The Rules « Thread Started on Oct 9, 2009, 7:04pm »
General
1.) NO Power playing! This means controlling other characters actions. (ex: The femme turned to strike the stag and hit him with full force. The stag squealed in pain and fell to the ground... Not fair huh?
2.) NO God modding. This means making your character indestructible, or god like. (ex: The femme struck at the stag with her might dagger, then turned to bite him, striking him right on the rump. The stag only flinched, not feeling a thing he turned and killed the mare. Seriously? Not Fair...
3.) This is an intermediate to advanced RPG so i am expecting no one liners. I also have a minimum post rate of 150 words. And please use the spell check! I hate a post filled with misspelled words!
4.) Cursing is allowed OOC and IC, but if your post contains a lot of cursing please put a [R] In your thread tittle, and no curse words in a thread tittle. It just doesn't look good.
5.) If you are planning to be away for more that a week please post in the away board. And if you are returning to IM after an absence please say so. I do not want to delete players if they are not gone!
6.) NO talking back to Staff, what we say goes. We have first middle and last say in everything.
7.) Please do not carry an IC fight or disagreement into OOC. If you must fight, do it through PM.
8.) Please only have 2 pictures in your signature. If you would like more you can make clickable tabs or put links in them. If a pic stretches the page at all you may be asked to remove it or have it re-sized. If you do not do this i will remove it for you.

Posting
1.) As i said before please keep posts to a 150 word minimum. If it is any less it will be deleted by me without warning. If you do it again you will be warned. A third time includes being banned for 3 days. After five times of doing this you will be deleted without warning.
2.) Please post in size 1 for every post it does not matter.
3.) When posting OOC while you are still IC, please indicate that you are (putting an ooc before you go into ooc, and IC when going back into character. Something like that, as long as you let us know when you are talking out of character).
4.) There is no swearing in thread titles. There are some people's parents who will flip if they see it, so any swear word in a title will be changed by a staff member.
5.) Liquid time is allowed. (meaning time can fly)
6.) It can be anytime of season in your thread. And it is breeding and birthing season all of the time.
Character Creation
1.) After you have found the password for the joining board you may create a character.
2.) You absolutely have to be accepted by a staff member before starting a thread. If you do not wait you may be punished. Also, check back and see if a staff member has asked you to change anything, once it is changed you will be accepted.
3.) You may have as many character as you want. Just be sure they all stay active!
4.)You may make horse hybrids, mules, donkeys, or even zebra's. you may also make mini horses. But make sure you out the right heights and everything for them. Anything under 14.2hh is considered a pony. You may make ponies, but make sure to put the right heights.
5.) If you would like to add a picture please put it at the top of the page.
6.) When creating a character, you must follow the form provided (as with all forms), but you may add things to it.
7.)You may make horse hybrids, mules, donkeys, or even zebra's. you may also make mini horses. But make sure you out the right heights and everything for them. Anything under 14.2hh is considered a pony. You may make ponies, but make sure to put the right heights. As goes with wolves, they can be wolf hybrids, or you can make dogs. But please no small dog breeds, they wouldn't survive in real life.
8.) I would like for you to know the basics of horses and dogs/wolves before joining.. And please no 80 inch tall dogs.... ridiculous.
9.) The tallest height allowed for horses is 19.3 hands, and for dogs/wolves it is 35 in.
10.) NO cannibalistic or vampire blood sucking characters. They can be very dark and want to do it, but just don't make them actually do it, (in history or present)
11.) NO Magic powers. You may buy powers from the store, but you can not make a character with them.
Graphics
1.) Please do not use google or any other search engine for your pics. I would like to see them from either DA (deviant art) or Flickr. And make sure they are stock.
2.) Please post a link to where you got the picture, below it.
3.) Using pics that are not stock risks getting you into trouble as well as me and the staff because we allowed you to use those pictures.
4.) Again, please check and make sure that the person who hosted the pic allows you to use them elsewhere.
Fighting
1.) Stallions and mares may fight each other or the same gender.
2.) A stallion will not always win against a mare.
3.) Fights are judged off of equine stats, age, health, and the role-players ability to role play
4.) You have 3 dodges and 6 hits. Meaning you can hit the opponent 6 times and dodge 3 of their moves.
5.) A fight is judged by me, the Admin, and Giulani, Admin.
6.) Foals may not fight until they are 1 year of age,
7.) Fights can happen anywhere as long as you notify me of where they are.
8.) There is a point system when judging a fight, highest point is 5. The person with the most points wins the fight.
Claiming
1.) When a mare or stallion wishes to be claimed you must post in the outlawed lands. And your post should consist of 200+ words.
2.) A stallion may claim any mare as long as they agree to it. If not then you must move on. (unless the other character agrees to it)
3.) When foals want to be adopted they also need to post in the outlawed lands.
4.) All of these rules go for wolves/dogs as well.
5.) When you are claiming land i would like a 250+ word post. And i will decide weather i accept or not.
Birthing And Breeding
1.) Breeding and birthing may be graphic as long as you put a [R] or [X] in your thread.
2.) Breeding and birthing may occur anywhere. Just as it would in real life.
3.) Only a staff member may create your foal/pup. You can name it, but we determine the gender/color/height of your baby.
4.) Wolves may have up to 2 pups per litter. Horses can have twins but again it is up to us staff and it is random. If you only want 1 foal/pup let us know.
5.) Please post both parents stats in the Baby Board under the Joining Board, and us staff will post info on the baby shortly after.
6.) Please use the right form, you should see it when you enter the Baby Board. Also, please do not beg me for anything, it is all random. Just as it should be.
7.) If a unicorn breeds with a Pegasus the baby may com out with both horns and wings. Same goes with wolves, but again it is random! And i will give that out as i see fit.

One more i forgot to add. Dogs, Woves and wolf hybrids are all apart of one pack. I do not have seperate packs for all wolves/dogs/hybrids... Kind of the same with Equines. Ponies join Horse herds...
As well, When Unicorns/Pegasus fight regular Equines/Canines they shall have no advantage. I will be judging things fairly. So in other words don't feel at a disadvantage, it's not based upon who is more hurt it is based upon RP skill and other things. =)
