These are the rules of the RPG and the website in general. Please follow them, or there will be consequences.
Rules in bold are things that your character is supposed to follow, and apply to the roleplaying, but they can be broken since they are just laid down by the Clans and not the site's rules. But your character may be punished if others find out. XD
SITE RULES
1. Swearing: Keep it to a minimum. Younger kids may be on the website, you never know.
2. Do not spam unless the thread is designated for it.
3. No text message speaking, etc. or 1337 speak. (Leet speak) Or at least not in general.
4. Listen to the staff, they know the workings of the site and are just making sure that you follow the rules and stuff. Don't argue with them.
5. Do not make multiple accounts without my permission. If we find accounts that have matching e-mail addresses and IP addresses without you notifying us and us granting you permission (and please do not ask unless it is for a sibling, etc.) then one will be deleted.
6. Activate your account as soon as possible so we know that you are actually going to play, etc. and not just signing up to sign up.
7. Don't be a troll; don't go flaming people for no reason, etc.
8. When roleplaying, please do not double post unless you are a mod or something that is playing an NPC at the same time as your charrie, etc. Modify your post if you want to add something.
9. Please try to spell things correctly if possible; On the regular post screen there is a spell checker, use it, though it may not recognize names, etc.
10. Try to be active, you'll have more chances for member of the week, or high positions, etc.
11. Do not ask me or any other staff member to become a staff member; We handpick people that have the qualities we need as a moderator. If you ask, then we probably will not give it to you.
12. If you are staff, do not misuse your power.
13. FOLLOW THESE RULES!
14. We have the right to ban or delete the accounts of anyone we feel is purposefully breaking the rules, etc. and won't straighten up or even try to.
ROLEPLAYING
This is a Warriors RPG. (or you may know it as warrior cats, but it is officially "Warriors.) It is based on the book series written by author Erin Hunter. If you have never heard of Warriors whatsoever, look it up. Let's just say it's about cats. XD
1. You may at this point have only ONE character. You may not be a character from the series, only an original character.
2. The types of animals you can be are cats, or dogs.
3. You can either sign up as a Clan cat, kittypet (house cat), puppypet (pet dog), rogue or loner (cats not living in a Clan or as a kittypet), or a stray dog (dog equivilant of a loner or rogue).
4. Only cats may be in Clans. Stray dogs may form packs, but they will not be recognized unless they get several members. You cannot have someone sign up as a dog in a pack, you need to recruit strays and puppypets.
5. Loners and rogues can form small groups, but they will not be recognized as Clans.
6. No powerplaying or godmodding. Powerplaying= Playing or telling the actions of someone else's character. Godmodding= Uuber character (eg. acting all powerful, unbeatable in a fight, never dies).
7. BEFORE KILLING SOMEONE's CHARACTER, PLEASE ASK THEIR PERMISSION. We don't want people whining to us that someone went and killed them out of the blue, what happened, yada yada.
8. Before you may roleplay, you need to register your character HERE: www.nightstar11rpg.proboards57.com/index.cgi?board=registercharacter&action=display&thread=14 This is the thread for registering characters. Sign up as shown on the thread.
9. No impossible colors, extreme deformities, impossible large or small size, etc. on your character.
10. Be a fair roleplayer. If you do not no AT ALL how to roleplay, you might want to look it up or check out other websites to see how.
11. RP in third person. No "I did this", but using me as an example, "Nightstar did so and so".
12. You MUST sign up as either an apprentice or a kit, or take a character from the "Adopt a character" board. This is where you may take a character that someone left behind who stopped playing, OR the kits are that were born in the Clans and need a player.
13. When your character dies:
If you are a Clan cat, you go to StarClan.
If you are a stray dog, rogue, or loner, you go to the Deathplace unless you were originally a Clan cat, and still believe in StarClan and follow the Warrior code to an extent. Then you still go to StarClan.
If you are a kittypet or puppypet, you go to the Deathplace.
If you were a Clan cat that was horrible in life, then StarClan may reject you, and you will go to the Dark Forest.
On Mating:
When you wish to get a mate, post in the mating thread (in the roleplaying section)
No graphic mating. Just say "Mates with so and so" etc. in the mating thread...
No graphic kitting, etc.
You may only have one mate at a time.
When you are in StarClan or the Dark Forest, etc. you can not have kits.
1. Kits need to be 3 weeks old to be apprenticed. (They are sort of counted as 6 moons old at that point.)
2. A deputy must be chosen by the Clan's leader after the death or retirement of one before 5 days are up if there is a possible warrior for the job, unless you have posted in the leaving board, and we will postpone this for you. Otherwise, we will pick the most suitable one for you.
3. The deputy of a Clan becomes Clan leader after the old leader dies. However (this is not breakable) whenever there is a new leader, either by force and takeover or deputy being promoted, they need to be approved by the administrators of the website to make sure they are active enough and a sufficient rper.
4. There is a Gathering once every two weeks beginning on every Monday. Leaders of each Clan will post news at the Gathering Island. (rp it, and also make sure you "bring" members with you) There is a treaty on Gathering day, and StarClan will be angry if this is broken.
5. Medicine cats may not fall in love, mate, or have kits. Leaders may only have three litters at maximum.
6. Boundaries must be patrolled and marked periodically.
7. Feed the Clan when on hunting patrols before yourself.
8. Your Clan's safety comes before your own.
9. Leaders receive nine lives from StarClan if accepted by the admins, if they go to the Moonpool and speak with StarClan.
10. Medicine cats meet every two weeks beginning every Thursday. They go to the Moonpool and share tongues with StarClan.
If I missed anything important, message me.
