Game Characters
You may have only one Role play Character. Only get on that character to Roleplay and for meetings! Until you die you must keep this Character.
Other than that character, feel free to create anymore.
No Spam
Please do not spam the game with random letters/numbers. Start a party with other people and do that. If we do catch you spamming in local/general, you'll get a strike and loose most of our trust which will make it very hard to make your own Pack.
No 'All' Caps Sentences
You may use caps every once in awhile, but please do not keep using them in a large sentence
'NOOOOO' is acceptable.
'YOU GUYS ARE REALLY COOL' is not acceptable.
Do Not Change Any Files
Please do not add your own or change any files in the game. It will likely ruin the game and mess it up. If we catch you adding in your own maps or adding in your own meshes or textures, you'll be banned off of the game immediately for a week. Presents are acceptable though but instead you should wait for us to add it in game.
Cussing
Cussing is aloud in game, but please don't use it towards another person. That is called disrespect, even if their your own enemy, we must respect each other if we must live with each other. Also if someone asks you to tone it down, please do so. We don't want people using cuss words as their only sentence.
Sexual Words
Please do not use sexual words in your posts or in your name, this is a huge violation that we will always look at for. You'll get 2 strikes if we catch you. But you may use sexual words in parties with your friends.
Adding Presents
To add a present to the game you can message any one of the leaders to add it in, we probably will in the next update. But only ONE present for each, use it wisely.
Age
Age
Age is one of the biggest things around here. Due to mating actions and such, it is 13+. UNLESS you are mature enough not to play around and such.
Do not Insult Suggestions
Its a no no to insult ones suggestions or ideas especially help questions. You may 'Critique' them. If you have been insulted please consult with their leader about the issue and they will take care of it.
Ignoring
Please do not ignore one another, even if they are annoying to you, answer their questions or talk to them. We must always help each other and never ignore, unless they are being rude to you, then you may contact the admins and you may ignore them. But maybe they'll end up being a great friend?
Mini-Modding
Please no Mini-Modding; we will do our job. Instead why not help us out and contact the Admins with the problem. If we catch you mini-modding you will get a strike. We know you want to help us out, but to really help us out just tell us whats up. THIS GOES FOR THE GAME AS WELL.
Respect Others
We are all people, treat others you would like to be treated yourself. If you do not want to hear someone spam, then you should not spam. If you dont like when someone yells at you, dont yell at them. I'm not saying you have to be friends with everyone. Just be friendly.
Don't Double Post; Single word post
Please NO double posting, you can edit {Or Modify} your own post. We do not want people spamming a topic with a bunch of compliments or such. And that goes for single word post, that is also considered spamming.
No Swearing
Please no swearing on the forums, we want to keep it swearing free. But you still can swear on the Game.
If we find you swearing on the forums we will warn you to change it, and if you don't we'll delete it.
No Drama/Fighting
Please no Drama or Fighting on the forums, you'll get 1 strike. Drama and Fighting will be saved later on when we are role playing, that is the time where you can let the blood drip.
Before Posting
Before posting please check if your meant to post something specific. Also read the boards description, they usually hold something that you should or need to know.
Roleplay Day and Fun Roleplay
Roleplay Day is when Everyone gets together and Roleplays, and when I mean everyone, I mean the whole Hollow Forest. This is when everyone can continue the Story and Plot of Hollow Forest. When this day happens and you cannot go, please post on the topic that you cannot attend to the Roleplay.
Fun Roleplay is just a little get together Roleplay, we might make a map for this specific Roleplay only. On Fun Roleplay you cannot use your Main Character, but any other character you possess. Maybe a bird roleplay. Anyone can join and you don't need an admin's permission.
IF THE LEADER GETS ON; they are aloud to host a roleplay randomly
Do not be Offended by RP people
What I mean is that, when you RP its not them OOC and how they treat you OOC, its in RP. So if someone hates you in RP, doesn't mean they dont like you OOC. So go ahead and call someone names in RP and form a good/bad relationship, it shouldn't affect your friendship OOC.
