Please note, rules will be updated as needed by the Rah and Co-Rahs. Please remember to check back here, as the forum will hold the most recent updates. NO STAFF other than Aaralyn, Kari, or myself is to alter these rules at any time.
I will be updating the wording of these rules at a later date - preferably once I have shaken this awful cold. Until then, I'll take them straight from the website.
As a patron within a dream of Furcadia, certain things are expected of you, specific behaviors are anticipated, as well as general manners. In AKP, however, not only are Furcadia's Rules held with a iron fist, but so are her own set of rules. This page will clarify all rules set down by the Rah and will be enforced by Guardians.
OOC Area Rules
As a patron within this dream, you are required to follow a set of rules. They are outlined here and are expected to be followed. Anyone who's incapable of doing so will be punished and banned for one week, being staff does not exclude you from this.
1. For any dispute that has anything to do with the dream, please bring it directly to the Rah as soon as possible. Letting situations escalate beyond the point of correcting causes unneeded stress on all involved. If the problem is unresolved within a reasonable time period, the Rah will take immediate actions to end the dispute and will disregard anything except their own actions (and sanity).
2. Be courteous to all within the dream. No name calling, (i.e. Twink, asshole, fucker, bitch, etc.) to anyone, esspecially to staff. This displays ignorance and will not be tolerated.
3. Since the OOC zone has been expanded, NO OOC-NESS IS ALLOWED WITHIN THE IC AREA. OOC is to be kept on the OOC area or in whispers, any found otherwise will get a one way ticket to the Vinca.
4. When asked to cease and desist, please do. Neither the Rah, nor the staff will tolerate insolence and will rid themselves if provoked.
5. Provoking a fight with a peaceful resident for no other purpose than to bully them will not be tolerated. If any activity is caught by a staff, it will be stopped with an ejection, otherwise, it is to be reported to staff. This is true for both IC fights and OOC fights.
6. Both the staff and the Rah despise spamming and capitals when not required. This is your only warning. Use caps for no reason, spam, or both, expect to view the Vinca immediately thereafter. The new version of Furcadia allows bold and italics, as well as underlined text. If you need to emphasize on something, please use this method instead of capitals.
7. It is forbidden to just come into the dream and fall idle. We appreciate your attempts at keeping the dream up, but idlers do get in the way. Any idler found without a proper IC idle description will be ejected. This is, again, a continuity. OOC Descriptions are allowed ONLY in the OOC area.
8. OOC implies that you aren't posting anything that your character would not normally do. Please keep this in mind as you socialize within the OOC area. Emotes no longer than two lines are permitted. Anything more is crossing into Roleplay. At that point, it's wise to move IC.
Rules for the IC Areas
1. 1. All RP within this dream is based on the information here. This information is strictly what I've labled it as, information. It is not expected that people follow this like a bible, but it's just to increase one's knowledge on the elements that are acceptable here at A Kitsune's Paradise. Because of the specifics listed on this page, there will be no hesitation to reprimand those that do not make an effort to utilize this information. A good friend has allowed the information to be used for the betterment of the dream, and this is what we're trying to do. So, please, read up on the elements, AKP is to remain in a continuity.
2. Posting less than three lines while IC will get you ejected on sight. This dream is considered a Guild by the Rah and all staff and we will not hesitate to enforce this. If you do not like this posting rule, please be so kind as to hold your tongue and depart, unless you prefer to get banished. This rule does not pertain to OOC posts.
3. Since the OOC zone has been expanded, NO OOC-NESS IS ALLOWED WITHIN THE IC AREA. OOC is to be kept on the OOC area or in whispers, any found otherwise will get a one way ticket to the Vinca.
4. When asked to cease and desist, please do. Neither the Rah, nor the staff will tolerate insolence and will rid themselves if provoked.
5. Any who choose to RP within Paradise must have a reasonable character. No powergamers, nor immortality. This is strictly Kitsune. The only exceptions to this would be the three deemed by the Rah as acceptible Ryu/Rin (dragon). This is not to be hypocritical or anything you might come up with, it is to diversify the roleplay in the dream. There are only four of them and only two show their faces on a regular basis. Your kitsune powers are safe, no worries.
6. Provoking a fight with a peaceful resident for no other purpose than to bully them will not be tolerated. If any activity is caught by a staff, it will be stopped with an ejection, otherwise, it is to be reported to staff. This is true for both IC fights and OOC fights as well as sexual harrassments.
7. Number are... NUMBERS... not words. U, R, OMG, STFU, or any other form of abbreviated words are not allowed in this dream either. Ejection will fall to those who choose to post as such. This dream is considered a Guild by the Rah and its staff and it's rules will be enforced as such. Some netspeak, however, is allowed within the OOC area, but the command to eject is programmed into the dream's DragonSpeak, so don't try to "get away" with netspeak in the IC area, it just won't happen. And if such circumnavigation of the DS is spotted, an immediate ban will befall that person for as long as the Rah deems.
8. This is a strict rule and everyone is expected to abide by it: Nobody and that means NOBODY is allowed to RP as a character that is or is based on Inari. All kitsune in this dream will have from one to nine tails. Also, no wings or snake tails or other odd hybrids. Dominant and Submissive elementals are acceptible, but no hybrids. What is meant by dom. and sub. elementals is that your Kitsune character is dominated by one, and only one, specific element (i.e. Time). Your character is allowed only minimal control over one other element available within the dream (i.e. Earth). Conflicting elements such as Fire/Water, or Void/Crelestial are absolutely forbidden. For any capabale of RP-ing such a character (or otherwise reluctant to give up the RP of their specific character within the dream), they must first speak with the Rah before traveling IC. Kits (a character below three tails) are NOT allowed to have more than one element. You will be ejected on sight.
9. It is forbidden to just come into the dream and fall idle. We appreciate your attempts at keeping the dream up, but idlers do get in the way. Any idler found without a proper IC idle description will be ejected. This is, again, a continuity. OOC Descriptions are allowed ONLY in the OOC area.
10. Both the staff and the Rah despise spamming and capitals when not required. This is your only warning. Use caps for no reason, spam, or both, expect to view the Vinca immediately thereafter. The new version of Furcadia allows bold and italics, as well as underlined text. If you need to emphasize on something, please use this method instead of capitals.
11. BEFORE RPing here, please take the time to read up on our version of the kitsune lore as it will be helpful. In the descriptions, please try to at least have the element and the age of the kitsune (No older than 1,000). There are number tags on your badges and in your portraits for a reason. Also, use the correct avatar for the number, though the exceptions are the eight and nine tails.
12. For those with numbers or symbols in their names that cannot be said ICly, it is required that you have the character's name somewhere in the description.
13. There is a special code for the Ryu/Rin. This is what we call a local species. Do not ask the Rah, Co-Rah's, or Staff for this code, as you will not receive it through them. Keep in mind this is only a temporary patch as the nine-tailed avatars are worked on.
These are the rules to A Kitsune's Paradise. They are subject to change and mutilation throughout time and will always be enforced with vigor. Please follow them and all will be happy.
