before you join,maybe you should read the story of mystic meadows here or take a look at the different breeds you can join as[breeds still being added]here
please,everyone,note that the positions and their tables i did not make up,but someone gave them to me.i did not know i recieved stolen stuff,so i give much credit,and a round of applause to the people who ceated the positions and the tables they are in.I am getting rid of them shortly...and please,dont bee-otch about it and post in all the tts........it TICKS ME OFF!!!!!!

My sister,steffanie,was killed in a car accident.when she got to the hospital,she was pronounced dead.that is all i know right now.when i wrote this,she died not even a half hour ago.

-Zebicorns are crosses between a zebra and a unicorn

General THIS GOES 4 EVERYONE!!

1.I will allow swearing,but not to insult someone.like if you call someone a bitch,and they get their feelings badly hurt,then the swearer must appologize.but if you go"damn!!i lost the fight!!" thats OK with me.but i will not allow sexual words,like calling someone a "whore" for example.please,dont trash my boards with those kinds of words.

Stallion/colt rules

Stallions are not allowed at this time!! we simply have to many!!

No powerplaying (especially during battles)

It isn't recommended that you claim mares, but it is allowed

You are allowed to challenge another stallion for a mare

You are not allowed to fight other stallions for Their territory,unless the herd wants a new consort.i will explain this in more detail further in the rules.

You must have three mares that were willingly with you to claim territory

Stallions shall not claim every mare who joins,or be warned the wrath of Cheetah!![just kidding,but you will get busted!]

You may breed when you are three years old

You can force a mare to breed with you if she's in your herd

You cannot ask more then 5 mares a every few days to join your herd

You may only challenge for land once a week

You may only be challenged for land once a week

If you are challenged, you must accept or lose

You may ask stallions to join your herd,but if they are over 3 years of age,that stallion[or colt]does not have the right to breed unless granted permission from the lead stallion

If you are asked to join a herd and you have befriended 3 mares, you may ask to fight for Alpha or Delta position

If you own a TT,or have just been granted permission for one,and you are not on for 2 weeks without saying you will be away you will lose you TT.fair-and-sqaure

Stallions are not allowed in heartland.

~*Mares*~

You may choose who you go with when you join

You may fight other mares for a position

You may only breed with the stallion you belong to

You may breed when you are three years old

You don't have to accept the foal if you wish

You may keep the stallion away from the foal if you wish

not all mares are total bitches,and arent allways acting nasty towards the stallions.they mostly do whatever the stallion says.but for mares that hate stallions,There is always heartland to live at.Stallions are not allowed in heartland.....

If a mare in heartland wants a foal,she may adopt a un-accepted foal.but if she breeds with a stallion and has a high position,it wont really matter unless the consort says otherwise.but,if they are in a lower position....they will be kicked out of the herd.

Battles/Challenges

1. No powerplaying if you are in a role play fight. Powerplaying is (for those who don't know) controlling the other's horse. If you do so, we will kick you out of the battle, and whatever you are fighting for will automatically be given to your opponent.also,power-playing IS ALSO considered saying like:smokey rears and crashes down on sparkys skull,causing instant death" or"smokey rears and lands on sparkys back,causing parilization" or,i hate this one"smokey rears,if he lands,he will paralize or kill his victim" that one isnt power-playing,but it is pretty much forcing the other person to dodge,and its not a move the one under attack can just gloss over either.....i classify it as cheating,and it will be cheating unless you state otherwise in your rules.[these must meet fighting standards,not some absurd rules!]

2. No god playing. (For those who do not know, godplaying is basically when you don't make your character get hurt, but make the other character get hurt.)

3. We will allow dice rolls and coin tosses, but we will be doing them only. If you roll a double two in the dice roll, your horse dies. The horse with the lowest damage wins, and the loser goes home empty-handed. o yes,if your characer gets killed,dont have a grudge on us!!just make another!!

4. Coin tosses. We will decide who's what side. Don't whine if your lucky side is heads, and you get tails instead.

5. If you are reading these rules, we'll know. The pass you must enter in other on your new post is, .::Blink-182 rules::.

