General Rules-
- This is a Beginner to Advanced RPG. So everyone is welcome. However no one liners.
- Do not Power play (Power playing is when you control another persons character, or do not give the other Role-Player a chance to react.) You may only power play if and if only the other Role-Player has said so. Failing to follow this rule. Will result in consequences.
- Do not God model (This is when you make your character invincible, otherwise known as god like) Failing to follow this rule. Will result in consequences.
- Use complete sentences and try to use good grammar and spelling. There is a spell check you know.
- Cursing is allowed IC and OOC, but do not abuse this or I will take this away.
- No sexist talk. No racist talk. And no being rude to members or staff.
- You may have no more than one or two pictures in your signature. If the signature stretches the page at all, you will be asked to re size it or remove it. You may have links to pictures in your signature if there are to many and they stretch the page.
- No "Do you like me?" polls. All it does it get peoples feelings hurt, and makes everyone else self-conscious.
- Do not talk back to staff, what we say goes.
[/li][/ul]
Posting-
- Your posts MUST be 100 words or more. When posting, include thoughts, feelings, how your character looks, how it tends to act, wha’ts going on in the world around it, etc. This will help you be able to post longer. Failing to follow this rule. Will result in consequences.
- If your posts are any less than 100 words, they will be deleted without warning. If you do it again, you will be warned. and if you do it a third time after that, you will be banned for three days. After five times, you will be deleted. We have an RP school, if you need help with posting longer, post a sample post there and people will tell you what you need to do in order to improve.
- Please post in size 1 from now on.
- You may choose whatever time of year it is in your posts. And it is breeding and birthing season all of the time.
- There is no swearing in thread titles. There are some people's parents who will flip if they see it, so any swear word in a title will be changed by a staff member.
[/li][/ul]
Graphics and Pictures-
- Do not use pictures you got from google or any other search engine like that!
- When you make a picture you must credit the picture correctly, so you must say horse: username@deviantart.com or something along those lines.
- Two places you can get pictures from are deviantart.com and flickr.com, but make sure the image is stock.
- If you are using a picture from deviantart make sure you check their stock rules! Some people allow their pics to be used in more ways than others.
- If you have a picture that is not credited properly in any posts or your signature it will be removed and you will be told to credit it properly or find a new picture.
[/li][/ul]
Creation and Characters-
- Okay there is no password for this forum but that doesn't mean you can go absolute crazy making them because if it results out like that well then i will be forced to make a password for this forum and then you would have to read the rules again for the password.
- You may have as many characters as you can handle, but they all must stay active.
- When creating a character, you must follow the form provided (as with all forms), but you may add things to it.
- If you wish to include a picture in your characters profile, then put it at the top of the post.
- You may make horse hybrids, mules, donkeys, or even zebra's. you may also make mini horses. But make sure you out the right heights and everything for them. Anything under 14.2hh is considered a pony. You may make ponies, but make sure to put the right heights.
- Do not ask me over and over to accept your character as soon as you've made it. Because I think you'll find I'll find something wrong with your bio that needs changing and that just pisses me off. So yeah. Make sure you are sure you're bio is finished. Before asking me to accept.
- Horse Heights only go up to .3 so don't make a horse with a height of 14.8 or something like that.
- The maximum height for a character is 19 Hands. No horse is allowed to be over that height. I don't care if you see 20 Hands Percheron.
- You are aloud to have any eye colour for you horse, so be creative this is not really a realist RPG afterall.
- No mystical powers are allowed. This includes anything out of the natural. No reading minds, no predicting the future, no talking to ghosts, etc.

Fighting-
- Both mares and stallion may fight, they can fight each other, or one of the same gender.
- A stallion will not always win against a mare.
- Fights are judged off of equine stats, age, health, and the role-players ability to role play.
- A fight consists of 2 dodges and 4 hits.
- Again, no Power playing or god modelling!
- Foals cannot fight until they are one year of age. Though they may play fight with each other in any thread. That will not be judged.
[/li][/ul]
Slaves-
- Only Dark and Neutral stallions may have slaves
- Your slave cells will be a sub-board in your land. If your land is a sub-board then it will just be a thread in your land.
- Masters may power play over slaves, but only slightly.
[/li][/ul]
Claiming mares and land.
- When claiming land, you post should at least 200+ words.
- From now on, a mare must be claimed before going to the breeding grounds. And she must wait 3 days before doing so.
[/li][/ul]
Breeding and Birthing-
- No graphic breeding whatsoever! You may graphic breed through PMs, but only as long as both people agree to this.
- You do not have to wait to have the foal, but you may if you wish.
- You do not have to role play the birth, but can if you wish.
- The role players that role play the parents must use the correct form in the right board and post the parents stats.
- Not every foal will survive.
- Twins are rare, so do not ask me for them! I will give them out at random.
- Triplets do happen, but are extremely rare. also, when triplets are born there is a chance that they may die, or that only one or two will survive.
- You do not have to RP the breeding; as long as both parents have an OOC agreement to have a foal then it is fine.
- I would prefer it if staff did not do their own foal stats. If you are staff and are expecting a foal, leave it for another staff member to do.
