General
•You may use profanity, but please don't overdo it.
•Absolutely no insulting people or fighting out of character.
•If you break the rules unintentionally, that is easily forgiven, but intentionally repeated offenses will be punished with a warning and eventually a ban.
•Respect those in a higher position than you.
•This is an intermediate - advanced rpg. That means no scrawny posts. Posts less than one paragraph (at least seven sentences) are not acceptable.
•Absolutely no power playing of any kind is allowed. (that means controlling the action of another person's character without their consent)
Characters
•This is a wild horse rpg, meaning most characters should be horses, but if you wish to role play another animal, msg me and we can work something out.
•You may have more than one character, but I don't recommend more than three per account.
•Your equine must be of the light, neutral, or dark race.
•Your character is not allowed to have any special powers other than those he may receive from the Valley of Rindles
•A staff member will accept your character, but you don't have to wait to begin role playing.
•If a staffer finds an issue with your charrie's profile, don't argue, just fix it.
Mother Nature
•Mother Nature is one of the biggest deciding factors in everything here in the Land of Rindles. She controls the weather, she gives and takes powers, and has ultimate power in most everything.
•Mother Nature will usually help you with anything you need, as long as you are willing to do a favor for her in return. She will often ask you to complete tasks for her in exchange for something you want.
•Getting on her bad side is not a good idea. She can make your life miserable.
•Mother Nature is role played by the admin and gmods.
Royalty
•Royals are not chosen according to popularity or bloodlines. If there is not already someone holding the position you desire, msg me a sample post of the character you would like to fill that position with.
•Royals have the mark of a triangle on their foreheads, underneath their forelock.
•Royals are also staff members.
•If you have earned the right to become royalty, you must visit the Pond of Powers, where Mother Nature will present you with your power.
•A royal may not be challenged for their position until two weeks after receiving the title. They may keep their position for an indefinite period of time, depending on any challenges and the outcomes of those.
•Each equine holding a position of royalty will have a unique power.
•When a royal loses their position, their power and mark of royalty is automatically repealed.
•There is a lord and lady of each race. They are not necessarily mates, they just rule together.
•Once all the positions are filled, that is not the end of it. Any member is welcome to fight for the position.
•If you wish to fight for a position as royalty, you must present a challenge to the current holder of that position.
•If they accept, you must fight them according to the normal guidelines for fighting, but you might first consider visiting the Valley of Rindles to complete challenges and receive special powers or potions to aid you in fighting.
•If they decline or do not reply in five days, you automatically receive the position.
•If there is another member wishing to fight for the same position, you must first fight them. Whomever comes out victorious moves on to challenge royalty.
•The royals of each race have ultimate power over their race, but you must rule equally alongside the other lord/lady of your race.
•Royals are like the herd leaders of their race, like the president, or a monarch. They can choose whether to act as monarchs, dictators, or a democracy, but remember, you can be overthrown - you probably don't want to be on their bad side once you are no longer holding a position.
•Royals have a meeting place located under the category 'territory', called Realeza . There is a sub-board for each race under this board. They are password protected, so only royals and those they choose to provide the password with may see what they discuss. If a meeting is to be held between the royals of all races, it is to be held under this board.
•You may not have more than one character that is a royal.
•If you do not post for two weeks, you will be removed from your position.
Claiming Land
•There are 15 territories available for claimance, five for each race.
•Stallions and mares are allowed to claim land.
•You are encouraged to start a herd after you have claimed a territory.
•To claim land, you must make a post of a decent length about your character claiming land. The lord or lady of your race will reply in a post, accepting or declining your request for claimance.
•If you do not post for two weeks, you will lose your land.
Breeding
•You may breed in any season.
•You may only breed under the board "circle of life" under the sub-board "The Middle"
•Nothing graphic. At all. Please just either post the stats of each mate and say they bred. We want to appeal to all ages here, nothing inappropriate.
•Force breeding is allowed, but only in winter, and only if a mare is alone.
Foaling
•You may foal in any season, anytime after conception.
•You may only foal under the board 'circle of life' under the sub-board 'The beginning'.
•Please create a profile for the foal when you give birth.
•The staff will provide the gender, color, and height when mature of the foal once you post that it has been born.
•Please nothing too graphic. You can role play it out, but some people don't want to hear about bloody fluids, etc.
Fighting
•mares and stallions may fight.
•You may fight for honor, pleasure, mares, foals, positions, or land.
•Fights are only held at the Tiff Cliff.
•You have five attacks, and only one dodge.
•You may only use aids you receive from the Valley of Rindles in fights against royalty.
•If one character is killed during a fight, both parties must give consent.
•If you power play at all, you will receive a warning and if you do it again, you will be disqualified from the fight.
•Staffers will judge all fights the same. They will be judged on detail and role playing style. The more advanced you role play, the better you will score. There will be a total of 30 points available.
•The rules will be explained in more detail at the Tiff Cliff.
Staff
•I created the site, I am the admin. No arguments.
•I will pick several people over time whom I feel will make responsible moderators. Do not complain.
•So that this doesn't become a popularity contest, every member has the opportunity to become a staff member. The lord and lady of each race are also staff members.
•I will explain the duties of staff under the staff board.
If you have any questions, msg me.
