These are the rules of RotW.
They must be followed, failure to follow them will result in a warning. Three Warnings is a permanent BAN from the rp.
By joining the rp you are agreeing to follow all of the following rules.
The rules are separated into different aspects of the rp, and each section is a different colour. However certain rules which are white, are more important than others, and failure to follow these will result in an automatic BAN.
Site:
*Display name must be FH USERNAME
*Keep posts/threads in correct boards
*Try to check the site regularly for updates/announcements
*Post in “Absence Board” if going to be gone 3 or more days
*Keep posts appropriate
Map:
*DO NOT claim the map as your own. All credit goes to ShiveringIcePack
*Use general sparingly.
*Please try to keep posts at LEAST 3 sentences.
*Although this rp is not as strict as some when it comes to wolf speak, please use common sense. (Optics, banner, ect=ok, Cranium, pillars, mandible=NO)
*During gatherings, general will be used solely by leaders.
*OOC travel between territories is permitted only if you have permission from both your leader/deputy, and the leader/deputy of the territory you wish to travel to.
*There will be NO clan hopping without the expressed permission from both leaders, and the admin.
*Map password is only to be given to new members, and WILL NOT be shared by anyone other than the leader, or designated recruiter.
*This map is only to be used during the duration of RotW, by members of RotW.
PvP:
*Absolutely NO godmodding/powerplaying. You will get 1 warning.
*Be realistic in battle.
*Do NOT kill another character without the expressed permission of their creator.
Injury/Death:
*Your cat will die at the point a normal cat dies.
*If your character gets injured, it WILL take time to heal. You will not be up and running around like nothing happened the next day. Think carefully before injuring your character.
*If your character dies, they’re dead. They WILL not be re-incarnated. They will go to StarClan or the Dark Forest. Deceased cats may only return via visions or dreams. You must have permission from your leader to do this. (Ex; Brackenthorn visits his daughter Dovepaw in a dream to tell her he loves her the night after he dies)
Prophecies:
*No one, other than Medicine Cats and leaders, without permission from 3 mods will have visions or prophecies.
*Do not ask to be part of a prophecy. Cats to participate in prophecies will be chosen by their leaders. If you ask, you WILL NOT get it.
Aging:
*Kits must remain kits for 4 irl days. This means that you must be ONLINE, roleplaying for a decent amount of time 4 different days. This DOES NOT mean that if you’re born on Monday, you’re online Monday, come on for five minutes on Tuesday, don’t come online on Wednesday, and then log in on Thursday, you will be apprenticed. Also, kits must remain in the nursery their first irl day. Any kit caught leaving camp will have their apprentice ceremony delayed 1 irl day for each time they leave camp. After 3 ventures from camp, your leader may decide that your kit was killed by an owl, fox, or similar predator.
*Apprentices must remain so for 5 days. The same rule applies to apprentices as to kits. You must be online, and train with your mentor on 5 different days. If you or your character has a bad attitude, or asks for a new mentor without reason, your leader CAN delay your ceremony. Apprentices MAY NOT leave camp without a warrior. Your warrior ceremony will be delayed 1 day for each unaccompanied “field trip”.
*Warriors and Elders age at your own pace.
*Queens must wait 3 days to give birth, they must be online and roleplaying on three different days. Queens must also remain in the nursery and wait to return to warrior duties until their kits are apprenticed.
Mating:
*Forbidden love is allowed, provided you have permission from both leaders, and the Admin, (Damara)
*Medicine Cats may take mates, however FEMALE medicine cats may NOT have kits. MALE medicine cats may have kits. However, if a medicine cat disregards his duties because of his kits, he will be retired, and his apprentice will be named the new medicine cat.
*If a female Medicine Cat is caught having kits she may be banished by her leader
*Queens may not give birth to more than 4 live kits.
*Your character does not have to be heterosexual. Yes this is unrealistic, but it isn't fair to alienate our friends and members with different sexual orientations than our own.
*If you and your mate wish to rp mating, it must be done in whisper. No exceptions.
Characters:
*You may have 2 clan cats. They do not need to be in the same clan, however you must remain active on both.
*If you join two different clans, and those clans go to battle, the one you joined first is the one you fight with. The ONLY exception to this is if your first character is a kit.
*There will be no more than 5 no-clan cats in the map. This DOES NOT count if your no-clanner intends on joining a clan within 2 irl days of joining the rp, and this DOES NOT include kittypets and barn/street-cats.
*Kittypets and barn/street-cats are NOT permitted to leave the two-leg place.
*There will be no more than 3 non-feline characters in the rp. Non-feline characters must be a; dog, fox, or badger.
*Your character MUST eat. I know a lot of people forget, but your character must eat, or hunt regularly.
Naming:
*Names must be realistic. There will be no tiger, leopard, lion, names. Unless your cat is a former kittypet, whose owners named him for his appearance, he would have no idea that such things even existed.
*Names must be in the proper format. The first letter should be capitalized. That’s it. EX: Brackenthorn, not BrackenThorn.
*Tags MUST be present and in the proper format; The first letter of your clan, R, T, W, or S, a capital C, and the first letter of your rank. All three letters should be capital.
