So, you're accepted into The Crew or you're just taking a peek! Welcome, here are our laws. You must abide by them if you'd like to keep your stay happy and drama free.
When in The Crew there are simple LAWS you will have to follow. Not following in these rules will result in:
Banishment or Death, depending on your crime. (IC or OOC)
Please read these rules carefully.
On a side note: If you are a member of The Crew and wish to suggest a law, please look in the appropriate thread. Thank you.
IC Laws
1. Obey the Alpha at all times; S/he’s word is law. If the Alpha is not around the Beta is in charge, if they are not around third in command will be in charge. (Gamma rank). This does not give them power to banish you or kill you. Only the Alpha may decide your fate. A Beta or a Gamma to reject this rule will be de-ranked or banished.
2. Pack Alliances or Individual Allies are to NOT be attacked, abused or tampered with; they are to be held with respect and honor, as anyone else in The Crew. If you decide to attack an ally. This will result in banishment. Syledia has chosen to ally with these packs and or persons. You are expected to trust her judgement unless otherwise. If there is a problem see Syledia. (If it is an issue OOCly, please whisper Syledia.)
FIGHTING
3. Do not fight with other pack members to do them harm. Do not kill other pack members out of a spat (IC or OOC), (Sparring is allowed); this can be taken as a sign of betrayal and can result in banishment. Remember your place in The Crew's hierarchy.
4. Sparring is allowed with other Crew members, just not to the death, fatal wounds are not allowed. Take this into consideration when sparring or Syledia, or whoever else is in charge, will step in.
5. Sparring for your rank is allowed (please look at the rank titles and descriptions section to see further rules on this). If another member holds the title you want, they must accept your challenge, and the fight must NOT be to the death. The loser will be demoted, and the winner will ONLY be granted their rank upon Syledia's blessing.
MATES
6. If you apply to The Crew mated, and are accepted, you are to bring your mate to see your pack, s/he is expected to converse with the pack in order to get an alliance or to be trusted. Any disrespect of your partner to The Crew, will result in automatic banishment and or death of your mate and or you. (To make things easier, you may want them to join. They are to put in an application as you have, in order for acceptance).
7. Mating: Already accepted and looking for a mate? You are to see Syledia right away if you want to mate outside The Crew, it might be easier you mate Crew Members. (ASK SYLEDIA for permission to ‘court or mate’ ICly and OOCly). This is because The Crew needs to know who will be around and who can be trusted. Being part of The Crew, means they are your family, and it is respectful to notify them who will be their new ally.(Mating members of Alliance Packs is allowed and smiled upon; make sure you read their pack rules as well.)
8. Mating Pack Enemies is a definite NO. This will result in death and a stamp KOS. (Kill on sight).
PUPS
9. The Crew does not mind pups unless told otherwise. When there are too many for The Crew to handle, pups will no longer be accepted until the others are grown.
10. Pups with mates outside The Crew. This is rare, but can happen. If your mate and you have a litter, the pups are to be automatically The Crew’s property. Please make sure you know this so problems do not arise.
11. Adopting: This is allowed, pups are automatically placed in The Crews care to be risen. Just make sure to ask Syledia or let her know.
12. Breeding: Please ask permission to breed, it must be approved by Syledia. Failure to do this can result in death of your newborns. There cannot be too many pups!
13. Aging: Pups will age one IRL week to one IC month for the first three IC months. After they're three months old IC, they're to age two IRL weeks to one IC month until a year old. After they're a year old, it is up to the role player's prerogative. Within the privacy of a family, it is the family's prerogative to role play whatever plots they choose, whether to make up a development plot to help catch everyone up or to just do something just for themselves, unrestricted by the aging rule. This aging rule is only for when litters within the pack interact with one another.
OOC Laws
Roleplay Laws
ROLEPLAY
1. Do NOT auto-hit, this is a form of twinking and will be NOT be tolerated. Doing this in an RP will cause you to be banished if you are in the Crew. (If it is an accident, work it out with the opposing member, or, have a RP judge witness your fight.) The Crew will not allow such behavior. If you are outside the Crew and you auto hit, you will be placed as an enemy and ignored. The Crew does not associate with twinks. We do not like to waste our posts on them either.
2. God-modding in The Crew is an automatic ban. If you are RPing with The Crew and you god-mod you will be ignored. Example of god-mod (being a four headed wolf with poison eyeballs that can suddenly re-spawn with a magic rock) this is ridiculous. You will be ejected and banned for being foolish.
3. If you have a special character, (wings, horns,) please make sure to keep it level. The Crew does accept specials, as long as it is Rp’ed well, and not overplayed. (Godmodding). If it suits your character, by all means please keep it. But, please be responsible.
4. Wolfspeak, this is allowed as most of The Crew members understand or use this technique when in an RP. Just take into consideration not everyone will know what you're talking about and could result in a bad role-play experience.
5. To all Crew members: Please, you must RP at least three times a week (if possible.) This is not really an issue in The Crew, but just in case- to keep things alive. If you do not, you risk being kicked from the Crew for inactivity. To all those who do RP, there are now titles to go with your rank- those who do RP more than this will be awarded one. (Please look at the title description page for more information).
ACTIVITY
6. If you are not active, you will be KICKED from The Crew. The Crew does allow offline applications, make sure you fill out one or risk losing your rank. The Crew also will warn you in a week’s advance before kicking your character.
7. PUP ACTIVITY: Pups are automatically accepted into The Crew without an application. Please be warned! If your pup is not there to RP on the time of birth, they will be placed as RIP to The Crew and its personal history. Also note, if they are inactive, they will get the same treatment anyone does who is inactive to The Crew.
8. OOC vs IC: We know you can have bad days and good days, sometimes you have days when you want to kill everything. That is okay, it is fine to vent. As long as you can please keep it out of YOUR characters life. OOC and IC is completely different. Do not call someone names OOCly because of an action made ICly. Remember you are playing your characters shoes not your own. We do not accept drama here. Keep IC in IC and OOC and OOC. Failure to do this on three accounts; will risk in banishment.
9. IC is IC, and OOC is OOC, for all those who have past dislike for those in the 'Old Crew' Please, try to get over it, as this will be a drama free zone. This is a new beginning, remember, your characters are not YOU. If you cannot get along, you will be kicked from The Crew, there will be no tolerance for those who do not try and break the rules of ROLEPLAY.
RESPECT
10. Please note, once you are in The Crew, you are holding a level of respect for your pack and the people in it. Please avoid insulting one another and know that there is a person behind that character. If any disrespect for a member gets out of hand, you risk being banished. Come to Syledia if you cannot solve the problem yourself.
11. Loyalty. This is a KEY factor in The Crew, once you are accepted, a level of dedication IS EXPECTED. This doesn't mean you cannot have alts in other packs, but, talking about The Crew and its private matters is a risk you will take in being banished. No CREW secrets are to be revealed to an enemy pack, or any unknown pack. You will be banned for showing disloyalty to The Crew.
