Final Destiny Rules

I know, rules suck, but if we didn't have them this game would turn into a wreck. Anyways, make sure you read them carefully.
3 of these(***)means that I will not tolerate that rule to be broken, and will normally result in you getting kicked off of the game.



General

1) No bad language, or anything else mean or hateful.***
2) No power-playing!
3) Stay active! Check the Green Meadow forum often for activeness tests.
4) Be kind to other players.***
5) Have Fun!!!

Territories (TT's)

1) After you join, you must join a TT.
2) If you wish to make you own, it must include a forum, current members of herd, herd leader and ranks, and which side your TT is on (Light or Dark)Email me the URL and the herd leader to Pawz611@hotmail.com.
3) Respect your herd leaders.
4) Fights may be started in TT's but breeding is not allowed.

Sneaking

1) All sneaking is done on the Sneaking Prairie board.
2) It should take two posts to sneak, each 24 hours apart.
3) to stop a sneak, you need to respond to that first post before a second post is added.
4) A particular horse may be snuck any number of times.
5) You may only sneak mares. Or if they have a foal you can sneak the mare and foal or just the foal. But no sneaking a mare and leaving a foal behind. Only sneak one adult mare at a time.

Breeding

1) No graphic breeding or links to gross pictures and sites.***
2) Only one choosen horse may breed to a snuck horse, and the snuck horse does not have to agree.
3) No breeding to already pregnant mares.
4) If you are breeding to a horse that has not been snuck in, both the mare and the stallion must agree to have a foal, and must agree on the foals stats, ect.

Having a Foal

1) No graphic foaling.***
2) A foal takes 3 Real Weeks to be born.
3) After a foal is born, the parents must take him/her to the Joining board and present his/her stats to be registered.
4) Be a good Mother.

Fighting, Battling, and Challenging

1) These 3 things may be done wherever, but a formal place to do it is Battle Ledge.
2) You may not kill your opponent without their permission.
3) When fighting, instead of saying "He kicked her in the stomach" say "He kicked at her stomach" and the player of your opponent will choose whether it hit him/her of not. You cannot dodge a kick every time or even most of the time. I will not allow this.

If You Will Be Inactive...

1) If you are going to be inactive post on either Dark Creek (if you are Dark) or Rainbow Stream (if you are Light). Say you will be gone for X amount of names and I will put you on the "gone" board.
2) If you are busy with school work, then post you will be inactive on certain days, for example, if you are going to be active only on weekends.
3) If you wish to quit the game post it there too. PLEASE DO NOT JUST GET INACTIVE!!!!!!!!!!

Aging

1) All adult horses will have a birthday on the same day.
2) An adult horse is 2 years and up.
3) Adult horses Age 1 year in 3 months, no exceptions. Please don't argue, this is just to keep it simple.
4) The first birthday will be held on whatever date the FD (Final Destiny) weekly newspaper specifies it on. So check it out.
5) If you you join the game one day before the B-day you will be turning 1 yr. older anyway. So be aware when you join to make your character 1 yr younger than you want him/her when you join that close to the birthday.
6) Foals age quicker than adult horses. They age 1 yr in 1 month. Again no exceptions. There might be a article 'bout the foals aging in the FD Weekly to see if this rule needs to get changed.
7) Once the foal has his/her second B-day they are an adult and will age as one.
8) Horses will automatically die of old age at 30yrs (I know it's a stretch, but hey, it's a game) unless you make them die before then.
9) When your horse reaches the age of thirty, he/she will be put on the graveyard page and you can have a funeral, ect.
10) When I put a horse on the graveyard page, I will put 'In Loving Memory Of so and so' if you would like tell either the current Light or Dark leader to put something else by the horses name.

Play Dis Song!!!

General Horse Info:

Are you new to the 'world of horses'. Well if you are, try not to get lost in the horse jargon that may go on around here. Learn some of it, so you can have fun playing the game without worrying what the other person said.

***Horse Heights~~~ Horses are measured in hands. A hand is approximately 4 inces, or the width of a normal human's hand. (Hence the name *Hand*). A normal size for a HORSE is between 14.3 hands- 17 hands. Yes, some draft horses do get taller than 17 hands, but let's stay away fron such numbers. The normal size for a PONY is between 10 hands (rarely seen) - 14.2 hands. Any thing below 10 hands is considered a minature horse. They are measured in inches.

*** Horse Breeds~~~ In RPG games, the most common breed of horses are thoroughbreds, arabians, quarter horses, and paints. Although any type of horse may be included.

*** Horse Colors~~~ Horses usually come in brown, bay (black mane and tail with black points), chestnut (reddish brown), black, grey (can go from very light, almost white, through steel grey), dun (sandy brown), palomino (golden brown w/ cream mane and tail), and dappled grey. Paint horses have large spots and come in two variations, piebald (black and white spots) and skewbald (brown and white spots).

Hope this helps you understand!!!
