OK, these rules are put here for a REASON. Follow them, or there will be consequences. I will explain every rule, and tell why I put them up.
When you post, PLEASE use Third person instead of first person. It makes is easier for us all. For those of you who do NOT know what third person is, heres an example (Your swiftpaw):
Third Person
His eyes shifting between the two new comers, Swiftpaw backed away slowly. He couldn't win this fight; it was clear to everyone. If he even tried to throw a bite, it would've been instantly blocked...
First Person
My eyes shifting between the two new comers, I backed away slowly. I couldn't win this fight; it was clear to everyone. If I even tried to throw a bite, it would've been instantly blocked...
See how it looks better with third person? So please, try to write with THIRD PERSON, instead of first person. If anyone breaks this rule, they will have a 33% warning.
Also, please make your posts 120 words or more. This rule does not apply to OOC (out of character) conversations. But, seriously people, if you worked for hours on a single post, trying to pack all of the best descriptions in it, and you sit there hoping for a great reply, wouldn't you be mad if the only reply you got was:
"Hi." Bryan said.
Please please PLEASE try! Honestly, how hard is it to do 120 words? It's not! Just count the words, or, better yet, if you have Microsoft word, USE WORD COUNT. It helps, and saves time. Just remember, I'll be reading every post by everyone. And if you think it's impossible, just try it. You will get 33% warning if you use under 120 words.
ONE POST PER PERSON! I can't even tell you how annoying that is if someone has more than one post per round!
Example (your Ann):
1. Ann 2. Rosepetal 3. Ann 4. Ann 5. Ann 6. Ann
NO! Very bad! Don't do that! Do it like this:
1. Ann 2. Rosepetal 3. Ann 4. Rosepetal 5. Ann 6. Rosepetal
Good! Do this! It would be greatly appreciated! How would you feel if someone asked you something in a post, and then you typed a long reply. You post your reply, and find out that in the time it took you to type the post, the person(s) that you were RPing with has made five other posts. Wouldn't that make you mad? Either way, you get a 33% warning if you do that.
RAPE- Males may rape females. DO NOT GET GRAPHIC WITH THE RAPING! Plus, no auto-rape, give the other lion a chance to react, and don't rape every female you come across! It's gross, and unless they are from your Pride, NO BREEDING WITH THEM.
NO PORN- EW! No! If you're a girl, would you really wanna see another girl in some guy's signature? What about you good guys out there? Exactly! And if you're a guy, would you want to see some other guy with no clothes on? Honestly...the idea of seeing people with no clothes on...to me, it's kind of weird. Plus, CHILDREN ON THIS SITE CAN SEE IT TOO! In your signature, if you have a picture of someone naked, anime or not, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED.
NO SEXUAL HARASSMENT- In RP or not, it's a big pet peeve of mine. Don't ask why, IT JUST IS. Anyone who does this will also have their account deleted.
SEXUAL CONTACT- None of that! You may breed, but please just post the genetics, and then the Admins will come back to you with the cubs. NO SEXUAL CONTENT! KEEP IT G-RATED!
CUSSING- Cussing IS allowed. But words like the F-bomb and the S-bomb are not allowed! You may name certain parts of the body, like the male part or the female part, but please USE THE CORRECT NAMES! Also, words like pissed are allowed.
NO RACIST COMMENTS- I have had to put up with this kind of stuff for FOREVER! I hate it! So what if some person's skin is black? I. Don't. Care. I will still be his or her friend, nobody's going to tell me that because that person is different, we can't be friends. I don't approve of any of this stuff! Black people are black, Mexicans are Mexicans, white people are white, and Indians are Indians! WE ARE ALL PEOPLE, AND WE SHOULD ALL BE TREATED LIKE PEOPLE! Anyone, I don't care who it is, will have their account deleted if they say anything that is considered racist!
NO SEXIST COMMENTS- I HATE THOSE! For the same reason as the racist stuff! I'm all for "Girls Rule" and "Girl Power" and all that stuff, but don't the boys deserve a bit of good sayings too? I mean geez! Girls, think about a world without boys. Sounds great, right? WRONG. Do a bit of studying! And boys? A world without girls, and all guys would totally rule, right? Again, WRONG. Those of you who agree with me, YOU ARE GOOD PEOPLE. World peace sounds great and all, but there will always be fighting in the world. The world isn't a perfect place. There is a lot of bad in the world, but more good then bad. Just please, DON'T MAKE A SEXIST OR A RACIST COMMENT! NOT ONE! If you do, your account will be DELETED!
OTHER- If you hurt someones feelings in role playing, it is fine. But if you hurt someones feeling in real life, that person can message me and I will take care of it. C'mon, it's just dumb! If someone asks you to stop doing something, STOP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING! If you don't, I'll put in a 66% warning. No joke. Also, if someone has a Privet thread, IT IS PRIVET UNLESS THEY SAY SO OTHERWISE.
Pride members, are NOT allowed to go anywhere out of there territory, unless its in another Pride territory, ONLY to tell something to their leader. Pride Lions/Lionesses are not allowed in anywhere besides their own pride, because its not like that, and its just silly to do it here... .we have no reason to go anywhere but our territry in the first place.
You aren't allowed to make more then 1 account! Because some people make a new one everyday, and we can't have that happening, its just easier for everyone not to have much accounts. ONE ACCOUNT PER PERSON. KEEP ALL YOUR LIONS ACTIVE.
This is for the Leader's places! EVERYONE HAS TO READ EVERYTHING THE LEADER POSTS! If you don't, you'll get a warning.
This is all about mates, People are rude and annoying! I mean, they barely know who that lion is, but they want a mate desperatly so they go after them! NO, NO, NO! You have to know the lion, get to know them, and get to know other lions, don't just plan who you are going to mate with before you join! Just say, if your a Lioness, you go after the FIRST Lion you meet! Even if its from a different Pride or not! It stupid, you made one thread with them and automatically fall in love, COME ON! From now on, you CAN'T ask to be someones mate in a PM, if an admin finds out, WARNING! and you can't just fall in love in one thread! That is NOT how we do things.
Please try to spell correctly. The computer may underline a word in your post that was spelled in correctly, but it won't correct a grammar mistake, so please just try to make it so your post makes since.
No auto-hitting! Please, it gets very annoying! Anyone who does auto-hit will get a warning!
Here is an example of an auto-hit for all of you who don't know what an auto-hit is:
Laelia whipped out her claws and rushed toward the other Lion. When she was a little less than an inch away from him, she aimed her claws for the other lion's neck, killing him.
NO! That's bad! Here's how you're supposed to post:
Laelia whipped out her claws and rushed toward the other Lion. When she was a little less than an inch away from him, she aimed her claws for the other lion's neck, Hoping her claws would meet his flesh
So yeah. An one more thing:
IF YOU HAVEN'T LOGGED ON THIS WEB SITE IN TWO WEEKS WITHOUT TELLING ONE OF THE ADMINS, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED.
Thanks! Post below saying you've read the rules!
