these rules were written by moony :3
M a i n R u l e s
- No--swearing, no inappropriateness, no sexual content, impersonating, stealing, and everything under PG-13.
- Do not reveal your home phone number and home address.
- Try your best to be optimistic, and not be a wanna-be-emo, pessimist, and a jerk. Our friendly members/admins are willing to help out nicely with a smile. =)
- Avatars shouldn't exceed 100x100 pixels. Signatures no larger than 500x250 pixels. They stretch page badly.
- For high ranked positions, once it's past 2 weeks without any roleplaying and if you haven't logged on during those time, without a warning, your characters will be in idle mode. Where it's most likely to get replaced and be ignored due to inactiveness.
- New accounts not active past the first few days are deleted. Accounts who are past then 2 months without any activity and without a warning will be deleted.
R P R u l e s
- This is a literate site, with no 'tlk tlk', abbreviations, and distracting/awful spelling/grammar. I also understand many have writer's block or a loss of muse--but please try your best to get at least 300 characters for an RP. Make sure it's a REAL RP too.
Additional Note: There is a word counter under the spell check and preview buttons below your posts. We enforce a strict 75 word minimum per post. Its really not that hard, ladies.
- No post should all be in 'thought' mode unless in dreams, journal, those kind of things.
- Post in literate paragraph form. "Quotation marks" around a dialogue. Those obvious rules.
- 3rd person rule; past tense rule
- No godmoding/powerplaying; do not control other characters out of your ownership, do not make your character invincible, and do not make your character 'the best.'
- Individual characters are not allowed to be in more than two or three threads at a time. This is a realistic RP; cats can't be in four places at once, now can they? Try to keep it down to a thread at a time.
- Liquid Time- there is no real Liquid time, you cat can't get pregnant in one thread and give birth the same day in another. if you start a thread and you cat is injured in that thread, you can't post a thread after that were your cat is perfectly healthy. Rule added by Snakey
- Our OOC board is different from our Rp Boards [ic board]. Do RP in our Rp Boards, do chat in our OOC boards. If you are doing an outside RP, like that's not Warriors or something, OOC and PM [one on one] is the way to go.
- Bios should be realistic, kit-free, queen-free, and must be approved by a staff in order to RP. And dude--cats only for the most parts. Other animals should be checked by a staff member.
- Now, you read the important part of the rules. And if you are creating your bio, on the "other", please put: "AURORA" That is our codeword.
*Our codeword changes from random times.
**Codeword is only necessary for first time bio makers
W a r r i o r R u l e s
- Do not cross the borders of your clan territory, without a staff permission, unless you are a rogue, kittypet, or a loner.
- Warriors may talk, but they have their own words. They say, Twolegs, monsters, kits, and Starclan. We say, people, cars, babies, and heaven. Do get use to the vocab.
- Your cat will age, and eventually die. After each Gathering passed, every cat will gain a moon.
- No major big plots; we have a plot, thank you. But you may create mini/sub plots and/or may not participate in the current plot. Sub-plots should be small and not threatening to the others. Medicine cats, Starclanners and Dark Forest realm cats, you may come down in a dream, but you cannot predict that will trigger a major plot.
- If you are going to be sick, the disease/wound should be realistic. Cats aren't likely to be in a coma, but they are likely to have a green-cough .
- You can't kill another cat without permission and your death should be realistic. For after-life, you have two choices:
Starclan, if your cat maintains the faith of Starclan and are good to the world.
Dark Forest, if your cat is bad and does not have faith in Starclan while they have been introduced.
Innocent kits who died will automatically go to Starclan. Other cats who have not heard of Starclan, their after life will be based on how they did good to the world.
- Please limit the inter-clan relationship. Friends with others is OK. Love/mates is a no no. Check with your staff if you want one.
- Gatherings--This will regulate most likely once every two months. We will remind you of it earlier than a week away and will be posted up in public. Most likely they'll be in a real full moon and will last for an estimated time of ten days.
You will leave with your clan and the leader will have a clan meeting; you cannot go to the Gathering by yourself to The Island.
If you've missed the clan meeting, feel free to just hop in to the Gathering thread as if nothing happened; we don't want you to miss it.
Leaders, do not worry about who is to guard the camp, the cats who have automatically missed the whole Gathering will pretend to guard and do take volunteers.
- The Half Moons for Medicine cats is very similar to the Gathering, except that it'll be shorter, five days, and you will dream.
- Battles cannot be started without a staff member's permission. Remember that most likely lives will be lost and medicine cats will be busy.
- Patrols and hunting patrols will be needed to carry out for each clan. Leaders and deputies are in charge to ask others to carry them out. They do not need to be day-per-day, or we'll all be RPing like crazy!
