- Basically, this is a PG-13 board. I'll tolerate cursing, but not every other word. That's as far as OOC and RPing goes. Anyways, warrior cats don't curse, they say things like "mouse dung!". Your unnecissary cusses and rude words will not be appreciated.
- No kitty porn here. It's not tolerated, and any we see will be automatically deleted, as will your account. It's not funny. It's not fun. It's stupid, and we don't want to see it here. And, rembember the PG 13 rating!
- Special "god" powers such as those that Jaypaw has, like mind reading, and other such magical abilities are never tolerated unless they've been taken up with ZAM first. If you have any questions about such abilities, feel free to PM her.
- Don't use well-known names from the books like Firestar, Crowfeather, Barley, etc. Additionally, make sure that when you're creating your cat, the name isn't already in use, especially with common names like "Blackpaw" or "Stripetail". Things like that.
We can TELL when names are being copied, so if there's some character with a unique, original name and you seem to have copied some of it, we're going to have to ask you to change it. - You can not use a name that is already in use. See the reserved list for an idea of what names you can't use.
- DO NOT apply as a leader, deputy, medicine cat, or medicine cat apprentice. The clan leader appoints a deputy, and the medicine cat appoints his/her apprentice. These positions are chosen from existing, active charries.
- NEVER godmode or powerplay. No Tigerstars unless it's been discussed or is part of a plot, and NO KILLING OFF OTHER PEOPLE'S CHARACHTERS unless they have said that it is okay and you've set up a thread for it on the board specifically made for the killing of characters.
- On the topic of other people's charachters, do not play as them. If your cat is having a conversation with another cat, don't put words in the other's mouth, wait for a reply. Don't give them actions, don't give them dialogue, nothing. I hate it when people do that, and it lessens the point of the roleplay.
- Finally, this is a LITERATE roleplay. Try to write a paragraph for each post, no one-liners. Spelling mistakes are tolerated, but don't tlk lyk ur chtting on msn wit ur bff!!! It's brain numbing. No *for actions*, write like a book.
Example of bad formating:
kay lets go cloudface!!! omg *runs out of clearing* OMG CLOUDFACE I COT A SKWIRRL!!! YUMMY LETS SHARE. *gves squirrel to cloudface and cloudface eets itt*
Example of good formatting:
"Alright, Cloudface, let's go!" Redpaw said, padding out of the clearing. He heard scurrying in the bushes below, and flicked his tail for silence, lowering his belly to the ground in the hunter's crouch. Suddenly, he sprang from the undergrowth, trapping the squirrel in his claws. With a swift bite to the creature's neck, it gave a twitch and then lay motionless. Flicking his ears in satisfaction, Redpaw picked up the squirrel in his jaws and padded over to Cloudface.
"Want to share?" He asked through a mouthfull of fur, lowering the squirrel onto the ground and waiting for a response from his companion.
That's about it. Congrats if you read all the way through! If not, don't blame me if you get kicked out. I know it's long, but it's for your own good, and everybody else's too.
Keep in mind: When roleplaying, remember that food is scarce. You won't find a plump vole here, you'll find a scrawny one, but it'll hold you off. There won't be lots of plants and undergrowth, and there will be lots of ice, wind, and cold. Make sure to check the forecast located on every page of the RP section of this site. It's in the sidebar. Don't make it hail if it's not hailing, etc.
