Rules & Regulations [MUST READ]

[attr="class","rbtxtbr2"]Literacy
-Try to use proper grammar and punctuation
-We're not looking for super literate scholars, just people who can write/type in good English. Just try your best, you can only improve.
-3 sentence minimum post. If you know your post is short, type -s- or something of the like at the end.
-Try not to use too much wolfspeak. I'm not fond of it. Half of the words included in it aren't even real words, or they don't mean what they're intended to mean. Just...try not to use it too much.

Fights
-DO NOT AUTO-HIT!!! I cannot stress this enough. It is unacceptable. (ex. Reednose jumped on top of the wiry tom, biting his neck and causing him to bleed and yowl with pain. or Galewhisker claws Nettleface's throat, killing him instantly, no miss.)
-Use words such as attempted, tried or aimed. (ex. Snowflight lashed outward with her forepaw, aiming to claw her opponent's ears.)
-Do not dodge over and over and over...and over again. 3 times maximum. (keep in mind your character's size and agility. A large, burly cat will be less likely to dodge an attack than a thin, nimble cat.)
-Use reasonable attacks.
-Keep true to your character's personality, abilities and size during fights.
-Remember, it will take more than 10 minutes for a wound to heal. ABSOLUTELY NO JUMPING AHEAD IN TIME! It was your decision to have that wound inflicted upon your character, stick with it! A serious wound will leave the warrior in the medicine den for at least 2-3 days (you have to be online for those days to count.)

OOC
-Basically, just don't be jerks.
-Don't clog the chat with caps. THIS GETS ANNOYING AFTER A WHILE!!!
-Try to be active.
-Be slightly literate OOC. No need to sound uptight, but nothing like "h3y ther m8. wat r u up 2?"
-Tell me if you're going to be away.
-KEEP IT PG!!!
-Don't cause mayhem and chaos.
-Do not discuss sensitive topics or politics
-Just...be respectable, helpful members of AtD, not trouble-making nuisances.

"Relationships" & Kits
-PLEASE don't have your cats instantly fall in love and become mates. There's no rush. Give it time.
-RPing together for at least 5 days before becoming mates would be preferable. This isn't a fairy tale. No instantaneous love.
-Honestly, I don't care if you want to RP your cats doing IT. Just do it in whisper if you really want to.
-NO PARENTLESS KITS!!! All kits have got to have biological parents or at least one of them.
-The maximum amount of kittens per litter is 6. Most queens will not birth even that many.

Characters
-You may have 3 characters and a Dark Forest cat in the RP, but if you've been active for at least 3 weeks and have been given the permission of an admin first, you may have one extra character.
-Don't kill off characters just so you can create another. Ask an admin for permission before killing a character, unless it is relevant for the plot and you are ASKED to kill off your character to move the plot forward.
-Please be realistic with coloring. No neons. Or purples. Or anything unnatural.
-Try to be active on all of your characters.
-No unneeded drama. Don't create major plots on your own.
-Keep sizing realistic. No giant, lion-sized cats. Large breeds are fine.
-Keep names reasonable. No way would you come across a cat named Princesspelt or Chubbykit. Come on people.
-No unusual items. Anything they could find in the wild naturally is fine. No weapons. No collars on clan cats.
-Every character must have at least one weakness.
-IF PRESETS ARE WORN, NORMAL COLORS AND MARKINGS MUST BE DISPLAYED UNDERNEATH FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T VIEW YOUR PRESETS. IT IS MORE PROFESSIONAL THAT WAY.
-No clan-hopping. You chose that clan, stay with it. (This will only apply later on....not that there will be more clans later *cough cough*)
-Don't give your characters GIGANTIC muzzles and chins. I don't know why, but it bugs me to no end.
