Pack Rules
~No fighting-to-the-death within the Pack unless you are challenging for the position of Alpha.
~Packmembers may not kill pups, whether they be from this pack, another, or stray.
~If you have a problem with a higher-ranking member, whisper Bluemist or Madryan about it and do not start trouble.
~Any wolf can challenge for the rank of Alpha; the fight must be fair and have at least one Beta/Delta overseeing it.
~Any wolf who fails to follow up on a challenge is at the mercy of the Alphas.
~All fights cannot pass the limitations of a normal wolf.
~If any character is killed but he/she still wishes to RP in the pack, they are permitted to be "reborn" as a whelp.
~If a challenger happens to win against an Alpha, he/she has the right to banish both Alphas, the Beta, and the Delta.
~Respect the wishes of the Royals.
RP Rules
~All OOC chatter must move to brackets when there is a RP in progress. If you cannot be bothered, move somewhere else and continue your conversation.
~Semi-Realistic colours.
~No mutations! No you may not have wings or multiple tails.
~No god-moding, power-playing, twinking, etc.
~Absolutely
NO Wolfspeak or Chatspeak, and please
try to use correct grammar and spelling.
~Three-dodge rule. If you're in a fight, you can dodge three times in a row, but then you MUST take the next hit. This 'resets' itself if you say, dodge once then take a hit. (
Note: Using your dodges to avoid all major hits and taking only minimal damage is counted as power-playing.)
~You are permitted to run from a fight, but you
must post something along the lines of your character fleeing. And you
must wait for a reply post from your opponent to see whether or not he/she decides to follow your character. You must do
both of these things, or you will face the consequences.
~And lastly, realistic posts! No "Sparky jumps fifty feet in the air to dodge your attack".
OOC Rules
~Arguments OOC do not carry over to the IC and vice versa. If someone's character kills your character ICly, that does not give you a right to bitch at them OOCly.
~If you are given a tip OOCly about a fight happening ICly, you may not join. There is a difference between you and your character. If your character is tipped off ICly of a fight, then by all means join in!
~If your OOC conversation interferes with an RP, the RPers have the right to ask you to move.
~There's no need for brackets in an OOC zone. Just... don't waste your time. But if it slips out of habit, we don't care.
~Language. Keep it PG! The only word permitted is "bitch" which is a word meaning "female wolf/dog/etc." and is to
only be used IC!
~Respect everyone, even if they are lower-ranking than you IC.
Mating Rules
~Mating a higher rank than you does not affect your rank unless said otherwise by an Alpha.
~A male and female must be courting for four days at the very least before trying to have young.
~Roll between 1 and 2 to see if you are pregnant. (roll 1d2) 1 is pregnant, 2 isn't. If you do not become pregnant, you must wait another four days before trying again.
~Roll between 1 and 6 to see the number of whelps. (roll 1d6)
~Females must be pregnant for a week minimum.
~Whelps may grow up after two weeks as pups.
~Females may take on the temporary position of Den-Mother if they wish, but if there is a shortage of packmembers, they must leave their whelps in the care of the Omegas.
~Birth is the only time when Omegas are in charge. If a female is about to whelp and an Omega tells you to get out, then you better move it! Don't take it personally, it's kinda difficult to RP a birth with the whole pack crowding into the den.
These rules are subject to change at any time and without notice. Now put "Melody of the Moon" somewhere on your application to show you have read these rules. Auto-reject for any applications without it.
