Rules

[Trillian]

General Rules

1.) All members of FM must respect each other. This means no swearing, name calling, degrading and or making others feel unwelcome.
2.) Do not fight with each other in C-Box or OOC.
3.) No inappropriate pictures like of horses matting or anything, we really don’t want to see that. And no inappropriate links either.
4.) Make sure that when you know you are going to be absent for a long time you post in the bored that actually tells us that you are going to be away so that when the time comes for Activity Checks we don’t accidentally delete you.
5.) Swearing is allowed but only to some extent. And if the person you are rping with asks you to stop please be accommodating.
6.) God-moding (GM) or Power-Playing (PP) will not be tolerated. It’s inexcusable for you to try and control someone else. It is not your character and you have no right to control it. Plus if GM or PP takes place it takes the fun out of rping. Also don’t try to kill off another character unless you consult with their rper.
7.) Display names can not have anything inappropriate in it. No numbers ether though things like ~!$*”’<>?/ are acceptable, but please do not go over board.
8.) You don’t need more then one account because you can have multiple characters on one account!

Character Rules

1.) You can have as many characters as you want but you must keep them all active, if you don’t you will be asked to cut down.
2.) FM is a semi-realistic Horse RPG set in a time of peace. Meaning there are no wings, odd colored coats and or eyes… ext.
3.) This site is strictly for horses. No cats, dogs, birds, aliens and defiantly no humans.
4.) You must follow the Create Your horse form, and although you can add some of your own personal things and pretty it up you can’t leave any of the things that we have as requirements blank, when filling it out.
5.) When you are showing us an example of you rping you only have to have an example on the first character. All other characters that you make can have links to your first one so that we can check back to it quickly. The example can also be from another rpg, horse or non horse.
6.) Character Pictures must be a maximum of 500x500 because if it is any bigger then it will stretch the screen of the computer. If you violate this rule even for a first timer then I will have to kick you off because this rule will make sure you have actually read everything.
7.) Seasons in Forevermora are three weeks long, the first week is early seconded mid and last late. Every 12 weeks is a new year in Forevermora so be sure to keep an eye on your horse/horses age(s)

When Posting

1.) When posting with your equine you must have at least 325 words. If you don’t think you can do that then I don’t think that this site is for you. When you are at a loss for muse listen to a song, read a book, bring in your charries history ect.
2.) Proper grammar is mandatory. Though if a few words are misspelled or you forget to add a few punctuations here and there we understand.
3.) No in-character double posting please though when OOC you can bump your topics.
4.) With FM you may ether use first person or second person, it is up to you.
5.) Font size must be 0-2 no bigger though with tittles and whatnot you can have then up to 5 and can make them as fancy as you want.
6.) Also if you want you can use the form below at the end of your post.

Horses

1.) Horses must be at least 3 years in order to breed; and 4 to own their own land.
2.) Breeding is allowed in Winter in Summer. Foaling is in Spring and Fall. Winter breeding's have Spring foals and Summer breeding's have Fall foals.
3.) No female horses may come into FM pregnant.
4.) If you are in a herd and the leader says that you must ask he/she then please do before breeding.
5.) Graphic breeding is allowed just put a M for mature in title.
6.) Horses turn old at 13 years, they can still be leader but please think about hiers taking controle.
- Stallions
1.) Can claim their own land

-Foals
1.) Can not claim land.
2.) Have to stay with their herd till they are 1 ½ then they can go on their own.

Leader

1.) Make sure that you know you are going to be active. If you have not posted at least once in a week without posting in an absence bored then that will call for a warning and if you still do not take care of your land then it will be deleted.
2.) Be ready for a lot of responsibility when faced with making a leader land. As some herds have a lot of drama.
3.) You will have to create the land pretty much on your own. The only thing that I or another Admin will do is make the board and sub boards for you. You must make the descriptions of the land. Pictures are a must though you can find them (non-copyright) and send them to me in a link and I will re size them and put them on your sub board.

Fighting

1.) If the fight is a small squermish then feel free to duke it out between yourselves.
2.) If the battle is intense and leads to severe injury or death then after the battle has ended an Admin will say who won or who lost, and the injuries that have been received.
3.) Don’t expect to leave a battle like a god, everyone will be injured in the end.
4.) You have exactly one week to respond to a fight. If you decide not to then the fight will automatically go to the challenger and they will reap the easy benefits. (Absent board excused)
5.) Males and males can fight, females and females can fight and males and females can fight. foals do not fight mature equines.

Equine Claiming

1.) If you make a lead horse then they can not be claimed, they can only claim, once they have their territory all set.
2.) If you make a claimable horse then be prepaired, your horse can be claimed by anyone in the shared lands when you post.
3.) But it's not like the lead horse comes in sais 'Your claimed' and you have to go with them. Play it out see how it goes.
4.) You CAN say no to going with a lead horse, there is forcing but it wont always work. It's all in the way you RP.
5.) Lead mares can claim stallions.
