- fights that are judged must have set rules that are worked out by the party members involved.
- when a fight is ready to be judged post it in the Fight board.
- you cannot choose if your attack draws blood, that is up to the player being attacked...like wise, you can't say that you never get hit.
- every dog that fights will have injuries no whether they be minor or severe it is still a wound.
- You must have the other members permission to kill their dog.
Packs
- Pack land is shown under the Territories category.
- if a territory say ----- HQ that means the land is unclaimed and can be claimed by the first to post a claiming thread.
- Claiming posts must be over 400words.
- "alpha" chooses who is ranked what and there is nothing you can do about it.
- Just because your dog is in charge it doesn't mean that they are better than the rest, they can still be confronted by dogs inside and outside of the pack.
- "alpha" decides the pack name.
- Main territories cannot be fought over by another pack, ex: Bob cannot own both the Fish Market and The Church.
- A dog must be at least 2 years old to own a pack.
- A new pack has three RL weeks of immunity. No one can challenge the pack leader within those three weeks.
Aging
- Dogs age every spring.
- puppies can liquid age, so they can talk right after they are born. Of course this is a choice, if you want to wait to have them talk then that is fine.
Breeding
- breeding season is in spring.
- staff 'deliver' the puppies, aka they choose how many, what they look like, and how healthy they are.
- litter can only contain up to 5 puppies, on special occasions 6 is permitted.
- You don't have to play out the actual breeding process, as long as both member agree IC then you can 'fade to black'.
- The dogs don't have to be mates to breed.
- Rape is allowed but you must have permission for the person who plays the female (note: not all rapes are successful in producing puppies).
- Only 4 rapes per spring for one character. You are not entitled to another if a no litter is produced.
- breeding can happen in any IC board.
- puppies can only born in the birthing board (the birthing board is not an IC board and you must follow the form given).
