[+] Cursing will be permitted, but please keep it to a minimum.
[+] No porn or anything of that sort will be permitted.
[+] Please respect all members, especially staff members.
[+] Please, no fights in OOC.
[+] Please use OOC when appropriate.
[+] At least 150 words per post please, I find that fairly easy to do.
[+] Whole, completed OOC posts are permitted only in the OOC boards.
[+] The first part of the password is hm.
[+] No power-playing.
[+] No killing other people's characters unless permission has been given, and it has been arranged.

[+] You may have as many characters as you want. But they must all be active.
[+] Your character must be accepted before you can start roleplaying with him/her.
[+] No wings, horns, odd colors, etc.
[+] Only real horse breeds accepted (no donkeys, unicorns, pegasi, etc.)
[+] No unrealistic heights (eg. 13hh for a mini)
[+] The second part of the password is ha.
[+] No god-modeling.
[+] Please make your character name unique, and check to make sure your character name hasn't been used already.

[+] Each month is a season.
[+] There are four seasons in a year, so 4 months = 1 year
[+] Horses age accordingly and must die by the time they're 30 years old. Special horses MIGHT become immortal.
[+] Foals may be speed-aged, but cannot be older than their dam and sire.

[+] A stallion can breed when he is 3 or older, a mare can breed when she is 4 or older.
[+] Graphic breeding is permitted, but please put a [G] in the subject somewhere to warn people who might not want to read such.
[+] Graphic birthing is permitted as well, but please put a [G] somewhere in the subject to warn people.
[+] Forcebreeding occurs in The Gorge only.
[+] Breeding is only allowed in the Spring and Summer, although forcebreeding can occur year-round.
[+] The third part of the password is ho.
[+] The lead stallion can force any mare in his to breed with him. Similarly, the lead mare can force any stallion in her herd to breed with her.
[+] Birthing occurs in the Winter and Spring, although it can happen anytime if the mare was forcebred in The Gorge.
[+] A mare can give birth anytime the roleplayer feels is time, but foals born in the Summer and Autumn are prone to birth defects or still-births.
[+] You can choose for your mare to have twins, but only one pair of twins are permitted per mare character. In addition, there is a fifty-fifty chance of one foal dying.
[+] A staff member will post a few of the foal's stats.

[+] Both stallions and mares can claim land.
[+] A roleplayer can only gain one land by claiming/challenging. But if his/her character was chosen to lead alongside the original claimer of another land, that is permitted.
[+] The fourth part of the password is hu
[+] After claiming a land, you must have at least one horse in your herd within two weeks, or else you will lose the territory.
[+] If you are inactive for three weeks without notice, then you lose your territory.
[+] Only the lead and beta stallions and mares may claim horses.
[+] Mares and stallions who don't have a mate can go to The Meadow to find one and invite him/her into the herd, if he/she wants to.
[+] Claims on terras can be accepted or rejected by the Royal[s] of that alliance.
[+] To claim, create a roleplaying post of your stallion/mare claiming that land in that land's board.

[+] Both stallions and mares can challenge for land, horses, etc.
[+] A battle contains 12 posts. The first two posts will be the challenger arriving, then the challenged arriving. Then the battlers alternate posts for five more posts. Each horse has 3 attacks and 2 dodges, meaning that each horse can only attack 3 times, and each horse must get hit squarely at least once.
[+] Battles are judged by the length and detail of posts and are judged on a point scale.
[+] The winner can decide what he/she wants to do with the defeated (eg. let him/her stay in the herd, chase him/her off, let him/her continue to lead the herd, etc.)
[+] The fifth part of the password is he.
[+] Strength, Wisdom, and Experience also affect the judging, by adding points.

[+] Steals are posted in OOC in The Stolen Meadow.
[+] Steals are posted in poem/riddle form.
[+] The poem/riddle must somehow tell the name of the mare/stallion, the stallion/mare who's stealing, and what land the mare/stallion being stolen is from.
[+] Each roleplayer can only block once per steal if they think the mare/stallion that's being stolen is one of the mares/stallions in his/her herd, if he/she has a character that leads a herd.
[+] Only leads may block.
[+] If the lead of the herd does not block within a week of the steal being posted, the steal is said to be successful. If the person being stolen from is away (with notice), the person has a week after he/she comes back to reply.
[+] If you think you know what the answer is, DO NOT TELL ANYONE! Or else it becomes unfair.
[+] Each character is limited to two steals every month. We don't want mares and stallions switching herds every week... -_-

[+] Royals are the leaders of each alliance.
[+] Royals are picked by auditions, except for the Dark Queen, who is roleplayed by SeaLight.
[+] If a Royal is inactive for 3 weeks without notice, then he/she will lose his/her position.
[+] Royals can accept/reject characters and accept/reject claims on land of their alliance, as well as judge battles of their alliance.

[+] Looking at the mini-profile to the left, you can see 'Strength', 'Wisdom', and 'Experience'.
[+] These are gained when you post.
[+] Strength, wisdom, and experience can affect the outcomes of battles and auditions.
[+] Strength, wisdom, and experience can also be subtracted if you break a rule.
