✚ BASIC RULES
1. Respect. Respect yourself, others, and anyone. I don't want to see fighting, arguing, name calling, ect. This will be one of the fastest ways to get banned.
2. Staff's say is final. No arguing your point, after you got your answer. Also, please do not rant about it in our cbox, or our boards.
3. TOS. No graphic killing/sex/badthings. Also, you have to be over 13 to join. Do you want us shut down? No? Then be good and follow the rules. Swearing is fine ooc, ic, not so much. If you can't handle swearing, either ask the people swearing not to do it around you, or perhaps not join.
4. We are APC. Account per character. Every new character needs a new account. Please register your character's name, and edit it afterwards to all caps. No symbols, please. Also, please register an OoC account. Again, no numbers or symbols.
5. We do not have a character limit. Make as many as you want. Do not let them be inactive. Our monthly AC will be a place to drop them, yes, but why waste your creativity to create someone you won't play?
6. Stock. Images on the site have to be stock. You can get into trouble, serious legal trouble, for stealing an image, even if it's just a representation. Flickr, Deviantart, Sobi all offer images that are stock. No shutterstock or istock, due to the watermarks.
7. High positions. Two per person, and they cannot be the same thing. They cannot even be close in rank. No leader/deputy, or med. cat/mca. those who are leaders, can also hold nothing else higher than MC or MCA, and not for the same Clan. Sad, but true.
8. If you hold a HP, if you do not post with leaders in Gathering threads just once without letting staff know, you lose the position. No questions asked. MC's, you can miss two gatherings with no excuse, but no MC gatherings. Harsh, but proven effective.
✚ ROLEPLAYING RULES
1. We are a literate to advanced site. What does this mean? Simple, really. We expect decent grammar and excellent spelling from everyone. Now, we don't expect perfection, but we expect you to at least try. No chat-speak in an IC post, you know, stuff like that.
2. We have a word count minimum of 150 words per ic post. It's not much, you can do it. If you cannot, I'm sure we'll be glad to help.
3.This is a warrior's site, so try to use warrior speak. No warrior will say something like, "Man, fuck that bitch." They just don't, they don't know those words. Curse words for warriors are things like "foxdung!"
4. Godmoding, powerplayng, no. No. You will get in trouble for this, and I need to say it, if you don't know what these are, please ask. We don't bite.
5. You may not post until your application has been approved by a staff member. This includes the plotting board/log board. You may post in the General Chat, but that is all.
6. Perfect characters will not be accepted. No one is without flaws.
7. Time. Two months IRL, equals 3 months (one season) in game. That means your character will have four months to finish their training as apprentices,kits will have time to play as kits, ect.
8. When an apprentice finishes all required threads, pm your leader, or post in the thread titled 'Hey! I need a ceremony' so they know to have a ceremony to do for them!
✚ CHARACTER RULES
1. We only accept traditional names. Now, I am not someone who will only go by lists. Most of the time, if it has a good reason, and I mean a damn good reason, I will accept it. However, wild names, or names that they would not know about? No. This includes things like, gems, metals, human things. Also, things like moon, star, and death will never be accepted.
2. No nursing queen will be accepted if it is not bought from the store. I don't care how badly you want babies off the bat, roleplay it out or buy it.
3. Albinos must be bought, as must pure breeds.
4. No crazy pelt colors, extraordinary powers, strange markings, unnatural eye colors, and etc. Just normal colored cats with normal colored eyes. Mismatched eyes are fine (such as one brown and one blue) as long as both colors are natural. You may buy unnaturally colored eyes, or an odd marking in the shop.
5. No loners/kittypet/rogue may be made into a clan cat via bio. You cannot make them, it must be roleplayed out. You cannot buy this either.
6. You get one free half-clan cat via bio. After that, they must be bred IC on this site.
7. If you post a wip, put WIP in the title so staff knows.
8. DO NOT harass staff to accept your character. If we haven't gotten to it within 24 hours, please pm one of us or say something in the cbox. If you don't follow this rule, we will delay acceptance another 24 hours.
✚ ROMANCE RULES
1.Everyone gets one free forbidden romance. After that you gotta buy it guys.
2. I don't care what gender your pretty kitties are, what they prefer, all sexualities and genders are accepted here.
3. However, two toms cannot have kits with each other. They'd need a surrogate mommy.
4. Apprentices will not father kits. Cats here must be at least 12 moons of age to have or sire kits.
5. You must have two threads with 5 posts each before you may apply for kits. If you have a polyamorous group, two threads with each member of the relationship.
6. Staff will decide genetics. None of us are experts, so we'll do our best, but don't get angry, okay?
7. The due date will be 3 weeks after the app is posted, and the kits can only be played 3 weeks after they are born.
8. Kits who are not adopted before due date, die.
9. You may only have two free ic litters a year.
✚ CBOX RULES
1.) no advertising. Period.
2.) no spamming/serious trolling.
3.) Do not swear at each other. Swearing is fine. But not directed at anyone there.
