Obeeeey.... Obeeeeey.....

General Rules

Be nice. This covers everything from appropriate behavior to swears. If you know someone's not going to like it, don't do it.
Advertisements go in spam. Don't spam the rest of the boards with pleas for affiliates, or the cbox. If you're a member, we'll put your banner up no problem. Just don't expect it up there if you're a one-time visitor, and don't feel violated if we don't. Just... take a chill pill.
This site is PG-13 material. Nothing worse. Posting something graphic means being banned immediately.
Theft of any kind is not allowed. Art, characters, writing... big no-no.
We're big kids. We know what the bad words are, and we use them sometimes. That's no excuse to have a string of swears falling out of your mouth. Don't swear at others, don't be too nasty.
Please don't stretch the page with signatures; around a 500 or 600 maximum width, but bigger images are fine if you have one of those smaller clicky things. Only place big images are allowed is in the art and bio boards.
Stretching also applies to number of images. If your signature wears out our scrolling fingers, please respect us when we ask you to change it. (No limit because it depends on the size; hopefully you can be your own judge here.)

Rules for Characters

We're a big cat rpg. That means no walruses, horses, wolves, etc. It also means no warrior housecats. There's a species list around here somewhere; check it out. Meanwhile, you know the basics; tigers, ligers, lions, any type of leopards.... Give it a shot, and see if we accept it or not. It's not that big of a deal if we don't, just change it a little bit.
Maximum of seven characters allowed, limit does not extend to offspring. Though please don't have like, a litter of ten and then they each have a litter of ten, and then your swimming in a bajillion cats. All things considered, as many as you can keep active.
Post a bio following the form, wait to be accepted. We're pretty open to a lot of stuff within reason. Most magics and powers are okay, so are funny colors.
Anthro or humanlike actions/looks/behavior/whatever is not okay. I'm sure there are many sites that cater to that; yeah, we're not one of them.
If there's something about your bio we don't like, we'll ask you politely to change it, and give a clear reason of why. Respect us back, and change it.

Rules for Posts

We don't really have a set level of "quality," as in intermediate or advanced or whatever. We're looking for good roleplayers. We're not looking for one liners or a couple of sentences pitted with errors. We're not asking for pages either. Do your best, be consistent, don't judge others by their posts.
Use proper grammar in your posts. Capitalize what should be capitalized, use quotation marks, and don't make your posts impossible or frustrating to read. If you can't handle that, I suggest you learn how to write.
No posting in chatspeak. (Minor explosions OOC are acceptable and understood.)
One-liners are not acceptable. You do not have to post a page; two paragraphs or so are fine.
(Remember though, it's pretty rude to respond with someone's eight paragraph chock-full-of-details post with two skinny paragraphs.)
Again, no inappropriate content in your posts or anything that goes beyond PG-13 rating.
Spellcheck is your friend. Do not shun it.
This is not a realistic rpg, but even it has limits. Your character will not be all-powerful or perfect; give them some flaws, make them -gasp- ugly. Fire powers or whatever is fine. Ninja-like adeptness at all the elements in the entire world and then some from mars and stuff that can make people explode at will and usually does is not. Remember there are limits.

Rules for Magic/Powers/All That Jazz

This is a fantasy big cat rpg. You can make normal characters; you can also make insanely-magical-with-stars-coming-out-of-the-yinyang characters. All up to you. Most powers and physical things are accepted. There are limits though; three magical things about them per characters. As in fire power, a horn, and wings. Not in all elements power, all mind powers, and all possible physical features. Just, no.
However, things that are likely to stem from something are okay. Say for instance, your cat can set things on fire, with his brain. That is pretty damn snazzy. In related to the fire thing, there can be little cool things about him too, like a flame colored pelt, smoke from his nostrils, etc. These won't be counted as actual powers, just as details that were caused by the power.
Don't go to far though; don't say your cat having water powers can immediately make him turn into any marine animal in the whole world, and that's just a side effect blah blah blah.

Questions? Pm the admin, or just ask in the Help board.
