--> There is no requirement for activity, but it is highly appreciated when members log in once a day if not only to say hello and goodbye. There is no minimum post limit per week, however, it is encouraged that you show at least some signs of activity by logging in, so that we don't think you've left us.

--> High positions must be active. Please be prepared to give an effort to be active when making the choice of creating a character with a high position, such as leader, deputy, medicine cat, or medicine cat apprentice. We understand that even the greatest roleplayer has his or her off-muse days, but we will expect you to always give your best effort to be active and to reply to important threads. If you create a character but just can't find the muse to reply to important threads, and are slowing us down in the site-wide plots, then we may ask you to find a way to kill off your character, retire your character of their position, or to give up your character for adoption.

--> Users with characters of high positions will be stripped of their rank if they have not logged in for over two weeks and have not posted in the absence board! if you post in the absence board, but find yourself unable to reply to an important thread for a month, we may ask you to give up your high position in favor of a more active roleplayer in order to keep the site plot moving. If no roleplaying has commenced since the creation of an inactive high position's character, then that character may simply become a warrior again.

--> All new accounts that do not make 1 post in 2 weeks will be deleted. This is simply to avoid spam accounts.

--> There is no limit on how many characters you create, however we expect you to be prepared to handle them all and keep every one of them active.

--> Each person may only roleplay a maximum of 1 Leader/Deputy and 1 Medicine Cat/Med. Cat Apprentice. Few exceptions may exist, but only in the rarest occasions with permission from the majority of the staff members.

-->To audition for a high position, simple create your character. Anyone else who wishes to audition may also audition, and the staff will decide who gets it. Other than that, we go by first-come-first-serve, expecting that you are prepared to be more involved than with just a normally ranked character.

--> Please mark finished threads as [FINISHED] when the thread is finished so that a staff member may move it to the archives.

--> No auto-hitting other characters in a fight. You may attempt the attack, but the other character decides whether they are hit or not. Dodging every single attack that comes at your character is heavily frowned upon, and may be considered god-modding, unless you have a good reason for it, and have said so through roleplay. Receiving no damage from an attack that hits is straight out god-modding.
