I hope you'll excuse the constant changing, shifting, adding and rewording of rules. I keep realising I left something out or one rule doesn't make sense etc.
Ya, apologies =/
NEW = RED
General
There should be absolutely no big eyes, godmodding, or powerplaying. That's when you control someone else's character or read their thoughts. If it's your character, feel free to do what you want, but if something like this is going to happen, discuss it with the other character and if they want to, sure, if not, please respect their wishes and drop it.
Swearing/Cussing is not allowed out of character.
No racist, sexist, homophobic, or any other abusive language out of character. I don't want people forced to quit after online bullying.
Please respect the CBOX. There should be no spamming [four or more posts in a row], advertising [Posting links directly is obviously not allowed without my permission, but a link in your name is, as long as you don't draw attention to it!], or impersonating ANYONE in the c-box. Remember, I can see all your IP addresses and will not hesitate to punish you. [Rawr =D]
No out of character fighting. That includes over posts, pms, in the Chat boards, and on CBox. It will NOT be tolerated. If you have a problem with another member, contact an admin or staff, don't just go and try to fix it yourself, it doesn't always turn out so well.
Staff
Respect the Admin and Staff.
Please do not ask to become a member of staff, as this will actually reduce the chance of you being picked. If you are behaving in a way that is kind and helpful to others, you will be spotted and asked if you would like to be a mod.
In order to become a member of staff, you must have had at LEAST 100 posts. This is to prove that you are experienced and have attempted to get to know some of the other players.
Joining
Your display name must be sensible, use your common sense. Staff will change your name if they find it inappropriate.
You MUST create a Biography for your character BEFORE you can begin roleplaying. You do not, however, need to wait to be accepted.
The password for Biographies is cookiecrumbs, because that's all that's left of the ones I baked earlier =/.
You may not join with an Equusential, and you can only get one if it's been given to you, or one of your horses breeds to one. If you need an EE for a plot, please PM me.
Posting
This is a Semi literate/Advanced rpg, meaning ALL post must be AT LEAST 100 words, if not more. One-liners will NOT be tolerated and if I or any of the staff members see this, you'll be given a warning and if the problem persists, you may want to consider having a few pointers thrown your way by some other members. Remember, practice makes perfect!
One charrie can only be in one place at the one time! Please finish up a thread if you want to use them somewhere else, or just make more horses.
Mates, Breeding & Fighting
Each character may only have one mate, but they do not have to keep this mate for their lifetime. You may leave a mate and find a new one, but make sure to tell the previous charrie your intentions!
There is to be NO force breeding and NO graphic breeding on this website. If we find you breaking this rule you will be warned only once. After this warning you will be banned for one week and if you still persist after this time, your account will be deleted and your IP address blocked from creating a new one.
After breeding a mare, you must wait 3 days until she gives birth. Please realise that due to complications, sometimes the birth can go wrong and foals may die.
Once challenged to a fight, you must accept or decline within three days. If three days pass with no response, or you decline, it is an automatic defeat, and whatever you were challenged for must be given up to the challenger.
The challenger will post the rules of the fight, stating how many characters/letters/words there must be in each post, how many posts each member will get to fight in, how many defends (this will automatically deflect/dodge the attack) each player is allowed, and any other requirements they see fit. Then they choose who will go first and the fight begins.
After a fight is finished an Admin or Mod will judge it. You will be rated on vocabulary, length of post, and description (Includes thoughts, feelings etc).
If you have posted away, all of your charries are immune to challenges and steals providing you return when you posted you would.
Stealing
Put it in a guessable riddle. Make it possible to understand who you're going for.
Stallions may steal mares (mares with foals decide whether to bring the foal).
Mares may steal foals that are older then 6 months
If who you are stealing from does not figure it out within three days, than the thief gets what they want to steal.
After an equine has been successfully stolen they cannot be stolen for 1 season (this prevents the loser of the steal from immediately re-stealing the mare or foal).
Equusentials
PLEASE NOTE: EE's will be rare to begin with, and only those playing Canon charries or those who have won contests will have them. Do not ask for an EE, or you will definitely NOT be given one!
Custom EE's will only be given out as rewards for contests or other reasons I might see fit.
The only way to get an EE normally, is through breeding to one. When this happens, your foal will need to have a reference picture made, so please be patient as you wait for this.
The powers your EE is granted with at birth must be strictly followed. It's not fair to others if you don't follow this rule.
Others
All pictures MUST have credits either on the image, or in the post/signiature. No exceptions.
No HUGE signatures. Signature pictures must not distort or destroy the page width. If you have a huge picture, just put a worded link to it. Be sure to use APPROPRIATE pictures as well.
Please follow these rules. They may be changed or added to at any time, so make sure to check back every so often to keep up. Thanks for reading and have fun!
