Basic Rules
1) Be nice! Don't pick fights or insult people out of character. In-character fights are allowed.
2) Swaring is allowed but don't go crazy. No words are censored because we all should be mature enough to handle it.
3) Don't power play. This means don't play somebody elses character (unless they say you can). An example of power playing is "John punched Joe in the head." Instead try, "John tried to punch Joe in the head."
4) Don't kill off other peoples characters unless they say you can.
5) Don't mini-mod. This means don't try and be a moderator and scold people if you are not one. It is annoying. We have moderators. Let them do their job.
6) Please no one liners. We are not very strict on this rule but please, try and put some effort into your posts.
7) Use quotations or make your writing bold or a different colour when your character is speaking! Please! It is annoying and confusing when you don't!
8) Don't use slang in posts unless you are out of character. It gets so annoying and sometimes people cannot understand what your are trying to say.
9) When you are out of character please indicate it. For example when I am out of character, I post like (( this )) while some people prefer to post like +this+ or OOC: this to indicate that they are no longer in character.
10) Sex talk and graphic breeding is allowed but if you post something related to this, make sure you post (R) in the title of the post. If you don't like this rule, don't read the posts with (R) in them or do not join. It is as simple as that.
11) If your board is private make sure you post For _____ and ____ Only or something along those lines.
12) You may have as many characters or horses as you want but make sure you can handle it and keep them all active.
13) Wait to be accepted before you role-play.
14) You must have at least one male character. We want the number of guys and girls on this game pretty even.
15) Have fun! ;D
Character Rules
1) Only 3 characters of yours may be rich. We want to keep this game realistic. You may also have one family be rich but that is it!
2) To get married characters must be at least 18.
3) To have a baby characters must be at least 13.
4) To get a job or drive characters must be at least 16.
5) To go to a club/bar characters must be at least 16.
6) To drink alcohol characters must be at least 19 (unless they have a fake ID).
7) No characters will have the same name (relatives may have the same last name). It gets confusing.
Horse & Pet Rules
1) Stallions must be at least 3 to breed.
2) Mares must be at least 3 to breed.
3) No horses may have the same name. It gets confusing.
4) Horses cannot talk or have magical powers of any kind.
5) Horses may be sold at anytime if you want.
6) You cannot own Zebras or wolves or anything like that.
If you break any of these rules it will result in consequences as follows:
First Offence: A warning.
Second Offence: Restriction for a day.
Third Offence: Restriction for a week.
Fourth Offence: Restriction for a month.
Fifth Offence: Deletion from the site. You will also be banned from returning.
