Rules


Yes, I know must everybody hates them, but to fully enjoy the game there must be rules. PLEASE read all of them, and be sure to understand what they mean. Scroll down to get to the rules for wolves...READ THEM IF YOU PLAN TO JOIN. That goes for equines and wolves...you don't want me mad at you.

General

1) No references to anything vulgar. Need I explain more? I am very strict about this rule, and I'm sure you don't want to find out for yourself.
2) Respect the other players! That goes for other horses as well.
3) No advertising anywhere except on the ad board.
4) Horses do not talk at all...you may, but for gosh sakes, keep it to a minimum!
5) At age two colts and fillies must be kicked out of the herd.
6) I don't care how difficult it may be...you must play like a real horse.

Mares

1) You do not have to go with the first stallion that claims you.
2) Mares may not claim a territory.
3) Force breeding is allowed...sorry, but that's how it is in the wild. *See Breeding for further information*
4) If you feel neglected, you may leave your lead stallion.

Stallions

1) I've seen problems with this in the past...so, I'll make it simple: Do NOT do this: ... Conclusion canters up to Dream and nuzzles her gently, nickering for her to join him in his territory. Before trotting off he places a rose in front of her hooves. ...
*Gags* If I see that, I will be mad...sorry, but that's just not how it is. I will give you 3 warnings, and after that if you persist to do this, I will delete your message from the board.
2) Stallions may not befriend other stallions.
3) As long as you don't neglect your mares, you may have as many as you wish.
4) You may only claim one territory.
5) More than one herd may reside in a territory, at the top of the message board the number of herds allowed will be placed.
6) To have mares you must claim a territory.
7) You may force mares to breed with you. *See Breeding for more information*

Breeding

1) Stallions may force mares to breed with them, their own mares and mares from other herds. BUT, if you want to do this see me (Meg) or Mystical Magic and we'll either say that you can or can't.
2) I will allow long breeding...but keep it inside your messages. There are no exceptions to this, and if it becomes to much of a problem, I will no longer allow it.
3) Horses do not get pleasure from breeding...please keep away from the "grunting with pleasure" stuff.
4) You may decide the stats of the foal, and the mare may have it whenever she likes, wherever she likes.

Challenges/Stealing

1) I will not use dice to decide the outcome of challenges. I will allow up to 6 posts to take place, then judge them on: creativity, use of wording, overall RP skills, and realism. Also be sure to check spelling, because it counts as well.
2) You may only challenge 2 times in a week.
3) If a stallion challenges for a mare/herd, he gets to keep them/it for two weeks before he may be challenged again.
4) Only steal on the "Stealing" board...the rules for stealing mare's will be at the top of the board.
