Major Rules

These are the rules that you MUST follow for the sake of staying in the map/role play.


RULE #1:
Minimal swearing. No exceptions. Some of us don't like it, and there are young children in the group. This goes for vulgarity as well. Not accepted. 

RULE #2:
No public "mating". If you'd care do do such, take it to whisper and someplace private. Nobody wants to see such behavior out in the open so please, respect our eyes.

RULE #3:
No terrorism plots. If you are caught we will send the FBI after you.

RULE #4:
No out of char arguing. If you got a problem with someone take it to whisper or outta the map, or you will be asked to leave the map. 


Rule #5

Adhere to the farm status and news. That means watch the numbers of animals that you kill and try to keep count, spread yourself wisely, (don't eat all the chickens) and go with the previous role playing where you can.


Rule #6

This is a fairly new rule, but it applies all the same. Do NOT kill anything on the farm without permission. Everyone does this, and with so many people roleplaying, it just gets to be too much. You will be kicked from the roleplay if you break this rule.

Minor Rules/Guidelines 

These are minor rules, nothing that could really have you kicked from the map, but you will likely no receive response, help, or acknowledgement if you fail to follow them. 


Rule #1

This is an open map. Sometimes people will come in and explore or role play without joining the official group, and that is okay. Just let them know the map rules if they step out of line, but don't argue with them or demand that they leave. 


Rule #2. 

Don't interrupt someone's role play and/or posts with your own, or try to divert their attention if they are in a serious one-on-one. We do understand though that accidents happen. 


Rule #3

If you have presets that you want to be seen, post them in the forums, instead of asking for everyone to download it from your bio. It will be placed in a mass pack for everyone to see as soon as they download the map. 


Rule #4 

Don't come right into the map and fall over with blood spurting from your mouth. Its unprofessional, and not fun for the rest of us, especially if it happens all the time.


Rule #5

If you have problems with downloads, say it once in public chat and then wait for someone to whisper you with help.


Rule #6

Try your best to follow the guidelines for characters, though we accept all, we are a farm roleplay.


REMEMBER that we are a group role play. Participate. Why do we call this out here? Because everyone wants to be a loner. We are all together on this, our roleplaying connects. Participate in group role plays, events, and for the love of all that is good and sacred YOU ARE ON A FARM! What does that mean? Well, if you're on a farm, you do farm things, like work, and fix things, and you have jobs. Everyone is always busy on a farm.

Wolves (You Can Skip These If They Don't Apply To You)

A few rules for wolves joining the roleplay, to make things run more smoothly.

Neither of the packs are taken.


Rule #1

If you are a wolf, then you live with either the Forest Pack or the River Pack. 

Note that the leader WILL be an NPC if none has taken over. NPC Wolf Leader's default names are these: Tahlo is alpha male of Forest Pack, Anana is Alpha female of River Pack.


Rule #2 

Anyone can 'challenge' for leader if none has taken the job. If the leader is booted for inactivity, then the default names go back into effect and a new slot for a real person opens up.

Rule #3
Currently, there are no open spaces for loners. You MUST join a pack. If you don't have a real leader, that's what your imagination is for. Run wild with Tahlo and Anana. 

Activity

You have made a commitment to our role play, and we expect to see you at least every three days. If you do not return in those three days without telling us in some way, then your character will be kicked and its death or disappearance will be acted out if you have been established among our community. If you return, you must have a new character.

If you join, role play once, and then we never see you again, we will assume that you decided that you didn't want to be in the role play after all and you will be removed from the group without further discussion, and no role play of your character's leaving. 

You are only alowed two characters, but you MUST be active on all of them, or they will be kicked the same as an inactive member.
