the all too important rules

[|| DEALIAS .]]

the rules !
so like, follow or die.

aaand the codeword is: technological seahorses

- - in general !

--> No Discrimination. against race, gender, sexual orientation, age, anything. Its the 21st century people, get over yourselves.

--> No Chatspeak. Its annoying. This is a literate website, we don't talk like ten-year-olds on crack. It is allowed in the Cbox, but keep it to a minimum... a very, very small minimum.

--> No Stealing. I don't really even think I need to write an explanation for this one.

--> RL/IRL Issues. Real Life/In Real Life, keep your life issues out of this site. We came here to have fun, not listen to your sob stories. We don't know you like that.

--> No Multiple Accounts. One account per person please. Its easier to keep track of what characters belong to who this way.

--> Leaving. For whatever reason who have to leave is, please let us know so that if you miss an activity check you won't be deleted.

--> No Crazy Names. Nothing like, &&!!D_3_@_L_!_@_$$$$ ! }}} . No, thats not happening. You may decorate it, of course. But please, control yourself.

--> No Going Against the Staff. We are the law, alrighty?

- - characters !

--> Be Realistic. All breeds, colors, heights, ages, etc. should be 100% believeable. There is no such thing as a polka-dotted purple 17hh 68 year old shetland pony, correct?

--> Character Amounts. You can have as many characters as you want, as long as you keep them active. If problems arise, you will be asked to either delete some or put a few up for adoption.

--> No joining as a pregnant mare. It causes confusion. How the heck to we know who the father is? I don't think you want an illigitmate foal on your record, true?

--> Killing off characters. Please notify me via PM so I can move their bio to the obituaries board.

--> No Perfect Characters. Gary-Stus and Mary-Sues are just annoying. No one is perfect, and that goes for horses, too. So please, when making the characters, make them with good and bad points.

- - general role-playing !

--> No God-Moding. Godmoding is making your character seem God-like. Please, your character is not Superman.

--> No Power-playing. Controlling someone elses player? Thats just rude and it takes the fun out of role-playing.

--> Word Requirement. Please make every post at least 200 words long. It makes it easier for a reply and really, thats not even that many words.

--> Font size. Please make all posts in font size ONE, it just looks neater.

--> Good Grammar. That button down there that says SPELL CHECK, please take advantage of that. I don't want any posts that look like they were written by an eight year old.

--> Falling in Love. I know that I have a "Love" board, but you can fall in love anywhere. SO, keep that in mind.

- - fighting !

--> Winning. BEFORE you start a fight, please discuss the other play with whom you will be fighting with who will win and who will lose. We don't want fighting posts 82 posts long clogging up the boards. It will get boring and you will eventually lose your muse.

--> Losing. Please do so graciously. No one likes a sore-loser, grow up.

- - breeding/birthing !

--> Ages. Stallions are can breed at age 3, that is when they are fully grown. Mares are fully grown at age 4, which is when they can breed.

--> Seasons. Please keep track of the seasons in the side bars to the left. They will tell you if mating/birthing are available.

--> Graphic Breeding. WHAT?! NO F*CKING WAY! Yes, yes fine. Except, when your going to do so, please include something like *G* in your thread title to show that it will have graphic breeding so that those of us who don't want to see that won't come upon it by surprise.

--> When can your mare birth? You must wait one months (REAL TIME) before your mare has her foal. You cannot get pregnant and then flop down and have your foal. You have to wait, but I won't tourture you.

- - claiming !

--> Claiming Territories. ONLY STALLIONS CAN CLAIM TERRITORIES. They can claim them at the age of 3. When claiming a territory, make a claimence post. Make it amazing make it long as h... you know. Blow my PANTS off. If I do not accept it, feel free to try again. If you do not have mares before within three weeks of your claimence, it will be up for grabs again. You can always resubmit a DIFFERENT claimence post.

--> Mares. Stallions can only claim mares in the Claiming Mares board or of course, in forcebreeding (but we'll get to forcing later). You can claim in other places, but make sure the player of the mare is okay with that. MARES = IF YOU ARE CLAIMED, YOU MUST GO WILLINGLY, of course you can put up a fight but come on.

--> Mare Trading. Alrighty, Mare Trading... Can only happen in the correct board. The Mare Trading board... Duh? You can bargain, say if the other player has two mares to trade or you're as in exceptionally beautiful mare. You know what I mean. Be sure that before the transaction happens everyone involved knows the terms and is okay with it. NOW, mare trading is PURELY IN CHARACTER. If your stallion trades a mare for another, your STALLION gets that mare. YOU don't get that mare to play, alriiiighty?

- - forcebreeding !

--> First of all. What is forcebreeding? Its when stallions take mares against their will into a herd (called a Slave herd) and breeds them against their will to produce foals. Now, some people do not agree with this, but others like to role-play this. So, I will allow it.

--> Claiming. Usually, when a mare is found on the forcing grounds, they are claimed and bred (in either order). Please do so willingly. Please feel perfectly free to put up a fight, it adds drama. But it really does get annoying when you constantly fight against it. Why post there if your not gonna do it? ALSO, you can claim mares as slaves in other places besides the forcing board, but make sure the other player is aware of this.

now remember, I will hand out punishments for what I think is appropriate. thank you.
now, my beautiful new member, you've made it to the end. now highlight the board and you will get a prize.
