There will be a new member recruiting contest starting in June.
Congratulations to Vayn for winning character of the month, and congrats to Maromi for winning member of the month!
You can now change the color of your individual posts by using the bgcolor code, to help out with being able to see text on different layouts.
The Shop now has it's own board, so rather than reply to the same thread, you can make your own thread with your requests.
We also now have a table code put in, and I have put up a tutorial for making them, located in my Art Studio/Request Shop. I can also make the table for you, and then PM you the code. -Virus
All the wolves' taken names are done. If there was a profile up for them in the Accepted area, then they are up. If I missed one, please post in the Taken Names thread. All non wolves should be done soon.
Season
Spring Weather
Spring has began, and things are beginning to warm up. It is still a bit chilly, but not uncomfortable. The snow has turned into rain, and the sanctuary is getting plenty of it. Mating?: Yes Birthing?: No Year: Five
Here is a list of all of the users who were too inactive to post in the activity check, or have signed up and not been back on in at least two weeks. This sort of behavior is frowned upon by the active members of Wolves Unlimited, therefore the names of those users are posted here. All of you are welcome to join back, but remember to stay active this time! :]
The Rules! « Thread Started on Apr 26, 2007, 3:36pm »
BE LITERATE!!!
TIME SYSTEM
Looks like we got a new time system guys! You all decided that you'd like for wolves to age 2 years for every human year. So, we're going to try it out and see how things work! Every six months is a year, and the seasons will play like this:
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and Rule apply to individually identifiable information about a child that is collected online, such as full name, home address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child. The Act and Rule also cover other types of information -- for example, hobbies, interests and information collected through cookies or other types of tracking mechanisms -- when they are tied to individually identifiable information.
We're here to roleplay, not get girlfriends/boyfriends or dive into other people's personal life. Quite frankly you have NO reason to ask ANYONE personal questions or to try and obtain personal information. So, to keep from having to set an age limit on our members, respect the law described above.
General
[list] Swearing is allowed, I'm not going to ban you for it. But don't get out of hand with it, you know when enough is enough. Not everyone is comfortable reading a post with swearing every other word. If we have young roleplayers, I want them to have a safe and fun time. So be careful with your amount of swearing.
Respect. It is vital in the site's survival. Respect the admins, respect the moderators, and most importantly, respect the rules.
No fighting in OOC. AT ALL.
Don't bring your personal problems on here, you're not going to receive a pity party. It messes up the roleplays and no one wants to hear it.
What I say, goes. Do you see six stars next to your name? No. :]
If you are going away, please post on the absent board. It makes it easier on all of us. If you haven't logged on in 30 days without notice of absence, you will be deleted without warning.
NO STEALING AVATARS! That bugs me BIG TIME. If someone has a pretty avatar, they took the time to search the internet to find it. You can do the same.
Here is a list of all the animals you can have in the Non-Wolf land and their life-spans: Cat 25 Cow 22 Deer 35 Dog 14 Fox 14 Goat 15 Hare 10 Horse 40 Grizzly Bear 32 Bison 30 Elk 22 Mountain Lion 20 Beaver 19 Squirrel 16 Ox 20 Lynx 19 Bobcat 15 Coyote 6 Caribou 15 Moose 12 Wolverine 15 Musx Ox 23 Pig, wild 25 Rabbit 9 Sheep 15 Wolf 14 Bird(Average of all kinds) 22 Chicken 15
Here, I don't usually allow liquid time. It usually creates confusion and I had enough of that on V1. At times, for like alphas and such, it can be very helpful to accept numerous members without having to do each one individually. In this case, I'll allow it. All alphas may use liquid time for the sole purpose of accepting members. There are other occasions that i might accept.. Ask first. If I'm not asked you'll be punished for it. ^^
Posting
Posts must be at least 5 sentences long. That's a PARAGRAPH people! Dialog does not count. If you're not at least that literate, you don't need to be here.
You may post in either 3rd person(He, she, his, her), or in 1st person(I, me, my, mine). I won't be picky on it, but try and pick a style and stick with it.
Everytime you use chatspeak in character, a kitten develops a malignant tumor and dies. [ths is cht spek. how r u? lyke omg! luvs ya, ttyl, byes!] So, don't use chatspeak. It's annoying and kills kittens.
Try to be descriptive. Details, well, we love details. Yay details!
Use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. We have a spell check button!
Post often, post long, post happily. We are here to post, not to sit on our lazy arses.
Joining
Post on the INFO BOARD first with your charrie's profile.
Post as soon as possible. If you have not got at least one character up in one week, you will be deleted without warning.
Auditions
These are only nessecary if I request that you make one...and here is how ya do it.
Auditions are more simple than you think. Don't get worried.
