I know nobody likes the rules, but you know we gotta have 'em.
General
NO POWERPLAYING OR GODMODDING
You must be 13 years or older to join Chaos Freeze as this is the ProBoards rule, which you must acknowledge when creating an account. If we find out that you are under the age requirement we will be forced to ban you from Chaos Freeze or risk our forum being deleted.
Please be respectful of everybody in the forums and cbox. We will not tolerate members threatening, purposely insulting, or making racist, sexist, or religious remarks. This forum is for fun and we want it to stay that way.
No spamming! Repeated unrelated posts that do not add to the thread or conversation will be deleted. If our warnings about spamming are ignored you will be deleted.
Accounts inactive for 3 months without posting your absence in the appropriate thread will be removed. The characters under the deleted account will be killed off. Please take the time to inform us if you will be away for an extended amount of time. If you have unexpected circumstances arise please contact the staff.
Please avoid chat speak. This is a sem-literate to a literate forum and we expect proper English to be used. You may use chat speak in the c-box in moderation.
Do not stretch the forum with signatures, please use an appropriate size.
All rules within this thread apply to your signatures. You will be warned about any offensive material within the signature.
We are a fairly laid back group, however, if you consistently break the rules mentioned and ignore the staff warnings you very well may be banned from the forum.
Do not steal someone’s character, ideas, images, post formats, etc. If you believe somebody has taken something you have used or posted on CF please contact staff.
Act mature! We are too busy to deal with tantrums like toddlers. If you have an issue or upset that you can’t deal with via PM (and not on open forum for all to be in your private business) feel free to PM a staff member. As long as you act mature and don’t whine about it and make idle threats we will be more than happy to assist you as best we can.
Keep personal issues out of the forum and Cbox. Use PMs.
Applying
If unable to complete your biography please either save it to your computer or make a note in the title that you are not done yet. (i.e. Dog’s Name – Not Compete).
Please do not begin to roleplay your character until your character has been accepted. Character biographies are generally replied to within 24 hours.
Registered members are welcome to participate in the OOC boards prior to their acceptance.
Make an effort to be descriptive when applying. Profiles should not only meet the minimum requirements when applying with a character, but should be descriptive and detailed. When reading a profile we should be able to envision the character’s looks and how they act.
There is no such thing as perfect. Please do not make a “perfect” character as quite frankly they become annoying and others end up not wanting to RP with them. Everybody/everything has flaws.
New members must post their first biography within 7 days or they will be emailed a reminder. If they feel to post within 14 days their account will be deleted unless a note is mentioned in the Holiday Schedule thread stating you will be away.
Posting
Please try your hardest to push your creativity in your posts. A single sentence or two is not advised. We urge members to strive to post detailed, creative posts with a minimum of a paragraph.
You do not have to post in order in threads as some times others won’t be online for a few days and it will hold a thread up. Attempt to not leave other characters behind when they’re vital to the thread.
Please be sure to definitively show thoughts, speech, and actions. Generally thoughts and speech are in a different color from actions. Most italicize thought, some bold their speech.
Please be sure to mark a thread if it is open to only certain characters. For instance, if I only wanted a character named Joe to enter the new thread I made I would title it as so: New Thread [Joe]. If a thread title does not have certain characters within the title it will be assumed that it is an open thread and all may participate.
Wolves are allowed to travel upon any land. However, be aware of what’s happening in the plots around you! If you go upon enemy lands it’s possible your character could get killed or severely injured. Also note that rogues and loners may not always be welcome with open paws.
Liquid time is allowed (a character being in multiple threads at once). However there is a three (3) thread limit. Mandatory threads (such as the plot-twist) are not counted towards the three thread limit.
Character
You can have as many as allowed by your forum rank, depicted by the number of stars by your name.
Characters are considered pups until they reach a year old. Wolves between 1 and 3 years are considered juveniles. Wolves reach maturity at 3 years of age.
Feel free to create characters with unusual colors, markings, patterns, accessories, etc. Again, we support creativity.
Please remember that litter-mates are the same age. Communicate with the players of your litter-mates to make sure that all of the pups age at the same time.
Code word is twister.
Pups born to the characters on Chaos Freeze begin life at 2 months old. This allows the people playing them to do just that, use them other than saying “puppy rolled over, puppy ate, puppy slept, puppy pooped”…you get the idea.
Breeding
NO GRAPHIC BREEDING. PG-13 ONLY…remember that proboards is a PG13 site. Your post will be deleted without warning, and your breeding will have never taken place.
Force breeding is allowed with the permission of the female’s player.(PM)
Wolves must be 3 years of age in order to breed successfully.
Females must carry the litter for 2 weeks real time, can carry longer if details still need to be made.
As of now there is no season restriction for mating an having puppies.
Females must wait 6 real time months before mating again. If force bred the chances are she will not become impregnated.
Please be sure to post the breeding in a thread before requesting puppies.
Before you have the ability to play your new pup(s) a biography must be created for the puppy just as with any new character.
Please note that the amount of pups, and genders that you get is determined by staff. A dice is rolled to receive the number of pups. When the female is force bred the number to show up on the dice is halved (i.e. dice rolls a 4, she gets two pups, or if it rolls a 1 she doesn’t get pregnant).
Fighting
Remember you are not invincible! You must take hits!
No godmodding or powerplayng. If you did either you automatically the loser.
Staff determines who will win the fight if it is undetermined by the players, if they cannot decide who won, or if it is over a “prize”.
Quality is more important than quantity when determining the winner. Grammar, description, and spelling are what is considered.
The number of hits and dodges allowed should be set by the players. Please make the very first line in the first post the agreed upon dodge/hit number in bold capital letters.
The second person should mark that they agreed to the numbers in their first post.
If you wish to challenge an alpha for their position please contact Soul for permission.
If challenging for lands/leadership those lands may not be challenged again for 4 real time weeks.
CBOX
All forum rules apply in the Cbox. The only rule that does not apply is chat speak is allowed (please do not overdo it).
Do not impersonate another member in the CBOX. We do have access to ISPs and if you are accused of this we will investigate.
Please contact staff if you believe something should be added, changed, or if you have any questions. Thank You.
