CONFRONTATiON ! fighting 01. Fights can happen anywhere over anything. 02. There is no particular way a fight can happen. You can do any combination of posts, attacks, or dodges, so long as it is fair. However, we do ask that you keep the odds realistic. Take into account the height and weight of each opponent--a Dachshund can't bowl over a Mastiff, and a Chihuahua can't break a wolf's leg between its teeth. 03. All fights which do not have predetermined ends (where both the members agree beforehand on the outcome) must be judged. Once the fight is finished and ready to be judged, please post in the Fight Notification board. You may choose a specific staff member to judge a fight if you wish, or you can just see who takes it first. 04. You will receive 5 pawprints for simply being in a fight, and 10 if you win. 05. Items cannot be equipped or used during a fight. If you have armor you wish to wear during the fight, put it on before. Potions/bandages cannot be used until the combat has ended. 06. Yes, alphas can be challenged. A new alpha will have two weeks immunity from challenges. A pre-existing alpha who has just won against a challenge has one week of immunity. claiming / challenging for lands 01. You may only claim lands as a pack. Which means that if you are a loner, you cannot claim a land. If you are a member of a pack, you can't claim a land and it belong only to you. The alpha must have a desire to claim the land and give the word for the pack to claim it. The land then belongs to the pack, not just a single wolf. 02. A pack may only claim two lands in one IC year. There is no set length of time required between claiming each land. This rules does not apply toward the first land claimed by a pack for their headquarters. That claim is considered 'free.' 03. When trying to claim a land, the pack making the claim must post a thread with (at least three) members of their pack scoping out the land. This thread should have [CLAIM] in the title, and will stay up for three days. If no opposing pack makes a move to confront the claim, then the land is claimed. 04. If you wish to confront a claim, you must bring an equal or greater amount of pack members to the claim thread. 05. When an opposing pack moves to confront a claim, the claim then becomes a skirmish. Characters will pair off and each have an individual fight. Each fight will be judged separately. Whichever pack has the most wins, after the skirmish is over and judged, will get the land. If it's a tie, then the claim is completely negated and neither pack gets it. The claim may be attempted again after a minimum of three days. 06. Once you claim a land, you may do what you will with it. You have complete power over who comes and goes, but be prepared to fight for it. While we don't allow members to completely rewrite a land's description, we greatly encourage that you add on or modify certain things to make it your own. Such as having discovered a creek that runs through the land, or the pack having dug a large den, etc. Simply send a staff member a message and they can modify the description as necessary. 07. Newly claimed lands have four days of immunity. Lands that no longer have immunity may be challenged for at any time. Simply post a thread with however many members you think it will take to win the skirmish, and put [CHALLENGE] in the title. 08. If you are outmatched in a challenge skirmish then you have the choice to either fight, and possibly have some of your members fighting two opponents instead of one-on-one, or you can surrender and leave without harm. Those who surrender may leave in peace, the opposing pack is forbidden to chase and harm them. 09. If a challenge is not accepted within three days, the land owner forfeits and the challenger wins by default. 10. Monopolies (when one pack owns most or all lands) are allowed, but you had better be able to defend your territory. 11. You may request immunity on a certain land at any time. Simply post in the Contact The Staff board with the reason, and a staff member will look it over. A few example reasons would be because a female in your pack just gave birth and their den is in that land, or a pack member was injured and cannot move easily from one land to another. If you think it is reasonable, chances are, we will too. 12. When you claim/challenge and win a land your pack will receive 30 pawprints for your pack fund.
