The Rules

[Ghostdance]

These are the rules. All members must follow them, or there will be consequences. I am very strict when it comes to rules, and I do not give second chances!

General Rules

-The most important rule of all is; BE ACTIVE! If you don't think you will be active, then don't even join. If you join and you are gone for two weeks without a word you will be deleted. No exceptions.
-No spamming at all, please. This is just rude and wastes space. Spamming also includes leet speak. This is not acceptable, not even in the c-box.
-Respect all members and especially the staff members. We're here to have fun, and if you have nothing better to do than be rude to people over the internet then go away. You aren't wanted here.
-Have good grammar and spelling if you want to join. This is a fairly advanced roleplay, so first-grade level grammar and spelling is not acceptable.
-Make the titles of your posts about what the thread is about. No random titles or titles that stretch the page.
-Do not make posts that stretch the page. These are just annoying and I will delete them.
-If you think I stole your site idea, I don't want to hear it. I did not steal this from anyone; I thought of this, and if you had the same idea it doesn't mean no one else is going to think of it. I have never seen another site like this, so don't come here flaming me and saying that I stole your website.
-Do not advertise in the c-box! Only advertise in the advertising board.
-If you join, do not have a username like "Warriorsluver123" or "Piney". Name yourself after your characters! If you don't, the admins will edit your name to the first character you make. No exceptions, and no complaining.
-Anything related to porn, racism, drugs, etc. are not welcome here. Anyone who even mentions or shows pictures of these will be deleted without even a warning.

Profile Rules

-Profiles need to follow the profile form exactly, or they will not be accepted.
-The names of your cats must make sense. You can have unique names, for I am not strict on names, but names need to make sense. For example, "Pineflight" and "Treewhisker" are names that make no sense at all.
-The names of your cats need to end in "kit" if they are a kit, "paw" if they are an apprentice, and "star" if they are a leader.
-If your cat's names have two letters right next to eachother, such as "Blackkit", please seperate the two letters so that it looks like "Black-kit".
-I am strict on ages. Kits must be 0-6 stars, Apprentices 6-25 stars. I will not allow an apprentice to become a warrior before the age of 20 stars. Warriors MUST be 30-200 stars, and there are no exceptions for having cats any younger or older. Deputies must be 50 stars or older, and Leaders have to be 50 stars or older as well. Elders are between the age of 200-250 stars unless they have retired early due to an injury or disability.
-The maximum number of cats you can have is 8. However, members who have just joined can only have 4. Once you prove that you are active, you will be allowed to have more cats.
-You cannot have more than two cats in one Clan, and half of your cats must be opposite genders. For example, if you have four cats, two need to be she-cats and two need to be toms.
-You cannot have more than two high-ranking positions. Also, any high positions you have cannot be in the same Clan, and if you have two high ranks one needs to be a tom and one needs to be a she-cat.
-You can have a deputy and a leader position. HOWEVER, if your deputy becomes a leader, you must give up one of your leaders. You cannot have two leaders; it is unfair to the other members.
-In this roleplay, yes, you can make cats with un-naturally colored fur and unusual designs! Since this is a different universe, I think that having cats with unusual colored fur and eyes is appropriate. Just do not go overboard, like make rainbow cats or really brightly colored cats...
-Cats that are flawless and perfect, such as cats that stick strictly to the Cat's Codes and are insanely beautiful or handsom, will not be accepted. If you make a cat like this we will ask you to make them have flaws. Cats aren't perfect, just like we aren't.
-When making a cat, DO NOT put the names of other cats in there, especially cats that do not exist in this roleplay, unless you are going to make those cats that you mentioned in the profile. Also, do not put Clan names that do not exist here such as ThunderClan, RiverClan, etc. If you do this, I will be pretty angry because this obviously shows that you just copy and pasted a profile and read nothing on this website, and your profiles will not be accepted.

Roleplaying Rules

-Roleplay posts need to be five or more sentences, and the sentences need to be descriptive. Writer's block is acceptable every once in a while, but don't make it a habit.
-Leet speek or abbreviating words is not acceptable, and please use grammar and spelling to the best of your ability.
-Roleplay your characters the way you described them in their profiles. Don't say your character acts one way, then make them behave completely different in your roleplay posts.
-No auto-hitting or auto-killing other cats. Your cats will be killed without warning if you do this.
-Roleplay your characters as their rank. Kits need to respect all cats and their mothers, apprentices need to do as their mentors tell them, warriors need to respect and obey the leader and deputy, and every cat must respect leaders, deputies, medicine cats, and above all the elders.
-When hunting or fighting, the rank of your cat affects how well they can perform these tasks. If you have an apprentice, they will not catch their prey most of the time, although cats ranked higher than warriors will. Also, do not catch prey or win battles all of the time.
-Cross-Clan relationships are not allowed. I will only allow two of these, if any.
-Clan leaders rule the Clan. You must do as they say and you cannot disobey them without a very good reason. Also, members who own Clan leaders are in charge of appointing mentors, ceremonies, Clan meetings, and pretty much everything that goes on within the Clan. Clan leaders need to be active, and so do deputies to help with these duties.
-In order for apprentices to become a warrior, they have to earn it. Therefore, the following must be achieved:

-Five threads of battle training.
-Three threads of hunting training and border patrols.
-One assesment thread.
-A trip to the Stardust Stone
-Three Gathering trips.
-And a final assesment, which should be the final training thread.

You see, you MUST be active to have an apprentice or mentor, or your cats will never become a warrior.
