1) bigotry and harassment will not be tolerated.
- every player and character’s gender, race, pronouns, sexuality, and religion will be respected at all times. please come to a moderator or helper if you are being harrassed by someone. if you are having a rough day, feel free to post in the vent channel but do not take it out on other players.
- unless there is a previously stated reason for inactivity, we need all players to be somewhat active. going on hiatus is fine and we understand life happens - we never expect you to put this server before anything else. but, if you are so busy that you can’t have more than one cat or a high rank… then don’t make a high rank or more than one cat. respect your own limitations. monthly activity checks are held in announcements.
- if it is found that many of your characters are inactive [3+ weeks without a post], they will be deleted from the allegiances and the roles to make space for other characters.
- while we do appreciate any creative liberties taken during character creation, please be sure that they don’t go against any creation rules found in the application. if you have any questions regarding realism, let us know - but as long as you don’t do the obvious [ex. purple eyes, wings, rainbow fur] then you should be fine!
- heterochromia, polydactyl, curled ears, blue eyes, bobbed tails, and curly fur are allowed. cats not born blind and hard of hearing cats are allowed.
- mutations not allowed through application: dwarfism (WHY), chimera (DMAB torties), albinism (WHY), folded ears (WHY), hairless cats, cats with two faces, cats that have extra body parts (other than toes), and cats born blind. you can ask for clarification as well if something isn’t on here!
- this adds an element of surprise for characters who happen to get pregnant! there can be up to four kits by default in a litter, but this can be increased with the purchase of an increased range of size. health, size, and appearance are rolled for and if one of the parent’s phenotypes is a recessive gene, then the kit has a chance of receiving that as well!
- descriptions of violence & gore are a given in a warrior cats roleplay - but anything overly sexual in nature shouldn’t be happening in the roleplay. not safe for work isn’t limited to things sexual in nature, however - this includes but is not limited to posting pictures or descriptions of gore or crude bodily functions in general chat.
- suggestive material and innuendos in roleplay are fine as long as they are marked with the appropriate warning. very explicitly NSFW jokes in general chat are disallowed. if you are unsure about what is NSFW and what is not, feel free to DM staff.
- please ask a moderator before requesting a litter. if you are approved, we will open the litter request channel. if the litter is a result of a forbidden relationship, you must ask both mods and your respective leaders. this is to avoid impulse litters, forbidden or not.
- the staff make mistakes too, and that is why we’re a team - to minimize any possible mistakes that may happen between us. it is never our intent to make any people uncomfortable, but it does happen - and in the case that it does happen, we’d like you to tell us so that we can fix it. our goal is to be as transparent and fair as possible when handling situations that may come up. and remember… just because the staff are friends doesn’t mean we’re afraid to call each other out.
- anything questionable in nature whether in roleplay or general chat should be checked by a moderator. remember, the rules don’t cover everything and it is impossible to cover everything here.
- if you would like to use the points system in your own roleplay, you must credit and ask both countmc#3482 and the Árdegi staff.
- if you would like to use the litter roll system, please credit the edge of dusk, a forum roleplay.
- once you are in the server, you are allowed to indirectly invite a friend to join. if you DM us we may temporarily open applications for your friend. but, nobody instantly gets an invite— friend or not.
- this is to avoid overwhelming both the staff and players. it’s also done to avoid overcrowding / clutter of biography channels and to save role space.
- while the server doesn’t deal with as many mature topics as some 18+ servers might, it still does handle topics such as grief, depression, death, etc. which may be heavy for younger children. players sixteen and older are also more likely [but definitely not guaranteed] to be more mature.
- users [who happen to be under sixteen] added before this rule will not be forced to leave.
- input the codeword in the appropriate section of the application.
