Threads [role-playing]

• When you post in an rp thread please specify in the beginning which character you are rping. Things can get a bit confusing XD

Breeding and Birthing

• For making things simple we'll say you character must be at least a year and a half old before it can start to mate.
  
  
• Can only breed within the species and subspecies.
  
  
• No successful force breeding.
  
  
• Females will give birth in about 3 to 4 weeks, no matter the animal.
  
  
• Members (of the mating animals) and staff will come up with a decent number of offspring.
  
  
• Members ( of the mating animals) do have a choice to role-play one of the offspring, and the rest of the offspring will be role-played by other members of choice picked by the “mating” members.
  
  
• The Members will setup the stats of the newborns before birth so it gives others a chance to see if they like the choices given.
  
  
• The newborns will be able to be role-played in about 2 to 3 weeks after birth whether they have someone to role-play them.
  
  
• Please do not get graphic with mating scenes.
  
  
• There will be a board to post in when the characters have mated, to let everyone know to expect newborns.
  

Deaths

• Fighting is allowed, but again NO massive blood of gore.
  
  
• No killing is allowed unless both members are ok and a staff member has been informed.
  
  
• Having your character die can happen in one of a few ways.
  1. Sickness
  2. Old Age
  3. Accidents (such as oil spills, and natural disasters)
  4. Fighting
  
  

Activity [/u]

• Must be active and log in at least once a week and please post in a thread each week.
  
  
• If you are unable to reach a computer and will not be able to be very active, please notify me or post in the absentee board.
  
  
• If inactive for an entire month without posting in the absence board or letting a staff know your characters will be put up for adoption.
  
  
• Result in not following the rules and harassing others, banishment will be the next step. Also foul language, etc. (warnings will be issued first.) 3 strikes and you’re out! For a limited time of course, unless you’re a repeated offender.
  
  
• Last letter is E
  
  

OOC

• Please be courteous to other members. Just because your character has an issue with another doesn't mean you need to have one against a fellow OOC (Out of Character).
  
  
• Please be careful with foul language. It will not be tolerated.
  
  
• If you're the type of person to join a forum to harass and bother other members, then this site is not for you.
  
  
• If anyone encounters a problem on the site, or another member, please contact me or one of our moderators to help. We will get things all straightened out.
