In our group, we have a few rules you need to follow. We will go over the basics for you in this thread. Do your best to follow these, and ask questions below if you're confused!
General Rules
These rules were written by the creator of our group, please do not change or recreate them without permission.
BUT DO FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST CHANGES!
"Everyone Participate, Not Dominate."
Basically, give everyone a chance. Certain people may not have the experience that you do, so please respect them
and help them if needed.
Although, if someone declines to roleplay with you, be respectful and leave them alone without question.
"Share The Airtime."
Respect the roleplay order, and that others may take the time to write their replies.
If you see any of the following after a paragraph, do not reply: >, >>, (cont.),
If it is not indicated that they are done, please refrain from interrupting. (including BRB's, AFK's if possible) It's quite rude!
"Success depends on participation – share ideas, ask questions, draw others out."
Confused? Don't be afraid to ask someone in the group, or whisper to a member about a question you may have.
If you see someone being left out, and they haven't indicated they don't want to participate, invite them to roleplay! It's nerve-wracking to ask to join sometimes!
"Seek unity (not separation)"
At the end of the day, we're family. It is okay to make mistakes and dislike one another, but if you have a problem that
YOU CANNOT SOLVE YOURSELF please contact an admin, mod, or someone around who is mature enough to help you.
"Run more than your mouth."
Whiners are NOT accepted in our community, nor is BULLYING, HATING, OR DISRESPECT.
Doing ANY of the following could result in a strike, warning, or suspension.
Example from an old group:
"I said I didn't like them, and you didn't kick them from the group, so I am upset."
Short answer, I don't care. We are designed to work together here, if you don't like someone, avoid them.
These are the basic IN GAME rules of being a good person, just be courteous, kind and respectful.
Types of Godmodding
Rules Of Roleplay and Your Character
These will work with a strike system.
Aging
Animals, like humans, pass away. We have a simple aging system:
Say your characters birthday is March 19th. Every month counts as a year, so the 19th of every month, your character ages one year. This rule is so we can keep roleplay fresh and fun!
Godmodding, and Powerplay.
I am sure most of you are familiar with what these things are, but for those of you who aren't, please read below.
Godmoding refers to several types of bad roleplay as an umbrella term. All godmoding attempts to shift the roleplay in the godmoding player’s favor. In essence, godmoding is any attempt at giving a roleplaying character an advantage that does not normally exist in-game.
Sparring/Fighting
If you would like to spar or fight with another member, first confront that user ooc and ask if you can engage in a fight with their character. Powerplaying, as mentioned below, is not tolerated in our group and can result in a strike. When sparring, make it reasonable, your character may miss or get tired from a power surge move. One last thing, no killing is allowed unless both users agree.

Types of Godmodding
Read on for specifics about the different types of godmodding and why they make for bad roleplay.
Godmodding is godmodding specific to character creation, skills, and certain situations (e.g., combat).
Powerplaying is godmodding by controlling another roleplayer’s character without permission.
Metagaming is godmodding specific to the use of OOC(IRL) knowledge in roleplayed actions, behaviors, thoughts.
Retconning is godmodding specific to erasure or alteration of past events.
GROUP CHAT RULES
These are the rules for when we speak in group chat.
These are the rules for when we speak in group chat.
The three main rules of conduct are:
Be KIND
Be COURTEOUS
Be RESPECTFUL
ALWAYS SPEAK IN GROUP!
A few slipups are fine of course, but please refrain from using other chats to avoid confusion.
(During Roleplay, USE LOCAL, GENERAL[map only], or PARTY[for hunting, or private rp])
EXTRA
These rules have to do with your characters, but they still have to do with your choices as a user.
Mating
Please keep all mating private if you wish to roleplay it out. Be within whisper and preferably away from the pack. You may very well just say it happened and pop those suckers out as well. Whatever you wish to do with such a process is up to you. You can say it happened or you can really do it. It's all up to you, and we don't mind.
