GENERAL

do not disrespect the staff or other members.

this is a wild horse rpg only. no penguins, dinosaurs, unicorns, zebras, water buffalos, etc. allowed - no matter how cool they are.

do not make humans.

spamming is not allowed.

do not talk racist, sexist, or speak against any religion to other members.

do not start out of character arguments with other members. i have seen many sites go down that way, and i do not want that happening on here.

all posts must be 300 words long. no exceptions.

swearing is allowed since the words are not censored, but keep it under control.

if you do not post as absent, you could be at risk of being deleted.

be aware of activity checks. i DO delete people who do not say they are active. but i do not delete people who are absent.

you may only insult people in character. do not insult someone out of character.

ra are the first two letters in the password.

be mature and respectful.

keep graphic breeding at a minimum. it is allowed, but i dont like seeing a lot of it, since there really is no need.

powerplaying is not allowed. [my definition of powerplaying is when you play the other person's character. it is NOT when you say where you hit the person when fighting.]


CLAIMING

only stallions can claim territories or positions.

when claiming a mare, you cannot force her into your herd. she has a choice.

you cannot claim a mare that you yourself play.

if you are claiming a terra, it must be in character. you cannot just say "this terra is mine" or something. it must be a full length post.

in are the second two letters in the password.

if the territory/position/mare is already owned, you must fight for it.

mare really can't claim anything.


FIGHTING

if your terra/mare/position is challenged for, you have three full days to respond.

if you do not respond within those 3 full days, the territory/mare/position belongs to the challenger.

challengers do not get the territory/mare/position on the third day. they technically get it on the fourth day.

you cannot refuse a challenge. if you do, the challenger automatically gets your terra/mare/position.

b is the next letter in the password.

mares can only challenge for positions.

you cannot challenge for a herd.

for normal herds - you cannot challenge until it has been two weeks since the last challenge in a territory.

for royal herds - you cannot challenge until it has been a month since the last challenge in the territory.

please look in talua for how fighting posts should go.


BREEDING AND FOALING

you may breed and foal at any time during any season.

graphic breeding is allowed, but keep it to a minimum. it's not nescessary.

if you dont want a foal, put it up for adoption, have someone else play it, kill it, or say it ran away.

there is no need to rp out foaling, so dont.

the next letter in the password is o.

the staff decides a foal's stats. you decide the name, the staff decides the stats.

please use the provided form in macculi for foaling.

do not ask for twins or a certain color for your foal. the staff will decide what you get.


OTHER

if you are going away, post in both the absent board and in your territory if you own one.

if a royal king gives you the death penalty, you die. you dont even have to rp it out, just die.

the last letter in the password is w.
