RULES please read before downloading the map Thanks for taking the time to read our rules. We, the staff of TMR, wish for you to at least skim through them, as we will not hold back in putting a strike on you if you broke one. Read over them a couple times, if you have to. Just remember to familiarize yourself with them so you don't have any problems with breaking any. Keep in mind that our banning system is based on a 3 strikes, you're out sort of deal. So if you are warned three times, you will be kicked from your Glade as well as the whole of the role-play. (A big rule can sometimes count as two, as well as two or three small rules can add up to make one.) 1. A C T I V I T Y - We ask that you are on at least 3 days a week. Every other day for high ranks such as second in command and keepers, and every day for a leader. (If you can't be active enough for a high rank, then don't be surprised if your leader or an Admin de-ranks you back down to a normal rank.) - We ask that you do not join the group just go offline after you join and never come back. It's rather annoying, and will lead to a kick from the group. 2. L I T E R A C Y - We like our RP to sound like a book, with smooth flowing sentences. We ask that all members use correct punctuation(adding commas, periods, capitals), spelling and lengthy posts. - RP posts that only take up one full FH chat box should have a -s- at the end of it, so we know that you will not be continuing your post. On that note, we ask that all members look for a '<' '-d-' etc before pressing that enter button. To continue your post, you will usually have a '-c-' or a '>' at the end of your post, indicating that the post wasn't completed. (Ex: The girl then >>/-c-) - If you do not live to your literacy expectations, you will be kicked after one week unless you improve. - Semi-literate grammar (correct punctuation and spelling, but your posts are short, or people that make a lot of typos) is also accepted into the RP as long as they promise to improve over time. Remember, no one is perfect! - If a person happens to go afk in the middle of their posts, and you are holding a post to enter, you are allowed to do so. Though, that doesn't mean post-cutting is allowed. It is annoying having another post cut in between the middle of yours or someone that is RPing with you, and can sometimes get confusing. You will get three warnings about post cutting before a strike is set on you. 3. C H A R A C T E R S - As far as models go, we do not care which model you use. You may use either the feline or canine model, but please, keep the colours and markings natural and realistic! - NO INSTANT CRUSHES OR MATES OF ANY KIND. Must have at least 2 IRL days to develop a crush! - You get up to 4 characters for the Glade, though if you struggle with activity, we suggest only 3 or less. This is to prevent you putting more stress on yourself to use all four characters. - Whatever you RP, you are doing it at your character's own risk. This means, if you kill someone, or go against the Glade rules, you will most likely be attacked or ran out on sight. You shouldn't act surprised or question why your character is being gunned down, as you know what you made them do and therefore it is your responsibility to handle it. - All characters must have weaknesses. You CANNOT be both agile and large/muscular at the same time. You CANNOT be small and powerful. Simple as that. Everyone has a blind spot, and it is up to you to choose that blind spot for them. - As for aging, 2-3 days will equal one week. You are allowed to slow down time if you are an adult, as it's typically the age you would like to keep your character at. For kids and teens, it is required for you to age. - We do not allow 'Evil' humans into the Glade. Evil includes murdering fellow gladers, cannibalism, etc. Sure, your character can have an attitude problem and can be rude to their gladers, but we will not have others harming their community unless it's apart of an allowed plot. 6. L E A D R O L E S - You will not receive a leading role/rank unless your leader specifically asks if you would want to fill one in. - Do not act interested in any high rank if you know you won't be active. The requirement is every other day, and daily for leaders/second in command (with some excused absences.) - All must be highly literate, familiar with the rules and how to enforce them, and know when enough is enough. - If a lead role continuously becomes absent, even if it is excused, they WILL be removed and replaced. I understand that you have a life outside of FeralHeart, but we still need someone to fill the position in the RP. - If an Admin of the roleplay finds that someone is unfit to lead, they can be demoted from their position as that role. - Lead roles are to be cherished, and you must be pretty damn special if you have it. Be sure to respect your leaders, because they will be watching every little thing and noting every little thing you do wrong. 7. C U S S I N G / L A N G U A G E - Cussing is allowed, yes. Feel free to say whatever curse word you'd like, how many times you want to say it, but remember to be at least a little mature and respect those around you. - This goes for the rule above; Respect everyone around you. This role play is meant to be fun. We're all here for the same reason; to have fun and role-play together. We build bonds and friendship, and become a tight knit group of friendly role players. Don't ruin it by being flat out rude. - Racism of any kind will not be tolerated. Remember that this game is available for everyone all around the world, and so people of different ethnicity and race will most likely be playing together. Many people can get very offended, and it will most likely cause a lot of yelling and drama - Trigger Warning - - Speak of disorders such as anorexia, depression or anxiety is not to be joked about or even talked about. Some people may have/had such problems and do not want to be around such topic. (We will not have any 'cutting' jokes either.) - The same thing goes for talk about rape. It should not be brought up in the role play at all. When I say this, I don't mean "you can say it but only as a joke!" Don't speak of it at all. It is a very mentally damaging and terrible thing to go through. To some people this may sound ridiculous, but I've come to the conclusion that it's a very reasonable rule. To add to this rule, we will not have any characters have any form of being 'raped' in their biographies. For one, it's against FeralHeart rules and two, it can be very upsetting to others around you. If you refuse, you'll be kicked. This is a very serious matter to the TMR staff. - No speak of things such as incest, sexism, etc etc. It's again, triggering, and people can be very offended by it. Just refrain from bringing it up as a topic. - Trigger Done - - Please don't bring personal problems into the RP. We'd love to be able to sit there and help you with it but it could trigger someone else by talking about said problems. - Don't complain about others or insult them in public chats such as local, group or general. I, nor anyone else in the group will /not/ take kindly to bullying, as most people are online to /escape/ real life problems such as it. 8. M I S C - Please do not take matters into your own hands if a problem occurs. Simply screenshot it and send it to a moderator or admin. - Do not bring other characters that aren't in the RP into the map simply to 'hang out'. - Do not go into the maze and cause trouble unless given permission from both leader and second in command, or keeper of the runners. If not given permission, you are violating one of the Glade rules and there will be punishment by the leader for it. The severity depends on the crime. - We ask that you don't go to extreme levels to get attention. It gets annoying when characters get hurt all the time. If you have no one to RP with, simply walk up to someone and begin talking to them in RP. If they ignore you, simply whisper a moderator or admin and they will handle it. Probably the most important rule here - Don't get all angry at the staff when someone that either you, or your character was good friends with, or even intimate with is kicked and/or banned from the role play. Just because they're your friend doesn't mean they get special treatment here. If they break rules, they get kicked. Thanks for taking your time to read through all of the role play's rules! We hope that you understand each and every one of them, and that you follow them carefully. I'm sorry about how lengthy they are, but honestly we're not that strict. It's all about being nice, RPing properly, being mature and fair and keeping active! But I've ensured to make them long and thorough to idiot proof the role play! If you break our rules and disrespect our players, remember that you won't just be banned from the RP, but you will be reported to the FeralHeart staff if you bully our community. If things happen to get out of hand, we will not only bring our RP staff into it, but also the FH ones too. | -SUGA -RAINBOWUNICORNS -RAINBOWMUFFINS |
