Ah yes, the lovely rules. You all know what to do.
001. There will be no God Modding to any degree. If you do not know the full extents of God modding, then please PM me. If I catch any God modders, they will receive a warning and if they refuse to stop their disruptive behavior after said PM, then I shall find a way to deal with them (Yes, I have my ways and they do include banning). Power playing is also prohibited.
002. There will be no out of character (OOC0 discrimination of any kind. OOC fighting, name-calling, threatening, cyber bullying and any other kind of disruptive behavior is also prohibited; I expect you to all play nicely.
003. This is not a chat/hangout website; this is a role playing games (RPG) website and therefore you are expected to role play regularly. Failure to do so (except in the case of vacations, malfunctioning Internet connections and personal, real-life matters) will result in "activity warnings" and later the deletion of your account.
004. This is a literate, realistic wild horse RPG, however, we do realize that being strictly realistic would be boring for RPing purposes, so we do allow some minor non-realistic infractions:
- Horses may talk to each other as if they were humans (but they can't talk to or understand humans)
- Horses may fall in love
- Horses may have "governments", such as democracies, communism societies, fascist societies, monarchies, etc..., but the may not have advances in science, math. etc....
- They may mate with any these choose and may remain faithful t to one mare/stallion or they may breed with everyone and anyone
- Hold grudges, have enemies and continue and start feuds.
But don't take it too far, for example, I do not want to see horses trying to kiss each other, pick up things with their hooves, being unafraid of natural predators, etc...
005. No Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. A Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu is a perfect character and no animal (this includes humans) is perfect in real-life and therefore they will not be perfect in the RPG. Give your characters flaws: the more, the better.
006. I understand that many of you may be used to having all of your characters on one account, but on this site, I am requiring you to have a separate account for every character. Furthermore, each account must bear the registered name of character as its display name. This is not a difficult rule to follow and we do have an alias code installed on the site, so please PM me if you don't know how to use it. You may have as many characters as you would like, but you must keep them all active, as inactive accounts will be deleted.
007. The images used on Unbridled Phantoms are not required to be "in stock". As long as long as they don't have a copyright stamped across them, then I have no problem with you getting your pictures from Google. Please note, that once accepted, you must supply a signature and avatar depicted your character on his or her respect account. Failure to do so, will result in an admin nagging you to put appropriate images on your member profile. Did I mention that porn is strictly prohibited?
008. This is an advanced RPG website and therefore the minimum word count is 400 words. You may type 350 words if you are really muse-less, but most of the time, you should be writing posts that are at least 400 words long. Oh, and please write your posts using proper English and use spell check regularly. I frown upon incorrect grammar.
009. You must have your character's profile accepted before you begin to role play. Also, if you are using a famous horse for a face claim, be sure to claim him or her on the [url=. Also, please put together a relationship thread for your character [url=.
010. If your character is a mare, you are expected to make a post sometime in the claiming grounds and wait for another mare, a stallion or a gelding to come and "claim" her for their herd. If you are playing a canon that already has a place within a herd, then this is not necessary. Force claiming is allowed, but God modding is not. Loners will be attacked by natural predators before long and just arriving in another herd's territory is considered to be rude both in character and out or it could be interpreted as a war invasion by the herd. The magic words are early morning. If you want your mare to be claimed into a particular herd, PM the player of the lead stallion. If your character is an original stallion or gelding, then please post in the Bachelor's herd grounds (they generally don't mind) or go the claiming grounds. Stallions may also start herds of their own (players, please PM me if you would like your stallion to claim a land and I shall give you instructions from there.
011. Have fun. Seriously people, rejoice, you've found a literate wild horse site. Please enjoy it and PM me if you have any questions.
These rules may be edited at any time.
