Account Rules:
Be sure to read these before creating your account.

♦ Your account name can be anything, but the display name has to be the name of your wolf.
♦ Avatars must have a picture of your wolf. (100x100 pixels or smaller)
♦ Signatures can have a picture of your wolf, but words are allowed in the picture. Include your characters' Name, Gender, Age, Breed, and Pack somewhere in the signature (It doesn't need to be in the picture.) Size doesn't matter as we have a code to shrink images down to size. :)
♦ The 'Gender' portion of your account must be your characters' gender!
♦ Unless you have bought a third character with 100 leaves, you are allowed only TWO starter characters.
♦ Before roleplaying, go to 'The Wolves Lives' board, post your bio, and wait to be accepted.

OOC Rules:

♦ If you are to say anything that is not about your post, thread, or anything to do with roleplaying, post it in the OOC boards under General in the corresponding category of what your saying. Other direct OOC matters will be discussed via the C-Box or PM's.
♦ Keep Net-Speak to a bare-minimum in OOC.
♦ Keep Cursing OUT in OOC.
♦ This goes without saying, be nice! If you don't like someone, you will NOT bash them on our forum. If someone is being rude to you, you should PM a staff member and we will see what we can do.
♦ You may not post links to inappropriate sites (including pornographic, racist or virus-embedded sites.)If you want to post a link that some may find offensive - a song with explicit lyrics, for example - you must WARN us!

Roleplaying Rules:
Be sure to read these before posting your first RP post.

♦ You must be literate. That means you must use proper grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and all those other fun things you learned in English. C; Posts must be 200+ words long and, for Pete's' sake, use spell check!!! Its only few clicks, and an easy way to save your dignity. If you feel you are unable to literately roleplay, or an Admin tells you you need to, send a student application into the school house and you will be taught in roleplaying.
♦ Speech can be bolded, though adding color is optional. Thoughts should be italicized. As always, both are to be punctuated with quotation marks and apostrophes respectively.
♦ Any OOC must be visibly different from your post.
♦ I understand that your character may have colorful language. Thats fine. But don't over-do it. Remember, we admins see everything...
♦ Love and romance are all fine and nice, but if you want to be all DISGUSTING (You know what I mean, and if you don't, then I don't have to worry.) about it, then do it over PM or something because that doesn't need to be public.
♦ This is realistic, so wolves aren't winged or psychic or anything else.
♦ No liquid time. You can't be everywhere at one time. To go to another roleplay, you must leave the one your in.
♦ No power-playing. You play YOUR character. That's what you made it for.
♦ No god-modding. If your fighting 5 wild foxes, you can't dodge them all and kill them in one swipe. That's just unrealistic.
♦ When creating a new thread, keep the title simple. Some decoration is allowed, but please do not go overboard.
Good: Catching Fish
Bad: &<>&;x;x;:::C A T C H I N G F I S H:::;x;x;&<>&
Catch my drift?

Sparring Rules:

♦ Battles will be judged by admins. Do not reply to the post unless it has an 'Accepted Move' stamp on the bottom. If the outcome has already been decided, the same rules apply.
♦ Hight, weight, special characteristics, and gender will play a role in how we judge battles.
♦ Nothing too graphic. You know what we mean by this, and no one appreciates gore.
