allowed, however the forced breeding must be agreed upon the two RP'ers before creating the thread. Remember that forced breeding may or may not end up in pregnancy; if you wish to have pups, just claim them like any other pup claiming after breeding. Also, do not make it graphic. The blackout rule also applies here.
! PACKS.
1. Alphas can be both female or male, or an Alpha pair.
2. Once a pack claim is made, and the alpha is established, make sure to create a thread with all the info regarding your pack inside the main board. We will sticky it.
3. Packs can range in numbers and in species; this site is semi-realistic, so half-dogs or different wolf species can coexist in a pack.
4. Alphas decide if members of their pack can mate or not.
5. An Alpha must assign a character to help him or her with certain duties, such as telling the alpha there is a new member expecting approval; more or less an investigation on the expecting character and bring them to the Alpha. The Alpha will be responsible of accepting new characters.
6. Packs have the authority of injuring your character if you trespass their territory without permission. Read the rules to every pack before suiciding your character.
7. We recommend to any pack leader that every three months they hold a general RP thread where the leader summons all the pack members in a meeting to see who is still part of the pack; its an activity check but with 250 word minimum for each character. This is a fun way for all the characters of the pack to interact with each other.
8. If the Alpha wants to quit, he or she has to offer the pack to the Beta. If not, the pack will be offered in the store for someone to buy the rights to it. If no one buys it in a period of two weeks, the pack will be disbanded.
9. The pack has to claim a land. There are four claimable territories and roaming lands. However, remember that Eiran is a large territory and it will keep expanding. More lands will appear, so you can buy pack creation in the store and create a new pack in the new lands. Once the Alpha claims, the interested characters will reply to that thread responding to the claim of the Alpha and joining.
10. Once the claiming thread, alpha and founding members are established, the Alpha will make a thread in the main board stating the pack information, such as rules, beliefs, etc. You will PM me or any staff to pin the thread so it will always be on top.
1. Respect is a primordial key in this community. Respect and you will be treated nicely. If you don't respect, you will be warned at the first time.
