1.No harassing,bullying or generally making other people feel bad.
2.Don't describe mating, say the male mounted and dismounted, and no descriptive killing.
3.A character can only be killed if the person playing the character agrees.
4.You cannot roleplay more than 1 shaman in a group. It's not fair, and you MUST let your shaman pass down it's powers, by ceremony or mating and having pups. A shaman must mate with a non-shaman and let the other user rp the shaman pup.
5.Do NOT claim to be a staff member on pm, or take a staff member's user name OR claim to be the admin on a different account.
6.No swearing, porn or anything of adult content which is not fit for younger members to see.
7.If you break an important rule once, you get a warning. The second time, you get another warning and are banned for a day. The third time, you're banned forever, no exceptions.
8.If you break an unimportant rule, you are warned, but no banning.
9.The minimum of words in a post is six, because Illusionecho and I are quite lenient. You may post less in out of character.
10.Please, try to spell everything correctly and use proper punctuation (I can't believe I'm talking like my English teacher.) or we can't decipher what you mean. (from:illusionecho:If you really want to talk with chatspeak, you can talk to me or stormecho in general or pm us!).Out of General board, please do not use chatspeak. Others may not know what you mean.
11.No powerplaying, which means, no being successful at every hunt, no dodging every attack, and no "He grabbed the bear by the throat and killed it." Instead, it should be "He tried to grab the bear by the throat, and kill it."
Sorry that there's so many. I believe you can still live with them right? Rules AREN'T made to be broken are they?(Stares at everyone reading). If you have a comment or suggestion, tell us. And please don't waste our time saying: "Your rules are WAY too long, shorten them or I'll die!" or anything like that. It just takes up time to read and post. We won't shorten them, no matter what you say.
No godmoding (taking over someone else's character, usually done by newbies to roleplaying)
No perfect characters (A perfect character is someone who is EXTREMELY beautiful, Alphess/Alpha, great hunter, great leader, great fighter, very young, etc. No wolf is perfect, and don't pretend like yours is. ALL wolves have a flaw.)
No dark, demonic, goth wolves (Folks, wolves don't sit in the dark and say 'I wanna die'. If your wolf wants to kill people, it should have a reason. No punk-like characters either where they like pain, and the dark and that stuff. Wolves want to survive. Besides, it's a...human thing. XD)

*taptap*
Just a few suggestions:
No godmoding (taking over someone else's character, usually done by newbies to roleplaying, including myself when I was new)
No perfect characters (A perfect character is someone who is EXTREMELY beautiful, Alphena/Alpha, great hunter, great leader, great fighter, very young, etc. No wolf is perfect, and don't pretend like yours is. ALL wolves have a flaw.)
No dark, demonic, goth wolves (Folks, wolves don't sit in the dark and say 'I wanna die'. If your wolf wants to kill people, it should have a reason. No punk-like characters either where they like pain, and the dark and that stuff. Wolves want to survive. Besides, it's a...human thing. XD)
Sorry, I know I'm not admin, and you don't HAVE to add them, I'm just trying to be helpful *shrinks and tries to look small*

Why not dark? Dark and Light wolves are the best part. My wolf, ShadowFire, is half dark, because of her bad experiances.
I do agree with the No godmoding and no perfect characters, but not with the No dark, demonic, goth wolves. I believe you should be able to be half one of those three and half normal, at the most.

Wolves are pretty neutral. they don't kill unless for a reason... In PW, 'dark' means mysterious, trying to avoid being noticed... stuff like that. And I'll add the rules you pointed out, Saphire. thanks!

Well, dark as in (pretending meh nice Sapphie is dark)
'Sapphire darted around, eyeing everything critically, and nastily. Her foul attitude seemed to cloud the atmosphere and she snapped at squirrels that didn't stay out of her way, and finally came to the dark cave. Ah, how nice it was to be at the dark, demonic, evil, foul cave...like her black-coal-for-a-heart. Sapphire let out a small cackling laugh. Being evil was fun.'
Something like that. And by mysterious, like weirdly, freakishly, mysterious. Not keep-to-self mysterious. And, your character aren't dark. Dark are like evil, constant foul-attitude, and without a reason whatsoever (why we have History). Or, at least I think that's what StormEcho was trying to say... *shrugs* You gotta ask her.

Well, what we mean is that Onyx usually has wolves who like to keep to themselves, aren't friendly on some occasions, and they could play pranks if you want. And I think it's okay to have wolves who like pain, dark and things like that. What do you think Strom? Oh yeah...
Rowan is mainly the good one of the wolf packs. So they liek to help and be social. Onyx is more dark and mysterious. See long mssage. SunClaw is more friendly and likes running and chasing. So they are pretty athletic. Besides, the leader is pretty fun and so that makes the Clan fun and outgoing. Tropica is more of a tropical place and they are pretty fun. There are many types or birds, including tucans, parrots and lovebirds. Any bird, except birds opf prey(ie. hawk, eagle) can join if the leader lets them. Keen-eye is more tougher. They prefer to be with birds or prey, or of their kind, so don't be surprised if you don't get in and you're a raven.

Well...I still don't find it natural for wolves to like decay and death, and I still find it a more of human thing, especially considering the fact that in-the-wild-wolves don't have time to think about anything else but survival, because that's the Golden Rule of the Wild.
And, maybe if you're going to 'categorize' wolves into certain types of packs, instead of letting their wolf join whatever, tell them on their profile (when they're accepted) what pack they're going to go to.
And if EVERY wolf is evil in Onyx, then they won't want to hunt, or be social, and it would rather end up like a Loner Land, wouldn't it? Just a thought.

Yeah, it would be like that. Onyx isn't evil, just misunderstood... The wolves have to survive, don't they? And if someone like Saphire joins, it'll be a bit happier...
