Your Activity
- NOTE Us staff look though the member list quite often, and we will not hesitate to delete you if you have been gone for over one week without note of absence. So please, if you are going to be leaving for a while, post it in the absence board. That is not a long time, only seven days, as we are fairly strict in our activity in our members.
- POSTING You are required to post two to three times a week, and yes, there are exceptions if you are in hiatus, etc. But for staff and alphas, you must post four to five times a week, and even that isn't a lot.
- NEW MEMBERS I really... CAN NOT stress this enough. You have no idea how much it irritates me when someone joins the site... and never gets on again. They don't read the rules, activate their account, nothing! I also do not appreciate it when someone joins and just screws around in the chat box for weeks and never makes a bio for their wolf. PEOPLE! This is a wolf role play site, not something to join and ditch, or come on and jack around on the chat box. Go join a social networking site for that... because this is not the place.
IC Rules
- NO GOD MOD Please, there is no way to stress this rule enough. Your wolf isn't God, or superman, he can't dodge every hit, or kill every wolf he fights with one blow. However, we are fantasy to an extent, scientifically engineered wolves are allowed, but they still can't be indestructible. And please, if you have any questions about your wolf's powers, just pm Buell.
- NO POWER PLAY This rule isn't too strict. We all make mistakes, and if you power play, all you have to do is edit your post. Now, power play is when you control the other player's actions. Ex. Buell bit the wolf in the neck.
- NO CHAT SPEAK iif jooh tlk lyk3 thiis, your post will be deleted. And no lol, g2g, or l8r either.
- BE REALISTIC This is a tricky factor. Only wolves with histories to prove that they are scientifically engineered or genetically modified may role play wolves with special elements, but to an extent, they must have drastic weaknesses if they are to have an outstanding power. Wolves that deal with things such as spirits are to be kept -strictly- spirits, and if you're going to role play a spirit or demon wolf, you must know what you're doing. For example, Buell, the administrator, has several spirit and demon wolves because she studies the paranormal, so she knows what she's doing. We do not allow mind casting, or flying, this is a realistic site, and though species of different breeds may mate, that is as far as we stretch, otherwise your wolf shall have to appear normal, and fully realistically functional.
- 100 WORD COUNT MINIMUM We're lenient on the word count, but no one liners, what so ever. It's REALLY annoying, and your post will be deleted. And also, no double posting. There is a modify button on your post in case you need to edit anything.
- USE PROPER SPELLING & GRAMMER Minor errors in spelling and punctuation aren't a problem, however, there is a spell check button when you post, it's there for a reason, use it.
- CHARACTERS You are allowed as many characters as you can role play. Keep them all active though. And your canines are each allowed a little friend(s) to follow them around, ex. a rat, squirrel, or raven. Note that these companions cannot help in a fight, unless they are fighting another character's companion. The password to the sign up board is apples.
- THIRD PERSON Please, post in third person, ex. Buell was walking through the woods.
Don't post in first, ex. I was walking through the woods.- BIO ACCEPTANCE You may not post any in character posts until your wolf's bio has been accepted.
Fighting & Mating Rules
- GRAPHIC MATING IS NOT ALLOWED Graphic Mating is not allowed anymore. As it against the Proboards Terms of Service. I assume almost none of you will be effected by the change though, seeing as graphic mating did not occur too often before.
- GRAPHIC FIGHTING IS NOT ALLOWED Graphic Fighting is not allowed. This is not to say that fighting isn't allowed period, though. Just keep things clean, please.
- PUPS Females can mate with their mate(the obvious choice) or they can choose to be forced by a male. You may have 1-6 puppies per litter, and make sure someone is ready to role play the puppies. If not, you must come up for a death for the pup.
Cbox Rules
- NO SPAMMING hjfhrehuijdhfhuirhfhiughuirsjhur it's really annoying, isn't it?
- NO FIGHTING Please, if you MUST argue about something, keep it to PMs. And if someone is harassing you, just pm a staff member.
- KEEP SWEARING TO A MINIMUM
- BE RESPECTFUL Don't be a jerk. Buell will eat you.
- NO ADVERTISING
Biographies
- STRENGTHS You can have as many strengths as you want, though they must be reasonable. Your wolf can not be strong, fast, and have high stamina at the same time. And nothing too extreme, however if you have a very powerful strength, you much have an equally powerful weakness.
- WEAKNESSES It is preferred that you have at least one more weakness than your amount of strengths, but we are lenient. You can't just have mental or psychological weaknesses such as being antisocial or insane, etc. You much also have physical weaknesses.
- APPEARANCE Your canine's appearance must be at least 100 words long, and we are very strict about this rule.
- PERSONALITY Your canine's personality must be at least 100 words long, and we are very strict about this rule.
- HISTORY Your canine's history must be at least 150 words if they are an adult and 50 words if they are a pup, we are also very strict about this rule.
Other
- QUESTIONS If you have a question(especially regarding not being able to find the bio form) go look at the "Frequently Asked Questions" thread at this board before asking a staff member. I can't tell you how annoying it is to ask questions when the answer to that said question is right in front of the asker's face. If after you've looked at the FAQ thread, and your question still is not answered, THEN you can pm a staff member... but make sure you mention that you can not find the answer at the FAQ thread or we will not answer your question.
- KTHXBAI Lastly, have fun:)
