OOC:
_Limit profane language. IC AND ooc. 'hell' and 'piss' however are allowed. It is annoying and useless. Also, please no graphic fights with guts.

_Respect all other members. Also do not consider yourself higher or better than any others here. You may think that, but please no ooc fights. We are all equal here. Any unwanted or rude PMs are to be reported.

_Please, only one account per person. It gets very annoying when others make multiple accounts. Also if you are banned, it is for a good reason. So don't make new accounts.

_Please stay away from annoying names like Starlight123. There is no need for the numbers, since there is probably no other members with the same name. In incedents like ths, names will be automatically changed, or be asked to be changed.

_This is North American Bird Roleplay. Not much fantasy involved, but we have it. Please, no NON-NA birds. and No other animals.

_Occasionally on holidays, there will be a special thread made, giving an opportunity for a special treat.

_Purchase items with ♫Tunes. ♫Tunes are earned by roleplaying and postage.

_In the store, there are powers for your birds. Only one power per bird please.

_You may have as many characters as you want. It is suggested to start with one or two to get the feel of the roleplay. Characters will be automatically deleted if inactive.

_Please be active. If you are not on for an activity check without posting in the hiatus board, your account WILL BE deleted, with no warning. We take activity seriously here.

_Be social! Make some friends, chat on the c-box, etc. We all want to know you, so no being antisocial, because we don't like that...

_If you are going to join, make sure you SERIOUSLY do your bios and FINISH them. I don't care if it's peice by peice, but if it isn't done in 2 weeks(14 days), we TRASH it, to never be returned. So, don't forget about them... If you post in the hiatus board wth a SERIOUS issue you have going on, we'll extend the time a bit

_We will be having monthly contests and activity checks. In the contests, you can win surprise prizes!(yay) so make sure to check them out. Also, when there's an activity Check, make sure to post there, or... DUN DUN DUN! Your account gets deleted.

IC:
_Liquid time is allowed. Meaning, your character can be in different threads at one time, though roleplaying at night, day, afternoon, day ahead, etc. However, try limiting them to 3-4 threads at once.

_All In character posts are required to be at least 100 words long. It is preffered however to be longer. We all need something to reply to, don't we? Besides, because Brid roleplay is not common, some newer roleplayers need somewhere easy to start off.

_Absolutely no force breeding, or very graphic breeding. You may use the fade to black method, by saying that 'He mounted her and the two began to mate' but not much further. There may be young eyes watching. The gestation period is 1 week in REAL time.

_No powerplaying or god-modeling. We take this very seriously here. Powerplaying is when you try to control another player's character. This can often be done accidentally, especially during fights. So you may not bring harm to another person's character in your own post. you may say "He jumped at her hoping to hit hard". However, you also cannot dodge every attack. God-modling is when you try and make your character seem invincible or perfect, which is also dodging every attack thrown at them.
However, it is acceptable to ask the member you are roleplaying with to Powerplay a little bit. Respect their answers.

_ Your characters must be in a correct Kingdom corresponding to their species. After choosing a kingdom, your charcter must speak with the King and Queen of the kingdom to switch kingdoms, otherwise you are considered refugees and will be searched for by that kingdom's soldiers.

_Roamers are free to roam any kingdom, though they have few rights.

_Please be literate. Use correct capitalization, punctation, etc. And please check your spelling. That's why there's a spell check for you.

_We roleplay in third person here and nothing else. It's very confusing in first person. And second person we have really no point using.

_PLEASE, don't just make the 'cool' birds or 'common' birds such as Bald Eagles and golden Eagles, okay? We need variety, and we WILL have bans on certain species at times.

*_When in a thread with 3+ members, each member has 72 hours(3 days) to reply. If they have not posted within the limited time you may skip them. When it rolls around to their turn again, you must continue the wait period. If the member is on hiatus, they should probably make a post to pull their character form the thread.
