1. RULES

[Draco]

General Rules

1. Read all the rules before joining. They are important.

2. Be respectful of other members and the staff here.

3. Do not fight OOC. If you have a problem with a member here take it to PM and message me.

4. This site is PG-13 so please keep that in mind before joining. This means that there is sexual content and the use of swear words and just about anything else you could find in a PG-13 movie. This being said, please keep swearing in and out of posts to a minimum. Do not make sexual encounters graphic or I will find you.

5. You can buy things for your character at the store with the points you earn from posts you make. You will make 5 points for every post that you make, regardless of the words. But please, make your posts long enough so that your threading partner has enough to reply to.

6. You must stay active! This means at least one post a week.

7. Please make your display name, the name of your character with the first letter being capitalized and the rest lowercase.

Role Playing

1. You can have a maximum of three characters to start. If you can keep all of them active over an extended period of time and you feel like you can handle another one then please PM me.

2. We do not have a word count but, if someone writes something more than 600 words long then please try to post with more than 300 words. It is very frustrating to write a 1000 word post and then get a 100 word reply

3. There is only one character per account. I don't care if it is easier for you to have all of them on one account. It is not that hard to log out and back in. Besides, it makes graphics like siggs and avatars easier.

4. Your character is NOT perfect. No one is. If I feel that your character is too perfect then I will not accept them. That being said, no one is completely evil either. Please give your character some depth.

5. NO GODMODDING OR POWERPLAYING! unless you have permission from the character's owner.

6. The chat box is for OOC chat. We do not have a place for IC chat for people to "try out" plots before they happen.

7. DO NOT post in character until they are accepted.

8. All posts and bios need to be written in third person. No "I" "you" "we" unless your character is speaking.

9. Speech must be bolded and thoughts must be italicized

10. Please don't expect that your character is going to be the best character that ever lived. Perfectness is unrealistic.

11. If you are very new to roleplaying or have never role played before there is a section in the Information Desk explaining how to roleplay. This is a BASIC guideline and is not meant to be copied completely. Role playing is about your writing style and the character you play, not a bunch of rules that you would need for a school paper.

GRAPHICS

1. Do not stretch the board. Your siggs can be no larger than 500X300 pixels big.

2. Give credit to whoever you take pictures from or to whoever makes you a table/ sigg

Breeding

1. There arn't breeding season on the site so, you must decide when your character is in heat but, they can only be in heat for 3 threads in a row and then you must wait 2 weeks in real time before they can be in heat again.

2. Males can reproduce whenever he is given the chance.

3. Even though in real life males do not help with child raising, on this site they may but do not have to.

The Cats

1. The three species must share land. This means that a lion pride can share the same land with a male leopard. But, this does not mean that the pride and the leopard have to interact with each other.

2. Your character does not have to interact with another character of a different species if you don't want them to

3. Your character does not have to believe in the gods.

4. A male or female leopard or cheetah can claim land but, only male lions may claim land.

5. You may have a King Cheetah or a white lion or a black leopard or any other color variations of the species but, if there are too many of them, I will ban them.

6. Your character does not have to be exactly like their descriptions but, a lion cannot run as fast as a cheetah and be as stealthy as a leopard. It's just not realistic. I made each with benefits and down falls.

7. The three gods are referenced to but, no one actually plays them.

8. It would not make sense if your lion believed in the god for leopards so, if you are going to make your character religious, please have them believe in the god that goes with their species.

9. The gods do not manipulate or control what happens on Nikkita, they merely watch over it and listen to prayers.

10. Even though, Lions are the only cats in real life to be social, for the sake of the game, you can have cheetah's and leopards be around each other as well. Just make sure there isn't ten leopards walking around together all the rime because that is just not realistic.

11. I don't care if you want to have a Lion be friends with a cheetah or any other combination. You do not have to have your character only play with other character's of their species.

The Pride

1. You cannot make a pride. There are two large prides on the site that were made by me (scout). It is up to you if you wish to have your character join one.

2. Cheetahs and Leopards do not form prides in real life, therefore; they cannot have a pride here. However, Cheetahs and Leopards can be friendly and have friends whom they live with just make sure there are not too many together at one time.

Joining the pride

1. All you need to do to join the pride is make a post in the Pride land and write [joining] after your title.

2. The pride leader will join your thread and speak to you character.

3. Because there is only one pride, your character will be accepted. But, what position they get is up to how much the Head Lion likes your character.

4. There is a list of available positions and descriptions in the Information Section. Please read all of them and make sure the position that you want is still open before deciding to join the pride.
