I'm sorry there are so many rules, but it is important that they are followed. If you do not follow these rules, it will end up as being banned and possibly deleted. But probably the most important rule on BF is to just have fun! So have fun RPing!
Copyright 2007. Do NOT copy these rules without asking first
- The main idea for this RPG and almost all other RPGs is to enjoy yourself. It is very important that you follow all of these rules so that everyone can enjoy themselves as they RP.
- You must be respectful to all members. They are the same as everyone else. If I see any unrespectfully (this includes saying bad names), I will give you a warning level. If I see it a second time, you will be banned for 3 days. And if I see it a third time, I will delete your account. I will not allow this What So Ever.
- Please stay active. It is important that you read ALL the rules before even registering, to see if it is to you're liking. It is Very hard for the admin to keep track of their own and other member's characters, and if you quit, it is hard on everyone.
- Do not create more than one account. There is a limit of 10 characters per account. If you create another account, you will be exceeding your limit and that is unfair to other members. It is easy for me to see who has two accounts, so don't even try.
- Please be as realistic as you can. I know, they're talking horses, but no wings or horns. And geldings can't breed. All that stuff.
- One lead stallion per territory. Betas are allowed, but there may not be more than one leader stallion/gelding. Also, a lead stallion cannot have more than 1 queen.
- As a member, you may only play one stallion that owns a terra. This is so that all members have the chance to own a land.
- It is important that your posts are long and interesting. I will not accept any one-liners. I will simply lock the post. One-liners are hard to reply to and that is part of the reason why no one enjoys RPing.
- Use correct grammar and punctuation. It's hard to read things that says ppl, or lol. Just spell it out, unless it's in the cbox. Also, if a horse is talking, please use "quotes" or Bold or Italicize etc. It's easier for everyone else.
- Like on every site I administrate, you must put "archives" at the end of each thread where you are done RPing. This is easier for me so that I don't have to ask.
- No, you do not have to wait to be accepted. But if this begins to frustrate me I will change the rule.
- You must have a list of your characters somewhere in your profile, whether it's in your personal notes or your signature. This is so that everyone knows who has which character. Update daily.
- In the OOC Category, there is something called Organization. You MUST come here and name your characters and territory rankings. If you don't have your characters listed, I will be PMing you telling you to do so.
- No cussing, powerplaying, godmoding, and no taking the name of God in vain. Cussing is minimumly allowed Out of Character.

- Not only is BF a wild horse RPG, it is also an image request site. Please read the rules carefully before requesting an image.
- If you want to become a personalizer and create images for other members, you must fill out the personalizer application form. Do not create any images until you have been accepted.
- If you want to request an image, please fill out the form in each seperate thread that matches what kind of picture you want.
- Do NOT offend other people's work. If I see this, I will ban you for 3 days. Personalizers go through a lot of work to create images for you, and you shouldn't go dissing them because the image isn't what you pictured.
- Do not over-do the requests. There are only so many personalizers and they work their hardest to make pictures for you.
- Do not copyright any of these pictures. They are not yours and do not call them your own.
- To let you know, the completed requests/pickup board is hidden from guests so that they don't steal pictures. Personalizers please move the complete requests to that certain board and do not put the picture in the board that is not hidden.
[ C L A I M I N G T E R R A S ][/b][/u]
- Only stallions and geldings over the age of 4 may claim or steal a terrain.
- You cannot say "This is Fire's Terrain now." No. You must make an intermediate RP of your stallion/gelding claiming the terrain as his own.
- If you are the first horse to claim a terrain you are allowed to create a title and description of that terrain. Please be reasonable and realistic. You will be accepted or declined. Make sure it's unique. For example, don't have "Death Valley", "Death Volcano", and "Death River." No. Try not to have the same word as other terras.
- After you have claimed your terra, you must create rankings for it and rules is optional. PM me if you want me to sticky it.
[ C L A I M I N G ][/u]
- All mares Must go to the claiming brook if you want a home. You cannot wander into other terrains.
- Force-claiming is allowed ONLY if both members agree to do so.
- Foals are not allowed in the claiming area unless it is too young to be on it's own. But it must be with a mare already.
- If mares/stallions/geldings want to go and adopt a foal, they must go to the Foal Frolic. This is the only place where lost foals are allowed.
- Betas, if you are wanting a mare of your own, please let the other person know that you are a beta stallion, and not a leader.
- I'm not too picking about this kind of stuff, but no fighting in the claiming areas.
- Only stallions/geldings who are older than 4 are allowed to claim a terra.
[ S T A L L I O N S ][/b][/u]
- Stallions are not allowed to enter into other lead stallion's/gelding's territory unless it is to challenge a fight, retrieve a mare, or create an alliance.
- Stallions may Not Physically fight with mares. I know it happens in Real Life, but on here, people get mad and I don't want that.
- Stallions are not allowed to fight with foals PERiod.
- If you are a beta stallion and a beta mare has stolen you, you have no choice and must go.
[ G E L D I N G S ][/b][/u]
- Geldings are NOT allowed to breed. Geldings are only allowed because of the plot.
- They may of a terrain of their own, but remember that geldings are much weaker than stallions, and if a fight is taken place, you have a 15% chance you'll win.
- They may be a beta.
- They may not be younger than 2.
- May physically fight with mares, but even with mares they are weaker.
- May not fight with foals PERiod.
[ F I G H T I N G ][/b][/u]
- Very Serious fighting must be done in the battle field. But if it's not fighting for something, it can be done anywhere.
- You are only allowed 2 blocks. (Blocks are where you dodge the attack). You must say how many blocks you have done in each post.
- Each member who is fighting is only allowed 10 posts per thread.
- A final decision of the winner will be made by a staff member.
- NO POWERPLAYING!!! This is VERY strict. If you don't know what powerplaying is, PM a staff member.
[ B R E E D I N G ][/b][/u]
- No Graphic Breeding. This is what deleted forums.
- Simply say "fades to black".
- No geldings may breed.
- No horse under the age of 2 may breed.
- It is not required to RP it. You can just say that so and so and so and so bred.
- Breeding can ONLY be done in the permitted area.
[ B I R T H I N G ][/u][/size]
- After a week's wait of breeding, a mare may give birth.
- Is only allowed in the permitted area.
- Only mare may do so... duh.
- It is possible to have twins, but don't be too excited.
- All you have to do is post the joining form for both dam and sire.
- A staff member will create foal stats. ONLY a staff member.
[ S T E A L I N G ][/b][/u]
- Can only be done by mares, geldings, and stallions.
- Mares may only steal foals and beta stallions. They may steal any other stallion or gelding.
- Foals may not steal anything.
- Stallions and Geldings can steal mares and terrains.
- To try and steal something, you must create a riddle. The riddle must include either the name of the mare/terrain/stallion/gelding/foal, the land title where that horse lives, or the stallion/mare/gelding who is above them in ranking. Be sure that at least one of these is hidden in the riddle.
- You cannot steal more than one horse each riddle.
- You must wait a total of 3 days to get what you wanted to steal.
- If you know who it is, don't tell ANYONE!!!
- If you know who it is, and the horse involves you, you may block him/her by saying "I block _____ because..." You must have a reason and hint from the riddle that makes you think it is who it is.
I'm sorry there are so many rules, but it is important that they are followed. If you do not follow these rules, it will end up as being banned and possibly deleted. But probably the most important rule on BF is to just have fun! So have fun RPing!
