General:
* First things first, respect everyone. If everyone is dis-respecting everybody, how could this website be any fun? So, let's be respectful. This goes for the staff, members, and any guests that poke their heads into the forum.
*We are a one account per member forum. This means that you should have one account with all your characters under it. With that said, please make sure you keep updated with the 'Who plays who' section so we know what characters you are responsible for. You can also keep a character log.
*Once you have joined the forum, you will have 2 weeks to either post an application or in the leaving board before your account will be deleted. This is not to be rude, but we need to keep the website active and don't want any lurkers.
*The word of the staff is law. If they say no, it's no. It does not mean it can not happen later on, but for the time being, the answer is no and please don't hassle them about their decision.
*Due to the rules of Proboards, you must be at least 13 years old to role-play on this forum. Because of this, all OOC and IC must be kept PG-13. If you wish to get more graphic in what you are doing, take it to the Pm's. But, for now, all breeding/birthing must be fade to black, and fighting must be less graphic.
Images:
*As you have probably already noticed, we have two images on this forum. One is a hover image which should be 200 x 350 in size. Please make sure it is sized correctly or the mini-profile will be all wonky. You can edit this photo by going to Edit Profile -> Personal (tab) -> Hover Image Just simply copy and paste your URL into that space. You will also see a music tab. That is where you can copy and paste a song that represents your character. The second image is the original 150 x 150 Proboards avatar. You can edit that by going to Edit Profile -> Avatar -> Upload/Link Avatar, again please make sure it is sized correctly or the avatar will look wonky. If you PM a staff, they will be more than happy to help you out.
*All images used in your profile, application, ect must be properly credited. With that said, we ask that you get your images from Flickr or DeviantArt. Flickr is easy to use since all you have to do is search under the CC (Creative Commons) license, so I personally think it's the best. Deviant Art, you must follow all the rules of the artist you are taking it from.
*We are a semi-realistic forum, therefore we ask that all photographs used on the forum are photographs. No drawings, anime, ect. Unless it is used in the "sit back and relax' board.
Posting:
*All IC posts must reach a word count of 150 words at the very least.
*You must post in the IC at least once a week. If you have a high ranked character, twice a week. If you have not posted in the leaving board and have not posted, you will be punished accordingly. First week, you will be PM'd/emailed by the staff and warned of inactivity. Second week, you will be banned for 2 weeks from the forum. Third week, you will permanently be banned from the forum and your characters put up for adoption. If you wish to rejoin, you can always email an admin and they will discuss it from there.
*No chat speak in any of the boards. You may use slight chat-speak in the shoutbox, but please do not make it so crazy that we can't understand you.
*Liquid time is allowed. Just don't go overboard to where you cannot handle it.
*Absolutely no power-playing or god-modding. Simply just don't try to control another persons character and remember yours is not perfect and can dodge every attack. Just try to be realistic. For further description PM a staff if you need to.
*Characters may enter lands they are not allowed on, but they risk being claimed by the horse in charge.
Characters:
*Only equines are allowed to be created and role-played on the forum.
*There is no character limit, so make no more characters than you can handle.
*Keep them realistic, no strange markings or colors.
*All characters created on site must be at least 2 years old. No younger or pregnant characters may be created.
*Characters must be killed off appropriately. No horse may live over 20 years of age.
*All characters will age a year in the spring.
*Each member may have one high rank at a time to keep it fair.
*We are a one account per member. All characters must be kept under the same account.
Breeding:
*Characters must be at least 3 years old to breed.
*PG-13 content, you must fade to black during breeding and birthing.
*Spring and summer foalings will have a better chance of surviving than fall and winter foalings. However horses may breed any season they wish.
*Mares are pregnant for 1 full season. (Summer-Spring, Fall-Winter, and so on)
*Staff will determine the traits, appearance, and gender of the foal. Parents of the foal can determine a single trait and the name(s.)
*To breed, the potential parents must have a total of 3 completed threads together.
Herds:
*To claim a land, a mare/stallion must be 3 years old and the role-player must have 50 IC posts and 2 other horses (preferably mares).
*When creating a herd, you may choose 2 of the free lands. PM a staff to group them together as that herds land.
*Stallions and mares can be stolen.
*Stallion and the lead mare can fight to defend the herds hierarchy from attackers.
*Force Claiming can be done in any of the herd lands.
*The leader of the herd must keep a log of the herd in the 'herd information' board. It must be kept in check, along with a date when it was last updated.
*If the herd leader falls in active, he/she will lose their rule and it will be up for anyone in or outside the herd to take.
Claiming/Stealing:
*Fights of any kind will be done in the Lost Valley.
*If a horse within a fight does not post within 5 days, the other horse automatically is the winner of the battle.
*PM a staff member so that they can judge the winner of the fight.
*You must have at least 100 posts to steal from another herd or steal a land from the lead.
*When stealing a mare/stallion from a herd, you must post in the 'Stealing board' under herd information. The title of the thread must be "----wishes to steal ---- from
---" The lead of the herd has a 5 days to post "Block" in the thread. When he/she does, a staff member will roll 2 dice for each horse. The horse that has the largest some wins the horse that is being stolen. However if the lead of the herd does not block the steal within 5 days, the horse is automatically given to the thief.
