Okay, these are my basic requirements for your behavior on the forum. If you break one, you will be punished accordingly... Even if you are staff. These apply to everybody, even myself...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General:
1- The admins are god here folks and you will obey us. You may voice any complaints or disagree with our judgment but there will be no constant back-talking, no insults, and no direct disobeying of orders...
2- Do not disrespect anyone out of character in any which, way, shape, or form. This is not taken lightly. If you even so much as hint on an insult to someone else, one of our mods will be on you like my cats on the food...
3- Please use little to no chatspeak, in character or out. It"s annoying and childish. If you know how to use a computer, you know how to speak correctly...
4- Cussing is allowed but try not to over do it. (Hell, damn and bitch are not considered cuss words). If you're really mad at something or upset, it's fine but try to keep it to a minimum out of character. In character, it's totally fine... but don't abuse the right. Every other word should not be a cuss...
5- If you see something wrong, report it but do not take matters into your own hands for you will be charged with the same or similar crimes as the persecuted. period. No acceptions...
6- Be active please! I can't rp by myself you know. If you are going to leave us for a time, please tell us about it. It's so annoying when people just disappear...
Characters:
1- Please use the form provided or at least include all the information. Added info will get you brownie points. ^^
2- The forums is based on the anime Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and it's sequel Ginga Densetsu Weed, so dogs should be the main species here. Wolves are allowed but only by staff permission! Other animals like foxes and coyotes are allowed too, not mention humans...
3- You no not have to wait to be accepted, we will simply tell you if you must change something.
4- You are not limited on how many characters you can have. Go crazy on that note. Just try to keep them all active. It's annoying when characters simply drop out of existance...
5- Though you can have as many characters per account as you wish, try not to have fifty on one account. try to keep it under ten per account, though separate accounts per character are appreciated.
6- I cannot stress this part enough: Be Descriptive with you characters. Though it's not a necessity, I'm telling you that you will enjoy your characters much more if you spend a lot of time, dedication and hard work on them.
7- Try to vary the species a bit. A thousand dogs or humans is fine, but I don't want a million foxes running around. If you see that there are a lot of foxes, make a coyote or a dog or something that's all I ask. the same thing applies to breed. I do not want to see hundreds of Akitas. Granted, there will be a lot of them, but try vary it a little please. make a Shiba Inu instead or a Greenland dog or better yet, an American breed. Akitas aren't the only dogs alive you know... Here's a good site to find some more breeds.
8- On that note, try to keep your characters unique please. if every Akita is a Tora ge, they're not exactly so special anymore. If anything, they're annoying and uncreative. Now a tora ge corgi, on the other hand... That's interesting and creative and just as special as any old akita. The fact that I love corgis has nothing to do with any sudden increase in karma you might recieve... >.>
Posting:
1- Try to have at least 50 words per post. It again, isn't required but it's nice. I just don't want to see constant one liners or anything like that. Be aware, lengthy posters are rewarded...
2- I repeat: No chatspeak!
3- Talking is allowed but it must be in quotations. "blah" or "blah" or "blah". Which ever floats your boat, just put it in quotes.
4- No mind reading! Some people may not know what this is, so I'll tell you. Mind reading is when one character thinks about something and your character responds to it as if it were said. Don't do that! It's annoying and noobish...
5- This board is rated PG to R depending so cussing is allowed in character but try not to over do it.
6- You must post a completed bio in the The Bio's board before role-playing. You don't have to wait until you're accepted or anything but the finished bio should be there...
7- Any and all threads that involve even slightly mature themes must have a warning either in the thread title or have an obvious declaration elsewhere in the posting. Here's a good example. Oh yes, when i say obvious, it must be obvious...
Breeding:
1- There is no mating season so go nuts on that account...
2- The mating must be rped out! Don't magically have your character become pregnant. If you are uncomfortable with role-playing, simply leave it very vague. "They mated" is all that we need...
3- You get to choose everything about the litters of course. Their appearances, the number of them, their genders, the works.
4- Hybrids are allowed but keep them to a minimum. I don't want a lot of wolf hybrids running a muck okay. This is a dog site so let's try to stick to it...
5- Puppies, particularly hybrids, will not all be born perfect and healthy. At least one pup must be born with a problem, preferably two pups but one is enough...
6- Graphic mating/birthing is allowed. Just be sure to alert the rest of us to it...
7- Birthing must be played out as well, just like mating, only probably in a little more detail. "She gave birth" doesn't seem like enough. Maybe "out came one pup" and "then the next" so we know how many are born and their genders and such...
8- All puppies must eventually have a bio in the Bios board! You don't have to create it right after they're born but it should pop up at some point in their lives...
9- Be sure to put the unused pups up for adoption...
Fighting:
1- Fights will be decided by an administrator unless one participant has already agreed to loose...
2- They will be judged on post length and descriptiveness along with grammar and spelling.
3- Karma number will have an affect on the winner. Someone with 6 Karma will most likely loose to someone with 70 Karma.
4- Karma is awarded for lengthy posts, high activity, helpfulness within the rp and the like.
5- Fights can take place whenever and where ever...
6- There is to be no powerplaying/godmodding! All attacks must be left open ended so the player who is being attacked can decide whether they are hit or not. Example: "bob charged bill, jaws wide and a bite aimed at his foreleg." Never: "bill bite down on bob's leg" No! That's powerplaying and you simply don't do it...
7- You cannot kill another character without permission from the player or the administrators.
8- There is to be no unlimited dodging. You may dodge three times in a row at maximum. On the fourth attack, you must be hit regardless. If this is a critical hit, the admins will grant the other player permission to kill your character.
9- Don't whine to us if your character dies. It happens, get over it. If you pester us about it too much, we will simply ban you.
10- No one's dog is invincible or ultra strong or ultra fast. If you challenge a bear with even a big dog like an akita, you're not going to bring it down in one hit, nor will you probably walk away uninjured. Bears are extremely powerful and it takes a lot to bring one down...
Packs:
1- You can create your own packs but you must pm me for permission.
2- You should have at least five followers before requesting a pack. Less than that wouldn't be much of a pack at all, more like a hunting party just without the humans...
3- Hunting parties work the same way only they're much smaller. Two humans is enough for a hunting party so tell me if you want one...
4- All pack Ranks are to be posted in that pack's territory along with a small pack description.
5- The only way to gain territory in the wilderness is to forcefully take it from the Greater Wild Dogs or to simply ask them permission to stay on their lands.
6- Territory in the Town is allowed and claimable by stray dog packs. Simply pm me first and then go post your Ranks...
7- There won't be many packs at first so you're better off joining one that already exists...
8- All other rules are based on the pack you're joining/creating. Things like mating, the exact ranking system, what the various rules mean and so on...
#1 Rule: Have a blast!
