General
001. No Chatspeak
A simple "brb" in the c-box is fine, but in the forums it's unnecessary.
002. Keep Everything PG-13
Not only is this our rule, it's a standard probards rule as well. If you have any specific questions regarding what is considered PG-13, message a staff member before you post it.
003. One Account Per Member
Absolutely no exceptions. If you have multiple accounts it can make it difficult for staff to contact you.
004. Obey All Staff
Disrespect towards staff members will not be tolerated. If you're having a problem with a staff member message an administrator.
005. Play Nice
No bullying, harrasing, etc. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all type of thing. If you are having a problem with another member, let the staff know.
006. Know Your Skill Level
If you can't write two decent paragraphs at least, do not join, it's that simple.
007. No Gossip
Do not talk negatively about another member. Especially a staff member. This applies in both the cbox and the forums.
008. No Copyrighted Images
The only images you may use in the site are those wither under a Creative Commons license, or if you have expressed written permission from the owner.
Roleplay
001.No Wolfspeak
Urban Dictionary defines Wolfspeak as "Wolfspeak is a bunch of words created by animal roleplayers to make them sound fancy and intelligent, when it really just makes them look like a pompous jerk with a dictionary.". While SC doesn't have anything against those who use it, it's not allowed here.
002. Follow the Skirt Rule
Posts should be long enough to cover the essentials, but not so long that halfway through reading we fall asleep. Keep in mind that most players expect at least two decent sized paragraphs.
003. No Character Limit
As long as you can keep up with all your characters there is no limit. If you do get overwhelmed feel free to either kill(death) one, or put it up for adoption.
004. Liquid Time is Allowed
This basically means that your character can be involved in more than one thread at a time.
005. One in character season is equal to two months
This is tentative and may be changed depending on the current plot status.
006. Roleplay only in third person
This prevents a lot of confusion. We don't want one player playing in first person, I am; and another trying to do third, She was;. It keeps it simple and easier to understand.
007. Characters Age in the Spring
Try to remember and update your character log at the start of every year.
008. No Graphic Breeding
In order to keep things simple either fade to black or ignore the process completely. Forced breeding is allowed, just make sure the other member is okay with it.
009.Canine behavior
This is a REALISTIC canine roleplay. Do you see male dogs hitting on males dogs? No. Dog druggers addicted? No. So why even try to make it sound okay here? This is a huge thing now. Please, be realistically creative. No gay dogs, no drug addicts I mean come on! We love creativity! Just not unrealistic sappy behaviors.
010. Killing Characters
Killing other characters is perfectly acceptable as long as both members are in agreement. Keep in mind there are other ways to die such as, coyote attacks, being kicked by a cow/horse, etc.
011. Pay Attention
This rule applies to both the setting and time period of the site. It's the 1930's, so no Walmart's. If you are roleplaying in the town hall, please stay in (or very closer) to the town hall. If your post does not follow the basic setting of the story, it will be deleted. This does not count for minor mistakes.
012.No Magic
This includes "special powers" such as foreseeing the future.
013. No Chatting In Threads
If you want to have a conversation with someone, take it to messages or the designated chat board. Posting ((OOC)) is very annoying and really disrupts the flow of threads.
