General

-- The first thing you should do, besides read the rules, is post your character's biographies.
-- All biographies must be placed within one thread.
-- Your bio(s) does not have to be accepted immediately. After you have posted it you may go ahead and start roleplaying, but if a staff members find a problem with it you must fix it. Failure to do so will result in the deletion of all posts, and possibly your account.
-- Try to be original with your canine, use your imagination to come up with a unique background.
-- If I find that you have gone into someone else's account without permission, I will not hesitate to ban.
-- No flooding or spamming
-- You may have any domestic breed of canine, but no canine of the wild.
-- Hybrids of wild canine and domestic are not allowed.
-- You may have as many characters as you wish, but you may only have one account.
-- All characters must be displayed in signature
-- Please do not have any signature pictures that stretch the forum dimensions, this also means do not have very tall pictures or many pictures at once.
-- The maximum dimensions of signature pictures is 500 x 300 pixels.
-- No god-moding or power-playing, if you don't know what these are, then pm the admin or post in the questions board.
-- Posts must be at least three lines after typing. I know it is hard to keep it sometimes: we all have writer's block. But we expect you to be literate.
-- If you use chat-speak in any post, in any board, that post will be deleted and you will be warned, then banned if you keep it up.
-- Swearing is allowed, but keep it down. If you swear excessively, I will ban without hesitation.
-- Don't talk OOC in IC boards, you are welcome to post in the chatter box board.
-- You are allowed to be in more than one place at a time, its up to you.

Gangs/Territories

-- There are two gangs. More may be added later.
-- Ranks are set in a form that is either given to, or created by the leader.
-- Alphas can be overthrown, you merely have to challenge them and win the fight.
-- If an alpha is challenged and loses the fight, the winner takes their spot as alpha. The mate of the former alpha may choose to either remain an alpha, or leave with their mate.
-- Treat high ranking members with respect, keep your head and tail down, and don't talk back. They have the power to kick you out of the pack.
-- If you want to join a pack, just start an IC thread within the pack's land, and ask to join.
-- Terras cannot be claimed. Period.

Fights

-- Don't come out of conflicts without cuts or bruises, its unrealistic.
-- Fights can be held anywhere.
-- Evading every attack and always being able to wound your opponent is almost the exact definition of power-playing, and will not be tolerated.
-- Try to be descriptive, don't just say "The dog cut the other dog." Try to use your imagination to add more. For example: "The dog lunged at its opponent, trying to use its sharp fangs to slice the other dog's flesh." See, that wasn't hard.
-- If you would like me to monitor a fight and judge who wins, feel free to pm me.
-- Fights can be held over anything.

Mating/Birthing

-- You are allowed to have a mate.
-- Mates can be found anywhere.
-- None of the 'Lady danced in waving her tail. She was sad and wanted a mate. She let out a howl hoping someone would come.' NONE OF THAT. That is absolutely unacceptable, and will not be toerated.
-- You are allowed to mate to produce hybrids, example: Siberian Husky x German Shepherd
-- Mating can be done anywhere, and is allowed to be graphic. But a warning must be in the title.
-- No 'pleasure breeding'. If you mate, you are going to have pups.
-- Force-breeding is not allowed.
-- Birthing may happen anywhere. 2-6 pups are born.
-- You may give birth anytime after mating.
-- Once the pups have been born, you must create their stats and place them in your bios thread. Please update them as they grow.
