GENERAL RULES


▶ If you are kicked from the group due to inactivity we request you wait a minimum of one month before reapplying.
▶ Breaking rules will result in a strike, three and you are out.
▶ Do not spam the group.
▶ Keep ALL squabbles out of the group, and no fighting unless it pertains to a roleplay.
▶ In order to remain in the group you must submit a minimum of three deviation (drawn or written) to the group per 3 months (tweleve things per year).
▶ Please refrain from mini-modding on deviations or comments on the page. We ask that you leave the modding to those who are mods. If you are concerned about something in a comment or on a deviation, please note the group about it, rather than commenting/replying. Thank you!
▶ If you see something you think is breaking the rules, please contact the mods immediately rather than calling someone out publicly. Many of the things we deal with in CoTR are sensitive issues, and it is important that they are handled in a way that is professional and does not cause unnecessary discomfort between members. Public humiliation is not an effective form of problem-solving.  

CHARACTER RULES


▶ Fill out the character sheet according to the directions in the How to Join blog.

▶ No sparkle cats. Fur and markings are preferred to be as realistic as possible. Manes and hair tufts are to be kept at a reasonable size and length. Eyes must be of a realistic color for the species unless permission is given by an admin.

▶ No god modding, Mary Sues/Gary Stus, or unrealistic traits. Keep your character at a nice balance of strengths and weaknesses, positive and negative character traits, and stats.

▶ Members are allowed two characters (one male and one female) upon admission into the group. As you complete assignments and earn more of the currency and the respect of the mods you will be permitted to gain/purchase more characters. Members are allowed a MAXIMUM of six characters (three male and three female), while mods are allowed a MAXIMUM of ten (five male and five female). You can discuss with the founder if you want to have more of a certain gender.

▶ No applications should be left blank. WIPs (works in progress) are allowed, but an application should never be empty; kittens must have complete applications before being accepted, as seen in the Relationships blog. Accepted characters who are undergoing a revamp must retain information under all of the mandatory categories (personality, history, etc.), even if they are only from an older application. Any members found with incomplete or blank character sheets will be given a time frame within which to complete their application; if it is not completed within that time, or an extension is not requested, then the character will be considered dead.

▶ Heavily fandom associated characters will no longer be accepted into the group.

SUBMISSION RULES


▶ No stolen artwork will be allowed into the gallery. If you are caught trying to submit any, you will be banned without warning. Bases and linearts are not allowed (with the exception of the hypokit meme).

▶ Make sure you are submitting your work to the correct folder.

▶ Only submit finished artwork to the group. If you intend on keeping a picture as just a sketch, you may submit it.

CHAT/ROLEPLAY RULES


▶ Keep drama at an absolute minimum.

▶ Be polite to everyone and respect your fellow members and the mod team.

▶ If there is a roleplay going on, please join the chat being used as an OOC chat; if there is not one, then point a chat and mention in the main chat that it will be used for OOC.

▶ Please do not spam any roleplays with massive amounts of OOC.

▶ No spamming or advertising.

▶ No god modding or meta-gaming.

▶ No power-plays.

▶ If your character breaks any laws within the roleplay, you will not get in trouble; however, keep in mind that if your character is caught, they might be.

▶ Make sure you know the difference between in-game and real-life; if your character is insulted, that doesn't mean the other player is insulting you.

ENVIORNMENT GUIDELINES


▶ Your characters cannot leave the boundaries provided on the map.

▶ Do not create imaginary animals or mention mythical creatures.

WARRIOR CODE


▶ Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.

▶ Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.

▶ Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.

▶ Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.

▶ A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.

▶ Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.

▶ A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

▶ The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled.

▶ After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.

▶ A Gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time.

▶ Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.

▶ No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.

▶ The word of the Clan Leader is the warrior code.

▶ An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.

▶ A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.

▶ Each Clan has the right to be proud and independent, but in times of trouble they must forget their boundaries and fight side by side to protect the four. Each Clan must help the others so that no Clan will fall.

Are we allowed to join which ever clan we want or are we limited on the number of clans we can join?
