Yes, there are more rules that are specific to this website that you absolutely must read over. These are the rules that apply to roleplaying.
ROLEPLAY LAW
- No godmodding, powerplaying, or metaplaying. No being all-powerful, no playing someone else's character, and no letting your character read minds.
- No killing someone else's character without their permission. Should be obvious.
- All roleplaying must relate to Alpha and Omega-type wolves. There's no room for realism here; this is a fansite, after all, and if you'd like to roleplay realistic wolves/winged wolves, seek out another of the hundred wolf roleplaying websites scattered throughout the internet.
- Chatspeak is prohibited. Do your best in terms of spelling; take advantage of Spell Check!
- Avoid Mary Sues/Gary Stus. See this thread for more information.
- Try to use thread tags. See below. This isn't necessary, but helpful.
- Wolf roleplaying only. Yes, there are bears and caribou in the movie, but you're still not allowed to play them as main characters; with the consent of all roleplayers involved, a temporary bear jumping into your thread to attack breifly is fine.
- Anything that happens in a thread stays in that thread. Unless you say one thread takes place directly after another one, threads are not connected; if Dawn broke her leg in one thread, she can be fully healed in another one. This is not professional. Threads aren't dated.
- Private roleplays are not allowed. All threads are open for anyone to join; if you only want to roleplay with one person, use PMs.
- Don't jump into threads with more than one page. No, this does not make the rule above obsolete. It is simply common courtesy to stay out of a thread where people have been roleplaying for a while.
- Taking turns is common courtesy. If Kate, Humphrey, and Garth are roleplaying in that order but Humphrey has to leave, Garth and Kate shouldn't just roleplay away while Humphrey is gone unless he leaves in the roleplay.
- Keep OOC and IC seperate. OOC is out of character, and defines anything that takes place outside of roleplay. Don't carry arguments from the fictional world to the real world or vice versa.
- Pure OOC posts are not allowed. Use the Cbox for chatting, not this forum.
- Canon roleplaying is not allowed unless the thread is tagged C.
