Character Creation
DO NOT ROLEPLAY WITH YOUR CHARACTER UNTIL IT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED. Once your character is accepted you will find it in the appropriate sub-board in character creation. Staff get on all the time, so don't worry, we won't keep you waiting!
There is no character limit here BUT try not to make more than you can actively RP ( at least 1 post every 15 days or so). If we noticed one of your characters never gets used we may ask you to adopt/freeze/kill off said character just to allow names to be used again etc. There will be some lee way with this.
If we need to post a "generals" about breed heights, colors, etc. we will, but keep all things within realistic realms. No purple horses, no 18 hh Morgans and QH's, things like that. Remember, that height increments for horses go 15 hh, 15.1 hh, 15.2hh, 15.3 hh and then 16 hh. They are in increments of 4....s, no 15.4 hh horses, after the .3 it goes straight to the next hand high.
We will have a list of taken names posted; please refer to it before you make a character
We are not accepting Mini's, Mules, Donkeys, or Zebras right now. As with most things, if the demand is there we may lift this, but for now, ponies and horses only. (No, a mini does not count as a pony, sorry.)
We are allowing some out of the ordinary eye colors, like grey and green, but not red or purple type stuff. Try to stay within the realm of possibility. So, brown, hazel, grey, blue, black, green, are okay.
Posting Rules
We really love to see everyone's amazing writing skills, so we have a word count minimum of 150 words. MORE IS ALWAYS WELCOME
Really no other rules as far as posts in general.
Claiming Mares
Mares are free to say no. We really don't want a lot of stealing and rape but, of course, we do have demonic horses here. If you want to role-play out a mare being stolen please check with the owner of the mare to see if that is something they would like to play out.
Fillies must be at least two years of age before they can be claimed.
Stallions must be at least two years of age before they can claim a mare.
Try to keep claiming in the Love Bird Lane board.
Breeding/Foals
Mares must have a mate or have had a mate in order to have a foal.
Stallions cannot breed until they are two years old.
Mares cannot have a foal until they are at least 2 years of age
There is a breeding/foal sub-board. There is no graphic breeding to be played out here unless it is done via PM. You will find your mate, and either go to RP'ing or go post stats in the foal creation board. A simple, "and they went off alone," is what we're looking for here. Once you've posted your stats, a staff member will create your foal.
Terra Claiming
If the terra is unclaimed, simply post in that terra, calling the King, saying you are claiming the land. We will wait a day, and if no one else makes a bid, it is yours.
If someone else makes a bid, you will have to fight for that terra. Refer below to fighting.
If the terra you desire has already been claimed, you can challenge for it. It will involve a fight, unless the already lead stallion is willing to just hand it over. . . An unlikely scenario. See fighting rules below.
Fighting
There are two instances in which fighting is allowed to occur on Piume. The fight over a mare, which would happen if said mare can't decide who she wants to spend her life with, and wishes her suitors to battle it out. The other, being the fight over land. (Mares can fight for land, as well.)
In the fighting process you will post three offence moves, and two defense moves. . . Meaning one of your opponent's offences must to make contact with your equine's body.
No power playing. Your horse does not have super stealth and super strength. They will get hurt during the fight. You can't put words in another player's post, so no, "Stormy kicked at Flame's shoulder and broke the bone there," It needs to play more like, "Stormy kicked at Flame's shoulder with enough force to break the bone, he hoped he would." Make sense? You can't decide where your kick lands or what damage it causes.
After your three offences and two defenses, the staff members will discuss the battle and decide who wins. If you lose, take it gracefully please.
ALL EDITS TO THE RP RULES FROM THE SITE OPENING AND AFTER WILL BE MADE IN RED. WE WILL ANNOUNCE WHEN A RULE CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE, BUT CHECK BACK HERE EVERY SO OFTEN.
