Rules

[Admin]

Rules in bold are new rules.

[/blockquote]

General

[/center][/size]

• No sexist talk. No racist talk. And no being rude to members or staff. Failure to comply with this rule could get you banned.
  
• You may have no more than one or two pictures in your signature. If the signature stretches the page at all, you will be asked to re size it or remove it. You may have links to pictures in your signature if there are to many and they stretch the page.
  
• No popularity polls. They are annoying and will just be deleted.
  
• You must be at least 13 to join. If we find out you are younger than that you will be banned until you turn 13, at which time you may return.
  
• Your charrie MAY NOT challenge the main pack lands. Only lands under the sub boards are allowed to be challenged. Also, you may own ONE or TWO lands. No more.
  
  
  Posting

[/center][/size]
[/li][li]All IC posts must be at least 100 words, but more is encouraged.
[/li][li]Use complete sentences and try to use good grammar and spelling. There is a spell check you know.
[/li][li]Cursing is allowed IC and OOC, but do not abuse this or it will be removed.
[/li][li]What happens IC stays IC. Meaning, if your character gets in a fight or has a disagreement do not let it carry over into OOC and cause trouble.
[/li][li]When posting in a board, if there is a form then please use it!
[/li][li]Please make your posts look nice. Post in size 1 and use the blockquote tags. This is not required, but it makes your posts look much neater and can even make them look longer.
[/li][li]No powerplaying or god modeling!

Characters

[/center][/size]
[/li][li]You must be accepted by a staff member before you can post in any of the roleplay boards.
[/li][li]You may have as many characters as you can keep active.
[/li][li]This is a realistic street dog RPG, so no wings or powers or anything of that sort. And absolutely no wolves, coyotes, or dingo's. Only domesticated dog breeds are allowed.
[/li][li]Please don't make any homosexual or bisexual characters. Nothing against homosexual and bisexual people.
The codeword is broken
[/li][li]You may use your own form as long as you include all of the required information.

Breeding

[/center][/size]
[/li][li]Graphic breeding is only allowed in the password protected board. PM a staff member for the password.
[/li][li]Rapes will not always result in a litter.
[/li][li]Only an admin can do litter stats.
[/li][li]Please be realistic when it comes to breeding. A chihuahua is not going to be able to breed with a great dane and vice versa. And even if they could, the mother would probably die during birth because the pups would be to large.
[/li][li]Litter sizes will vary depending on the breed of both parents as well as the health of the mother. But there is a maximum of ten pups per litter.

Fighting

[/center]
[/li][li]Fights will take place in the land that is being challenged for.
[/li][li]A staff member will judge the fight once it is finished.
[/li][li]A fight consists of 3 attacks and 2 dodges. But you do not have to play all of your attacks and dodges, you may end the fight early if you want.
[/li][li]A fight will be judged based on several things: grammar, spelling, descriptive, quality over quantity, no powerplaying or godmodeling, and anything else the staff see fit.
[/li][li]Just because your post is longer does not mean you will win, a long post has to be interesting and engaging and not just go on and on about nothing. If you wrote a short post you have just as much of a chance to win as somebody with a longer post.
[/li][li]After a land has been challenged for it cannot be rehcallenged for by anyone for two weeks.

Hierarchy

[/size]
[/li][li]The alpha male is in charge, what he says goes. If you disobey him he has the right to punish you in any way he sees fit except killing you.
[/li][li]Alpha males may powerplay slightly over the rest of the pack.
[/li][li]The alpha female may powerplay over lower ranking pack members slightly.
[/li][li]The beta pair may powerplay over lower ranking pack members slightly.

Males

[/center][/size]
[/li][li]May claim land.
[/li][li]May fight for food, females, or rank.
[/li][li]May force breed.
[/li][li]May not breed until at least one year of age.

Females

[/center][/size]
[/li][li]May claim land, but once they find an alpha male he will be of slightly higher rank than her.
[/li][li]May fight for food or rank.
[/li][li][May not breed until at least one years of age. But if it results in a pregnancy the pregnancy will be higher risk and the pups will probably have more health problems.

Pups

[/size]
[/li][li]Must obey all pack members.
[/li][li]May play fight.
[/li][li]May not claim land.
[/li][li]May not claim females.
[/li][li]Are considered pups until one year of age, then they are considered juveniles until three years of age.[/size][/li][/ul]
