Well, these are the rules. You must read them all and follow them as best as you can. If you cannot follow them or choose not to follow them then you can and will be banned.
This is a wild horse RPG so please just keep that in mind.
General Rules
Well, these are the rules! Now go out and RP!
This is a wild horse RPG so please just keep that in mind.
General Rules
- No Godmoding
This means that you do not know everything. You can tell a member that they are powerplaying or they are breaking a rule, but do not pretend that you know everything. Everyone is wrong sometimes. If there is something very serious that needs to be delt with, then PM me (Horsegirl) and I will deal with it. - No Powerplaying
((Example of powerplaying))
Stormy reared into the air, pawing at the air. When she came back down to the ground she lunged at Fire. (Saying Fire is the other person's character) She bit Fire and Fire started bleeded badly and fell to the ground.
You do not know if you acctually bit Fire because you do not know what Fire did. He could have dodged it. Even if Stormy did bite Fire, then Fire still might not have fallen to the ground. It is the other member's character. You can not control their character. - When posting out of character then either put OOC: in front of it or ((parentises)) around what you say.
When you talk out of character (ooc) then you are saying someting to the other person, not your character.
Ex: Holly walked over to Angel.
((What did you have for dinner?)) - Respect Everyone
This means, respect the admin, the mods, the other members...everyone. It also means that NO OOC fights are permitted. - Good Spelling and Grammer are Required
Everyone makes mistakes every once in a while, but try not to do it in every post. Use spell check if you must. You wont get banned if you can't spell every word correct, it just makes other members happier ((like me)). - No advertising in the C-box
No advertising in the c-box! (or anywhere else at that manner) We have an advertising board on the general board so if you would like to advertise then do it there. Also, if you would like to affiliate us the PM (personal message) me (Horsegirl) with your banner to your page and you must put the galloping hooves banner on your page.
Character/Herd Rules - Only horses are allowed
You may only have horse characters. All other characters will be deleted unless you have special permission to have them. - You may have as many as you like
Please put all your characters on one thread please. Like I will put Horsegirls's Characters, then I will put all my characters on that thread. I will make a new post when I want to add a new character. - Delete all characters not in use
If you are just not posting with a character, then go delete them please. It just takes up space when you have so many characters not in use. - When you first make your horse, its rank is a herd member.
When you make your horse, you will choose its herd and also see an option for rank. Just put herd member until you have acctually got a rank in the herd. ((See a few rules below for more information)) - Stallions may forcebreed
If your mare is in heat, a stallion may forcebreed it, no matter what the rank. Mare's can fight back, and they are as strong or weak as the person who plays them makes them. Also, the mate of the mare can fight off the other stallion so usually the forcebreeder wont stand a chance if the mare's mate is around. Even if the stallion is from another herd, it can still forcebreed the mare and the foal belongs to the mare's herd. - The lead stallion can breed with any mare
The lead stallion can breed with any mare in his herd. He may choose not to, but if a mare is in heat and there is no stallion to breed with her, then the lead stallion can. - When your character dies, then you may make him over again as a foal
These ghost horses never die. Once your horse get's killed, you may re-create it as a foal. If you have a mare, then let it get bred one way or another. If you do not have a mare, then just make it with unknown linage. - You must decide your horse's rank after you acctually get a rank in the herd you choose to have your horse in.
This means, that when you are making your horse, you cannot choose its rank then and there. Instead you must choose its herd, then go there, and then see what ranks are open. Then you have to make a post and have the alpha horse acctually decide it. When you first begin you are just a simple herd member, then you increase your rank over time.
Fighting Rules - You can only have one power for your character
When joining your character, you will see a list of power you may use. Choose only one for your horse, and that is the only power he/she may have. ((Except bitting, kicking, ect. The normal stuff for horses)) - Your horse is not invincible and cannot dodge every attack
When you are fighting another horse, your horse cannot dodge every attack. He will get hit once in a while. Also, if your horse gets sliced across the neck, he is dead. You cannot say that it was a mirical and he lived. He died. Get over it. - All horses are equal!
When you are fighting another horse, you cannot say... "Fire was much stronger then Daisy because Fire is a stallion and Daisy is a mare, so Fire attacked Daisy and killed her easily."
No, Daisy is just as strong as Fire, so she has just as much chance of winning the fight as Fire does. - All horses can fight
When a herd is being attacked, then all the horses can fight, not just the warrior horses. True, the warriors usually are the ones that fight and the caretakers stay back, but the caretaker horses can fight also.
Joining Rules - No acceptance needed
When you join and make your first character, you may just go out and rp. You do not need to wait to be accepted, though, remember to put all your characters on one thread. Like, I would make a thread called Horsegirls Characters, then when I would like to make more cherries I would just keep adding to that same thread.
The Most Important Rule Of All! - Have fun!
If you are not having fun, then you may quit. Don't come to me and tell me to change the whole plot just so you will enjoy it. Just leave and let the other members have fun ;D
Well, these are the rules! Now go out and RP!
