.X.x.rules.and.regulations.x.X.
Read all the rules, or you'll miss something!
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 (^_^)
.general.info.
- The plot, or what's happened so far, can be viewed under 'Announcements.' It's technically not an announcement, but it's our site story. Every gathering, the story should be updated.
- JUST because there are 30 + people on the forum doesn't mean you can't join! Half will be inactive, and we are always looking for new members!
.out.of.character.
- 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 'edit.'
-Do not spoil the book for people who haven't read as far as you. How would you like it if I said that Firepaw's name was really 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!
- 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
.signing.up.
- 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 {H}azel{S}tar, but don't do 12hazelie.42! Also, use different names than everybody else. Not all names are awesome (think of Loudbelly from the book), 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.
-Well, you obviously have to create a character to RP, 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.
-Cats cannot have special powers
- You can only control a total of 4 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 five. (you must be using each character actively for at-least two moons)
-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 fighting, being angry at each other, and unrealistic gameplay. We're warrior cats, not warrior panthers.
- Once you sign up, create your first character and then PM me, so I know your active. If not, I might delete you, or throw pie at you. Yes, pie.
- Do not ask to become a moderator; only leaders and admins who created the site, no more. Also, if you are a moderator and leader, and your charrie dies, then POOF! You are no longer a moderator. You'll actually become a moderator of StarClan :D That way, you can send dreams to clan cats without role playing with yourself. You can send mysterious dreams and clan cats may actually not know what they mean- in real life as well. Don't get it? Well, if your a leader and you die, I'll PM you with more details^^
.roleplaying.
- Moons will be doubled- that means there is a gathering every two moons, and a medicine cat meeting every two half moons. I'll post when's what when the time comes.
- Use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. Be literate!
- Use past tense while talking. Like, Hazelstar ate, Hazelstar talked, Hazelstar slept. Not, Hazelstar eats, Hazelstar talks, Hazelstar sleeps.
- All of your characters MUST be put into your siggy or description someway or another. If they aren't, I'll be very annoyed and angry that you didn't read the rules.
-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 try to keep the site PG13^^
-There has to actually be a father. No, "An alien came down from space and gave me this child," thing. If you are a queen, and have kits, then you can put them in the adoptable board to be adopted by other players. Just because their your kits doesn't mean you can have more than 4 characters.
- Even if nothing is happening, please participate in the plot.
- Don't create weird prophecies only for your character, unless you're a leader or medicine cat. Or unless we say so, 'cause we're cool like that. :D
