RULES

[WICKED♪ ♫]

WELCOME TO MUSTANG V2.
Thank you for taking the time to read our rules.

GENERAL:

>> We are strong believers in mutual respect. Whether you are a new member or a staff member, you will be respected and treated equally and fairly.
>> One account per member, please.
>> After posting your character's info, please wait for them to be accepted before posting.
>> Three weeks are equal to one season.
>> Power-playing: General biting/nipping/touching allowed, as this helps keep things exciting. The only exception to this rule are lead mares and stallions, as sometimes they need a bit more power to make sure their rank is respected as it should be. To this end they may power-play with the members of their herd - no matter what land they're in! They may also power-play to punish unwelcome trespassers or to chase them from their land. Such power-playing examples include inflicting mild wounds, dodging any retaliation and herding (chasing away). Beyond these exceptions/allowances no power-playing or god-moding is allowed.
>> Please keep a character log and link to it in your signature or posts. No one likes having to search for information about the character they are replying to.
>> Pictures must have credits, and may not be wider than 550 pixels. Remember to get your photos from stock providers, such as DeviantArt and Flickr.
>> If you are caught stealing someone else's picture it will be removed immediately, and upon second offense you will be banned.
>> Members may buy and sell merchandise.

POSTING:

>> Liquid time allowed.
>> Minimum word count of 150 for IC posts.
>> No chat speak within posts.
>> A thread may be reserved for another player or character.
>> However, you may not "claim" an open thread. By this, I mean you may not make a post in a open thread that says "I claim this! Post coming!" because then other members that have the time to get a response up and get rp'ing don't have the chance to reply.
>> Try to stick with posting order. If there are three characters in one thread, you should each respond in order.

CHARACTERS:

>> Only horses are allowed, with the exception of purchased pets. These may not be roleplayed alone, however.
>> Keep in mind that these are wild horses and don't tend to live over 15 or 20 years.
>> All characters age in the Spring.
>> You may play as many lead mares and stallions as you like.

HERDS:

>> A herd may be nomadic or settle in one claimed land.
>> Only mares and stallions three years or older may lead a herd.
>> Claiming may be done in any public land.
>> Force-claiming may be done in any claimed herd land or in Misty Forest.
>> Lead stallions and mares may claim other horses.
>> Both mares and stallions may join herds/be stolen.
>> Herd statistics must be kept updated in the "HERD LOGS" board.
>> You must have at least 100 posts and one herd member in order to claim a land.
>> To claim a land, you will be required to prove herd activity with a minimum post/thread count. Please check the land you want to claim for the form that must be filled out.
>> Each member is allowed only one free land. If you want a second you have to buy it.
>> After claiming/winning/defending a land, the new/victorious lead has a one season rest period in which s/he cannot be challenged.
>> A mare or stallion may not leave the herd against the lead's will. (Please post in that lead's herd log if your stallion or mare leaves the herd.)
>> A lead will lose their lands if s/he becomes inactive. S/he needs to be posted at least once a week! The staff will judge activity accordingly.

CHALLENGING/STEALING:

SUB HERDS:

>> A "sub herd" is a herd that lives on a land already occupied by the main herd.
>> A sub herd does not need to prove activity in order to share land.
>> A sub herd may only exist if the main herd allows such.
>> The main herd may set terms for the sub herd.
>> Only one sub-herd per main herd land allowed.
>> More, in detail, information found in the "HERD FAQ".

>> Judged fights played out in Battle Gorge.
>> Steals attempted in the steal board.
>> You must have at least 50 posts steal.
>> You must have at least 100 posts to challenge for land.
>> In depth battle rules located in Battle Gorge!
>> In depth steal rules located in Steal board!

BREEDING:

>> Force breeding allowed if both players consent.
>> No graphic breeding.
>> Breeding is done in spring.
>> Birthing is done in autumn of the same year.
>> Foals turn one the spring after they were born.
>> In order to breed, post your characters stats in the "BREEDING" board using the correct form.
>> Twins can only be purchased with Gemstones. View the store for more info/options.
>> For a mare to give birth, simply post a birthing thread in the "BIRTHING" board.
>> In order to breed, the two horses breeding must have had a recent thread together.

Rules subject to change at any time. Message a staff member with any questions.