Realistic Roleplay
Make something realistic happen while your out doing something. Make something up to spark up the Roleplay.
No Maps, No F3
Maps and F3 is STRICTLY prohibited! This is cheating. When your an apprentice you'll learn the territory, you will not need a map. Also F3 is stalking and you'd probably find out a hidden plot and it'll ruin the whole surprise. If your caught, you'll either get banned or if we're in a good mood, you'll only get 2 strikes. Plus, without the Map and F3, everything will be more realistic and fun!
Insta-Mates Forbidden
No Insta-Mates, it just makes it not fun. Get to know each other's character, maybe you wont even work? The Mate Search place is to see whose out there that maybe is interested.
Death
When you die you will die. Your gone. You will have to start your character all over again, as a pup or apprentice if no pup slots are open. Only the 3 main creators of the Hollow Forest has immortality because the gods granted them with such. If you are an admin/mod from being Beta or Alpha, if you die, you'll have to try and get back up. This is only for realistic purposes, and it'll be loads of fun.
When you die it means you've died from disease or being killed by another wolf. If the alpha dies, a beta will take over, but if a beta dies, the alpha chooses a new beta from the Delta's.
You must be careful who you give these powers to.
RP Literate
Please no short sentences. and Roleplay the correct way. " are for talking.
And for sure NO * or -
Example #1
Hura creeps through the mists. In the distance a blurred image of a wolf stands. She tilted her head.
"Hello? Who's there?" Hura croaked. The image stepped forward and then stopped. Hura was now frightened as her tail curled in between her legs and her ears layed low on her head. Blah blah blah..
That is how you should roleplay. So please use this method.
Killing
When killing another character, the character must be wounded enough that it would be realistically possible. Do not god-mod while killing. We do not force members to ask permission, but if you really do not want your character to die, please tell your Assassin that you do not want to be killed, and there for they cannot kill you.
When to Use Short Messages
We can use short messages but only is some situations. Such as when your fighting you can use short messages. When you do put {SM}.
Another example of a SM is when you only want to say one thing, no movements like:
Player1: She steps over the young wolf and bites her nose gently, punishing her kin with kindness. blee bloo...blaa...
Player2: "But sister! I don't want to leave!" {SM}

Player2: "But sister! I don't want to leave!" {SM}
Do Not Roleplay When...
Sounds Crazy to not roleplay but there are situations where you just need to wait. As in when you are Hunting, your leader will Howl or Bark when you charge, do not roleplay, just wait and then charge. For the prey could be a hard catch and they will need their pack members to help them so they do not die; this will help to prevent insta-hunting animals.
No Perfect Characters
Your character is not Perfect, let them have a weak spot and draw some blood. You cannot dodge every move your opponent strikes. Let them push you against a tree or fling you onto another pack member.
No Goddmodding/PowerPlaying/Auto-Hitting
These are the worst you could ever do in a roleplay. Please do not do this or you'll get a strike. Let your opposite hit you back every time you hit them.
C and F
in the middle of roleplay, you can't type anymore, what do you do? you say (c) which means your still continuing on your sentence. If you see a (c) in someones sentence, please wait for them to finish. when your done with your sentence after you made one with a (c) put (f) So like:
Nina: She walked and stopped, blah blah blah blah blah blah and (c)
Nina: She fell over blah blah blah blah (f)
Chats
Local= Roleplaying when near people
General= Roleplaying when alone
...if your near someone please get off general and If you would like to talk with people, make a party with the people you'd like to talk to.
If you want to tell people Brb or something or a message to all the members just say this in General
OOC: My Message Here
When Alpha Is Gone
When the Alpha is gone, the Beta(s) will take over. If the Beta(s) are gone, the Delta's will take over.
And yes if you are A Beta or Delta, you will have to know how to control a pack, so watch your Alpha to observe what they do incase an emergency occurs.
