1. Please be literate and role play fairly. This means using grammar and length in posts to the best of your abilities. It also means not post-cutting (submitting a post when the last person who posted had their post end with a mark of continuation, >> or -c-, which means they are still in the process of writing and flowing into their next post and to not cut them off), and establishing and following post order (making an order of who is going to post and when, like Max, then Tim, then Joe. Tim starts and finishes his post in between max and joe, they go in a circle.)
2. To reiterate: Establish post order when starting a session so everyone has equal opportunity to post, and do not cut off people who are still posting unless they have said it's okay. Wait to see a mark of completion at the end of their post ( -d- or <<) until you post, and make sure it is your turn in the post order. If you have trouble remembering post order, you can write it in your in game bio before each RP session.
3. Realism is required in appearance and also just the way your rabbit acts and their history. Realistic and genetically possible designs, no rabbits with powers or who consecutively demonstrate non rabbit behaviors, no rabbits who come from a different dimension or timeline that conflicts with realism standards. All users should have a normal sized (not exceeding Fowler by more than a few inches as he is around the height limit, but not being too tiny) genetically possible looking rabbit with a plausible upbringing.
4. Homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism isn't tolerated even if you're "just telling a joke" or "just sharing an opinion." You never know who you're saying that stuff to. This includes using slurs.
5. Avoid the discussion of triggering subjects like suicide and sexual abuse, or the joking of it especially. If you need to vent you can always do so in the venting channel of the discord or whisper Fowler.
6. Please do not go into detail about your sex life or anything, it's inappropriate and there could be minors participating here. We do allow the discussion of substance use but let's not go overboard and remember to stop if someone asks you to.
7. We reserve the right to kick you if you demonstrate a lack of maturity or passive aggression; just because you didn't up and front diss someone doesn't mean you're safe, don't be fkin rude dude. It's not like we get paid to deal with it!
8. No rank-begging, no attention-begging, no mate-begging. Do not base your character on becoming captain, do not base your character on collecting pity, and do not base your character on finding a love interest. You can be kicked for either.
9. Theft is not tolerated. Do not steal art, characters, etc. If you post a base or something and say "Credit to the original owner" it does count as theft and will result in the removal of the posted content, as that is not credit.
10. You may not create drama, plot-changing circumstances, etc without the permission of your peers and staff. Like no bringing in a predator or random attacks.
11. You may have three characters, they may not be of relation to each other to avoid potential attention seeking. You can gain more characters if you adopt them from open litters, family needs, etc so you have the potential to have several if you adopt.
12. No diagnosed mental disorders. Anxiety is allowed and so is using symptoms of disorders but we're not gonna go overboard here.
13. If engaging in a fight, use the "aiming and attempting" fighting style, no auto-hitting is tolerated. Aiming and attempting is saying your character tried to hit the other, but may or may not make it, giving the other person a window to respond. Auto-hitting, which isn't allowed, is saying you made the hit and you are causing damage to the character without permission or a window to respond. "He tried to bite her ear" vs "He bit into her ear and tore it."
14. YOUR CHARACTER. IS NOT FREE. OF CONSEQUENCE. YOUR CHARACTER CAN BE HURT. THEY CAN GET KICKED FROM THE WARREN. THEY CAN BE PUNISHED BY THE LAW. CHARACTERS! AREN'T FREE! OF CONSEQUENCE! If you wanna play an asshole rabbit that's fine, but they will get their tail kicked if they stick it to the chief, and the warren can kick them out.
15. In relation to the previous, your characters are not invincible; please do not role play them doing ninja tricks against a fox and saving the colony. Rabbits are fragile, frightful creatures who will get killed or injured easily. We are going to be realistic about that stuff. Having a perfectly invincible character is called "Mary-Suing" and after three instances of mary-suing, your character shall be killed off. You can create a new one and you can decide how they die, but they aren't going to continually survive and be strong, the RP will require you kill them off.
16. Time in the RP is 1 day in real life is three in game, but time skips may be done during plots or when kits are born. Rabbits in the RP live for around 7 years, with 1.5 being adult and 5-6 being elder. Do with that what you will. If time skips are done they will be announced, and you can request a time skip.
17. Staff reserve the right to intervene on issues if they take place in the RP; even if it's "just between you two", if it happens in our map or chat then staff are going to counsel you. If it's just with you two, bring it out of here.
18. You will be given a warning as a first strike, then a possible kick at the second, then a possible ban at the third strike. Three strikes and you're out. You will be directly informed if being given a strike.
19. If you see something, say something. We cannot fix what we don't see. Take a screenshot of the instance and DM it to Leda. Describe your side of the story and provide plenty of screens; there isn't too much to do without screenshots. Take a screenshot of the users character card as well (the info box that comes up when you double click them) in case it needs to be sent to FH staff.
20. Do not mini-mod or seek a mod rank. If leda needs help she'll PM ya or you can apply if auditions open. If you see an issue you can report it, but avoid taking it into your own hands.
21. Please listen to staff/Leda, they don't tell you stuff just for funsies; if you're being rude, breaking a rule, etc they're gonna tell you and if you wanna remain here you should listen. We don't care who started it.
