REGULATIONS

001. Be polite and courteous to all members of the site, and respect everyone no matter of character or role.

002. Do not blur the line between in-character and out-of-character. It's a fine line, and crossing it can cause a lot of unnecessary trouble and drama. If you have an issue, deal with it privately or ask a member of staff to help sort out the matter. Failure to deal with the matter respectfully will result in punishment all around.

003. Maturity. We do not tolerate childish, juvenile behaviour and bickering here. We are all adults, or close to it, I hope, so please act like it. Any childish behaviour will be pulled up and actions will ensue.

004. Activity. We do not require you to be on all day, every day. However, we do request that you pop on to check if you have a thread to reply to and to do so as soon as possible, to not keep other players waiting. Remember to keep track of your threads and when you need to reply. Any posts left waiting idle and unresponded after 2 weeks from the last post will be assumed 'inactive' and will be archived.

005. Disputes. Following on from the aforementioned In and Out of Character drama, we accept that there are times when conflict is inevitable and things may come to the point of an argument or fight. If it gets to this point then contact an Admin and we will find a way to resolve the situation if it is an IC or OOC matter.

006. Writing. All in-character posts must be written in third person and past tense. Ensure you proof-read your threads and have the correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation. We do not need posts filled with a lot of typos as it frustrated people and takes too much time to figure it out.

007. Posting. In order to let others know when they're next to reply in a thread tag them by @accounthere. You can also use our Discord group to tag them for more instantaneous response. We require that threads maintain a posting order in which each person within the thread responds in the order that they replied originally. If a person does not reply within two weeks, (7) days of the last post their turn will be skipped and the next poster will then take their go. If that person then wishes to jump back in, they may, and establish a new posting order.
- That being said, if the next person in response to the thread feels they have been waiting too long, they can speak to the person who is due to respond and the thread creator and see if a skip can be permitted in order to speed things along.

008. Raiding / Challenges. As we are a multi-pack roleplay we allow raiding between the established packs on the island, however, these must only be done once a 'Raid Request' has been submitted and the reasons and grounds for the raid assessed by Staff. If the circumstances are relevant then it will be held as an event where we can put other things on hold to allow the raids to happen as smoothly as possible.
Similarly, challenges for rank, position or other reasons may follow a similar method. The outcomes of raids and challenges may be predetermined on certain grounds or dice-rolls, however, some can just play out.

009. Death / Killing. Characters are likely to encounter death and killing of other characters on the site from time to time, it's part of life. However, we do not want people choosing to go and kill-off their characters if they no longer wish to use them, or to go around have had a killing spree; it's uncalled for.
Any needs for death or a killing of a character will have to be authorised by staff and the threads monitored. Death through injury from hunting or fighting is going to happen, but if two wolves have got 'beef' and a death-fight us to ensure staff will set up an area for this to occur. Just don't go and kill for the sake of it.

010. Breeding / Birthing. Permission to breed is only to be granted by the Leaders as over-population is something that we would try to avoid. Interspecies pairing is allowed, however, the production of offspring is restricted and special permissions will be required if interspecies couples wish to sire litters.

011. Factions. In order to create a faction of your own, there are requirements that need to be met; a number of 'followers', a predetermined area of land to start off territories as well as other things. See 'Faction Guide' for more information. 'Faction' is the relative term we use for any established congregation or unit of animals. We understand that naturally, felines are in 'Prides', canines are in 'Packs', and others move about in 'Flocks, Herds and Schools', but within Asperio they are all called Factions.

012. Word count. There is nothing worse than single-lined responses when you have written paragraphs. We push for members to try and make two decent paragraphs minimum per reply as much as they can. If you're struggling to bulk out your posts try describing the appearances of things, your character's surroundings, how they are feeling and reacting to the situation. We like to see our writers flourish here, so try and push your boundaries.

013. Aging, Time Scale & Seasons. When it comes to timescale and seasons, we pretty much keep it normal, in the sense of when it's Summer IRL, it'll be summer on Asperio, and when the year ends IRL, ir ends in RP also. That way it keeps things a bit smoother and people can keep track of when certain things like Summer/Winter solstice and other activities like tracking the moon for their roleplays also. The day-to-day ratio we will not control and allow members to control that themselves, meaning that they can have a thread that exists in a couple of hours of their character's time, however IRL it's taken 3 weeks to complete.

014. Registration. Once an account is registered on the site, the owner has 3 days to start their joining process and show progress, and enter the Discord to communicate with the rest of the members. Failure to do that will result in the account being deleted.
