... The Rules ...
We ask that everyone create an account on this website for the purposes of the Forum. The members of Lakota Dene should be extremely active on checking the Forums. Announcements will be made on there that everyone needs to read. Even if you can't comment on it, please atleast read the posts that are being made. People can get in severe trouble if you don't read our posts. The Forum is as important to the roleplay as the actual roleplaying itself.
If for some reason you are having troubles or are getting frusterated with another user breaking the rules, please screenshot the incident and let either Zan or Q know of the issue via messaging on the website. If you need to screenshot the issue, feel free to do so.
~ You must wait atleast a week before killing off a character. We know dying is fun, however the other members would like to get to know this character and have a real reason to mourn. This is only to avoid characters being created and killed immediately </3
~ Because of the size of the map and the amount of members in this roleplay, try to only roleplay in Local. With lots of members being on at once, this is much easier. The only time you can roleplay in General is if you're completely alone with no one else around or if you are talking about / talking to another wolf out of reach. Or if people just want you to role-play in General.
~You may have unlimited characters, however you should only make as many characters as you can handle.
~If you have a Pup, we ask that you don't "Suddenly" become a higher rank. Let the royalty give you a ceremony for gaining a higher rank. Its more traditional. :3! And fun.
~You Are Not God. If you decide that you would like your character to engage in a fight between any other wolf, playful or not, It is HIGHLY unlikely that a wolf will escape out of that without a single scratch. This is realistic. It doesn't have to be a vital injury but know that after a fight you will be injured in some way and your character will likely be breathing hard. If you would like to fight against someone, please whisper them first and figure out who is going to win. It can be annoying to watch a fight that never ends. Know the ending! :3
~Please, no post cutting. If they have a ">>" Symbol or something along that line, please wait for the player to finish. Keep in mind, accidents do happen. Don't flip out on someone if they do. It's also possible that the two people are out of reach from each other, but someone in the middle can hear them both.
~I know how much many of you are excited to roleplay out a forbidden romance between a Kuna and a Tachi. However, if everyone were to have a forbidden romance, there would be no hatred between the religions. If you and another character wish to have a forbidden romance, please ask Zan or Q first. We will most likely allow it, unless there's already a bazillion forbidden romances.
~We're a mature roleplay. Swearing will happen of all sizes. If you're uncomfortable with that, I'm sorry -- but it's unavoidable. However, if someone is being extremely rude with the swearing, feel free to talk to me <3!
~Wolves Only, for now.
~Please role-play in English only. Unless like you want your character to say a few things in another language, but character actions should be English. (The fact that this is a concern though... just saying.)
~***Absolutely no power playing or god-modding. If you're not quite sure what that is, to sum it up it's normally controlling another persons character. If you're still confused, please do some more background research before joining. Most members are proficient in this.
~***No posting single sentences. This role-play is extremely literate. You may post a few short sentences "-s-" or "(short)". Otherwise please try to fill up atleast one text box. If someone posts short sentences frequently, you will be called out.
~No "action" marks (-) in character and quotes must be used for speech. Type as if you're writing a book. Would you honestly say " -she sat down- " in a book? No. You would say "She sat down". Not 'Hi.' It's ' "Hi!" '
~We don't like attention grabbers that use drama as such. Please, no attention grabbers. (Such as flailing into the other cult and dying for attention) Don't do it. Please.
~Do not use knowledge you know out of character, in character.
***No auto-hitting, AT ALL. If you're not sure what that is, it's basically saying "No miss" at the end of an attack.
~Respect and follow those that have a higher rank than you in character. In character, they have more power than you. </3 Sorry. It's all a part of the fun.
~Role play in Third Person. (She, He, Etc.) Just makes it easier for everyone.
~Your character isn't perfect, they don't know everything and have weaknesses.
~Before. B-E-F-O-R-E. Not B4. We speak English, not Bingo. No Text Talk In or out of character. Text talk is just annoying. If you're truely literate you'll be able to live without saying one of these (r, u, y, c, w8, etc)
~We're a realistic roleplay. Please avoid neon colors on your character. Having a tint of color is fine. If you're confused on this, ask.
~***Remember: You're not the main character. Each wolf is a person and each wolf wants to have fun. If you drag all the attention and 'fun stuff' to yourself the other wolves can get bored very easily. (Ranks and roles in the plot can easily get in the way of how much attention your specific character gets. For example: It's unlikely a pup will lead a hunt versus the Alpha
of the pack.)
~No all-caps posts.
Obviously: Be active. We will kick you if we find that you're not active. This is a flexible rule if you let us know. if you know you will be gone frequently, please post this in the forums.
