The Rules

General

∞ This is a literate, intermediate to advanced roleplay, which means decent
posts are required. Proper grammar is a must. Chat speak, outside of e-mail's
and i.m., is not allowed. All entries, except the aforementioned, must be in
third person. It's cleaner writing and much easier to read and understand.

∞ I am not setting a post minimum, but at least two full paragraphs are
necessary. One liners are not acceptable, and a paragraph is not three
sentences. Each paragraph should have at least five to six sentences. This
really shouldn't be a problem for our intermediate role players; just think
about the five basic senses.

∞ As much as we hate to do this, we are making a character restriction. For
every two she-cats you have, one must be a tom. This is to
keep genders even. I mean, everyone needs a little lovin’, right?

Joining

∞ When creating an account, register with your name. Accounts registered with
babycakes38, gamer93, ponyluvr, call_me_daddy, etc. will be deleted immediately.

∞ You have two weeks to fill out a character application after joining. Otherwise, your
account will be deleted. There are also notes in the application; they're there
to help you. Read them. And the minimums are not suggestions, they are
serious. We count. Every time.

∞ You should have an avatar and signature. The signature doesn't have to be a
work of art, it can simply be two or three icons merged together. Also, no
stretching the page please - signatures will have a maximum of 480w x 375h.
And avatars will be 150w x 200h. If not possible, ask someone in the graphics
forum. We’d be happy to help.

In Character

∞ Once again, this is a literate, intermediate to advanced roleplay, which means
at least two full paragraphs are required. Proper grammar and posts must be
in third person. Again, just think about the five senses.

∞ No godmodding or powerplaying. Unless consent from the other player is
received, do not play for them at all.

∞ Now, I should't be saying this as everyone should know. But there will be
little kids on here, right? Ok, so no sexual things. We don't need to hear about
the breeding or the birthing process. Mkky?

∞ Use the spell check. As much as everyone makes mistakes, it is
irritating to read a post with spelling errors all over the place.

Out of Character

∞ Respect one another! I cannot stress this enough. We all have to remember
that there is an actual person on the other side of the computer screen.

∞ In the OOC boards and in the C-Box, I do not want to see any bad mouthing
or excessive cussing to one another. No one wants to watch people argue.
If there is a dispute you have to settle, take it somewhere else like PMs or
I.M., or bring it up with me.

Other

∞ If you've made it this far, put "May StarClan watch over us." where it says:
"Something more?"

∞ If you plan on going into a topic that already has a couple of people in it,
send a PM to the person who started the topic asking if you can join. Not
everyone likes having multiple people in one post. Also, when you do have a
thread going on with several people in it, wait for everybody to post before
you post again.

Have Fun!

Note: We reserve ourselves the right to add new rules at any given
moment. Sometimes we forget about something and we are only
reminded of it when it happens. It is your responsibility to check
and see if we have updated the rules.
