OOC RULES
Read through these rules to make sure that you are aware of our board’s guidelines. We like to keep the rules short so don’t do stupid things that make us have to write more rules! The password can be found in this thread if you read close enough you shouldn't have any trouble locating it.
IC RULES
I am so angry at this bear right now. I reach out with my claws and placed them on the bears throat killing him quickly. LOLZ. The leader stepped down and made me the new leader and also I did my mate and she’s preggo now.
Alright so this example thread above is so wrong in every way. Anyone who posts something like that will be sent to RP School until you graduate to a beautiful post like the one at the end. Let’s examine where this post went wrong.
Tigerclaw was so angry you could almost see it in his eyes. He was going to attack this bear for his insolence but for now he contented to sit there lashing his tail irritated. Just when he thought that the bear was getting the point another insolent comment hit his ears and he could not hold it in any longer. “That is it you insolent rat!” He snarled standing up and squaring his shoulders facing the smaller bear. His sharp claws glistened as he shot them out to rake Swiftfoot’s nose. When Tigerclaw had satisfied his anger he turned back towards camp. He was irritated that their clan had to suffer under such a weak leader he would be a much better leader for the clan. Tigerclaw shook it off. Better get back to Goldenflower now, she’s so worrisome over me ever since she found out about the kits. With that thought Tigerclaw disappeared from sight into the underbrush.

01. No Spamming- the dictionary defines spamming as “The act of obnoxiously doing something repeatedly for attention or in order to disturb others.” This includes off topic posts, inflammatory comments, and posting more than once with the same content.
02. No Inappropriate Language or “Cussing”- this board is member friendly for any and all members between the ages of 13 and up which means we need to keep content appropriate for those under 18. If for whatever reason you MUST use language you need to utilize the star system. (ex. D**N) us that curse know what that is and will get it when you post.
03. No Sexual Content on ANYTHING you post. Please refer to the IC Rules about IC Relationships. Like before this is a member friendly site.
04. No Pretending to be Other Members. This is just a good rule so that there are no misunderstandings.
05. The first part of the password is Fire.
06. Respect the Golden Rule and treat others like you want to be treated.
07. Not really a rule but worth noting: The Owner of this site is Krooks! and she alone have the last say on any decisions relating to the board.
IC RULES
Breaking these rules wont get you banned but if you break them habitually you may be restricted to OOC boards.

Alright so this example thread above is so wrong in every way. Anyone who posts something like that will be sent to RP School until you graduate to a beautiful post like the one at the end. Let’s examine where this post went wrong.
1. No God-Modding(GM) or Power-Playing(PP)- godmodding is when you try to roleplay an invincible/unbeatable cat and powerplaying is when you roleplay character that you do not own. (ex. “placed them on the bears throat killing him quickly.”) You did not give the other rper a chance to reply and defend themselves. This also is for the rule of NO KILLING OFF OTHERS CHARACTERS. Keep your paws on your own character!So let’s see what an appropriate post would look like:
2. All posts should be in 1st or 3rd person. All posts must also be in the past tense (ex: Tigerclaw shot his claws out to rake the bears nose). Posting in the present is not permitted. First and Third person can easily be found when you are using the cats name or pronouns to refer to the cat. Using “I” is not allowed. For more help on recognizing verb tenses check out this site: www.tarakharper.com/k_frstpr.htm
3. Second part of the password is Ice.
4. If you want a mate please go to the character action board. Both parties must agree to be mates. You must also complete at least 3 threads before your cats can be mates, and 3 more once they are mates before they can have any offspring.
4. No detailed description of mating please. If you apply to have offspring and refer to your female character as pregnant we will get the point. This goes back to the sexual content rule.
5. All posts need to be at least 5 sentences long. (come on guys that's not hard at all. 2+ sentence to describe the area, 2+ sentence to describe your cat, 2+ sentence to say something or about how they feel) Please feel free to have as many sentences as you want after you hit 5. This makes replying to posts much easier.
7. You may have only up to 5 characters. If you want more than that you will need to talk to me (Krooks!) personally about the matter.
8. ALL CHARACTERS DIE. No character can be young forever, so keep this in mind. Old age, sickness, and battle wounds all shorten a character's life. MAKE A POST ABOUT WHEN THEY DIE. YOU CAN NOT JUST GO "POOF" IT'S DEAD.
9. You may only be royalty in one house. No Exceptions! You may either have a King, Queen, Lord, or Lady, but not more than one.
10. If you do not reply to activity checks, your high position will be taken away and your character will be placed up for adoption.
12. During the monthly activity checks you must post a link for EVERY character. If you can't, you will be asked to kill off some characters. If your character is not currently being role played, make a new thread or jump in one.
