-------------------

GENERAL
1.
Powerplaying, God-Moding, Scrypting, and chatspeak are very much forbidden in the in-character boards. If you need help understanding those terms, PM Shade.

2.
Respect is the key thing. Not just to staff, but to all members.

3.
Images MUST be appropriate. I will NOT tolerate any pornographic pictures on this site. Blood is accepted up to a point. If I see any, the poster will be banned without a second thought.


JOIN
1.
Please have your display name be the name of your main character. No Graystripe_Luv54684387643.

2.
Please fill out the form and wait for your characters to be accepted. If you're confused on the sheet, PM Shade.

3.
The Clan leader assessing your application has the right to deny you. They can give you tips, but remember if they tell you to do something simple, just do it. Don't argue. You'll be accepted. =3

4.
We don't have a character/account limit, however all characters MUST be kept active. If we see you struggling, we will tell you to lighten your load.

IF YOU HAVE A HIGH-RANKING POSTION, YOU MUST BE 100% ACTIVE!
I don't mean, kill-yourself-to-get-online, I mean that in having a high rank, you'll have cats/members that are depending on you. If you don't

5.
All signature images may not exceed 600x300 pixels. Like-wise, avatars can only be a maximum of 100x100 pixels.

6.
We will only allow natural colors for eyes and coat. This means that any violet, neon, black, or red eyes will not be allowed. Likewise for pink cats or polka-dotted fur.

7.
Newly created accounts will have a grace period of a week! That means you have a week to begin posting. ANY new account that fails to do so will be deleted.

FOR OLDER MEMBERS:
If you don't post in a weeks time, you could be deleted/stripped of your high rank.
Post in the away board if you know you're going to be away.

8.
Only ONE high ranking positions per member. Kay?

POSTING
1.
Please try to be as active as you can be. There is a board for posting away messages. USE IT.

2.
Please separate Ooc speech in the Ic areas with [brackets] or (parenthesis). You may bold if you want.

3.
Track your characters movement. They can only be in one thread at a time, however if you have not gotten a reply in more then an week you have the right to move your character to another thread.

4.
Please make your Ic posts at least two well-written paragraphs. This includes proper grammar and spelling. We have a spell checker, and Microsoft Word works well too. Writers block is excused for the first three times, but no farther. You will be reminded and possibly warned if you do not follow through.

5.
ALL Ic posts MUST be in the third person/past tense!


FIGHTS
1.
Staff may judge fights and they MUST be fair. All cats are even and we mainly judge by role-play, use of words and such. Do not complain if you are the looser.

2.
No fighting in Ooc. Doing so can get you warned or even banned. This forum is made for fun and not fighting. I understand if you have a problem with a member, but don't make it public. If you do PM Shade. She'll work it out.

3.
Graphic fights are allowed, however you MUST post a mature notice on the board if a fight breaks out. Please do not go as far as PG-13. Blood and such is allowed and broken limbs, however ripping out organs and such is not to be graphic, but can only be said.

4.
If you want to kill off a cat, alert Shade so that she may move the profile into the Death board. Please tell, of the cause of death and then I will judge if they are Forsaken or StarClan.

BREEDING
1.
1-5 Kits will be born in a litter and remember that both parents must post on the Litter board. Shade will choose, the number and genders, however the parents may choose the adult appearance of the kits and thier names of course.

Remember that not all breeding sessions are successful, and I will alert you if so. You may try again in 3 RL days if you wish.

2.
You do not need to post the kits profile, however you may build it up as you go. If you do post their profile, you do have a right to make it very small.

3.
No mating season, but cats are told to try and mate in mid leaf-bare so their kits may be born during Green-Leaf.


CLANS - Following the Warrior Code[/url]
1.
When a leader looses a life, make sure to let Shade know. Remember that only the Medicine and the Leader knows how many lives they have. StarClan of course knows too!

2.
When a leader dies, the new leader (deputy of fallen/retired leader) MUST post at the Starlightingfalls. They can bring their medicine cat if they want, but they need to receive their 9 lives from the cats of the StarClan. Shade will then announce the new leader.

3.
For Clan Gatherings, the leader will announce who gets to join in the Clan updates. There will be three warriors and two apprentices that will be invited each Gathering.
These cats are ALWAYS invited:
-Leader (duh)
-Deputy
-Med. Cat
The med. cat apprentice can be invited and doesn't count toward the final tally.

Only medicine cats and their apprentices can attend medicine cat gatherings.
