Please make sure you read these rules cause I will have a code here and if you don't post that when you make your introduction you will get a warning or a reminder. You have up to ten days to do it or I will ban you for a few days and so on ok? or you are welcome to post the code in this thread as well and you wont have to post it in the intro. =)
General
Our most important rule is that you be polite to all members. If a staff member is asking you to change something in a profile, post, or attitude, it's not personal! They're doing their job.
Accounts
~Please only make one account, you should play all your characters on this account. It makes it a lot easier for the staff to keep track of you all.
~Signature images should be no larger than 500x450
~Avatars and signatures should not include anything that the staff deems offensive. We will edit your profile if this is the case.
Posting
~An intermediate-level RPG. The minimum word count is 100 on in-character posts, and we require proper spelling, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation in all posts.
~If you're planning a scene with particular characters and you'd rather not have any intrusions, put a tag in the thread title so that the other members know which characters are allowed to post! You can also tag specific users by typing @(their account name) in the body of the post. This will send that person a notification that they have been tagged. Code is GreenBeans.
Character Profiles
~When creating a character, follow the A CHARACTER PROFILE TEMPLATE meaning do it how ever you like.
~We don't expect you to write bucket loads, but feel free to spend as much time as you like on making your profile.
~Remember though to pay special attention to the guidelines at the top of the template thread.
~You can start RPing right away after posting your character's profile, you don't have to wait for it to be moved to the Accepted Characters board,
Ghosts
~If your character dies, you may turn them into a ghost. You may also create new characters who are already ghosts.
~Ghosts cannot under any circumstances carry their living powers to the afterlife.
~Ghosts cannot physically harm or touch the living in any way, but they can make contact with other ghosts.
~Ghosts do not have a sense of smell and they can not feel temperature.
~Ghosts can be RPed in any board; they do not need to stay in the Afterlife.
Special Characters
~If you would like to create a character that does not follow the rules/guidelines/regulations above, you can try to apply for a special character.
~To do so, fill out a profile as usual, but include as much information as possible. The history is not optional for special characters. PM the profile to a staff member, and they will put it forward to the rest of the staff.
~Your chances of getting a special character increase are greater if you are an active member of the site.
Fighting
One-on-One:
~When your character is going to fight another, post in the PINBOARD with a link to the thread.
~A mod will see the update and come as soon as possible to mod the fight.
~Each character should take it in turns to post their intended attack or defense.
~As per usual, no power playing (commonly referred to as "PPing"). This pretty much means that you can't just say your character landed his/her attack. Your wolf cannot be "all powerful", and never lose a fight. If you do happen to powerplay or god-mod, you'll receive a warning.
Yes: Bob jumped at Steve, teeth bared, aiming for his opponents neck.
No: Bob jumped at Steve, closing his jaws around the other wolf's throat, ripping into the flesh.
~Let the mods do their job! A mod will let you know if your wolf's attack hit/missed, how much damage it did/etc.
The outcome of each attack or defense is determined on how likely it is to succeed.
~If you don't want a mod to decide the fight, you may decide with the other wolf's RPer which attacks hit and miss. However, if there are any complaints of powerplay a mod can step in to decide the rest of the fight.
Hunting
~Outside the Hunting plains, you may mod your own hunts.
~Your characters can be injured in hunts so be careful what they choose to attack. It is recommended that you retreat if the going gets tough, as its usually a sign that the hunt will end badly.
~Just like with fighting, no powerplaying.

Each time one of the main admins makes a new rule we will put them in quotes because we are not adding them to this post. Its so that if a other person post here we know to delete that since this is for ONLY rules and nothing more.
