RULES xox
General xoxo
- We are all awesome! This means no discrimination of race, gender, color or religion. Be awesome.
- Don't spam or flame. This means no double posting, unless you have a good reason, such as you post an unfinished post and you are posting to say you are done. Otherwise use the modify button. And DON'T POST IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE YOU ARE ANGRY RAGE MONSTER. It looks ugly, is rude and is just plain immature. Show your maturity and act like civilized human beings.
- One account per member. NOT one account per character. This is a simple rule to follow.
- 200 word minimum. It is not hard to reach this, and we encourage you to post more! At least try to post somewhat close to the person who posted before you, as that is respectful.
- Swearing is only tolerated IN character. Not OOC swearing, because that is rude.
- All images must be no wider than 550 px and no taller than 350 px.
Character xoxo
- Check taken names before you post your character so we have no name double ups. Simple stuff people.
- There is no character limit, however please keep every character you make active. If this means you only make 2 characters, only make to characters, and make them ACTIVE.
- No comes the tricky part, deciding which region for your character. You can pick one that you like, or you can have the staff choose for you or you can have the staff use a random number to find you a region.
- Try and keep guys and girls even. There is an up to date character count in the updates section of the side boxes.
- There is no limit to how many horses a character can own. HOWEVER, all horses must be looked after properly and ridden regularly so keep it reasonable.
- Fill out the form completely otherwise you will be declined. Post WIP or Not Done somewhere in an unfinished bio so that it is not deleted by staff. When accessing the creation boards use the word aussie.
Points and Coins xoxo
What are they and how do I use them? Coins are the everyday currency of PI, and can be used to buy things for you and your characters. Points must be purchased using coins or won in contests. Point are used to create horses. This prevents people from making millions of characters right at the start and encourages activity. While characters do not need a horse at first, to compete in shows they must have their own horse, so points become very important. For each character you also get 1 point and as a new member you get 2 free points. For more information, see the help thread.
Stables and Owning them xoxo
- Your character MUST be part of a stable. They need somewhere to keep their horses and somewhere to train don't they?
- If you wish to own a stable, you have to have been an active member for 1 month and fill out the form in the stable owner's registration board.
- Only ONE character per person may own a stable, this encourages less, but bigger stables.
- You do not haf to own a stable, it is optional. Owning a stable is hard work, so make sure you are up for the job before you sign up. For more information on owning a stable, see the stable owner's guide.
- If your stable is not updated then it will be removed and all the residents will be transfered. You will need to prove your activity again before you can apply for a stable again. We don't want hundreds of inactive stables to clog up the boards!
- To transfer stables please PM me or a staff member and we will arrange for you to move. HOWEVER you cannot change regions.
