General Rules

[Kangatoo]

-> OOC Rules[/font]

• Before planning on joining, please remember to be active! We don't like to enjoy going through every little account deleting people who haven't even posted a bio yet. To make are job easier, don't be a dead weight. If your gone, your gone; no exceptions.
  
  
• Analog is rated PG-14. Meaning, its better if your above the age of thirteen to decide role-playing here. That also means mentally. Extreme violence, blood and gore, achohl and drug use, as well as sexual themes may be expressed or involved. If you think you can handle it, go right ahead. If not, don't sign up.
  
  
• This is a role-playing site, meaning spelling and grammar are an extreme must here. We try to add as many spell checks, word counts and live previews around the site for your need. Meaning, no chat speak what so ever, and excessive use of symbols. Time to learn.
  
  
• The maximum character's you can have is unlimited, for we follow a one account per player policy.
  
  
• As said before, try to keep your user name short and sweet. Something like " A!3$IA..!!" wouldn't be acceptable.
  
  
• Stealing is wrong, you dumb ass. We worked hard, thieves will be tried and hung.
  
  
• Signature size is limited to 400 by 500, for the sake of board stretching.
  
  
• Being active is a must, please try to post at least one post per two weeks. We know that writing moments come and go, so feel free to take long breaks in between. As long as you stay committed to Analog.
  
  
• Please don't use artwork that isn't your own. We take this very seriously right next to writing thieves. The stolen documents or artwork will be removed and you will automatically be frozen for a period of time. No exceptions.
  
  
• Don't be a dick to the moderator team. I pick nice people personally so fighting shouldn't be a problem. If a moderator steps out of line please inform me, the admin, personally. I will deal with the situation. Other then that, get along.
  
  
• If you have a problem with a specific person, report them. Simple. We'll be sure to handle all problems fairly. Don't take matters into your own hands, even though it may seem tempting.

- > In Character Rules[/font]

• Your character must be accepted before role-playing.
  
  
• No god mode is allowed. Taking control of another personals character is wrong, unless you have permission, and proof of said permission, from the player that has ownership over that character. Obviously stronger characters will have the upper hand, but major blows or wins should be discussed amoungest one another.
  
  
• Liquid time is allowed, but please keep track of all your posts. Don't get ahead of yourself.
  
  
• Limits aren't stressed. Be as graphic as you want. This is a realistic role-play.
  
  
• When replying to a thread, if your reply isn't right under the player your replying from; blockquote. Just don't get crazy. When dialect is involved, use " " like any other regular person.
  
  
• Be realistic with the setting. Analog may have just a small handful of non realistic themes, but we aim to be real as possible. If your character is part of a tribe, they won't know city life well, vice versa with packs. The only characters that might understand little would be house pets only. The rest wouldn't be expected to know whats going on with the governments affairs.
  
  
• Try not to swear a sewer storm in the OCC boards, but feel free during role-playing.
  
  
• For a character to fall in love, they must have at least two threads together.
  
  
• Breeding isn't as stressed here, as long as you agree with the player your role-playing with. Meaning, if they don't want it graphic, find a compromise. We're not soft core porn, so don't act like it. Semi-graphic breeding allowed.
  
  
• Homosexual and Bisexual behavior is allowed to a extent. These characters will be kept under a limit.
  
  
• Please message a mod regarding closing a thread. If no response has been written in a week, it will be moved to the archives.
  
  
• Do not kill another persons character without permission. No autohitting. This means that you may not harm another person's character without their permission or without giving them a chance to respond and try to dodge the attack.
  
  
• In character posts must be at least 100 words in length. This might be changed in the future.
  
  
• Character's may come into contact with alcohol and drugs. Though its not like they can inject heroine into there arm but licking up pills or " spilled liquid " is reasonable. Being addicted to these substances though, is okay but unlikely.
  
  

- > Character [/font]

• Certain species are obtained through the point system, such as wolves, hybrids, fox, coyote and more. Wolf dogs, ( wolf x dog) and Coy dogs ( coyote x dog ), are allowed but only in certain numbers. We will tell you when the population is too full.
  
  
• Types of accessories will be permitted, as long as it fits within limits. Those without question would be, collars, necklaces, rope, bandanna's, harnesses/leashes, ear tags and radio collar ( if feral species only ), chain, and chokers. But please explain were he or her has acquired those items.
  
  
• Size, colors, and markings should be realistic. No sparkle dogs damn it. Slightly odd colors are welcome only to a limit. As for markings, you may have them as long as they don't look insane.
  
  
• Filthy dogs live in the street, house pets are normally spic and span, unless told other wise. Try to put yourself in your characters paw, how hard it would be to find food, water, shelter and social needs in there surroundings.
  
  
• Average Ann's aren't welcome, characters who sound so perfect and strong; beautiful complexion and destined for greatness. We've heard that too many times. That also go for the ones that are hypocrites. A mean dog wouldn't be well with making friends, so don't put it that way.
  
  
• The setting is in the northern west part of America, so it would be normal for characters with Canadian accents. Just be sure to inform us how they got any accent they have.
  
  
• The lone pup story is lone, puppy's would be eaten up on the spot by cannibal dogs, wolves or birds of prey. So don't give us a sob story. If you are planning on a infant like character, be sure to put them along side a pack.
  
  
• Name's should be simple. Something like Gobi the astro dog or Snowflower is stupid, and will not be used. Human names are acceptable, such as Tim or John, foreign, and made up names as well.
