II. RULES

[Dusk]

____________ ... ____________

GENERAL
____________ ... ____________

Please respect site administration and fellow roleplayers. There is no tolerance to rudeness or discrimination of any kind. This also includes hateful or bashing comments directed at another Role Player/Admin, particularly those dealing with gender, race, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin.

Please have at least 10 sentences in each post you make. Use spell check to correct spelling grammar, and try to use good grammar. Keep chatspeak out of IC posts, and minimally OOC. Use Third Person when posting.

TRP is rated PG-13. This means that In-Character posts may contain profanity, sexual content and violence. Any threads involving explicit sex, violence/gore and profanity are not allowed. This will be determined by Administration. Participating in the use of mild PG-13 threads are up to each members discretion.


Please do not spam within the forums or chatbox. Advertisement of your own site is permitted only within the Guest Board. If someone is spamming with you with personal messages please report it immediately to authorities with a screenshot. If you're unable to take a screenshot copy and paste everything. If you are caught spamming you will be immediately be blocked from that area. This will be lifted around 3 weeks or so, depending on the case.

Please no stealing. We do not need someone's format taken and used as someone else's work. That is a crime and may get our website shut down. If you are going to use something of someone else's, PM the administrator the link from the original image or give their credits when you use it. This prevents copyright and allows us to be a clean site.

Absolutely no Mini-modding. Mini-modding is when a member tries to enforce rules when it's the higher authorities responsibility to do so. This is the same for IC and OCC. If you see this occur, immediately tell authorities by PMing with a screenshot or copied content.

In regards to the Chat box. Use common sense. We ask that you please be polite by refraining from topics that could spark conflict. Keep things PG-13, as it is on the site and forums. If you're choose to be inappropriate, you will be banned after three warnings.

____________ ... ____________

ACCOUNT
____________ ... ____________

Please do not create multiple accounts for each character you have. You are allowed seven characters. From then on, you must buy a new character with the points system.

No usernames that give 18+ gestures. No account usernames with special characters. We ask that you also refrain from using your real name for safety purposes. Please spare us from usernames like "M00niewoofie12". The best usernames are the simplest.


Profile images can only be 133 x 200 or smaller. If you want a signature image, it must be 500 x 103. This will keep the forums from stretching and being distorted. We also ask you to please not use neon flashing, or highly saturated graphics. If this is violated, the pictures will be removed or replaced.

____________ ... ____________

CHARACTERS
____________ ... ____________

Odd color eyes and markings are accepted, within reason. For example, rather then "blood red" eyes you could choose "maroon" eyes. Blind wolves are allowed. Magical powers or other features are not permitted.

Wolves only. Other species are not permitted. Keep in mind the specific breeds that would most likely be found in TRP's territory. Maned wolves are not accepted.

IC drama does not go OOC. If it does, or IC drama becomes an issue, Administration will get involved. Events OOC should not reflect while IC, please keep this in mind.

Humans are nonexistent in TRP. Your characters have no knowledge of them.

____________ ... ____________

ACTIVITY
____________ ... ____________

If you are planing on leaving for a few day/weeks, please go to the Absence Board so you can notify us about you leaving. If you do not, your account WILL be deleted without hesitation.

Try and post at least once a week! This isn't very hard to do.

Making an application and then leaving it in the [WIP] Application forum for more than a week will be moved to the Stand By forum. After that week without being claimed, we will copy and PM you the application and allow you to make a new topic.

____________ ... ____________

BREEDING
____________ ... ____________

Considering TRP is almost entirely realistic, mating is the same.

"Casanova Wolves" are allowed, but have consequences. Casanova Wolves are loner males that will come to the borders of other territories of packs and breed with the lesser ranking females of a pack. Alphas can/will inflict punishment for this, and Staff has no authority over this.

Heat starts in late winter anywhere from January to March. Alphas can punish subordinate pack mates by not allowing them to breed. Omegas are not allowed to breed at all. Pups are born in the spring.

____________ ... ____________

FIGHTING
____________ ... ____________

Like in the wild, wolves fight for what they want. On TRP however, there are a few limitations.

The only types of fights allowed on TRP are as follows: A rank challenge is between two wolves, one trying to claim a rank and the other defending it. A mate challenge is made where one wolf may challenge for another's mate. A spar is mostly considered practice between two wolves and may be used to settle small arguments and disagreements as well. Spars are not often judged by staff unless the contenders request it.

If there is too much conflict from a fight, then a poll will be created and members will choose who they see fits to win. Pressuring or attempts to sway the opinions of members IC and OOC is strictly prohibited.
