    - Member Behaviour -


  • Be respectful to all the admins, they are your superiors. They have the right to ban you, delete you and have a good long spaz at you.

  • Do not start a fight with an admin, you will not win. Seriously. So don't start about how this and that isn't fair.

  • You must post in the Away board if you are going to be absent from the site.

  • Never take out any anger issues you may have on another member or admin. If you had a bad day, go outside, listen to some music and don't come online. Trust me, it makes things worse.

  • You may say d**n and crap, but we don't want swearing to go much further. There could be younger people on here you know.

  • It'd be real nice if you didn't prance around pming members and staff about your super cool new site. It is kind of irritating and puts pressure on people. We'll only allow that if the members are friends and you know they like what your sites about.

  • Don't be pushy, that gets annoying. Us admins especially don't like new members on us about replying to their bios. We'll accept your bio soon, ok? Don't get impatient.

  • You may be retarded in the cbox. Tis fun ^^

  • If you have to have an arguement with someone, do it through pms only. I don't want you to upset the other members. How? By yelling at each other in the cbox. I've seen it done only too many times.

  • Don't quit the site because of some arguement between you and another member. Think about how stupid that is. Be the bigger person and try to talk it out with them and maybe you can come to peace, if not, an admin will have to intervene and attempt to settle it.

  • Don't ever talk down to, make fun of, or tease another member just because they didn't know or realize something. It hurts and the admin team will be on you for that. We want a happy roleplaying community.

  • No religous jokes or crude humor, remember about the younger roleplayers online.

  • Members are to report rule breaking to an admin, don't take it into your own hands.

  • Please don't spam, ever. Stupid, Pointless, Annoying, Posts.

  • Follow these rules and you'll survive. Thanks for reading ^^

    - Roleplaying -


  • No Godmoding. This means making your character have stupid godly powers.
    Good: Flashthunder ran swiftly through the forest, eyes alit with excitement. He was known for being one of the fastest in the whole clan.
    Bad: Flashthunder suddenly turned into a Polar Bear and ran at Shadowdancer.

  • Please at least attempt to use good grammer, spelling and punctuation. Using SpellCheck is encouraged. I understand of course if you make some mistakes though. Everyone does.

  • No Powerplaying. This means that you can't make another persons character do something the roleplayer hasn't agreed to.
    Good: Shadowdancer made a sharp right turn, aiming to leap at Flashthunder's shoulder.
    Bad: Shadowdacer went straight at the tom with bared fangs. Shadowdancer bit down hard on Flashthunder's tail, severing it instantly. - The roleplayer of Flashthunder did not have a say in that.

  • Cats may not have graphic sexual relations or births. Keep in mind there are younger roleplayers here.
    Good: Mistedmoon opened her eyes and marveled at the beautiful wriggling kits she had just given birth to. Her mate stood at her side, eyes gleaming with pride and happiness. - Thats all we need to know.

  • I'd like it if your posts were at least a few paragraphs long. This site is literate, and We'd like to keep it that way.

  • Keep in mind which position your cat is in. If your cat is a mere Apprentice or something, they don't have control over the whole clan and can't do certain things, unless there is some plot that we have agreed to.

  • When in a thread with two or more people, please take turns posting. I know I hate it when people post way ahead of me.

  • Don't get discouraged if a character doesn't like your's in roleplay. Don't take it personally and like, ignore that person or something.

  • When roleplaying, we'd like it if you didn't use colours.

  • When roleplaying, we'd like it if you used bold to indicate speech and italics to indicate thoughts.
    Good: Flashthunder ran faster, eyes scanning the landscape ahead. "Hey Shadowdancer, how far is it?" He called to the sooty black cat. "Uhhh..." Shadowdancer began awkwardly. We're lost, I bet! Flashthunder thought in frustration.
    Bad: Flashthunder bounded a little faster, streaking past the dumbfounded Shadowdancer. "Shadowdancer!"He called with a goofy smug grin on his face.

  • Please don't use chatspeak in character (IC), it's really not very literate now is it?
    Good: Flashthunder merely avoided the fangs of Shadowdancer as he whipped around. "Aghhh!" Flashthunder crowed. dodging another blow from Shadowdancer's glittering pearl white canines.
    Bad: Flashthuner dived out of the way as Shadowdancer came at him. As his traitorous ex-friend slashed into nothing, Flashthunder lashed his paws upwards. He scored a huge line down Shadowdancer's belly. "OMG! I HATE U!" Shadowdancer yelled.

  • Cats do not know human swears.
    Bad: Shadowdancer went straight at Flashthunder. "Crap!" Flashthunder yelped, starting into a sprint. - Need I say more?

    When your cat is in combat with another, be fair. Your cat can't dodge every move, that would count as godmoding.
    Good: Shadowdancer dodged the second nip from the weary Flashthunder. Shadowdancer was so absorbed in him winning so far, that he didn't notice Flashthunder coming at him from below. As Flashthunder sunk his sharp teeth into his scruff, Shadowdancer was finally struck. He staggered away, blood running down his neck.
    Bad: Flashthunder leapt at Shadowdancer, trying to slam his paws down on the unsuspecting cat's head. Shadowdancer quickly dodged. Flashthunder then went back at Shadowdancer with teeth bared, aiming to strike the cat's leg. Again, Shadowdancer easily dodged the move. As Flashthunder came back for the millionth time, Shadowdancer merely flicked the cat away with one pawswipe. -See how Flashthunder never hits Shadowdancer even once?

  • Try to keep posting in out of character (OOC) to a limit. If you must, please do this: ((insert speech here)).

  • Thanks for reading ^^

    - Characters -


  • Your bio has to be accepted by an admin before you even think about roleplaying.

  • Overly exotic markings and odd jewlery are not permitted.
    Good: Black she cat with a white marking below each eye, a white stripe down their tail and bright blue eyes.
    Bad: Purple cat with swirly yellow markings and a necklace.

  • Check Clan Information to find the types of cats you may play. You may only play cats.

  • You may have as many clans and cats as you want.

  • Come up with original characters and names, I hate rip offs.

  • No godly powers for your cat.
    Good: A very fast runner
    Bad: Fire breathing cat, cat that can shoot spiderwebs ect.

  • Make sure that after you read these rules, go read the information threads also in the Rules board located just below this thread.

  • Thanks for reading ^^

Misc.

Cbox Rules

»Do not S.P.A.M. or Flood the Cbox. This means don't post more then three or four times in a row. It's stupid, pointless, and annoying.

»No advertising. Links in your name are allowed but don't say Click My Name! or anything like that. Links to pictures are fine, though.

»Do not argue. If arguments fill the cbox, you will be banned. If they continue, it will be removed.

»Do not impersonate others. I have the user name & password for the cbox, we can just compare I.P. addresses, the impersonator will be banned.

»Don't swear at staff members or other members. Be respectful to everyone, please. Espicaly if you have had previous warnings.

»Guests can post in the cbox if they are in need of assistance, but they must be repectful of everyone, no one likes a n00b.

»Ok, I know it's a Cbox and all; but let's face it. No one likes chat talk. So just use proper English, and save your breath.



»If you fail you follow any of the rules, it could result in you being banned from the cbox, or even the forum. So follow them all, please.

Thanks, COTC Staff.
