I know you're probably thinking "Holy mother of rules this is a lot" but don't worry, just read the rules that apply to you. If you are already familiar with fighting in aiming and attempting, skip the fighting fairly. If you are already a realistic wolf, skip the realism. Etc, etc.
Recruits
Recruits will earn their rankings and respect both in character and out. How can you expect any sort of rank if you are hardly active and disrespectful? If you'd like the rank you're aiming for, be prepared to earn it!
Please don't be a rock-hugger.
By this we mean sitting 10 miles away from everyone in complete silence. We're very welcoming to new members and love RPing with the new ones just as much as we love RPing with the old members. So please, please don't sit and be anti-social, we encourage you to butt in to RP! People who rarely speak or role play are less likely to ever receive high ranks, or even middle ranks. Just don't be anti-social, butt in at any time, and enjoy your time with the Amartalos Maeror.
Literacy
Though we do accept some semi-literate who are willing to improve, we prefer grammar, detail, punctuation and usually para-RPing in our group. Please make sure you're adding the right punctuation and detail. If you have any spelling problems or lag prevents you from typing properly, do tell us! We only care for literacy when role playing. If we're only chatting in group, we couldn't care less.
Realism
There are some unrealistic things about our role play but we're trying to keep it semi-realistic. We WILL NOT accept powers, elementals, weaponry, armory, neons, wings, demons, or characters 'destined for greatness.' We allow some unrealistic colors, such as colored manes or something of the sort, but please no neon markings or neon manes.
Fighting Fairly
Being a pack of a lot of sparring and battle, you will be expected to fight fairly. Absolutely no auto-hitting, powers, weapons, etc. You will be expected to aim and attempt.
Auto-hitting saying you full on made the hit and the other person cannot dodge at all. Example: The wolf bit into her jugular and sank his teeth in.
Its simply not fair. Instead, aim and attempt. Aiming and attempting is what its called. You're aiming, and trying to get a hold of your opponent. Example: The wolf snapped his teeth, attempting to bite into her throat.
All auto-hits will be ignored or considered attempts.
Another thing, do not constantly dodge and be aware of your mortality. Theres a lot of talk about "Agility vs Brute Strength" but if you're a small midget wolf up against a brute of a male, you probably won't win. Jaw is too strong, and you could so easily be crush. All we're saying is be realistic and consider the odds.
Lastly, wolves do not have claws. They have nails but they are not hooked enough to claw like a real feline. They could do a number on say the eyes because eyes are sensitive. Why do you think they have such large teeth and a strong jaw? They bite, they do not rely on clawing.
Drama and Disrespect
Drama and disrespect will not be handled lightly. Please, no matter what rank, respect people out of character. Ranks don't matter when it comes to OOC.
The "I have the right to speak my mind" won't be tolerated here either. You also have the right to just be mature and respectful!
Pup and Mother Rules
Mothers, please do not have any 'surprise' births. You must be pregnant for two weeks before giving birth. Mothers may also not have any 'forbidden love' stories unless its organized by the highers OOC.
Pups must age realistically. Two days should equal a week or so. A week a month. Something of that sort. Just don't be one day old one day and seven months old the next.
Other
- Do not bring what is said IC to OOC.
- Please bring all problems or drama to Salem or another leader to handle it. If you take matters into your own hands, you'll be punished too no matter who started it.
- Please be on at least twice a week, and check our forum too. Sometimes we post very important updates on here and people share their presets and biographies here too. If you have problems in real life and can't be active, please tell us!
- Do not beg for high ranks or anything of the sort.
- You'll always have a choice in this RP. We don't force anyone to participate in spars or anything, but we ask you at least try to be active.
- Failure to follow rules will result in consequences such as kicking or loss of rank.
