By Joining you agree to abide by these rules.General
This is a Mature Roleplay. Breeding and fighting are allowed and potentially, depending on who is roleplaying, may get graphic. We reccomend you be seventeen or older to join for maturity reasons concerning this subject mainly, but if you are under that age, you have been warned.
To post with mature content, please put *M* above the post.
No OOC fighting Please! If there is a problem, let one of the Moderators know.
Breaking these rules will put you on Level 1 with a warning. The next time will be Level 2 with a 24 hour ban. Level 3 consists of a 3 Day ban. Level 4 is a week long ban, and if you manage to make it to level 5, you will be banned and deleted from the site. (The staff here are very fair, so you will have to be trying really hard to make it to Level 5.)
No harassment or insulting of another player. This is taken very seriously.
No posting of racist or pornographic content in neither signatures nor posts.
Spamming and advertising anywhere other than the specified boards is not tolerated and will quickly get you banned. This rule applies to the boards and the CBox.
Signatures may have pictures in them, but they must be small enough that they won't stretch the boards. Reccomended size is 500 by 300, anything larger than that will result in it being moved by a staff member.
The CBox is a privilege, not a right. Treat it as such.Joining a Horse
To join you must first post your bio stats in the 'Creation' section. Please put your Horse's name in the subject, and their name only.
The secret word is ‘superduper’
There is no limit to the number of horse's you can join (as long as you can keep them all active). If some of your characters are inactive, you will have the privilage of creating more removed until proving you can keep them all active again, or by killing some off/putting them up for adoption.
You may have as many horses in each kingdom as you want, but only a King from one herd at a time. This is to keep from alliances being formed based on actual players, not the Horse's.
Any one can be a King or Queen or royal member of the herd. You do not have to be a staff member to be one, nor do you have to ask.
To become a lord, you must first join as a regular member and then contact the player of a king to request the position.
Use this Form:

[i][b]RP Example -[/b][/i] At least a three sentence RP post that shows us what kind of a Role player you are. You may take one of your posts from another RP if you like. This is only needed on the first horse you create. If you do not understand how to make a bio, look in the accepted charries board or the adoption board.
If you do not want a character kill them off or put them up for adoption.
No power playing or god-moding.Ranks
The ranks go in this order:
King - The ultimate leader of the herd.
Queen - Second in command. If the King Dies, she has the option of finding another mate and remaining Queen or giving up her position.
Prince - If the King dies and the Queen does not want to remain queen or find another mate, the prince takes over as king.
Princess - If there is no prince and all of the above fails, then the Princess can find a mate and become queen.
Lord - If there are no heirs to the throne and the queen does not want to remain queen, then the title will be given to the lord.
Lady - The Lady is the mate to the Lord. She will be queen if he is appointed the title.
Stallions & Mares - these are general members of the herd. Stallions are more like the warriors while mares protect the foals in times of war, but there can be some mares that fight with the stallions.
- A mare cannot rule without a mate. a Queen must either find a mate or give up her title, and a Princess must get a mate before she can be Queen. Kings do not need a mate to rule. If you are a mate to a King, that makes you a Queen automatically.
- For the most part, Lords are appointed by the King and Queen. The title of lady simply comes by being the Lord's mate. The lord does not have to have a mate, however, to get this position.
- The King makes all the rules within the herd.Roleplaying
All levels of RPers are welcome, but you must post with a minimum word count of 175, preferably more. Request help from the staff if you are having trouble with this, and we will give you tips.
There are Northern (Public Lands) Southern (Dark Lands) Eastern (Light) & Western (Neutral) Territories. Just because you belong to a certain section doesnt mean you have to be completely evil or good or indifferent. Variety is the spice of life, and each horse has its own quirks. Maybe a Dark Stud wants to get closer to the lights to steal things from him without being suspected, so he choses a terra there. The land's being split up is just a generalization, not a rule.
To kill another horse (or have yours killed) please discuss it with the characters player first. (you can do this in 'Discussion' or pm them.) Some players may request to have their horse killed, and that is fine.
Please respect all staff members. Don’t Argue with them, if you have a problem just let me know, but don’t take matters into your own hands.
Do not use chat speak while in character. Out of character is fine, but make sure others can read it.
We require that you are on at least once every three days here. Activity checks will come and go quickly, and if you don’t respond, your characters will be put up for adoption without notice. The members here are very active, and we request you are also. Most staff members are on every day, and I am several times a day to make updates.
If you become inactive without letting us know you are quitting, then your characters will be put up for adoption. If you don’t want that, tell us you are quitting/leaving the site so that we can just delete your characters and open up spots for other players.
No horse lives forever. You cannot have a perfect equine that wins every battle. Make the characters realistic with some faults, and have a horse die instead of going inactive within the herd.
I changed my mind. The secret word is 'cherrypie'.
