Basic Laws

1. We are a realistic roleplay, so please stick to realistic standards. No purple, pink, green, orange, etc. colors.
2. LGBTQ is allowed in strict moderation. There are few animals that swing for the other side in the wild, so they will be few and very far in between. Staff must approve yours if you want one.
3. There is a word limit of at least 200. Its really not hard to do at all. Just talk about how your character is feeling, what the weather is like, describe where they are. I promise, you can do it. If you need help, feel free to ask for it. We don't bite, and we're more than happy to help you out!
4. There is NO limit on how many characters you can have, but please do not create more than you can handle. It's very cluttering. Feel free to put any characters you no longer want up for adoption. Someone will come along that wants them!
5. If you go missing, and you are in charge of an important character, and we have no idea when you will be back, we have the right to put said character up for another to play. If you return, you may be able to get your character back.
6. Please, please, please! Do not post in the wrong board! It's aggravating.
7. There will be no OOC fighting to be done here. If you have a problem with someone, you're more than welcome to message an admin. But do not create drama where everyone can see it. It's trashy, and very much unwelcome.
8. Swearing is allowed to an extent. Please do not take advantage of this, or we will be forced to change these words to something ridiculous so that you make a fool out of yourself. Racism, sexism, and the like is not welcome under any circumstance OOC. Your character is welcome to be breedist or sexist.
9. There is to be no powerplaying unless it is agreed upon by both (or more) parties. Meaning, your stallion can't beat up that mare just because she's smaller than him and he's in a bad mood. The player of the mare must agree with the abuse. If we see this, you will get a warning.

Claiming

1. Stallions may force-claim a mare if the player of the mare agrees with this. Otherwise, you gotta ask her nicely.
2. In order for a stallion to claim a territory, he must have at least two mares in his harem. This is to prevent a player from claiming a land with no intentions of playing anything out on the board.
3. Stallions may attempt to steal a mare from another stallion's herd. This, of course, must be agreed upon by the mare's player. This typically will lead to a fight between two stallions.
4. No claiming mares that you play. That's just wrong.

Stallions

1. As stated above, you must have at least two mares claimed before you can post a claiming thread for a territory.
2. Dark stallions, once they have taken a slave, may force-breed her as often as he chooses. Neutral and Light stallions tend to sway away from this behavior, but it is possible for them as well.
3. Your stallion may only claim one territory.

Mares

1. You have the right to deny any stallion. Meaning you don't have to leave with him, you don't have to breed with him. The exceptions are if you have been claimed as a concubine (by YOUR choice).
2. You may not claim territory. That's the stallion's job.
3. If you do not wish to stay with the stallion you are with now, please tell him in post.
4. You go into heat once per year. That's it. That means one foaling per year, at most. Don't try to slip past us on this.

Breeding

1. Please do not go into too much detail on this. There's no telling how old the other player is, and we don't want you asking them. That's creepy. So try to keep it out of the red zone.
2. Breeding takes place in the lands of the stallion you're with. Please post in the staff contact board to let us know that they have done the deed. We can't keep up with them all otherwise.
3. We will let you know through the Mother Earth account if you have conceived, and when you're bouncing bundle will arrive.

Foaling

1. Foaling, like breeding, will take place in the lands of your herd stallion.
2. Mother Earth will give you the stats of the foals. Do not argue with us on the stats. Also, do not ask us for specifics. If we want something special to happen with the young one, we will make it happen.
3. Do not go into too much detail about the birthing. Very few players want to know about the blood and gore that goes along with the babies.
4. Mother Earth has the right to assign any details, deformities, specs, or anything to your foals. We will alert you if their destiny is already decided.

Fighting

1. Territory and mares may only be challenged for once per month. If someone has already fought ol' boy for that girl you want, you'll have to wait until the following month. Same goes for his lands.
2. Fighting will take place in the lands of the stallion that has been issued the challenge. [EXAMPLE: Bill wants Joe's girl. Bill goes to Joe's land, and calls Joe out. They fight In Joe's territory.]
3. Fights are to be played out, then judged by Mother Earth. The winner will be chosen carefully, and posted on the fight thread. No questions, no bribes, no begging to Mother Earth that you are chosen the winner. You will be warned for this.
4. NO POWERPLAYING. You can't land a killing blow on Joe without Joe's player permission. Sorry, Bill.
