Laws.

RULES

These rules are to be followed. Ignoring or going against these in any way will first result in a warning, then a temporary ban. If it persists, you will be banned permanently from the site. We don’t want to start any mindless and needless drama. Other than that, have fun!

1. No politics and no religion. Please, please, be mindful of this rule. This is to keep from starting needless arguments that will simply cause unease and probably some raging.

2. Realism. This goes for both role playing AND characters. Please, no “Whitepaw sprang into the air and caught the hawk skillfully and killed it with one bite.” Cats can’t kill other predators unless there is a long hard battle, usually containing other cats, let alone an apprentice. And no strangely colored eyes – CATS DO NOT HAVE RED OR PURPLE EYES. Nor do they have black pelts with white stripes. Please pay attention to this rule while creating a character or you will be asked to change them.
Also, names. Cats don't know what a ruby or a sapphire is, along with dragons and such. Keep names realistic or you will be asked to change them.

3. Literacy. I know everyone has bad days, but please have a one paragraph (six sentences) minimum while posting. There is no cap on how much you can write however.

4. ABSOLUTELY NO HARASSMENT. Unless you’re role playing, this is NOT TOLERATED and will result in an immediate ban.

5. Swearing. Once in a while in character is fine, but please do not spam the chat box with profanities. You will be warned.

6. Respect staff. If they ask you to do something, do it. If you’re asked to make your character more realistic, there is no discussion, same goes for swearing and such. We’re here to keep it at least somewhat clean.

7. DO NOT ASK TO BE STAFF. You will be immediately turned down and probably won’t be asked to be one. When we need staff we will either host auditions or ask a member we feel is responsible enough.

8. STAY IN YOUR OWN TERRITORY. Unless there is a war or your clan leader is taking you there, you CANNOT go into another territory. There is a board for borders, so if you feel the need to have border skirmishes, do this here, but no physical fighting unless it is passed by a staff member first.

9. No 'forbidden' love. DO NOT have your cat fall in love with a cat from another clan. It causes annoying drama for the rest of us. Unless it is plotted by staff, this is not allowed.

HOWEVER, medicine cats are able to have a mate, but the females have to have a fully trained apprentice already, so that in case they die during the birth, the clan still has a medicine cat.

10. Only 4 characters, only 1 high position. This is so that you don't have an overabundance of cats running around not being used, and leave some positions open for those who haven't had a turn. And, with four, you can have one in each clan.


11. There are no rogues or kittypets. The territories are too far away from human civilization to have any contact with pets, and there are really no place for rogues to go but far from the territories. There are, however, forest cats - cats who simply prefer to live on their own - and are the equivalent of loners, though they are known to sometimes follow the warrior code and attend gatherings from time to time.
There may be an option to create a forest cat in the future.




These are the main rules for now, though they are subject to change.
