General Site Rules
Respect
✗Be respectful towards everyone on the site. This is the simplest rule there is, but one of the most important.
✗Even if you don't like someone, don't be bitter and rude. If the other person is being rude, ignore them- otherwise you'll both be at fault.
✗If you must have an argument, take it to the PMs. We don't want fighting in the chatbox.
✗We are not almighty, but the staff do hold the power here- so don't argue against a staff member. If you feel the staff member is truly being unfair, PM Kami or Ven.
Maturity
✗Do not beg for a rare species/royalty/plot character/high powered character. If the staff does not think you deserve it, nagging us will not help.
✗Do not ask to be staff. If we think you're responsible enough, we will approach you ourselves, or we may hold staff applications.
Common Sense
✗Try to keep everything within the boundaries of PG-17. Members, young or not, should feel safe to roleplay here without running into adult content.
✗Do not roleplay sex scenes. This is not the place for that, and I'm assuming most of us won't want to see it here.
✗Cussing is fine, but try not to go overboard. Also keep in mind that this is set in medieval times, so your characters will probably not be using conventional insults.
✗If you become inactive on the site, your account may be deleted.
The Most Important Rules
✗Have fun! Yes, this is a rule. We're forcing you.
✗If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask anyone, especially the staff. That's what we're here for.
Role Play Rules
Power Play
✗As with all roleplaying sites, power playing and godmodding will not be allowed.
✗In addition to this, you may not kill a character without their permission.
NOTE: If you are not aware of Goodmodding and Power playing, he is an example-
The wrong way:
Thorn growled at the other wolf. Filled with anger, he tackled the stranger and pinned him to the ground. The wolf was struggling, but could not get up- Thorn was too strong.
The right way:
Thorn growled at the other wolf. Filled with anger, he leaped at the stranger, hoping to pin him to the ground.
In-Character Fighting
✗Small fights are fine, and encouraged. Most large battles will be planned by staff ahead of time, but if you wish to make a fairly large battle you must ask permission first.
Literacy
✗We do not have a word count, but we stress the fact that this is a semi-literate rp.
✗No one liners, no exceptions. Yes, writers block is something everyone gets, but if you cannot come up with something longer than a sentence, it's better to not reply at all. Wait until you can write something that can be replied to. One small paragraph should be simple enough to achieve, writers block or not.
✗Please try to be grammatically correct in your posts. You should check your spelling often, also.
Chat-box Rules
Spam
✗No spamming or trolling. The chat will automatically ban you if it thinks you're spamming. (even if you're not actually spamming
)✗Feel free to post actual pictures of spam meat, though
Advertising
✗No advertising in the chat. That's what the advertising board is for.
✗If you're just linking a site to your friend, that is okay.
✗If you're not sure, it doesn't hurt to ask a staff member if it's okay to advertise something in the chat box.