6. Fire-equin,you guys cant burn eachother.im posting this anyway,though it seems obvious......

7. Unicorns; no stabbing eachother.the injuries would be to severe.think about it.a stab could kill.....unicorns may only stab if fighting for a mate...which will come later when the game gets more popular.ok?

8.Pegusi-please,no flying from high above,then crashing down,trying to kill the other one.that would break the divers neck!but yes,you may take you battle into the air.

9. Horses-you should know what to do.also,please read that fighting tip thing that kk found.has useful information!

10.if i missed anything,i just tell you in a battle or something.

Breeding/Foaling

1.A mare chooses when shes in season,when she is[must be at least once or twice every season]But be warned:a unatended mare can be bred with another stallion,so i suggest strictly keeping her inside the herd at this time.Also,They can go down to The Watering Hole if They wantto breed,or are waiting for there mate.Again,another stalion can sneak in.And its not my fault if he wants to long-breed.i think its rude,but some sick people like to do that.

2.a- Long breeding is allowed, but since we all are smart, knowledgeable young people, we all know how horses breed, and most of us don't really care for a long, descriptive version. Posting your stats is all that's really needed.Remember,anything you wouldnt see on a nature show,or anything completly or totally un-natural[like a mare *cough* doing nasty things*cough*,which i have seen happen in other rpg's,and is completly revolting],is NOT allowed! if you do do sick,un-natural long-breeding,we will ban you from breeding[you'll see what will happen].If you do it again,we will ban you completly from every board.By the way,only semi-long is allowed every where else from the breeding board.

2.b-also,semi-long means not to much descrpition in actuall mating,but lots of it in courtship.judging between long breeding and semi-long,i'd go with semi-long.i prefer short,and i hope you do to :)

3. We aren't responsible if you stumble upon a long breeding post.If you [or you parents] get mad,please consult cheetah.

4. After two days, you can go to the foaling grounds and deliver your foal there safely. Your foal can be born with deformities, but not if it's your first. You are gaurenteed a healthy, perfect first foal.but,you may have complications.you know,on being a first mother and all......

5. kk will answer your post in the foaling section.

6.Mares can abandon their foal,but only if its deformed.since you always get a heathly first foal,you would always have to keep your first,but,yes,you can still abandon it.Mares RARELY abandon their foals,and you should think hard before you decide...

you cant abandon every foal.if you abandon 3 in a row,you wont be able to cope will foals,and you will be exiled from your herd,being seen as cruel hearted.

If a foal dies,thats when mares usually adopt abandoned foals.

Stallions can kill your foal if they wish,and so can the mare.but only,again,if it has deformities.again,this is rare.

mares can also steal foals.Just post on the stealing board:what foal your stealing,the mother and the father,the herd it was born to[as in what herd the mare was in at the time],your herd,the lead stallion,your name,and what herd you belong to.then wait 2 days.if you suceed[a staff member will say if you did or if you didnt]then the foal is yours .After a week true mother[the one that birthed the foal],if she wants,can challenge back for the foal.

confusing,isnt it?if you are WAY to confused on any of these rules,please contact me on the OOC board!!

the breeding season is spring and sometimes summer if you havnt bred during spring and your still dyeing to have one.Yet,if you do breed any other time,im not stopping you.If you foal in fall or winter[especally winter]we will either ignore your post or if we do post your foal will be dead becauseof the cold,and the mare will be hurt doing that.

8. please,dont question how unicorns,fire-equin,etc. breed! it ticks me off,because i know ppl do it to bug me!

9.for the very strange people who enjoy long-breeding but dont care for the foal,to bad.you can,however *cough*practise*cough* on the breeding board,granted permisson from me or a staff member.

Sneaking

1. If you wish to sneak a horse from their herd, you must post on the sneaking board your name, herd, whom you are stealing, whom that horse is being stolen from and the horse that is being stolen's herd.

