general policy
1. Use respect please. its not that hard to show respect to everyone, not just staff. If I see respect lacking in this site I will not take it. I hate people who don't give shit about respect but if you plan to rp here, then learn how to atleast act like you are showing respect.
2. Signatures can only be 500x500 or smaller. Which means if you have say two or three images in your signature, it has to equal 500x500. We do check so make sure to check yourself before adding them.
3. If you are unsure of how something works or if you are allowed to do something, look over the rules again. If it is not mention here then you most likely can do it, but however it may be better to PM a staff to make sure.
4. No being nasty to your fellow members. This can mean anything from chewing them out for misspelling something or not replying asap on a post.
5. If you have a suggestion for the site do not PM staff, there is a board where you can post such stuff.
6. Love your neighbor as yourself. Simple guildline to make this site a success. Which means do not start random fights out of nothing. Turn the check, however many times until the one hitting it learns you don't want to fight. And become best friends!
7. Have fun, such a easy rule to follow. if you really think about it, role playing isn't just about writing, its about getting along and enjoying the ones who are on this site. Therefore; follow the rules, they are very reasonable I think so please enjoy, we worked hard on this site!
8. Swearing, its a fact of life these days. Its going to happen so I am not going to ask you not to do it. However if I see you doing it non-stop this rule will change.
chatbox policy
1. the c-box is a gift, not a need. If I see any of the above, below or current rules being broken I will take it away. I can live without it, so if you break something you pay the price.
2. No role playing in the c-box, please. However you can ask if anyone would like to reply in a thread you have already created.
3. Do not use excessive punctuation, I hate it and it drives me up the wall. No spamming either.
ranks policy
1. You may only have one high ranked cat per person on TS role playing. Which means if you have a cat in Thunderclan that is a leader, you may not have a cat in Shadowclan that is a deputy.
2. To get a high position, you DO NOT just fill out a form and submit it. You make a WARRIOR first and then when the high position auditions open you take the warrior you created and go audition.
3. A players cat can not be warrior for as long as they like. They need to have their cat die, retire, run away, whatever you want. But you need to let other people have a turn in being leader. Therefore, your cat may be leader for 2 months (in real life). If there is no deputy to take the place of the leader then there will be an audition.
in character policy
1. Please keep only as many characters as you can handle.
2. You may not roleplay until your character has been moved to the accepted characters board.
3. We know that you may not be able to finish your characters in one sitting. So please, if you're working on a character, put "WIP" or "UF" or something of the like in the subject line, and take it out when it's done.
5. No Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. No one is perfect, and we expect your character to have faults.
6. No power playing or god-modding (PP & GM).
7. If you want your thread private or with just one other feline(or however many) make sure to putin the title, and also put the names and rpers of the felines invited.
8. There is a 150 word minimum for your posts. This is, after all, a literate roleplay site, and we'd like to keep it that way. Of course, however writes block happens, and so we allow you to be able to have a little freedom with that. Just don't get to many.
9. Bolding your speech is not an exception for quotation marks, kay. We would prefer you bold your speech and italicize your thoughts if you are going to stylize.
10. Force-breeding is not allowed.
11. You cannot breed your own characters together.
12. Random events are exactly that; random. We do not use favoritism when picking the feline or clan.
13. You may roleplay in third person or in first person.
14. Liquid time is allowed, but you may have only three threads per character.
15. You can only have on character per account. It keeps it much more organized. Please no complaining about this.
breeding policy
1. You may only breed and become 'pregnant' in season.
2. You must then have both parents post on the romance board.
3. As stated earlier, force-breeding is not allowed.
4. When making the bio for the kit make sure to only include the personality and appearance. You can update the history as the kits life plays out.
5. You can do what you want with the kit; you can put it up for adoption, or you can have someone roleplay it.
6. What you get is entirely up to chance. No complaints.
Questions or comments are readily accepted, just PM a staff member.
time & seasons

Each month is one season.
