INTRODUCTION!
Firstly, if you are new to AF, welcome! As you have probably already noticed, we are a role-playing forum based around Erin Hunter's Warriors Series. But, like every other site out there, we have some rules that we expect you to follow at all times. Take your time and carefully read through all of the threads on this board. If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to aks! Mine and the rest of the staff's inboxes are always open. Thanks for visiting (and hopefully joining),
- Dark Nova & The Rest of the Staff Team
OUT OF CHARACTER!
Our main goal (other than role-playing, of course) is to shape and maintain a healthy community. You guys are the base of our forum, and we need to you to keep it strong, got it? Welcome newbies and guests with open arms; avoid fighting; keep the cursing to a minimum; and last but not least, be happy! I think you can all behave like civilized beings, though we do enjoy some good humour, hehe. When posting in the c-box try to post no more than three times in a row. Also, we have enabled the option to have avatars, little 45 x 45 icons that appear beside your name. Please, make sure they are not overly distracting/blinding for the eyes.
IN CHARACTER!
NEW RULE: From now on there shall be NO more original kit charries.
Oh, goody! -rubs hands together- My favorite part, and probably yours, too! For starters, we are a one account per character site, meaning that for every character you create he/she will have her own account. This is for member grouping purposes, and overall, it will keep us neat and tidy. Before creating a character, look at the side bar to make sure the kind of cat you want is not currently banned. When a character type is banned, it usually only lasts until the ratio is evened out; I.E, she-cats to toms, apprentices to warriors, and so on and so forth. One rule I cannot stress enough is no powerplaying!
• Wrong: The tom slashed his claws across the warrior's flank. His rival screeched in terror, bolting back to his territory.
• Right: The tom slashed his claws across his flank.
In a nutshell, don't act out the other character's actions. You may dodge a few moves, but if you're caught doing this everytime then you'll be warned. Right now, you are not allowed to have more than four cats at a time (and only one of the four high positions, though medicine cat apprentice is an exception). If you show that you're active then we may strech that to five. The word minimum per in character post is 200 words. I understand that we all have our down days, but don't use that excuse everytime. When kit(s) are born the parents are the ones to name them, and when an apprentice earns their warrior name the leader chooses the suffix. We want to keep this like the real deal, so no whining, please! It's not like your name is the end of the world, either. Again, the leader will take on the responsibility of choosing mentors.