Auditions must be 2 paragraph(10 sentences)long. But, the longer the better.
Your audition will be judged according to your descriptive-ness. If you aren't to good at using 'big' and more interesting words, go to the thesaurus!
If your after-posts are...lacking in literacy, you will be warned. If you can make a good audition, you can make good posts during your entire roleplay life.
If your audition isn't approved immediately, be patient. I have a life outside of the computer and can't get on all the time. Post in the new member or chat board and get to know some members, make some friends.
Use your main character in your audition.
Fighting
Fighting MUST take place on the appropriate board.
There are five reasons to fight. I will not allow any other fighting: Over mates--Males only Over a territory--Males only Over a position--Males and Females Hatred--Males and Females Pups--Males and MOSTLY Females If two wolves develop a deep hatred for the other, fighting is the answer. This isn't the best reason to fight, so try to avoid it.
Here we use a system where you have 5 moves. Each move can be used as either an attack or a dodge.
Be reasonable. If your wolf's attack is dodged, it is open to an attack.
ONE ATTACK PER POST! And leave your attack open...example:(Blackie threw his head forward, his teeth open and aimed at the jugular.)This way, the attacked has a chance to dodge it.
I and only I will decide the outcome of the fight. I will come in and give my decision based on your wolf's bio, hierarchy status, the extent of your wolf's injuries, and how fair and detailed you post. After my decision is posted you will be free to end the fight according to my decision.
Do not complain about my decision. It is fair and final, so do NOT try and cause trouble.
Characters
--General--
Be realistic. No wings or anything like that. Jewelry is allowed to an extent. Wolves aren't going to be able to obtain things like diamond bracelets or fancy earings and such, so be reasonable.
No elements or powers. Odd colors are allowed to an extent. I don't want a pink or a green wolf walking around, it's ridiculous.
Odd eye colors are allowed. You can have any color on the rainbow, except for the three below. The conditions in which they are acceptable is next to them. :] Silver(only blind unless it's silver with a gold/brown/green rim) White(only blind) Black(only blind) Colors can be mixed, such as orange with a blue rim. All eyes must have pupils(the black in the center) and an iris(the color between the black and the white) unless the wolf is blind.(black, white, silver.)
You can have as many characters as you want, but they must all be active.
You must wait for your character to be approved before you roleplay. If I'm gone, I will have another admin approve it.
Your charrrie can die, be it from injuries, disease or old age.
Wolves live to be 13 years old. If you have questions on another animal age, PM me.
Wolves that are 8 years old are automatically considered elders.
Please use the correct term when referring to your wolf, be it male, female, or pup.
No wolves can have any special powers because the 'gods' said so. VERY rarely is an animal blessed, and either way only I can bless, considering I own both Liam and Dhaval. Do NOT put that your character is blessed in it's bio, no animals come here like that.
Mating/Birthing
Breed in the Spring and Fall. All breeding is done on the breeding grounds.
DO NOT BREED UNLESS YOU ASK ME!!!
Avoid descriptiveness in mating. Wolves have only 1 way of getting it done...there's really nothing to be detailed about. But, if you must, put and R in the title.
Give birth in the Summer and Winter.
There is no certain gestation period in the roleplays, as long as the pups are born in the correct season.
When you ask me to have pups I will tell you how many ot have.
Owning A Pack
Only males can own a pack. Females can share with their mate, but it is the male that owns it. Each Member can only own one pack. We've only got four packs, and that keeps everything fair. However, only males can own a pack. Therefore if you own one pack, but you have another wolf that is asked to be alphess, then that is completely legal. However, you can only have one of each. Each member gets one alpha, one alphess. If you own one of the packs, you will be put in the 'Alpha' member group. You must keep one thread in your terra locked, and it must have a list of all of the: Alpha Alphess Beta Male Beta Female Males Females Pups This way I will know which wolves belong to which packs.
You may also adds things such as 'Elders' and 'Lead Hunters' if you wish to set your pack up like that, or be that detailed. It's not manditory, completely optional.
You must keep me updated on any important events that happen within your pack.
Owning a God
The gods used on the proboards are strictly fictional, so do not refer to them as anything else.
To claim a god, PM me a completed form referring to the god of your choice. The form can be found on the gods board.
I rarely decline god request, but if I do, please do not question or contradict my decision.
Gods are not creatures that show theirselves to the mortal very often, remember that.
If your god does make an appearance before a creature, and decides for whatever reason to grant it a wish or bless it, that is fine. But, your god must have a meeting with Liam in the Den of Decision. He will decide whether or not it is right to bless the creature.
You can NOT use your god to kill another animal just because you don't like it, or to aid your own characters. If this happens, your god will be taken from you.
