Okay, here are the rules to follow for Warriors United. THEY MIGHT SEEM LIKE A LOT, BUT THEY ARE IMPORTANT. Please read these before joining so you get the gist of WU; don't disobey them, or we'll eat you. Seriously.
out of character.
[/center]This roleplaying site is based on the WARRIORS series by Erin Hunter. It would be best to read the first book at least before joining, so you have an idea of what to do.
If you do join, we expect you to follow the rules, and not doing so may result in a ban or deletion. You will get a warning or two, of course, but the rules aren't that hard to abide by!
Also, listen to the staff team. They know what's best for the site and have been part of it for a long time. Disobeying them can also result in a ban or deletion. When they tell you something, listen to them, and if there is a problem, PM another admin, okay? If there's something wrong with another member and a staff member, don't take care of it yourself - contact another staff member.
Next, the site is rated PG. That means no swearing or cussing unless absolutely needed. Cats, at least in the Warriors series, don't say our type of vulgar words - they have their own, and you should know those. Do not flame anywhere in the site, and don't aggravate other members. Including in the cbox. It's rude and impolite. If you are arguing with somebody else and you must talk about it, do it over PM.
If you're making important OOC threads, you must be a staff member! Same with activity checks. Concerning activity, we expect you to get on at least a few times a week. If you have prior engagements and can't get on, post in the Away board. Don't just leave without contacting anyone - you will be deleted at the next activity check.
Don't post random spam threads anywhere else but the Meows and Yowls board, or the games board if it goes in that category. No advertising except in the advertising board! Failure to comply can result in deletion.
Finally, please stay active! Know your material, respect other people, and most importantly, have fun! That's what Warriors United is about.

in character.
See Shadowolf's guide in this board for help if you have issues with anything here. There's a lot of important things to follow when you are roleplaying or making a biography.
The first thing to do when making a biography is to please copy the form we have put up for you! If there's a problem with that, contact a staff member and they will sort it out. Otherwise, we want you using that form. No other exceptions. When you write your bio, it should not be one or two sentences for each category. Please be detailed and have several complete sentences for each category. If your bio is not adequate, a staff member will notify you and you'll have to change it - that's why it's best to make it good the first time. The code for your bio is 2009.
WHEN ROLEPLAYING, DO NOT USE ONE-LINERS! They annoy the heck out of everyone! WU expects you to write at least four or five lines per post. (Read Shadow's Guide if you can't do that). Yes, we are a beginners' site, but everyone can learn, okay? And everyone has their museless days, but if we see you posting one-liners at a constant rate, we will warn then ban you if it keeps going. Also, when roleplaying try to use size 1. It makes the site look neater, and it's pretty :]
And of course you can't fight OOC, but it's natural for even cats to fight. If you and the other person cannot figure out who should win, or if you're arguing over it, PM A STAFF MEMBER and they will figure it out based on the person who roleplays best, and the cat who is more likely to win.
Do NOT powerplay or god-mod. Powerplaying is when you play another person's character, which you are NOT allowed to do (unless the roleplayer of that person has allowed you to). You may not god-mod either, which is when you act like your character has superpowers or is stronger than any other cats.
Only cats may be roleplayed on this site. Do not roleplay mating graphically - just fade to black, okay? If you really feel like doing that, do it over PM. You don't know how young people can be; this site can attract very young members.
Next, the maximum characters you may have is TEN cats. Keep them all active - if you don't, you will have to get rid of them by adopting out or killing them off. Thanks everyone!
