I have heard that some of you have been doing much that you should not be doing in RP. And this disturbs me greatly, i am not here to be your personal guardian on what you post, and those that have those powers are not either. If one of my Betas/Deltas/lead ranks tell someone to do something i expect it to be done, just as if i was the one to say it. So as of now there will be some rules and guidelines in RP that must be followed, if you do not follow it they above mentioned people will ban you temporarily from RP (I am giving them this power) And if need be from the pack. So here they are.
Roleplay semi-realistically - this means we allow the wolves to do some unrealistic things like talk, show human emotions, use herbs and plant for healing and have brightly coloured wolves. (if they are unusually coloured it would be appreciated to point out how the came to be that way in your bio if its too unnatural)
We do not allow powers of any kind or one hit kills. Any fights conducted in the rp must allow for the other player to respond. Not every hit can land and not every dodge be made.
Preferably while there is a plot set up that no huge deviations would be made. Put 'As a pack we live as one' if you have read this.
Try to keep encounters with vicious creatures like cougars and bears to a minimum as they and wolves mainly ignore each other in the wild and most encounters do not result in fights. Encounters with humans will only be instigated by council members.
Under no circumstances is there to be anything related to mating. This does not mean mates are not allowed or pups are not able to be born (with permission of the Alphas) but that anything to do with it is not to be done in rp. This rp is open to all ages and as such no mature content is allowed.
______________________________________________
I have also heard that people are being unrealistic with appearances. So hence froth there are guidelines for that too.
Appearance
Base Coat - Unrealistic colours are allowed, though if they're extreme changes to what's natural, we suggest you have some sort of story that explains how it came about that your wolf is a rainbow.
Markings - Pretty much anything you want, as long as they don't glow, or do other non-normal things.
Changing Colour - Gradual seasonal change is allowed, though we don't allow instant changes all the time. (Like from blue to green every five minutes.) Please try to be realistic with this though!
Eye Colour - Once again, pretty much anything is allowed, though if it's drastically unrealistic, please come up with a backstory to explain it =)
Hunting/Fighting
Fighting - We allow your wolves to have disagreements in RP and to hurt each other, though you may not fatally wound pack members without their writen permission.
One Hit Kills/Dodging - Your wolf cannot kill an elk, or bear, or wolf, or human in one hit. Please be as realistic as possible when it comes to fighting, and give any opponent a chance, whether your controlling them or someone else. As for dodging, it doesn't go your way every time. Your wolf isn't on steroids, you don't have lightning speed. Things are going to knock you down, and it's unfair and frustrating to someone to roleplay a fight with someone who refuses to lose.
Hunting - As realistic as possible please and thankyou. Even simple hunts like rabbits take skill, and it's certainly not an instant kill. Most of the time hunts don't work out, please keep this in mind! It also takes many wolves to bring down large prey, you can't go around killing a herd in one go.
Other Predators
Bear/Cougars - Wolves avoid these creatures, encounters with them are rare, and usually instigated by council members or those given permission, and are usually used to spice up RP, very rare when big plots are taking place!
Rabies - Rabies is a real disease that can actually affect your wolf. These unfortunate creatures are avoided, and only council members can introduce them.
Other Wolves - NEVER NEVER EVER will there be other wolves in RP that don't have their own account! They don't just appear when you post saying you see one. They have as much emotion and skill as the wolves we roleplay, and will be treated like so. Encounters are planned by the council, and usually part of plots.

You will follow all of this if you do not and i come back, i will ban you permanently from the pack.

But it will periodically change to something different so we will know if you try to copy what others have said.
