\\. Regulations

Rules might change slightly depending on the current alphas. Please read all the rules before joining otherwise you might end up getting in ooc or ic trouble. Those that constantly break ooc rules will be banned and put onto the ip blocker. Yes that means you'll be banned from the site and won't be able to access any of the pages. Fun eh?

\\. OOC Rules

i) This is one of the most important rules. Joining this site puts your character at risk and aging is fast. Therefore I suggest making up a new character or using one where if they die you will not sulk. Please also do not hold ooc grudges on those that kill your characters if they are killed. Remember this is a game and you knew this before you joined.
ii) Swearing is allowed to an extent even though we prefer not to have it. Certainly not in ooc at each other. Neither is any graphic mating or anything like that, that is not what you come here to roleplay.
iii) Don't spam the boards or chat. If you accidentally double post then please edit it to [delete please] that will make things easier for the moderators.
iv) This is realistic wolf roleplay, no magic, powers, wings or odd colours. Usage of objects and items are also not allowed.
v) Once your character is dead they remain dead, no revivals. If you do not make a big deal about it we would love to keep you in the site if you sign up again. If you were unfairly killed then we will look into it however but once the decission is made that is final.
vi) The overuse of the apostrophises is certainly a big no here. Anyone seen doing this will get a strike straight away.

\\. Ranking Rules

i) All ranks may be challenged for, except for the alpha positions as we are the admin. Though a ranked member may only be challenged once every week. Anymore will not be allowed.
ii) Ranks that are opened may be demanded by any pack member or given out by an Alpha. The ranks are generally sorted out by the lowers and alphas stand back and watch.
iii) Respecting those above you is vital, also respect those that you know are stronger. You can be soft with your rank or as forceful as you like. Forcing others to submit is allowed. Remember that wolves don't tend to kill others of their own pack. However get into a fight with someone that was trying to forcefully make you submit then you might find yourself as a corpse.
iv) The only ranks done in mating pairs are the alphas.
v) Each rank has a different job, make sure you do it.

\\. Hunting Rules

i) Hunting may be done in the chatroom, there is no specific area for hunting.
ii) You do not have to hunt every week but at least try to eat at least once every week. If pups aren't fed they'll die.
iii) To have a hunt classified as a pack hunt five or members need to be present.
iv) The leader of the hunt (Usually Epsilon, if present), posts the details of what's been found. Eg: Deer in the clearing ahead. Rabbit that crosses their path. Everyone must continue posting normally until they post the details.

\\. Mating and Whelping Rules

i) One mate each, be loyal. Switching mates frequency for no reason is frowned upon. However if your mate falls inactive or is deleted, even for ooc reasons or death go ahead and get yourselves a new one.
ii) Force Breeding is allowed but it doesn't mean the females won't put up a fight.
iii) Fights may be held for mates. It is generally males that will issue the challenge for a mate.
iv) Pregnant females must roleplay out their pregnancy for at least a week minimum.
v) Females need to be over two years to have pups and up to seven years.
vi) Between 1-5 pups are born in a litter. Once born they can not see, walk, talk.. etc. Be realistic.

\\. Fighting Rules

i) No Godmoding or Powerplaying. You will get a warning and will have to change your post the first time. The second offence will lead to being disqualified. [See fighting guide for the concept of these]
ii) No magic or powers. An easy rule.
iii) Let those that wish to fight do so, don't interfere. However wolves fight in packs. A three on one fight is considered normal so do not complain.
iv) Don't expect mercy and don't give it.
v) A fight is alternate turns, one post after the other. This is still the same for multipule fight battles, eg; 3 on 1. The three post then the one, then the three then the one. Not one of the three then the one then two of the three then the one.
vi) An alpha or another high rank will judge a fight fairly.
vii) If a fight exceeds a certain amount of time and it's a non-death match the judge will stop and choose the winner based on damage, style and those sorts of things.
viii) Make sure the type of the fight is clearly stated before hand. It only takes one to declare a death match, you must rightfully defend your life. However others may always pile in and help if it is during a battle.
ix) One full dodge each per fight, no more.
x) Fight moves are reset at the end of each turn (eg: scrunched necks, slashing at their side etc..) They are no longer doing that next turn and they need to either retype it if tey want to do it or just not do it.
xi) Fights used to be non-continued on the chatroom but with these parachats that cut off this rule has been taken away again. You may now do continued posts in fights.
