forum accounts

instructions regarding creation of accounts!

► How many accounts can I have?[break]One. This is to reduce clutter and future troubles of cleaning the dead accounts off the site. If found with more than one account, one of them will be banned at the creation moderator's discretion.
[break][break]
► What if I share an IP address?[break]Just PM a moderator upon joining to notify them, include both account names.
[break][break]
► What kind of username should I use?[break]Account names cannot have numbers or symbols in them. So nothing like "lavavwhisker695". Feel free to have warrior names or such as a username if you do not have an OOC (out of character) name that you'd prefer. It is not necessary to have your username as your character name, but if you'd like, go for it.
[break][break]
► What username should I use for the chatbox?[break]Please use the same forum username as your username in the chatbox. Type it into the "name" bar and password protect it by pressing on the white, small person icon to register as a user in the chatbox.

character creation

common concerns about making your first character!

► How many characters can I have?[break]As many as you can personally keep active. If the staff find that you are falling behind on some of your characters, you may be asked to retire those you have been less active with.
[break][break]
► What kinds of names are acceptable for my character?[break]Clan cats must use Clan cat names. A warrior cat name generator can be found here if you need guidance on finding a name. Loners and rogues may keep their Clan names if they wish to do so in the event that they get banned from a Clan or leave.
[break][break]
► Can my character have a mental illness/birth defect/other abnormality?[break]Yes, but these characteristics must be purchased from the shop before you can put them in your characters' personalities. You can access the shop by looking in the lower righthand corner of the forum and pressing on the red awning symbol, which is labeled as "Stone Exchange." This is to limit the number of abnormalities Clan cats would normally have in the wild.
[break][break]
► Can my character be LGBT?[break]Why not? This makes for an even more diverse character pool. There's no discrimination here.
[break][break]
► Where should I get pictures for my character from?[break]Commonly, folks tend to use deviantart or flickr for cat images. Any source is okay as long as the image is licensed by Creative Commons or you have written permission to use a copyrighted image. Please provide a screenshot of the permission in your bio if you choose to do this.

thread rules

tips to keep in mind while writing here!

► Is there a minimum word count?[break]Yep, 130 words is the minimum. But feel free to go crazy, and try to match post length with other members in the same thread. If there are any issues regarding this, please PM a staff member.
[break][break]
► Can my character curse?[break]As long as it's lore-friendly curse words, and its not every other word thats fine. Everyone slips up. Please refer to the common phrases sub-board for some lore-friendly curses and other warrior vernacular.
[break][break]
► Where can I get one of those fancy posting templates?[break]We love to encourage the use of coding on the site! If you're looking for some available coding sites, we can recommend Gangnam Style, Adoxography, or Pixel Perfect. Please remember to follow the rules of each template creator and the staff members of the site when using templates!
[break][break]
► What is the turn order for each thread?[break]When in a thread, make sure you don't skip over someone if there's more than two members participating. Usually it goes something like this: member a posts, member b posts, member c posts, and after member c posts, the turn order cycles back to member a to post. Post order is determined by who posts in the thread first.
