[attr="class","ws-clearance"]
[attr="class","clearance-title"]FINE TUNED RULES
[attr="class","clearance-header"]FOR ALL YOUR QUESTIONS
[attr="class","clearance-content"]
- We have no character limit, BUT there is a limit of 3 characters your first week. After you prove to remain active for a week, you are allowed any number of characters. Beware though, because if they do not stay active come the monthly activity checks they will be placed on restrictions and then eventually deleted if activity doesn't go up.
- Universe set semi-realistic in the 1950s. Please keep your histories in time with this. No treadmills, not everyone has a TV, etc etc etc.
- As an avid roleplayer, and a writer, it always bothers me when roleplaying with yourself is banned or frowned upon. I know that it's difficult for some people to keep up with threads but that doesn't mean that the active players should suffer. Please try to keep threads where it is all your own characters to a minimum but exceptions will be made I'm sure. You may also include other characters in on single reply in a thread, but you will not receive any extra bones for the post.
- No Godmodding/Powerplay, no killing other characters without their play's consent, make sure to forewarn the admins, and try to mention in a little OOC (out of character) note that this is a consented act.
- No overly graphic breedings/births. Forcebreeding is allowed via plots, female's player's consent needed.
- Time moves at a normal pace here. Originally, time was set to move twice as quickly, where every two weeks counted as a moon (approximately one month) and the seasons lasted twice as long. However, we didn't seem to be able to fit everything in to such a condensed amount of time and as decided in late February, 2014, the admins made the decision to "slow time" as it were.
- If activity slows, admins retain the right to "pause time" as it were. We know that many of us have school and seasonal things that draw us all from this (this is a hobby, after all, not a full time job) and if you believe you will be gone for an extended period of time, please just post in the Absence thread so we know that you're busy and plan on coming back once finals or whatever it is is over.
- One Account Per Character. Why? Because on Proboards (yes, freeforums is a proboards site) you have a master account that is linked to all your characters, allowing you to press the button in the bottom right hand corner of your screen (the two little people beside the settings gear). I know a lot of people don't like this but with Version 5 allowing linked accounts there really is no reason that it should be confusing. This way we may add age and other information per character and individual currency.
- You can indeed make any kind of dog, wolf or cat (domestic/wild cat, not large cat breeds), but picking a rare breed of either is tricky. Why? Well, if someone on the site has one made already, your character may not be accepted, unless it's an adoption for family. No fake colors, eyes, fur or otherwise. Animals outside the realm of canines and felines may be made, once you have paid for the character (See the Shop). Any canines that may seem TOO STRANGE (I.E. Hyenas, African Wild Dogs, etc) and any large cats (I.E. Lions, Cougars, Tigers, Bobcats, etc) will also be put into this category. If you wish to make a a rat or a fox, you may for a lesser fee. [EDIT: As of May 2014, Cats are considered "Commonplace" characters and can be made in the same fashion as the canines with little restrictions to them. Please know this is only in references to "domestic" cats. They can be wild but it's referring to small "house" cats, not pumas or any lions or Gods know what you may try to fudge in there.
- Eye Colors Allowed: Yellow, Gold, Amber, Blue, Green, Black. White only available for those with cataracts.
- High Positions: Anyone is allowed to try and obtain a position, just look and see what positions are available where and then apply. If you need help feel free to ask the admins or any other members! Some positions need to be auditioned for by sending a message to the admins, others may refer to the leader of the group/pack/clan your character is in.
- Currency may be transferred between your accounts to purchase items. There is a form in the Shop Thread to state how much you wished transferred and what accounts are included in the transfer.
- Packs/Clans/Tribes may be created, there is a form with the guide lines in Character Creation. Characters may have litters, there is a form with the guide in the Plotting Board.

[attr="class","clearance-title"]POLITICS AND RULES
[attr="class","clearance-header"]Just the basics:
[attr="class","clearance-content"]
- Don't try to impersonate staff or other members. Because it's a really bad idea.
- Be Respectful to EVERYONE. No bashing of other people's religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation or race.
- Take Fights and Arguments off the site, please. They begin as entertaining and then quickly become annoying.
- We won't limit character creation, but we will have monthly activity checks and we will be making sure all the characters are being played, or they will be made inactive.
- We have a board for questions if you have any, do not hesitate to make a thread or PM the admins. I am on daily and if I am not on when you are, simply PM or skype me (listed below). I get both to my phone.
- All the normal general rules you'll see in rps apply here.
- No spamming.
- Try to limit swearing. Keep in mind we have a skype group if you wish to avoid spamming the cbox with plot ideas or curse like a pirate (like me). Simply PM me and I can add you. My personal Skype is "VampireLouislove" and if you tell me who you are when you add me I'll add you to the group.
- Sometimes the CBox is weird and says a name is already registered. Likely it is not. Simply click on the "profile" link under the "Go" button and add a password to the desired name. If you continue to have problems PM me and I shall personally add the name myself.
