Rules and Regulations
Hello and welcome to the rules section, beasts unleashed member! My name is Jesma! Because of how large our rules are, they shall be split into three parts: Basic, Character, and Roleplaying. These are simple yet effective rules, so I suggest that you obey them, and we will all get along swimmingly. After all, you'd have to want to get banned in order to do so. :3
Part 1: Basics
-Be Polite: It is common courtesy to be polite to those you meet. Disobeying this rule can land you some minor offences and warnings. If you start calling people names, repeatedly ignoring them, or just pestering them with things they don't want to talk about, or do, right now, then you will receive a warning for doing so.
-No Spamming: If you spam at all, in the chatbox or in any topics, you will receive a warning. Continue in the chatbox, and you shall be banned for a temporary time. Continue to do it in topics, and you may receive a warning. Spam will agitate many players, and is just overall useless, so please don't do it, or else severe punishment shall be taken.
-Sexual Content: If anyone, either in the chatbox, or in topic, decides to start using dirty material, this is fine. Flirting and erotic behavior are allowed, if the one who is being flirted on allows it. If this stuff is done when the other participant is uncomfortable, then you will receive a warning. If any pornographic imagery or mention of sexual activity is brought up, you will receive a warning, and perhaps even be banned.
-Swearing: This is allowed. However, like with the sexual content, if anyone in topic of in the chatbox is uncomfortable with your swearing, and request you to stop, yet you ignore them, then, like all other times, you shall be given a warning. If excessive swearing continues, you may be kicked from the chatbox, or given a more severe warning if it is in topic.
-Advertisement: Please. Only advertise in the advertisement section. There is no reason why you can't. If you advertise in chatbox, and a moderator or admin tells you not to, then you will be kicked, and shall receive a warning for disobeying the mod or admin. If you continue, you may be banned from the chatbox.
Part 2: Character
-Permian to Neogene: All characters must be within the time scale of the beginning of the Permian period, and the ending of the Neogene period. Exceptions may be allowed, but this is unlikely. And characters must be extinct creatures! I say this because there are some animals that existed over two million years ago that are still around today, such as the Grey wolf.
-Character Restrictions: Here at Beasts Unlimited, we are a restricted roleplaying site. Only fifteen "Adults", or members, are allowed to join that may be whatever they want. But once we meet that limit, all new members must join as babies. And to make this fair, you may only join once two members have mated, and have babies available. That way, you will have someone to protect you. If you happen to join, and want to request a baby, you may join the waiting list, and when a baby character comes up, you will be given that character, as long as you want it. Adults may be available from time to time, but this is rare.
-Nothing Made-Up: There are probably millions of roleplays out there that allow you to create your own dinosaur. Not us. Your creation must be one hundred percent real, meaning that they are scientifically proven to exist! This means that no dinosaur fusions are allows, such as those genetically modified creatures from Jurassic World, either.
-One Account: Don't worry, this isn't what you think it means. This is actually a restriction rule. Please be aware that all of your characters shall be placed on one account. You may create as many characters as you desire, but you must first get permission from a moderator or admin. Also be aware, that if adult spaces don't happen to be open, your new character must be a child, and you will be put on the waiting list as well.
Part 3: Roleplay
-Eat or Be Eaten: This isn't so much a rule, but a word of caution. All characters are allowed to kill another at any time. You CAN DIE in RP without another warning. If you die in roleplay, however, fear not. You are allowed to create another character without getting on the waiting list, but this character will always be a teen or younger. Granted, you may make them an old teen, being seventeen, but they will still be a teen. This may happen a limit of two times. If you die a third time, you MAY be put on the waiting list to receive a new character. But if you die a fourth time, you will most DEFINITELY be sent to the waiting list.
-Mating: This is allowed, obviously, but please don't describe it. You may put a tag over your topic saying [Mature] so that people know it is for those +18, and you may use erotic behavior, but when it comes to the actual sex, I would ask that you please do not describe it. This is the same for giving birth, but a little more flexible.
-OP and Godmodding: Because we are dinosaurs, and this is a restricted site, where you are only allowed to use natural weapons, no crazy derp stuff, it is hard to be op. However, it can be achieved, somehow. This will not be tolerated. If anyone is caught godmodding another person's character, they will be receiving a warning.
-Weather: As you may have noticed, there is a little thing at the home page that lists the current weather, diet(Famine, surplus, etc.), season, and year. These things will change weekly, and you will be required to age your character. Simply ask a moderator or admin to move your character to waiting, so you may edit your age. This, of course, means that characters will die. Here is how the aging process works.
Baby= 0-2 years/8 seasons before graduating to child
Child= 2-10 years/32 seasons before graduating to teen
Teen= 10-16 years/26 seasons before graduating to young adult
Young Adult= 16-32 years/64 seasons before graduating to Adult
Adult= 32-65 years/132 seasons before graduating to Elder
Elder= 65-90 years/25 seasons before Death
