Welcome to Escape Right After or ERA for short! If your here reading this then that means you're interested. That means a lot to us! Now we don't have that many rules and we're not too strict. If you have any questions, you can either contact someone in the cbox or post a thread in the Questions board located in the Suggestions and Questions main board.
MAIN RULES YOU SHOULD LOOK AT
- Our most important rule that everyone should follow is to respect everyone in the site if that is other members, guests, or staff. We won't tolerate any kind of harassment or bullying. So please, let us all be mature and treat each other with kindness and no drama.
- We do allow chatspeak but keep in mind not to go overboard with it. We do allow, brb, omg, etc, but we do not accept r or u, even 2 in replace of the word to/too, etc.
- First off, this is a PG-13 rating site. What this means is our site will have a certain amount of violence, swearing, mating in role-play. You must be 13 years old or older to join.
- Swearing in character and out of character is allowed but please do not go overboard with it. This means if we find you are swearing at another member in a rude or mean way we will pm you a warning. However, if you ever do it again you will be banned from the site. (As the owner of this site I wouldn't want to do that so please don't test me.)
- We are a one account per member site.
CREATING CHARACTERS
- There is absolutely no character limit. You can create as many characters you think you can handle.
- This is a feral canine RPG, but you can only create dogs (all breeds of dogs are allowed except for wild dogs) for free. Wolves, foxes, wild dogs, any canine hybrid and other canines are to be bought from the store.
- ERA is based in the great prison, Tartaros. All canines must've been either captured by humans at some point in their lives or born inside the prison.
- Pregnant canines are not allowed to be made, unless bought from the store.
- You can make a pup but be aware that it must be four months or older. If you truly wish to make a pup younger than four months you must purchase it from the store.
- Be aware that second or more generation of the altered canine will have a single ability from either their mother or father.
- Humans have captured and altered canines' genetics; it is not physical altercations like wings or lizard tongue. Canines have gained abilities, only one ability per character. You can however, purchase a cheat to have one more for a single character. However, already made or accepted characters cannot be given another ability. You cannot give a third ability to a character. Acceptable abilities are in the Character Creation board.
- This site is a semi-realistic RPG so no unnatural fur color or eye color. (Unusual eye color can be purchased.)
- Disabled characters and characters of any sexuality are allowed 100%. There is no limitation.
IN CHARACTER
- The word limit is 100 words. Simple yes?
- If more than two members are rping in a thread, we expect everyone to take turns from the right order. This way everyone gets a fair chance to reply.
- Absolutely no power-playing and/or godmodding.
- Breeding is allowed but to a certain extent. No heavy violence or graphic detail and the title of the thread must have [M] for mature if you are planning on breeding. Rape is allowed, but must be discussed with the other member who it may concern, the same goes for typical breeding.
- We accept all types of writing, third person, first person, etc. (I do not believe it is fair for sites to place rules as third person only.)
- Liquid time is allowed and there is no limit. We expect you to know your own limits.
PACKS AND TERRITORY CLAIMING RULES
- You can only make one pack period.
- You have absolute freedom with your pack. The rules, hierarchy, joining form, etc is all up to you. Alphas do not have to be partnered with their mates and the mate doesn't have to be an alpha if they do not wish to. Alphas also do not need to have a partner if they don't wish to.
- You can only have three high ranks, no more than that. (Includes Alpha, Beta, or any head of rank, however you are only allowed to have one Alpha. This way everyone gets a chance to have an Alpha. If you truly want another Alpha or have a second pack you will need to purchase it in store.)
- Roaming packs are allowed in this site but characters are limited to ten due to the fact packs can't thrive without territory. Packs with territory have no character limit! Therefore, if you are a roaming pack and reached a max of ten characters we suggest you claim a territory. Once two or more members - excluding yourself - put in their character to join your pack (must be in character) you are then able to claim a Pack Sub-Board to make it official.
- A pack can only claim up to three territories, no more than that unless you purchased the extension.
- Not all IC boards are claimable. All IC boards have either unclaimed territory and nonclaimable in bold and keep in mind sub-boards would be located in nonclaimable boards. Most of these sub-boards are claimable.
- To claim a territory you must post a thread with your character in the board of interest. There is no extra word limit but we do expect you to post your character exploring the area and marking the territory. The thread must have CLAIM in the title. The claim thread will be left for three days and if no one replies to it to challenge your character that territory is yours. However, if another member does reply to it and challenges your character you both will be expected to fight for the territory. The character with the most wounds loses and the winner claims the territory. The winner is NOT allowed to kill off the loser unless given permission from its owner.
- Once a territory is claimed, it is given one month of immunity. This means that another pack cannot try to steal your territory until the immunity is expired. The immunity can also be purchased in store.
CONGRATS! YOU READ ALL THE RULES!
