Joining
-POST ON THE APPROPRIATE BOARD! Female horses post on 'Joining Mares' and male horses post on 'Joining Stallions'
-No joining as anything other than 'horse', this means no zebras, unicorns, pegusi, etc.
-Use the Joining form.
-No in-character until you have been accepted. OOC posts are fine.
Stallions
-You are a stallion at the age of 2, any younger males are colts.
-You cannot breed until the age of two.
-If you are not the lead of a terra, you must live in the plains.
-No claiming until you have a terrain
-No forcebreeding!
Mares
-You can breed at the age of 2, anything younger than that and you are considered a filly.
-You can abandon a foal if you feel you cannot care for it.
-You do not have to go with the first stallion that visits you on the claiming boards, however, we appreciate you not hanging around there forever.
Breeding
-Mares must be invited by thier stallion
-No forcebreeding!
-If a stallion and mare decide to breed, the stallion MUST POST FIRST, with his stats. the pass to the stallion joining board is teddy. The mare will post next with her stats, the both horses can start to roleplay. After the breeding an Admin will tell you if the mare is in foal or not.
-No graphic breeding allowed, please.
-If you feel the need to longbreed please stick to the PM system proboards has kindly offered to you [:
Foaling
-Mares are not allowed to foal until they receive a message of foaling conformation from Astraia. Once the message has been sent, they have one week days to commence foaling (pre-announced absences are not included). If they do not, the foal is a stillborn.
-Graphic foaling is allowed.
-The foal's gender will be decided by Astraia and will be included in said confirmation message, however, you may choose the other stats. Please choose realistically. If you're having trouble, you can look at equinecolor.com or, alternatively, message Astraia, who, in addition to being admin, is also Ignia's resident genetics freak. The password to the mares joining board is rosemary.
Stealing
-Only lead stallions can steal.
-No stealing pregnant mares.
-You can only steal one mare at a time.
-Steals are in riddle form. They must contain references to the mare's name, stats, etc.
-Riddles should be PMed to Astraia before being posted for confirmation.
-If the one whose is being stolen from does not respond in 5 days, the theif wins.
- All blocks should be in character. Blocks can only be for one mare so stallion, choose who you block wisely.
Battles
-If you want to fight, post on the board with your reason and challenge.
-Before two horses fight, Astraia must give them permission to continue.
-Fighting can be decided by either a roleplay or a roll of dice. The stallion being challenged will decide which, NOT the stallion who starts the fight.
-If the stallion being challenged does not reply to the challenger's post in 7 days, the challenger wins.
-If the fight will be roleplayed, each combatant has five posts, with four attacks and two dodges.
-NO GODMODING! No fighter is immune to all attacks. In other words.
-NO POWERPLAYING! You cannot depict the reaction or outcome of the other. This means that Star says, 'He aims to kick Blaze in the flank', Blaze must reply either, 'Star's kick hits him,' or, 'He dodges the kick'. Not in those excact words though, ;)
-The Lord or Lady will be present at each fight and will hand out
-If fighting gets out of hand, one of the Royals will stop the fight and nothing happens.
-For more info on proper fighting visit the Guidelines.
Claiming
-Only stallions may claim land.
-If a lead stallion is not active for two weeks (without notification), the land will become unclaimed and all mares will be homeless and must go to the claiming area or the plains.
-Only accepted stallions with terras may claim mares.
-You may only claim one mare per week, but please try to claim atleast one mare every month or so.
Herds
-The only stallion allowed in a herd is the lead. Colts under the age of 2 are the only other males.
-There is an unlimited number of horses allowed in each terra, however, as Ignia's population grows, more terras will be created to prevent overpopulation.
-Each stallion must post somewhere on his terra's board his herd stats, including : the lead stallion, the lead mare, any other mares, recent breedings, recent foalings, and anything else they might want to add. Astraia can sticky these posts for you, if you wish, and they can then be edited at will.
Thanks for reading!
ASTRAIA.
