General Rules
IC Rules
- Whining.
Whining about the decisions the mods or admins have made is a fantastic way to get banned from the site. We work hard at keeping this place running smoothly—even if we fail sometimes, at least we’re working at it. Don’t bitch at us for our decisions; if you want, PM one of the mods and they will bring it up with the other staff to discuss it and see if action should be taken. - Fights.
Fighting, quite simply, sucks—it usually tears the forum apart and causes the entire site to go on hiatus, if not close, just because of the amount of vitriol there is amongst the members. If you have a problem with someone, take it to a mod, and they’ll mediate. If you’re still not happy, ask for it to be discussed amongst the staff, and we’ll do that. - Pornography.
Absolutely none of it. Explicitly sexual content in roleplay? Take it to PM. We don’t want to see it. - Maturity.
Please, try to act mature about the things around the forum. Yes, testicles, gigglegigglegiggle, just because you’re 13 doesn’t mean you have to act like a dipshit. This includes not making IC hatred into OOC hatred and vice versa—likely if you’re doing this you’re too young to be roleplaying, period, and you need to detach from your precious characters a little.
IC Rules
- We Kill Mary-Sues Here.
Yes, we do. Usually we simply won’t approve Mary Sues—the “stereotypical” roleplaying characters, such as the princess of Kingdom such-and-such, or the half-fairy/half-wolf, or the wildly depressive, irritating emo character who’s always contemplating suicide, or… okay, you get the point. Usually we won’t approve these characters, but if we think there’s Mary-Suing going on, you’ll need to change your character or face penalties. And for gods’ sakes, people, if you see Mary-Suing going on in this board, report it to us. We will deal with it. - Minimum Word Count.
Yes, it’s official: Wordcount is your friend. You should, at the very least, have 150 words per post—that’s the absolute minimum. If you do not, you will be penalized—and chronic lowposting will lead to a ban. - Drowning In Characters.
You may have five characters. That’s it. Any more than that and it gets confusing, though we recommend you stick to something more like two or three, which is a much more manageable number. Also, you must have a separate account for each character to prevent confusion. If you don’t want to make an account, PM one of our friendly admins with your email address and we’ll even do it for you. (Limited while low activity lasts.) - Wah, My Muse Is Gone! My Character Now = Ded.
Even if you don’t want to, you must roleplay out some sort of death of your character—even if it is just a suicide. Have them jump off a cliff, just don’t leave and let the other players hang. It’s rude. - Look Ma! Issa Rainbow Wolf!
We insist that you have normal coat colours for your wolf. Eye colours and markings are fair game—this is fantasy, after all. And no, your character may not have markings like Amaterasu in Okami. - Look Ma! Issa Rambo Wolf!
Yes, it’s that old “no godmoding” rule we have—and you can’t powerplay, either, because it usually leads to disagreements and other bad things. If you can’t take a hit, you’ll be penalized, and repeated instances of your wolf turning into Rambo will lead to a ban. Note, however, that the Daracha, the Taliel, the Yazha and the Lliso are the most battle-ready characters in the game. - Eww, Pedophilia!
Both Servants and Hellhounds are not generally mentally and emotionally ready for romantic love until about the time they’re a year and a half old; Servants won’t be old enough to mate until they’re two, whereas Hellhounds, who mature faster, will reach the maturity at one and a half years.
