M a i n R u l e s

• No--swearing, no inappropriateness, no sexual content, impersonating, stealing, and everything under PG-13.
  
• Do not reveal your home phone number and home address.
  
• Try your best to be optimistic, and not be a wanna-be-emo, pessimist, and a jerk. Our friendly members/admins are willing to help out nicely with a smile. =)
  
• Avatars shouldn't exceed 100x100 pixels. Signatures no larger than 500x250 pixels.
  
• For high ranked positions, once it's past about 2 months without any roleplaying and if you haven't logged on during those time, without a warning, your characters will be in idle mode. Where it's most likely to get replaced and be ignored due to inactiveness you can always re-claim your position.
  
• New accounts not active past the first few days are deleted. Accounts who are past then 3 months or more without any activity and without a warning will be deleted.
  

R P R u l e s

• This is a literate site, with no 'tlk tlk', abbreviations, and distracting/awful spelling/grammar. I also understand many have writer's block or a loss of muse--but please try your best to get at least 300 characters for an RP. It's always good if it's realistic in the sense of wild cats.
  No post should all be in 'thought' mode unless in dreams, journal, those kind of things.
  Post in literate paragraph form. "Parenthesis" around a dialogue. Those obvious rules.
  
• I don't care if you write in first person [I, me] or in third person [she, he, they].I also don't care if it's in past tense [did, saw] or present tense [do, see].
  
• No godmoding/powerplaying; do not control other characters out of your ownership, do not make your character invincible, and do not make your character 'the best.'
  
• La La Land [occ board] is different from our Rp Boards [ic board]. Do RP in our Rp Boards, do chat in our La La Land boards. If you are doing an outside RP, like that's not Warriors or something, La La Land and PM [one on one] is the way to go.
  
• Bios should be realistic, kit-free, queen-free, and must be approved by a staff in order to RP. And dude--cats only for the most parts. Other animals should be checked by a staff member.
  
• Also if you're making a bio for the first time, you need a codeword. Which is found in the Rules to make sure you've read everything. Also, it changes at random times.
  Please get all the bold letters/words in this Rules and add them up. That's the code.
  

W a r r i o r R u l e s

• Do not cross the borders of your clan territory, without a staff permission, unless you are a rogue, kittypet, or a loner.
  
• Warriors may talk, but they have their own vocab. They say, Twolegs, monsters, kits, and Starclan. We say, people, cars, babies, and heaven.
  
• Your cat will age, and eventually die.
  
• No major big plots; we have a plot too. But you may create mini/sub plots and you have a choice to not participate in the current plot. Sub-plots should be small and not threatening to the others. Medicine cats, Starclanners and Dark Forest realm cats, you may come down in a dream, but you cannot predict that will trigger a major plot.
  
• If you are going to be sick, the disease/wound should be realistic. Cats aren't likely to have heart attacks, but they are likely to have a green-cough .
  
• You can't kill another cat without permission and your death should be realistic. For after-life, you have two choices:
  Starclan, if your cat maintains the faith of Starclan and are good to the world.
  Dark Forest, if your cat is bad and does not have faith in Starclan while they have been introduced.
  Innocent kits who died will automatically go to Starclan. Other cats who have not heard of Starclan, their after life will be based on how they did good to the world.
  
• Please limit the inter-clan relationship. Check with your staff if you want one.
  
• Gatherings--This will regulate most likely once every two months. We will remind you of it earlier than a week away and will be posted up in public. Most likely they'll be in a real full moon and will last for an estimated time of ten days.
  You will leave with your clan and the leader will have a clan meeting; you cannot go to the Gathering by yourself to The Island.
  If you've missed the clan meeting, feel free to just hop in to the Gathering thread as if nothing happened; we don't want you to miss it.
  Leaders, do not worry about who is to guard the camp, the cats who have automatically missed the whole Gathering will pretend to guard and do take volunteers.
  
• The Half Moons for Medicine cats is very similar to the Gathering, except that it'll be shorter, five days, and you will dream.
  
• Battles cannot be started without a staff member's permission. Remember that most likely lives will be lost and medicine cats will be busy.
  
• Patrols and hunting patrols will be needed to carry out for each clan. Leaders and deputies are in charge to ask others to carry them out. They do not need to be day-per-day, or we'll all be RPing like crazy!

2. Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.

3. Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless thay have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders.

4. Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.

5. A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.

6. Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.

7. A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

8. The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires.

9. After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy ,ust be chosen before moonhigh.

10. A gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time.

11. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challeng all trespassing cats.

12. No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if that kit is from a different Clan.

13. The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.

14. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defence.

15. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
