These rules are THE LAW on this site. If you break them, proper action will be taken.
~General rules~
* Keep insulting swearing to a minimum, I don't really care otherwise.
* Post all your characters in your signature, but please list them in columns according to their dominion.
* If you are going to be away for three days or more, you may post your name in the "Away" thread. This way, you cannot be challenged or claimed, and a mare cannot sneak from your land. (NOTE: This is only to be used by members who are actually AWAY and not just reaping the benefits of being on the list)
~RPing rules~
* No god-moding, or controlling other characters' actions.
* No killing other characters unless they approve.
* Characters must be accepted by a staff member before they can take part in the RP
* Characters can have abilities, but they can be stripped if misused.
* Once a character is created, it is SET IN STONE, and you can't change it.
* Please write in third person past tense. First person past tense is also acceptable as long as the name of the character is used as a heading at the top.
* For things that you say, use "quotations," and for things that you think, use italics.
* When creating new characters, use their name as the topic to the thread.
* When a character is created, PM a staff member to either accept it if it hasn't been yet and/or move it into your log(see list of staff).
* When a character dies, PM a staff member so they can move it to the RIP board.
* In some cases, horses may be eligible for resurrection. If you want your horse to be resurrected, PM a staff member.
*The thing I hate the MOST is when people attack fifty million times, and describe how it hits the opponent and what damage it does. YOU CANT DO THAT!!! Attack once and give them a chance to retaliate for crying out loud!!! That works both ways though, no character can be all powerful and never get hit.
~Rules For Stallions~
* You can claim mares for your land.
* Forcebreeding is allowed, but staff must know, because there is a possibility of the mare becoming pregnant.
* You can claim land.
* You can challenge for land.
* Stallions who own land can name and create rules for that land that the herd must follow.
~Rules For Mares~
* You can claim land, but would probably be overthrown by a stallion.
* You can become pregnant(staff determines through a very secret and random method)
~Foals~
* Staff determines gender and quantity(twins or not)
* Dam creates character log(make sure you put foal of (sire's name) and (dam's name) in the history) and the foal is her character.
~No-man's Lands~
* Mares who sneak from the land they are in must post a thread called A Mare Sneaks Away... or something of the sort in the Creeping Darkness board, and it must contain clues about the mare who is sneaking, and the land she is sneaking from. An admin must accept it by replying to it before it is valid, and then the Stallion of that land has exactly 72 hours to figure out which mare it is. If the stallion does not reply with this info within the time limit, then the mare successfully sneaks from the land.
* All dead characters are moved to the RIP board and can no longer be played.
~Human Rules~
* Humans can only have powers when they are in the horse world(that also means horses in the human world have no powers)
* Humans can only talk to horses in the horse world or, if in the human world, after they have established a trust bond.
* No horses or humans can cross the human-horse shape line except the Oracle, and cursed horses(humans can not turn into horses and humans can not turn into horses)
* Humans either live in the village or the outskirts, and must be allowed by the Oracle before entering the Horse World.
* Weapons are not allowed any special power unless that power is derived from the power a human has(meaning you cant have a weapon that does something special, but you can manipulate a weapon if that is your ability)
* No humans start with horses, but must bring one back from the horse world(sorta like a stallion claiming a mare, except a human captures a horse)
* It takes 1 human to restrain a foal, up to 3 to restrain a mare or stallion, and up to 4 to restrain an unruly mare or stallion.
* ABSOLUTELY NO GUNS!!!! (the only exception is Brian Nelson, who was made before this rule was made. If you want a reason why, I will gladly argue the unfair advantage they provide, and how they clash with other rules)
* No tazors! I mean, come on people, guns and tazors just take away the fun of a good fight.
* No automobiles of ANY type, that is why you have to go to the horse realm and catch a horse!!!
There are more rules coming, so keep an eye out.
