GENERAL FOURM RULES.
we are a realistic horse role-play, please remember that! be kind to everyone including guests because without them lurking we wouldn't have such a great time. there should be no no spamming of the boards or cbox, unless it's in the SPAM board. one account per player, because it'll make everything a little easier to organize. everything PG13, not my rule but Proboards, and please, PM Bracken if things seem unfair, and admin say is final.
GENERAL ROLE-PLAYING RULES.
one hundred fifty words a post because its quality over quantity, no godmoding and no powerplaying, because that's childish and frowned upon. liquid time is allowed because where's the fun in not having it enabled? no force-breeding because it's crude, and killing another character must be approved by Bracken and the players involved. you can have as many characters as you want but if you feel like you can no longer handle them, please put one up for adoption, or kill them off.
GRAPHICS RULES.
signatures are to be no bigger than 450x500 because then that'll stretch the board. anything smaller than that is allowed. please make sure to credit the right people or else it's considered stealing. avatars are to be no bigger than 100x100.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER RULES.
since this is a realistic horse role-play please try and keep to a realistic view at all times. a draft horse isn't going to be as small as a pony, while ponies aren't going to be as large as draft horses, keep to the breed [or breeds] as much as possible. no wings, no powers, no unicorns. other species like donkeys, mules and zebra's are not allowed, neither are their hybrid counterparts. aging your horse will be decided by what season they were born in; if they were born in the winter then they will age in winter. summer, in summer and so on.
* when you want your character to die naturally [may it be from disease or age] please contact Father Time and he will post a thread for your horse to "die" in.
SPECIFIC FIGHTING/STEALING RULES.
stealing a mare can happen at any time. we do not have a riddle to solve for you, but there must be some sort of approval from the player of the mare being stolen, and the stallion who runs with her. fighting for a mare can happen at any time as well; each stallion will get three hits and two dodges; an admin will decide the winner of the fight, and thus the mare must go with the winner. stealing a foal is unacceptable. wait until the foal has aged accordingly. when claiming land you must write a claiming post appropriately, and then post a claiming thread in the specific land board. an admin will change details and what not.
BREEDING/BIRTHING RULES.
your characters must have been in at least one thread previous to the breeding, or else the breeding will be wiped and there will be no pregnancy. please no graphic breeding, and no force breeding, either. if an admin sees either of these two things then your account will be suspended for two full days. once you've bred your horses, the mare will be pregnant for three real days, before she can give birth. go to the foaling board and fill out the appropriate form both parents must do this. the stork will decide the foal's stats according to the parents.
CHALLENGING RULES.
a stallion or mare may challenge their own herds leader into a fight for land, but a mare cannot fight a stallion, and a stallion cannot fight a mare. like the fighting rules, each horse will get three strikes and two dodges, and an admin will decide who wins the land. if the current leader wins, that horse may not be challenege for one full real time month. if the challenger wins, they may not be challenged for a full real time month.