2. You must wait one day before the horse can come to your herd....that is, if you aren't caught. You must also wait for a staff member to post a message saying if the steal was successful, or unsuccessful.

3.Only the consorts,or the other high ranking,can steal.Steals are VERY different from raids.i will get to raids later.

mares can steal foals,i mentioned that in the breeding.foals section.

Territorries/Claiming

all that join after 11-22-02 need to join the folowing tts:

heartland
the lake
or mysti meadows
only those until these rules say otherwise!

A.No made teritorys[or TTs,for short]ALL PLAYERS MUST PROVE TO THE MATCH OF THEIR BREED IF THEY CAN BE CONSORT!

This chart thing shows who consults who.
For Unicorns:Atticus,you may find him at the lake,or,Frostbite,find her at the snowland.
For Pegusi:Celestiala,find her at Cloudland
For Horses:(onspiracy,find her at Heartland,or the island.
so dont say"i sked to claim this!!"just go to the tt you want,post you want to challenge for it,and go to the Challenging and post that you are challenging for it.THATS ALL THATS NEEDED!

1. Mares can claim a territory.

2. Each player may only have one tt each. This does not mean they can claim one tt each character they play, they can only claim one, ever.

3.The Anarchists land is for those whom have been exiled from their old territories, unwelcome to join any other territories{coming when the game gets more popular}

The Court

1)this place is just a place where everyone comes to be friendly,have a "conversation" and stuff.no hared is allowed.

2)if some get bored of being with "beginning" rpers,thats too bad.Solve the problem by talking to that person,and maybe helping them.

Remeber,only mares are allowed in heartland.only pegusi are allowed in cloudland,but they cant go to any other tt,obly the court,to meet someone.yes,you can go to that herd to tell a certain person to meet you at the court,but it must bee you only message!

The Territory rules[again]

Some TTs are claimable,but not all.You must always,always,always put in your joiing post if you would like to be consort somewhere!

For now,you may only join a teritory that already has a leader.

The Foal Training Grounds

1)The foal training grounds is where the fillies go when they turn offically two.they stay bewtween here and there herd until they are four.Then they can either:

a)Go to the joining board,post just like you were joining,only the subject of the post MUST be:
Now grown up........ or something like that.
b)stay with the herd.if they wish to stay with the herd when they turn 2,they can,but only if the alpha stallion says they can

2)young foals,weanlings(about 6-7 months old)yearlings(well duh!!1 year)may come here to play,mock fight,find "boyfriends" or "girlfriends"[please,no GAY horses!!no lesbians either!] etc..

Raids

Raids must be completed in the course of a single day.

ex: started at 9 a.m,ends at 12 p.m.

To get a hostage you must have 3 members of the raiding harem surround a character from the opposite harem with no one fighting in their defense. A harem may have a special group of wanted hostages but they must be taken the right way.

If you fight in someone’s defense that means you must charge between the raiders and your friend. Try and fight your way out by responding to flaws made by the raiders,it might just do the trick.

please,remember your characters aren’t immortal,and god-playing isnt allowed,they will get hurt…so get over it

no God-playing

No power-playing

remember,equins arent blood-thirsty animals,so get over it if you are power-hungry.

sometimes there are hopeless situations,like a mare surrounded by 3 stallions for example.she can fight,but they will eventually wear her out.

lets say if two others came to the rescue,then it would be a 3-on-3 battle.the raiders can: turn down,or fight.

Raids must be kept secret!

dont just take out a list of people you plan to take.just go out there and get 'em!

remember raiders,you also can get caught....stay with your party,you will be safer.also raiders,remember,you aren't the only ones raiding....once you call a raid,the ones being raided can just bite back in your face!

to get free,hostages,you must choose a member from the harem you were taken from,and that member can fight for your freedom.

they win=you can go home,they lose=you STAY!

If a leader challenges,of course,the battle is 4 posts long.

Well,this is the end of the rules.Thanks for reading them all!!good job!! now,to prove you have,put.::Boxcarrracer::.at the end of your joining message.
