~Rules~
~Respect~
I am big on the respect deal. If someone is part of our staff, please respect that and them. And please don't start fights with your fellow roleplayers. If anything brews up, please contact an Administrator of the site. No racism, no bullying, and please just try to have fun with the other people on this site.
~Power Playing~
This is the number one biggest thing that will make me furious. Power playing is simply when one person decides that they are the ruler of the thread and takes control of another person's character.
Let's say my character is Jimmy and another person's character is Albert.
Ex:
Jimmy grabbed hold of Albert's neck and shook him back and forth. "Don't kill me!" croaked Albert as he grabbed onto Jimmy's hands.
You see, Albert was not my character and I took control of him. That would make me mad on that end of the roleplay. You also cannot kill off the other person's character without okaying it with the other person. Please be mindful of this because I will be enforcing this BIG TIME.
~Word Count~
I would like it if every roleplay post you made was at least 90 words. The minimum is 90 and the maximum is nothing. You can go on as long as you wish. If you don't get up to 90 words, your post will be ignored. Coding, links, and other words besides the reply to the roleplay don't count for your words. There is a word counter at the bottom of the reply box and below the "Post Message" when you create a thread. Please use this to be sure you get exactly 90 words.
~Characters~
Before you even create a character, be sure to find the code hidden in the rules. The code is any of the underlined letters in the rules. If the code is wrong by even one letter, your character won't get accepted. So please make sure you double check to make sure you are correct.
Anyway, you are allowed unlimited characters, but you must make a new account for each character you make with the character's first and last name being your account's name. Nobody's character can own more than 5 horses. Please be sure not to go over the limit. And one last thing. Nobody under the age of 18 may have a stallion. Stallions are much more dangerous than mares and geldings and we wouldn't want a 16 year old person to get killed by their stallion being spooked.
Alright. Now onto the subject of Play-by's. You must have a Play-by for your character to look like. No exceptions. If the Play-by you wanted has been taken, please find another one. There are a ton of celebrities out there to choose from.
~Wild & Tame Horses~
For the wild ones, please be sure that you know that your wild horse can be rounded up anywhere for the monthly round up. If your horse gets captured, you will get a PM from me saying that your horse has been captured in the round up. If your wild horse wanders onto a ranch, they can be captured.
For the tame ones, pretty much all that is happening is that, if you are a stallion, you may fight off wild stallions that come onto your ranch. Staff members will decide who is the winner.
~Ranches~
There is a small limit on ranches. This site will only have five more ranches besides the Cobbstone Creek Ranch. But don't worry! There will be a few contests to win a ranch. Only the ranches that I think will be good can go through to be accepted. So, please don't be mad if your ranch is not accepted.
~Activity~
If you register, please try to be active. We have a going away board so if you are going to have any sort of absence, please post it there. There's going to be an acitivity check every two months. I'll understand if you make an absence thread just before I do the check, but please try to get back on ASAP and do the activity check.
~Rating~
This is a PG-13 rated forum. Please, if your character wants children, you must ask an admin to make sure it is okay if you can have them. And you must fade to black in the situation of baby making and such.
~Usernames~
There is only one restraint on usernames. Please change it to your character's first and last names after you have been accepted. I mentioned this before in the Characters category of the rules. If your username has not been changed and you make a post outside of the Character Creation board, your post will be deleted. Sorry, but that's how its gotta work.
~Money & Sales~
Alright. Now onto the money. You will get $50 for each post you make. Everyone starts out with $150 and you will easily be able to work your way up from there. If you are active.
Now onto the sales. Please make sure you have enough money to buy what you want. If you don't have enough, you won't get it. When a stud fee is paid for your horse, the money will be added into(stud owner) and subracted from(mare owner) your acount by an admin. PM us once the decision has been made to cover a mare with a certain stallion. If you get a job, your job money unfortuneately does not count for your acount's money.
~Competitions~
Now onto competitions. The results will be selected by a randomizer so that everything is picked at random and not based on whether we like so-and-so better than so-and-so. There will be prizes with money for your person and in your logs there will be a post for just the admins to edit. This post will include your horse(s)'s show records and your own as well as a ribbon count of how many you have earned(first, second, and third place ribbons will only be shown though).
~Thank You~
