[/color]GENERAL
- Be sure to tell us when you are going to be away, just so you don't risk deletion if we have a spontaneous activity check.
- This site is rated PG - PG-13 which means it deals with mature themes and coarse language. We suggest that you be at least 13 if you join but if you think you can handle it and your under that age, go right ahead, we honestly don't care.
- HAVE FUN! After all, that is what we are here for right?
- Make sure to respect everyone and no fighting in the cbox. If there is fighting in the cbox it will be removed.
ROLEPLAYING[/color]
- We have already given you the luxury of having an application that requires no extensive thinking. Therefore, we would like to put a 200 minimum on all posts. If you don't have the muse to post 200 words, than don't post. I personally would rather have to wait a month for a reply than get a crappy 50 word one in a day.
- Also, start off with only five characters. If you think that you can handle more, then that, PM one of the admins. However, if we think that you are not keeping them all active, than we will ask you to give one up. NEW Foals do not count to this limit. So, even if you have five max horses and have a foal, you can keep it and if you are a staff member playing a God, they don't count for that five max either.
- We don't want any Mary Sues or Gary Stus at this site. Everyone has weaknesses, even the prettiest of people. If I think that your character is acting like either of those, I will send you a link to a test to see if it is. And you must be honest with the results. However, if you would like to check anyways, the test can be found here
- No god-modding please. You can't just say that "She kicked him and he fell over and started bleeding" However, you can't just dodge all shots either. That makes you not fun to RP with.
- NEW If someone posts 1000 words, you need to post at least 700. You can post 300 less than the person before you posted. This is JUST A SUGGESTION and out of respect for the people who do post a lot. THIS IS NOT ALWAYS A REQUIREMENT. It is understandable if you post under that 300 less limit. You can post 400 under or less even if you can get in enough detail.
GRAPHICS[/color]
- Sigs can be no larger than 500x300. You may use two 200x300 blocks.
- In posts and apps, images may not stretch the page. If they do, you will get a PM and it will be removed by an admin.
- Please credit everyone that you get images from, it is only polite. I don't want anyone at caution or any other graphic resource site coming over here saying that someone didn't credit them.
- If you can make graphics, please contact the admin with some examples. That may mean promotion to a graphics mod position.
CHARACTERS[/color]
- Gods do not need to have a bio made and accepted since there is already a page of them that says who plays them.
- You can only have one Demigod character for every three mortal horses. If your first character is a Demigod, then you are required to make three mortals before you can make another Demigod. NEW Foals born on the site from a God to a mortal will not count in your Demigod limit.
- Mortal horses can only have one power to start out with. Demigods start out with two powers and then more can be bought if you really want them to have more, just remember, your horse is never stronger than the Gods.
- Gods can only be played by staff, sorry, but it just makes life easier. However, there may be other canons that you can apply for later on as the plot unfolds.
- You are not required to age your horse unless they are under the age of three, just because no one wants to play a foal forever usually.
- All horse can have odd colored markings and odd eye colors, they just can't be glow in the dark or neon colors.
- Demigods will take after their parents in shades. All of Poseidon's kids can be a variation of roan colors, same with Artemis, but they have the silver gene. Zeus's and Apollo's kids will be bright colors, like cremello, palomino, perlino, ect. Hades's and Are's kids will be all dark colors such as black, dark bay and any shade of gray except white-gray. Athena's kids can be any color, but they have to have a silver gene.
- Ares & Athena are siblings as are Apollo & Artemis and the Big Three. However, all demigods can breed together unless it is with someone that shares the same godly parent as them. Reason: None of the Gods have genes, but it would just be weird for sons and daughters of Athena to make foals, ect.
- All demigods are regular horse breeds. Yes, their Godly parent is mythical and all, but they are the same breed as their mortal parent.
- If you are really lucky and get on the good side of the Big Three, they can make you immortal, but that isn't going to happen often and please don't ask unless one of the Big Three sends you a message about it. However, if you do ask, your horses life can be cut in half if they are unworthy.
- Since life is full of surprises, not all horses have to be heterosexual. They can be homosexual and bisexual, just no same gender hook-ups please.
FIGHTING/STEALING[/color]
- No graphic fighting. No one wants to read about insides falling out. That's just a little too much.
- When you steal, you must write a poem and it must have at least three hints in it. There will be other rules in the actual board.
- Mares can steal stallions and stallions can steal mares.
- Stallions and mares can claim land and fight for land. So if a stallion owns land and a mare challenges him, he has to fight her.
- When fighting, you have three attacks and two dodges before it will be judged by a staff member. Make sure you notify someone.
BREEDING/CLAIMING[/color]
- NO GRAPHIC BREEDING! This is a big no-no. Yes, you can play it out, but don't describe it in detail. You can also not play it out, but make sure to pm an admin either way so that we can give you foal stats.
- Mares must be pregnant for at least one real life week.
- There will be no specific season and you're horses can breed whenever they want, but mares must wait at least one real life month before breeding again. They can age their foal every week until it is one during that month, then it will age every year.
- One of the Gods will reply to your land claim, it depends on which God's allegiance land you are claiming in on which one will reply to you. So, Hades to Hades. Poseidon to Poseidon. Zeus to Zeus.
- Mares can be force bred, but only if it is okay with other players and only if the stallion is following the allegiance of Hades. I can't see the other alliances doing stuff like that.
- Mares and stallions alike can be claimed. There is a claiming ground they can go to or they can just travel into a land, but be careful. Each herd will have an allegiance to one of the Gods.
- Please post this form at the bottom of your post after you have bred to another horse. The player of the mare must post their own stats and the player of the stallion must post their own stats.
