Yes, I know. No one likes reading long, rambling paragraphs of rules, so I'm going to make this easy on you. We've got simple, to-the-point bullets of information. Read them all, pick out the codeword, and you're good to go!
`` REGISTRATION
We're a one account per member site- it makes everything much easier to keep track of, and who likes to make hundreds of accounts for one site, anyways? You can register and play around the site using any alias you want, as long as it's nice and clean- and please, refrain from using too many symbols, they get annoying.
`` CHARACTERS
You may not roleplay until your character has been accepted by a staff member. You can have up to two high position cats (leader, deputy, medicine cat, or medicine cat apprentice) but none in the same Clan, or of the same position. If you're not active, we have the right to take away your high positioned cat as well. In total, you can have as many cats as you want, as long as you keep them all nice and active. Mary Sues/Gary Stus will not be accepted- and we WILL be strict about these. One last thing, you have up to one week after registering to finish a biography, or else we will delete you without notice.
`` ROLEPLAY
Once you're accepted, the odds are that you'll want to start roleplaying! That's what you're here for anyways, isn't it? The rules for this are simple. Don't god-mode or power-play. You probably know what these are. The codeword for the bio is "salmon". We require you post at least 200 words per in character post, but we would love for you to post more! We will allow detailed battle scenes, but we have one restriction (besides the whole power-playing thing)- don't curse in character. Warrior cats use words such as fox dung, mouse brain, etc. I doubt they even know the f-bomb exists. Let's keep it that way.
`` ROMANCE
Once you get into the site a bit, you may want to get your character a mate and kits. There are several rules in place in the books, such as that medicine cats and (female) leaders cannot have kits. These are in place here, so please stick to them. If you want to break the warrior code to cause a bit of drama or for a plot with another member, just let one of the staff know. We'll most likely let you go through with it. Graphic breeding isn't allowed- either fade to black, or just say you two mated and get it over with. As far as kits go, the kits will be born the season after they were conceived (i.e. she-cat gets pregnant in leafbare, the kits will be born in newleaf). The kits must resemble the parents in some way, and please keep in mind that tortoiseshell/calico toms are rare, and are usually infertile. Pregnant she-cats and kits cannot be made off the bat- you cannot create a bio for either.
`` OUT OF CHARACTER
You know the drill- respect everyone, be active, that kind of stuff. We'll hold occasional activity checks at random times to make sure you stay with us, and we won't be afraid to archive your characters if you're not very active. As far as OOC cursing goes, I will allow it to an extent, but f-bombs and anything directed at other members are not tolerated whatsoever. The rest is just general knowledge. Advertising goes in the advertising board, not the cbox. If you have a problem with someone, take it to PM for tell a staff member. Kapeesh?
