RULES. ah, arguably the most important thing for keeping a roleplay going. the rules. this it written in a hopefully light-hearted tone, but please note that strict upholding of these rules written here will be in place! Thank you. [[ table of contents ]] - Important Rules - IRP Rules - OORP Rules - Misc. Rules ` Important Rules ` what rp is complete without important stuff right? so let's do it: - ::Codeword is starlight - ::No discriminating! This is the most important to me, as i've seen it so much. please please please dont be an evil person - ::Please don't use alts! This makes it very confusing for a list of reasons. So, please don't use an alt to get by things like bans, character slots, votes, etc. It defeats the purpose of the variety and love you're meant to give to the happenings. Switching between alts for your character is actually okay, but diswaded, due to the fact that it's kinda hard to track. Some people make their own accounts for rping, and that's fine! We just want you to not like. try to get another on your main, y'know? - ::PLEASE i beg of you keep it PG. I mean, there are eight-year-olds that might stumble upon this and. yeah. also i don't wanna be ban so please y'know? I don't think I have to elaborate on that :D - ::this should be in IRP Rules, but I can't stress it enough; RESEARCH. I mean, i've seen a bunch of misrepresented disablities on the rp community, so i really want you to be able to do this right! I know some rps have a rule in which going like this: "if you have the disability in question, you don't have to research it" or something along those lines. BUT. but. becuase there's actually no proof of this, in this rp, I would still need you to research. If you do, in fact, have it, then it should be easier for you! - ::Please don't call them "medicine cats" for obvious reasons. We use the term "medics" here. native americans are amazing guys :D - ::Abuse and self-harm are forbidden. Self-harm is a given, but what counts as abuse? Depends, really, on a lot of things. So if you're wondering, please come to me! - ::So, like the medics rule, we don't misrepresent any cultures at all! I'd really like to stress this! It goes hand in hand with the discrimination rule. - ::Use common sense guys it ain't that hard lol ` IRP Rules ` ah, yes. the numerous irp rules. okay, these are confusing, and that's okay! just ask in the comments or go to the questions project (not made yet, sry) and i'll clarify! - ::Mvrder and k!lling is allowed! This is a wcrp, how would that work if there's no bl--dshed? But, again, there's little eight-year-olds on here, so keep the v!olence down a bit. - ::Before commiting any act of crime against another character, you must have oorp permission, and irp reason! (unless, of course, your character is a buff emo cat (deepclan) then you just need oorp permission.) - ::Kits cannot k!ll, cannot leave camp without rolling, cannot change clans unless their parent changes clans, then they go too, etc. Any questions about what you kit can do or can't do? Ask! - ::DO NOT add starlight OR force a mate! Forcing mates is discusting, and, like so many before, has no place here. I'm not saying your character can't have a crush on a cat who doesn't like them, though. Kits cannot have crushes, apprentices cannot have mates, and mates must have five threads before mating, then three more before they can have kits. Don't want to go throuh that? Adopt a litter! You cannot adopt a litter if you have a mate or are trying to get a mate. - ::What do all of the rules up to now have that's strange? - You can change your name and your clan, but must have irp reasoning, and go through the stuff that the clan leaders throw at you. unless you're a kit who's parent has gone to a different clan. - My character d-ed! Nooooo! Oop. That sucks, but please don't take it out on other people! Our staff is amazing, and our roleplayers are awesome, so please don't be upset at anyone when your character d-es. And they *will* d-e. This rp is very lore/survival-based meaning that your character is bound to be in some strange situations. And please, never take it out on yourself! This is just a character on a screen, you're nore important :D - Your application must include that strange thing. - Please at least try to get some exp/sp! They're useful, trust me. - JUST USE COMMON SENSE ` OORP Rules ` - Please be respectful and kind to our lovely staff! - Actually read these. i mean. guys. come on /j - Don't beg or harass anyone for anything! IRP harassment is okay with LIMITS. Ask me about those. For some things you can ask politely. Know that if you beg/harass, the answer will be an automatic no. If you get a no, it's a no. The answer will not change. - All rolls are irreversable! There is one acception to this: if you have a companion that states you can re-roll or roll for a non-de-th roll. - We are here to have fun! y'know! use common sense! [cont. in n&c]
[cont. from intructions] - okay! final rule in the oorp section! whew! A twist on the common rule: "hate the character, not the scratcher." So what I'm changing is this: Your character can hate the character. You should not. And still don't hate the scratcher lol. Okay, an explination. You shouldn't attack a character with hate! Characters are diverse and really interesting, so please don't hate them! Their owners put time into developing their character! However, the plot thickens... So, your character has every right to hate somecat. Just keep it irp! ` Misc. Rules ` - idk please don't make me have to add this section. don't be the reason i beg of you - banned list: nobody! thankfully!
