✚ BASIC RULES
1. Respect. Respect yourself, others, and anyone. I don't want to see fighting, arguing, name calling, ect. This will be one of hte fastest ways to get banned.
2. Staff's say is final. No arguing your point, after you got your answer. Also, please do not rant about it in our cbox, or our boards.
3. TOS. No graphic killing/sex/badthings. Also, you have to be over 13 to join. Do you want us shut down? No? Then be good and follow the rules. Swearing is fine ooc, ic, not so much. If you can't handle swearing, either ask the people swearing not to do it around you, or perhaps not join.
4. We are APC. Account per character. Every new character needs a new account. Please register your character's name, and edit it afterwards to all caps. No symbols, please. Also, yes, we'd like everyone to have an ooc account. PM's will go to this account, so please log into it once a day.
5. We do not have a character limit. Make as many as you want. Do not let them be inactive. Our monthly AC will be a place to drop them, yes, but why waste your creativity to create someone you won't play?
6. Stock. Images on the site have to be stock. You can get into trouble, serious legal trouble, for stealing an image, even if it's just a representation. Flickr, Deviantart, all offer images that are stock. No shutterstock or istock, due to the watermarks.
7. Queen or King. If you hold one, you CANNOT hold a God position. Vice versa as well. When auditions go up, you can try for both, but only one audition will be chosen. I expect these to be kept active.
✚ ROLEPLAYING RULES
1. We are a literate to advanced site. What does this mean? Simple, really. We expect decent grammar and excellent spelling from everyone. Now, we don't expect perfection, but we expect you to at least try. No chat-speak in an IC post, you know, stuff like that.
2. We have a word count minimum of 150 words per ic post. It's not much, you can do it. If you cannot, I'm sure we'll be glad to help.
3.Swearing IC is fine, but don't drop the 'f-bomb' every other word, okay? If someone asks you to stop using strong language, please respect them and stop.
4. Godmoding, powerplayng, no. No. You will get in trouble for this, and I need to say it, if you don't know what these are, please ask. We don't bite.
5. You may not post until your application has been approved by a staff member. This includes the plotting board/log board. You may post in the General Chat, but that is all.
6. Perfect characters will not be accepted. No one is without flaws.
7. Time. Two months IRL, real life, is about three months in the game. A season. Every two months we will change seasons, so keep an eye on that.
✚ CHARACTER RULES
1. No wild coat colors. No purple/pink/green, ect. however, odd eye colors are perfectly acceptable.
2. No metal/decorations please. Just, no please.
3. If you post a wip, put WIP in the title so staff knows.
4. DO NOT harass staff to accept your character. If we haven't gotten to it within 24 hours, please pm one of us or say something in the cbox. If you don't follow this rule, we will delay acceptance another 24 hours.
5. Three years of age is the min. for full grown adult on this site, for all species.
✚ ROMANCE RULES
1. No, you can't bring an already pregnant mare to the site, sorry.
2. I don't care what gender your pretty babies are, what they prefer, all sexualities and genders are accepted here.
3. However, two males cannot have foals with each other. They'd need a surrogate mommy.
4. No breeding under the age of 3 years.
5. You must have two threads with 5 posts each before you may apply for a foal. If you have a polyamorous group, two threads with each member of the relationship.
6. Staff will decide genetics. None of us are experts, so we'll do our best, but don't get angry, okay?
7. The due date will be 3 weeks after the app is posted
8. A foal will age quickly, and after one season, you have the option of having them a year old. However, you do not have to, you can let them age only three months at time if you'd like.
✚ CLAIMING/CHALLENGING rULES
1. A mare or stallion may claim one of the free lands. To do so, all you must do is post a land name and description along with your IC claim.
2. They must be at least 3 years old to claim land or herd-members.
3. When a claim is first laid, the owner will have 2 RL weeks of immunity. No challenges for land or members may be made.
4. When you claim a land, make it clear it is a claim of the Land. That way staff knows.
5. To challenge for a land or herd member, you have to make a post in the land of the owner you are challenging with a post that states who or what you are challenging for.
6. Fighting rules, are simple. Each person has three hits and two dodges, or less if so desired. They may use powers, they may not. It's up to you. At the end of the thread, staff will post who won, according to grammar, style, and how the attacks/dodges were preformed. This is only if the players have not pre-determined who won.
✚ aging rules RULES
1. No character before 1 year of age may be created, without a mother there to suckle it.
2. All characters will age. At the end of every IC year, bios will be updated and such to reflect those eight IRL months.
3. The maximum age for a horse ranges from 25 years to 30, depending.
