Yep. The infamous rules. These are a must-read for all players.
General- Be respectful and considerate towards your fellow members. If you have a problem with someone, bring it up with a staff member.
- Although cursing is allowed (for the moment), please keep it tasteful. We don't want to see a player or character running about swearing up a storm of f-bombs. If this privilege is abused, we will take it away.
- No chatspeak. It's frightening and makes you appear immature.
Characters- You can have as many characters as your heart desires. That is, as long as you can keep them active by posting with them at least once a week.
- Yes you must wait to have your character accepted by a staff member before role-playing with them.
- Foals mature (become adults) when they become three years old. They can then wander off from their parents or home, claim land, and produce offspring.
- Stallions may claim land but mares can't. Stallions may also make their own set of rules if they are the leader of that territory.
- Characters will age once per year in Mystic Falls (one year=one real-life month).
- Although mares cannot claim land, the lead mare may take charge with permission of the lead stallion/if he dies. If force-claimed, the mare must go with the stallion.
Posting- You must post at least once a week to be considered active. Please let us know if you're going to be away for some time by leaving a note in the Away board.
- Although we welcome all level of role-players, we do have a word-posting minimum. 100 words should be good (it's easy, believe me). No one likes one-liners (they're hard to reply to)!
- Power playing and god-moding are not allowed or accepted. If you're not too sure as to what they are, please check out the FAQ.
- No extremely bright or hard to read fonts.
Breeding and Foaling- Characters can breed only in Genaida.
- Breeding is done in the summer and autumn while foaling is only in spring and winter. Remember, there are lower survival rates and higher risks for decencies for those born in winter.
- No graphic breeding or birthing.
- Once done posting, please post the mare's and stallion's stats (there will be a form to use in there if wanted).
- Staff will determine the foal's stats and date of birth (a week).
- The mare can birth the foal a few days ahead or after the week seeing as mares in real life are hardly ever on time.
Fighting- Power playing and/or god-moding is an automatic loss for the offender.
- The participating members may set up the fighting guidelines in their first posts (or have a set agreement beforehand).
- Staff members will select the winner judging on (but not limited to) attacks, wounds, and post quality.
- If your challenge isn't answered within a week (it doesn't count if the player is on vacation and left a note), then you win by default.
Other- Signature image cannot be bigger than 500 pixels wide and 500 pixels tall. Also, no inappropriate images or links may be in signatures.
- Each season lasts one real-life week. Therefore, each year is one real-life month.
- Have fun!
