General
1. This site is not for beginners, and if you are, please try to write as advanced as possible . I, Maple, require proper writing/english . Thank you .
2. No chatspeak or l33tspeak .
3. No mature, graphic, racist, sexist, otherwise prejudiced, or inappropriate content. This includes (but is not limited to) statements, images, personal messages, and alternative forms of expression on the site.
4. No stealing ideas .
5. Behavior/Maturity ... please NO CURSING ! Also, do not tease or "troll" other members here . & no "M" rated threads . If found, they will be deleted immediately and whoever posted it will be banned . No exceptions .
6. No spamming .
7. One account per person! And also, do not make your avatar/signature too large . If they are, an admin will send you a warning to make it smaller .
8. The administrative staff of Warriors Pride can/will accordingly, alter the rules at any given time .
Character
9. Names, appearances, and personalities should be entirely realistic. As for names, no cat will be accepted with names like: "Diamondnose", "Metalclaw", "Shockwave" and etc . Keep everything natural . As for bios, no "sparkling pink fur" or "blue claws" . Please, make Erin Hunter proud and be considerate .
10. Histories of your cats should be moderate and unobtrusive to other members, other cats, other clans and/or the sites plots . No "boohoo" sob stories . If their past is sad, don't make it over the top .
Bad example:
Bob's entire family was killed in the massive battle of all the clans . He managed to escape with his life, but sadly most of the warriors in the all clans died .
Good example:
Bob is now an orphan . His mother, Sally, died during kit bearing and recently, his father, Bill, was bitten by an adder and is serverly sick .
11. Be as specific as possible when it comes to your character . We like descriptions .
12. Names of characters in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter are restricted . If you wish to use a name from the series, please ask an admin for permission .
13. Kits are between the ages of 0-6 moons old, Apprentices are 6-12, Warriors are 12-90, and Elders are 90-180. (For SkyClan Kits are 0-5, Apprentices 5-11, Warriors 11-90, Elders 90-180)
14. Your cat MUST age/grow-up . It cannot be a kit forever, for example . Naming ceremonies are not mandatory; the owner of the cat may decide to have one or not . Apprentices do need mentors but you can decide that with another roleplayer if you wish.
RP'ing
15. 4 sentences minimum in all IC posts.
16. No 1st person view writing; only 3rd person .
Bad Example:
My paws lightly padded on the soft sandy shore of the Lake Beach . The wind ruffled my fur and sent mist to surround and cool me .
Good Example:
Honeypaw's paws padded lightly on the soft sandy shore to the Lake Beach . The wind ruffled her sandy fur and sent mist to surround and cool her .
17. No Godmodding, meta-gaming, auto-hitting, or power-playing. This basically sums up our policies.
18. Extremely graphic violence, birthing, and mating are not acceptable .
19. Language and character stereotyping should be realistic. I'm going to be honest and say this is not hugely enforced, especially with non-forest Clan cats, but don't go overboard, please. Be creative.
20. No purely OOC posts in an IC thread. They take up space. If you're simply apologizing for not posting, either send a PM or modify the OOC post to add your IC content later.
21. We practice "liquid time", meaning that your cats can be in multiple places at a time, BUT ONLY 2 DIFFERENT THREADS AT A TIME ! For example: Honeypaw can be at the Riverclan river & camp (assuming she was there on two different days) .
22. Go by what season it is in real life .
