Note: (c) to Taiyae means the rule was copied directly from Taiyae, if an admin from Taiyae comes and asks for me to take it down then I will but for now follow these rules!
I. General Common Sense
II. Posting (c) to Taiyae
III. Graphic Content
IV. In Character
V. Other
I. General Common Sense
- No powerplaying or godmoding at all, this will not be tolerated, the only exception being if the character you're trying to write for has provided permission (pups, etc.)
- Spamming. Prohibited. Spammers will be deleted without warning.
- Metaplay. Metaplay is the insertion of OOC knowledge into roleplay. It is strictly prohibited here. If you have more than one character and you want to pass knowledge between the two, you must write out a post in which this occurs. Everything must happen IC that takes place here! You can't just say, "Okay, pretend that this and this happened already." (c) to Taiyae
- Be nice to your fellow rpers, if you don't like their wolf then fine bu be nice to the people!
II. Posting (c) to Taiyae
- Length. There is no length requirement for posts at Anoki.
- Spelling. Please make an effort to spell correctly in your posts! If you're unsure, Dictionary.com is a good site to use.
- Grammar. Chatspeak (words like 'U', etc.) is strictly prohibited. Also, try to stay clear of fragments (sentences like "He walked to the shore. Smiling as he went.")
- Punctuation. One space after an ellipse (...), two spaces before the first word of a new sentence, and one space after a comma. Also, try to keep tabs on your capitalization.
- Proofreading. Don't trust Microsoft Word to do your spell checking for you! Often programs like Word try to change misspelled words into words you didn't mean to put in your writing. Proofreading is the way to catch this!
- Wolf Lingo. Here at Taiyae, we don't tolerate "orbs", "tassels", "femme fatales", and the like. We understand these words may be "classic" or "advanced", but we still would rather not see you using them. For a sample of acceptable word usage, read pretty much any published novel. You don't see them using words like "orbs" for eyes or "auds" for ears, do you? But of course everyone seems to use them now so a few slips is fine...
- Postscripts. Even if your postscript doesn't screw up our layout, it is still prohibited - Anoki is a simple wolf roleplay, and that's all there is to it.
III. Graphic Content
- Strong language is allowed but please don't over do this, if you do you'll be warned.
- Graphic Mating. If you're going to write a graphic mating post (as in, you describe every little thing that happens), either put a warning in the title or don't write it. Anoki is not a wolf porn site. (c) to Taiyae
- In fights be as graphic as you want, it's encouraged, blood shed, violence, everything of that sort is encouraged. Wolves are violent creatures after all. If it gets a little out of control and you don't want younger people coming into the thread then put a warning in the title.
- Put warning in the title if you don't want younger people wandering in.
- Please used everything moderately so find a happy medium with everything and don't go completely insane please!
IV. In Character
- This is a realistic wolf rp so no odd colors, jewelery, wings, horns, powers or anything of that sort.
- Have fun, make friends, make enemies, be bold, do things normal wolves somethings wouldn't do, this is how plots develop.
- There are no bounds. If you're unsure, ask an admin, but the answer will almost always be "yes". (c) to Taiyae
- Aging. Characters age. There's no set aging span or anything, but if your wolf's from a certain generation of pups, make sure their ages stay consistent. Also, know when your wolf's getting old. Everyone has to get elderly sooner or later. It's inevitable. (c) to Taiyae
- Death. Your character will die if you keep him around long enough. In Anoki, someone else can kill your character without it being okay with you. If your wolf dies, deal with it and find someone else to play. Even if your wolf doesn't get killed, he might die of old age or sickness. (c) to Taiyae
- Birth. If your character gives birth, you're in control of the litter: numbers, genders, appearances, everything. For a while, you can play all the little baby pups on your mother or father's account as you please, but after they mature, you must give each pup his or her separate account. If you don't want to play a pup and can't find anyone, we can put them for adoption in the Public Area. (c) to Taiyae
- Challenges. All challenges made by any wolf are to be responded to in no less than three days, with the exception of the defendant being on vacation. You may not really want to be challenged, but you still have to deal with it! (c) to Taiyae
- No talking about IC in OOC, this is prohibited and your topic will get deleted as soon as it is seen
- Plots are to be formed in IC, though every once and a while the admins might decided to stir up some trouble.
V. Other
- Accounts, 1 wolf max per account but you may have as many accounts as you like as long as you keep them active. Please have your wolves names in your display name, funky symbols and whatnot are allowed as well.
- Remember stay active and this place will turn out great!
- This place was created to replace Taiyae for me but if it opens back up I'm totally there! The names of the boards and such are copyrighted to me, a few came from my first place Bloody Rose Valley but the rest are new, Crimson river is copyrighted to the people at Taiyae, I loved that place so I decided to put up a place like it here if that's okay.
- Have fun and make friends here!
