General + Swearing is allowed, but keep it to a minimum of one swear word per 100 words in your posts. If you have 600 word posts, then you can use 6 swear words. The first letter of the joining password is 'c'. Once you get up to 10 swear words allowed, you cannot use anymore than that, meaning if you have 2000 words in your post, you cannot use 20 swear words. Sorry. The more severe cuss words have been censored and changed.
+ No sex or porn is allowed. Keep it PG-13, meaning there can be kissing and a little physical affection, but nothing more. If I feel it has gotten out of hand, you'll be warned once before it is deleted. If you are warned, you must modify the post(s) so that it is not so graphic.
+ Respect your fellow members as well as your staff. What the admin says goes and that is final.
Posts + When joining, the *admin who accepts you will dub you either beginner, intermediate or advanced. Do not argue with the results unless you can prove us different. Different levels have different word requirements. The second letter of the joining password is 'h'. Make sure your sample post reflects on your average work, not your best but not your worst.
Beginner - 100 word requirement Intermdiate - 150 word requirement Advanced - 200 word requirement If you can exceed these requirements, that'd be great.
+ Try to refrain from posting strictly ooc on IC threads and boards. This clutters and lengthens IC threads with only two IC posts and four pages of OOC posts. Keep OOC in the OOC board.
+ Reply as soon as you can, which goes back to being curteous to your fellow player. None of us like waiting for a week for you to post and say, "Sorry, no muse." If you are going to take longer than three days to respond (without posting in AWAY) then you must not state you are low on muse or how bad that post was etc. The third letter to the joining password is 'x'. If we are going to wait that long, make it worth it please.
Joining + You need a password to join this site. It is hidden in the rules, if you don't know that already.
+ There is a limit to the number of characters you can play (to ensure they stay active). If you want more, you must request it to an admin. You may have only three humans (at least one of each sex - 1 boy and 2 girls, 2 boys and one girl) and three horses (same with the horses...at least 1 of each sex). This rule may change depending on which gender we are in need of.
+ Please use the joining forms that are provided in the joining boards.
+ PLEASE MAKE SEPERATE THREADS FOR EACH CHARACTER. I know it is easier to put them all on one thread, but I have seperate supboards for accepted horses and humans. I also need to accept them seperately.
+ You must wait to be accepted before RPing. This goes with any other characters you make. Do not put multiple characters on one thread. Each character must have their own thread.
Instructors + There is currently 1 instructor.
+ To become an instructor, your character must be at least 20 years old. You must also have real life experience with horses. I also require you to be an intermediate - advanced Role Player. The fourth letter to the password is 'i'.
+ Instructors have assigned students. You must set up your own lessons times etc. Not all instructors are great horse trainers, which is why we have...
Horse Trainers + Can be any age from 14 - 100 years old. Of course, your character's age reflects on your character's ability to train. To be considered a horse trainer, you must be hired by BPEC or another ranch to train horses. The fifth letter to the joining password is 'g'. You may also be considered a trainer if you own your own ranch and own / train at least three different horses. You may play one of them, however the others must be played by other players.
+ Horse trainers are the only ones allowed to 'catch' wild horses.
Students + Must register with BPEC as a student. If you have a specific horse you are to be riding and playing, register them, too. If not, Another player will play a lesson horse for you. The sixth letter to the joining password is 'r'.
+ Must attend lessons, that is the whole reason for being a student...to attend lessons.
+ You don't nessacarily need to stay in a dorm. You may have parents or a parent or a gaurdianand stay in one of the houses and return to them at night and on weekends if you would like.
Horses + Remember you may only have three.
+ Horses are not required to be registered to be ridden or bred.
+ Horses do not talk on this RPG, and people cannot understand them. Keep it snorts, whinnies, grunts and body language only. If you'd like to incorporate a form of speach and cannot through snorts, grunts, whinnies or body language, then you may go...
The stallion gave the woman a blank look, a flicker in his eyes. The way he looked at her looked as if he were saying, "We went for a ride this morning. You want to put that hundred pound thing back on my back again?"
+ Horses must follow height requirements as well. Ponies are 14hands and less. The seventh letter is 'f'. Light horses (thoroughbreds and warmbloods) can get up to 17 hands depending on their breed. Stock horses (quarter horses, paints and arabs) are 14.2 - 16hands. Heights go in incraments of 3 inches. Meaning heights are 15.0hh...15.1hh...15.2hh...15.3hh...16.0hh etc.
+ You may play ONE wild horse, but there are no wild lands. You may play your wild horse when it wanders in the the human/horse contact lands to be possibly captured. Other than that, there are currently no wild lands available.
Gestations + Women who are pregnent must alert an admin of their pregnancy. When they do so, their gestation of "9 months" begins. The nine months will be simulated through 1 month in RL before the woman can give birth to a baby who's characteristics will be determined by an admin*.
+ Mares who are bred must be bred in the spring. No exceptions. Horses do not breed for pleasure, so that when a mare is not in heat, stallions are not tempted to mount, meaning no pregnancy. Mares must wait until the next spring to give birth. An admin* will tell you the results of the birth which incude... Color Height they will reach at maturity Disposition / manners Health Gender The admin* might also state if it was a still born or twins. You may not request it to be twins or live. You can, however, request the other results, but none are gaurenteed. The last letter is 'z'.
*-this may not be by an admin. The more members we get, the more I may be inclined to promote a willing member to be a moderator of this specific job.
