ŢĤÊ ЯŮĽËŠ
If you choose to disobey these rules, than I shall have a talk with you. If you break these rules, I have the right to report you to the proper authorities, and laugh at you. Thats right, I can laugh at you. So here goes...
Ğeneral Īnfo - JUST because there are 30 + people on the forum doesn't mean you can't join! We are always looking for new members!
- Avatars can be anything you like obviously- but don't use one if someone else already is. I tell people apart partly because of their avatar, so I don't want to get people mixed up! The standard avatar size is 100 x 100, but you can change the size in your profile
- Signatures shouldn't exceed a width of 420px please! Stretching looks horrible on a board, if you've noticed. The same goes with images- if I see a large image, I'll probably resize it.
Õut öf Çharacter - Respect the other members on the forum please. Do not use any racist or sexist coments either. If you have a problem with one of our members, please notify the staff. Flaming or harassment of any kind is prohibited.
- Glad I got the tough stuff down. Anyway, don't double post! Well, if you do, why can't you just add it to the post you made above? There's a magical button called 'modify.'
-Do not spoil the book for people who haven't read as far as you. How would you like it if I told you that Firepaw's name was going to be Fireheart? Yeah, I bet you'd be heartbroken. Just heartbroken.
- Gah, no explicit words or images, yada yada yada. We don't want them here, we don't care for them, and if you do then there is some kind'a problem with ya!
Ŝigning Ǔp - Your name must be appropriate. Don't use numbers to the likes, they make my eyes burn. You should have a reasonable name- I don't care if you do something like {J}inx, but don't do 1337jinXhax! Also, use different names than everybody else. Not all names are awesome (think of Heavystep and Loudbelly), and adding weird names like that makes the game seem more realistic.
- You don't have to ask to sign up, you'll always be allowed! Feel free to make a thread once you sign up so that other members can welcome you!
-Well, you obviously have to create a character to RP, but don't just start right away. When you create a character I'll move their bio if they have been accepted. If they haven't been accepted in a while, go over your character's profile for any spelling or grammatical errors, and expand your bio.
-Don't ask to become a leader, deputy or medicine cat if there already is one. That tells me you didn't read the clan ranks, you didn't read these rules, and that you have some kind of problem.
-If you wish to become a deputy, or medicine cat, take it up with your clan leader first before asking me please!
-Powers are restricted to their clan (there will be a list). PM me if you want to request a personal power.
- You can only control a total of 5 main characters, and if you chose so you must imply that your character is different (change text color for each character, say MyChacater: yada yada yada, be creative!) If you are active in ALL of them, then you may have more.
- Loners and Rogues do not count as your main 5. If you are active and use all of your characters, you can have as many of them as you want.
- You can have two main characters with high positions, as long as they're in different clans.
-When posting an image for your character, try to avoid big-cat images, like leopards and tigers. Actually, DO NOT post images like that. This leads to unrealistic gameplay. We're warrior cats, not warrior panthers.
- Do not ask to become a moderator; it gets too confusing.
Řoleplaying - Moons are usually doubled, but I'll remind you when a gathering is coming up. It mostly depends on site activity.
- Use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. Be literate! See our Literate Guide for more information.
- PLEASE don't use first or second person while roleplaying! It's so annoying... First person is when you use the word "I". Second person is "you". You can use first person if your charrie is thinking, but not for an entire post. • DO NOT: "I padded over to the fresh-kill pile..." or "You padded over to the fresh-kill pile..." • DO: "She/He padded over to the fresh-kill pile..." • OKAY: "I'm hungry, she thought to herself."
- There is no restriction on the length of a post. If it makes sense to only put, "She decided to sleep", and post, then thats fine. But try to be a bit more lengthy.
- All of your characters should be put into your siggy or description some way or another. If they aren't, I'll be very annoyed and angry that you didn't read the rules. I always know.
- If you wish to become pregnant, do not explain to the world how you did so. It's ok to be romantic with your characters, but please - no R (or above) rated content.
- If you have kits and don't wish to roleplay them, please make a post in the 'Wanted/Adoptable' board. If no one wishes to play them, no one has to. Kits that you do not roleplay do not count towards your total character count.
- Even if nothing is happening, please participate in the plot. Just because there is nobody on doesn't mean you can't post.
- Don't create weird prophecies that affect the entire clans, unless you're a leader or medicine cat. People will just get annoyed. For personal prophecies, please PM me about it first. But remember it's no fun when everyone has all their personal prophecies... not to mention confusing. I discourage them.
