Below are the general out of character guidelines that every player on this site must abide by. Failure to abide by these rules will result in warnings and continued misuse results in suspension.
I. Respect to Staff and to other Players
While we are an intermediate rp site, please keep in mind that we may have younger players on the site, so keep the more crude curse words to a minimum. If you have a problem with another player, deal with it either in IM's, PM's or by contacting one of the staffers. Bringing an OOC conflict into a public venue (Cbox and Boards) will result in the board post being deleted and a warning issued.
II. Times and Seasons
One month In Character is equal to two weeks out of character... As each season will last three months in character, so the seasons in game will change every six weeks or so. Along with the season changes, different climate conditions may come into existence such as droughts, floods, hurricanes or other things.. So keep updated on what is going on so that you can add that bit of spice to your rp posts. We do use Liquid Time in Temporal Dissonance, so you don't have to follow the months to a 'T', but it would be good to help avoid confusion.
III. One Leader at a time
You can only have one lead character at a time, be it the Lead Mare or the Stallion of a Herd or Rookery. However, you can have as many higher ranked characters as you have slots, if you so choose.
IV. Character Slots
As of right now, we're only allowing three characters per player. More can be purchased with the money rewards you gain on site.
V. Posting Requirements
As we are an Intermediate Roleplay, we do have a word minimum - that being 200 words. You are also required to post on each character at least twice a week to keep from being marked inactive. If you have a lead character, you will be expected to remain active. If you have not posted anything in seven days (Without an absence), you will be removed from your lead position and the spot opened up once again.
VI. Posting Restrictions
Please refrain from making any ooc posts in the ic areas. This includes spot claims or notes for other players or staff. Doing so disrupts the postcounts. if you wish to contact a player use the Private Message system, cbox or edit in an ooc post in your last post in that thread.
VII. Advertising and Affiliation
Please advertise for your own sites using our advertising board. I do not wish to see adverts on any other area of the site or on the chatbox. Neither do we wish to hear that members are being private messaged to join other sites. Please keep your advertising off-site or in the designated locations. Other sites that misuse this will not be allowed to affiliate or advertise with us.
VIII. Realistic to a Degree
Yes, we have unicorns.. yes, we have Pegasi.. but seriously guys - we don't need flaming pink horses or bright green unicorns with purple hooves. Keep the hide colors and markings to the samples listed in the creation guide. Extra bits can be bought with points, such as odd colored eyes, or pelts.. but even those will be restricted to a degree. Please see the Character Creation Guide for further information.
