Fights


1. Fights should occur in the specialized fighting boards.

2. The challenged character has one real-time week to deny or accept the challenge.

2. You can set the terms as to the number of posts, number of attacks/dodges, etc. Standard battle terms are two posts each, with two attacks and one optional dodge.

3. Your players are not invincible. This means no godmoding and no powerplaying.

4. Players must ask the other's permission before killing the opposing character.

5. The fight will be judged between the Admin/Global Mod(s). Fights between regular horses will be judged by one staff member, and fights for Alliance Leader positions will be judged by three.

6. Your posts will be judged on quality, validity of the attacks, variety, and uniqueness. Rerum Natura values quality over quantity, so just because you make long posts doesn't mean you will always win.

7. The victor will win whatever was specified in the terms they made.

8. Neither equine will participate in a fight for five real-life days. This helps the character recuperate and recover (As well as for the player and the people judging the fight xD).

9. If you have a concern about the judgement, tell us! The judge(s) will look over it, and if need be, the verdict will be changed.

10. Have fun!



Breeding

1. NO GRAPHIC BREEDING. That gets sites banned. If you want to do that, then do it somewhere else!

2. Breeding occurs during Summer and Winter.

2. No breeding out of season or if the mare is pregnant. (See exceptions below.)

3. Forcebreeding is allowed, and any mare (pregnant or not) could fall victim, even out of season. Beware!


Foaling

1. Foaling occurs during Spring and Autumn.

2. Mares can be pregnant up until the end of the foaling season coming right after the breeding season they were bred in.

3. When your character is ready to have the foal, you must post in the foaling lands, either IC or OOC. Both the stallion's player and the mare's player must post their stats. A staff member will determine the foal's stats. The mare's player decides if the foal is stillborn, and the staff member will decide if the mare has twins.

4. Do not ask for a certain foal. Asking repeatedly results in a stillborn.

5. Foals grow by one year every season after they are born until they are four years old.


Time/Seasons

[SIZE=1]1. Seasons change every Friday and last for seven real-life days.

2. Breeding is allowed in Summer and Winter, and foaling is allowed in Spring and Autumn.

3. Adults age by one year when a full cycle of seasons is completed. (This is one real-life month.)
