BEFORE YOU BEGIN ROLEPLAYING
-Please make sure you have read all the rules/information about the Weyr and history of the game before you submit a character for approval. Once you feel you have an understanding of how this site works, feel free to fill out a template with your character's information and post your Character in the Pending forum. DO NOT post anywhere with a character before they have been accepted. This includes if you have already had one character accepted, and decide to post another one as well. You will be asked to read the rules again, and your post will be deleted.
-Stealing is not going to be tolerated, and anyone found stealing from another site/person will face serious consequences.
POSTING RULES:
-There are no posting requirements, however if we see a post that is obviously too short to reply to, you will be asked to edit it. Posts should be long enough to cover everything, and short enough to keep our interest.
- Rankers must be posted once a week, unless you PM an Admin with an LOA. If you are found neglecting your rankers, you will be warned the first time, then put on probation the second time, and then they may be taken away the third time, where they will either be put up for adoption or removed from the site, depending on whether or not they were hatched here. Taking away character's isn't fun, and neither is losing them. This shouldn't be a problem on the site.
- Any member who joins with a Goldrider, or Gold Wherhandler, after today, Oct 23, will be put on a month long probation. Though, if said member has a leave of absense for more than three days, this will not affect them.
This is to ensure that Goldriders, or Gold Wherhandlers, are given to members that can prove that they will be active. Though we do know that RL has a way of rearing it's ugly head from time to time. If you know you'll be gone for any length of time, LET US KNOW. And if you suddenly disappear, please try to get a hold of us and let us know.
OUT OF CHARACTER
- Watch your language and don't get carried away with swearing in ooc posts. If being a potty mouth becomes a problem, you will get a warning. Three strikes, you're out. Occasional language won't get you a warning, but if you're dropping swear words every other sentence, be prepared to receive some warnings.
- Never direct any swear words at another person. Nothing kills a forum like drama, and you will be warned, suspended, or banned depending on your offense.
- No godmodding or power playing, period. If I hear any complaints of this, there will be serious consequences, UNLESS you have been given permission. This includes making your character invulnerable to weaknesses, injuring another character without permission, or controlling another person's character in any way without permission.
IN CHARACTER:
- Naroa Weyr is a literate role play, and we require all posts to be in third person. Such as: Sarah went to the store. Not: I went to the store.
- This is a mature forum. Stop before the fact or fade to black. Our Rating is PG13. Though everyone needs to keep in mind that mature contest is a fact of life on Pern, so expect it.
CHARACTER RULES:
- Characters must be approved by an admin before they are allowed to be rped.
- Generally, there aren't many restrictions on appearance, but please we don't want to see any red eyes with the exception of an albino character. And Albinos will be RARE!
- Candidates are not allowed to have deformities, such as missing limbs, being blind, or deaf. Simply because a dragon would not survive if they were deformed, and they wouldn't pick a deformed rider if they had the option of having a healthy one.
- Limits may be put on twins/albinos if we see too many of them, right now, there are no restrictions.
CHARACTER LIMITS:
Any member may have up to six Characters. Character slots may be bought from the Store. If you have a special request, please ask an Admin.
HATCHINGS:
-NEVER ask a staff member for a certain color of dragon, hint at the color of dragon you would like, or flat out say, "Don't give me this color of dragon." Or else you won't be very happy with the dragon color you do get.
-Please don't whine if you don't impress at a hatching. It makes you even less likely to impress at the next one. Not everyone impresses the first time through, but your name goes up to the top of the list, and you're almost guaranteed to impress the second time around.
-If your character has already impressed to a Dragon or Wher you may NOT have your character try to impress to another impressionable creature, besides Firelizards. Dragon, especially the young ones, and Whers, will require their bonded's time caring for them.
Meaning: (examples)
Lathero cannot impress to a Wher, she had impressed a dragon.
Anatel cannoth impress to a Dragon, she had impressed to a Wher.

**NOTE: BREAK ANY OF THESE RULES THE FIRST TIME, YOU GET A WARNING. BREAK THEM A SECOND TIME, AND YOU WILL BE DELETED FROM THE CLUB. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.**

Lets say that Kazzah joins with the Weyrwoman Second, or GoldHandler, on Oct 25, her month will end on November 25th. Now lets say that Kazzah has to take a week of LOA for RL. So then, her probation will end on December 2nd, to allow for the week she wasn't able to be post.
