Clan Rules and Respect
Obey your Clan leader and Deputy as much as your character allows. If a Clan Leader tells you to stop something, stop it. Also, follow the Clan Rules IC as much as your character allows. We allow rebels, traitors, and spies, but do not do anything drastically against the rules.
Rating
Blood of the Warriors is a General RP. Some parts may be considered mature, but only in the violence and language department. Minimum swearing and violence is accepted. Sex and sexual activities is not. Threads will be closed and members warned if they include that in any of their posts.
Post rules
Write something decent that someone else can reply to. We also do not allow 'netspeak' which is 'u', 'r', '@', etc. If netspeak is found in any thread, it will be asked to be changed. And thirdly, posts should be in third person. Third person is talking about your character like you're telling a story about them. Example: "Icestar crouched in the long grass." Is third person. A BAD example would be "I walked along the road and I found a mouse." Further you will sign in with your Warrior name but you will change your display name to your current status (Icekit, Icepaw, Icefang, Icestar) After you died and joined StarClan you should Capitalize your name (ICESTAR). When you die you have two choices either you join star clan or you can be reborn and start over as a kit again and you keep your name. If you join star clan you can later be reborn as well.If you are reborn you can choose to take over one of the kits that are born or you reapply at the border of your former clan or a new clan. Makes people more willing to die and makes the site a little more dramatic don't you think ? Your Character can only be in one place at one time UNLESS you are a Clan Leader accepting Clan members. If I see someone other than a Clan Leader in two places at the same time, they will be notified and action will be taken.
Fighting/Raising in Rank
First off, fighting IS allowed. And is actually encouraged. Fighting adds more suspense and drama. When fighting, God-moding, power playing, auto hits, etc is NOT allowed. Meaning your character must take a few hits, and suffer for it. No cat can come away from a fight totally unscathed. If your are fighting and neither cat wants to lose, and the fight goes on forever, either contact your Clan Leader or Icestar and they will decide the winner and stop the fight (winner will be based various things, such as experience of the character, hits taken, age, etc.)
As far as rank changing goes, it usually doesn't happen by fighting. The Clan leader appoints the Deputy.To become Clan Leader you must have mentored at least one Apprentice and have been Deputy. If Deputy and clan Leader dies then the most experienced cat becomes Leader and appoints a Deputy. Further to become Leader you have to apply at High Tower; The Medicine cat as well needs to apply at High Tower.Cats can plan ambushes and such to drive off or kill other cats in their own clan, if they're devious and careful enough. Any hint or notion that a cat is a traitor, though, could result in being kicked out of the Clan.
When fighting to kill, an OOC agreement MUST be made between the killer and the victim. You CANNOT, and I repeated CANNOT kill a character if they don't want to be killed. Simply message each other privately to arrange an agreement of being killed in a fight and make sure to tell Icestar about it so she can approve and sent a former clan member to lead the killed cat to join star clan.

If you have more than one character, create new accounts for each character, as long as you can keep each character active!
Acts of Treason
Otherwise known as betrayal. And yes, it is allowed on. What better to disrupt Clan life then have a member of a different Clan be accepted into an enemy Clan, become a part of Clan life, then betray them? Of course, the consequence on the Clan in which the cat is from is unknown - it is suggested that if a Clan plans to do this, they are strong and ready for a battle.
Time:
One month in our time equals two weeks on this Website. In general Full Moon Gatherings are at the first and the third Saturday of the month and New Moon Gatherings on the 2nd and the fourth Saturday of the Month (See Calender) if not otherwise indicated.(There are about 4-8 Medicine cats attending on New Moons and StarClan of course but if none of them is able to attend the gathering might be moved to Sunday or canceled). Gatherings should take no longer than three days or we have gatherings interfere with each other. If you cant make it to a gathering during those three days notify your Leader which will notify me, but only if none or only a few of their clan are able to attend.
When absent:
If you are absent for a few days please write under Announcements for how long. If you are in the middle of a mission/hunt/training ect. which can't go on with out you either make up an excuse for your character to leave or ask someone to finish it for you so not everyone has to stop in their tracts.
