Oh boy, it's been about two years since I've updated the rules! We have some updated rules here below, so take a look. (:
General.
» Respect. Members must respect everyone on this site, no matter their race, religion, age, gender, orientation, etc.
» Swearing is fine in character, but don't go around dropping f-bombs everywhere. It's rude and distasteful, and you look like a fool. Try to avoid swearing outside of character.
» No god-modding or power playing. You only control your own character, unless you have permission from the owner. Don't kill off other characters unless you have permission as well.
» Credit your photos if you have a picture in your signature or character profile. Refrain from using photos with copyrights on them.
» This is an equine role play. Humans aren't allowed in the actual RP, only in the histories. The same rule applies for wolves and side animals.
» Use correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. I know not everyone is perfect at it, but try your best. Use complete sentences, capitalize your I's, etc. It's easier on everyone. Also, no chat speak in or out of character (out of character is fine if you use it sparingly).
» Post around the same amount as the last reply. I understand this site has a lot of beginner RPers, but you need to try! People have a hard time replying to posts that are only fifty words long! If you have to, ask for help on how to make your posts longer! Think about your character's surroundings, their thoughts, actions, ect.!
Characters.
» Members may have unlimited characters. Characters may be put into 'storage' if you don't have a place for them to go.
» This is a semi realistic role play. Characters must be real to their breed (i.e. height, colors, etc.). No fantasy, magic, odd colors, etc. For side characters, only North American animals are allowed.
» Horses may only be one alliance, but they are allowed to switch sides. Alliances can interbreed, and Neutrals may live in any of the alliance lands.
» Non-equine characters must live with an equine, not on their own land. Wolves obviously have their own separate area on the board, so this rule does not apply to them. However, if a wolf does not live in the pack area, (s)he must live with an equine. All characters are allowed to breed and have friends and families.
Breeding and Foaling.
» Force breeding is not allowed unless the mare's owner agrees to it. Mares may escape, inflict damage, etc.
» Breeding and foaling may take place anywhere and there must be some sort of instance where the pair actually mates. This does not have to be in detail (and I prefer it not be; graphic breeding is not allowed), it can be as simple as "the pair disappeared into the brush, reappearing a while later", etct.
» Horses must be at least three to breed and foal. This includes both mares and stallions.
» In order to have a foal, both the owner of the sire and dam must post the form in the Foaling board. This is so twins stay rare, and that babies have possibly colors according to the parents. This also keeps track of all foals born in the game, and the foal and mare's condition due to the birth.
Herds and Fighting.
» Stallions must be at least three to fight or claim land. Only stallions may claim land; mares can lead the herd.
» Members are only allowed up to one territory. And no, I will not create land for you.
» Stallions may challenge for land, or anything else they please. If in three days and the owner does not respond to the challenge, the stallion is allowed to claim said object of their desire.
» Mares, stallions, and foals are allowed to fight. Mares and foals cannot fight for land.
