These rules are copyright to me, .x. {Arya}, because I wrote them. Do not repost without my permission, or claim these rules as your own.
[ G e n e r a l i t i e s ]
- Respect everyone. Even the guests.
- No graphic breeding, birthing, or anything like that!
- No prejudice, porn, swearing, or anything above PG13.
- prejudice, swearing, and the mild things of that type is allowed IN CHARACTER, if it's a trait of your character.
- You may have as many characters as you want, just make sure they're each fairly active.
- If you have a character who has claimed a territory, don't have another character claiming a territory. Which means...only ONE character of yours may be an alpha.
[ P o s t i n g I n C h a r a c t e r ]
- You must talk in third person, past tense. If you don't know what that is, ask someone.
- Use quotations for speech. Please do not italisize, underline, glow, or make speech fancy. Italisizing is for thoughts only.
- Don't make your entire post glow, be italisized, or anything like that. It gets annoying, trust me.
- Don't recolor your post. If we ever change the layout and your posts are hard to read...don't blame us, it's your fault.
- USE. SPELL. CHECK.
- Use good punctuation and such.
- In character posts must be at least five GOOD sentences- two paragraphs.
[ Y o u r P r o f i l e ]
- Avatars may be no bigger than 100x100. Overlarge avatars will be resized, and trust me, that doesn't look pretty.
- Signatures may not stretch the page. Overlarge signatures will be deleted.
- Don't have a huge name.
- Please don't use something like "ponyluver122277" as your displayed name. This isn't a sim game.

Do not start to role play with a character that has not been accepted, let alone created.
Do not kill another character without the permission of its player or an admin.
Males...
Are 3+ years old
May steal, challenge, or claim females and land
May forcebreed females
Females...
Are 3+ years old
May not steal, challenge, or claim males or land
May fight only other females (CAN fight males, but will likely not win)
Can be forcebred by males
Have a choice of where to live, but if forcebred must go to live with the stallion who forced them
Babes...
Are under 3 years of age
Can only fight other babes (CAN fight adults, but will likely not win)
Must be cared for by a female or they will die
Cannot steal, challenge, or claim anything (royal babes might be given small babe herds to rule by royal adults, but still cannot claim/challenge/steal)
Cannot forcebreed or be forcebred
Admins will choose babes stats
--
Fighting...
Must be done in the fighting grounds.
Must be judged by a staff member who is not participating in the fight. The staff member will have their own methods of judging.
There are no automatic wins.
In challenges, the only option is to role-play, or at least for now. If you see a terrain you want, but the leader is already caught up in a fight, don't challenge. Wait until they can handle it. They've got lives too, give them a break!
Lords may refuse a challenge, IF they are busy or doing something important. If they're just sitting around with nothing to do, it's time for them to get off their bum and fight for their territory.
Mares may fight, but not for land/mares, only for herds positions in a herd and such.
If you lose, you may not challenge again or try and take it back for a seven day grace period.
The number of attacks, dodges, posts, ect. Will be determined in the challenging thread. The horse who was challenged decides, and both players must agree on it.
Stealing...
Steals may be done in riddle or role-play form. Take your pick.
Mares are not allowed to steal
Riddles must be 5+ lines long, and must state who/what you are stealing, and who from.
With blocking, you may only block 1 mare out of five. So you have to actually read the riddle, and you can't block every mare you have.
If you block a steal, you must be ready with a reason, which would be referring to the riddle.
You have 4 days to block a steal.
You may not steal from someone who has posted in the away boards. If you do that, your steal will be invalid.
If something is stolen from you, you may not challenge or steal it back for a seven day grace period.
Staff must approve of your steal before you collect your prize.
Breeding/Birthing...
Must be done in the designated areas or within the pack/herd/land the couple live in
Staff will decide the stats of the new babe
Do not be graphic if you are Please Post *** in the topic. (note the thing that says "DO NOT BE GRAPHIC." This means that you're not supposed to be graphic in the first place, and being graphic can get sites deleted. What you post can really affect the future of AR.)
Females must wait at least seven days (in real life) to birth
Babes may not breed/birth
The Empire & It's Clans...
All of Acid Rain is known as the Empire. Four clans populate this place: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. Each clan has its own characteristics, and has two lords and two ladies: one pair of equine rulers, and one pair of lupine rulers. Divided from these clans are the territories, where alphas lead.
