A C C E P T E D!! Congratulations, your wolf has been accepted! Welcome to Yellowstone National Park! Please make sure you head over and post in the name claim, then maybe head over and set up a plotter or tracker! Because Dex is going to take on the role of Alpha in the Cougar Creek pack, I ask that before going and posting, please go fill out the 'Pack Documentation' board. In it you will need a hierarchy (the current ranks of the pack), the packs rank defintion, an update thread, and finally a set of rules for the pack. If you need any other information, you are welcome to go re-read the claiming rules or check out how I set up the Grand Canyon pack with Esperanza! Welcome to the forum, DEXEROUS , hope you enjoy your stay! (:

We understand that it can sometimes be hard to keep track, especially when multiple people are advertising! For affiliates, the only thing we ask is that our button is on your forum first and we will place you in the same position you place us! So, if we are in static, you're in static and vice versa for scrolling. Our static is above the shoutbox and scrolling underneath the shoutbox.

We are only offering two packs to start with, but more can be added as time goes on! Cougar Creek Pack; ✗ These wolves make up one of the largest packs around. They are mostly black wolves but other colors are always welcome. ✗They mainly eat elk and blacktail deer. ✗Their pack makes it's home next to the Yellowstone River and have plenty of prey all year round. They also have the Blacktail Plateau claimed. ✗All Alpha ranks are currently filled. The Cougar Creek Pack is ruled by apply.
Grand Canyon Pack ✗This is the smallest of the wolf packs at the moment. Wolves can be any color ranging from black to solid white. ✗Though they are small, they are tough bison hunters, capable of catching any kind of prey that roams. ✗They make their home in and around Yellowstone's Grand Canyon. They also have claims in the Buffalo Plateau. ✗All Alpha ranks are currently filled. The Grand Canyon Pack is ruled by Esperanza .

Claiming ✗The packs claiming will be first come first serve. At this point in time no one can create a pack from scratch as they are from the actual real-life reserve, though more may/may not be created in the future as the forum grows. When it comes to claiming, all you have to do is create that character with the idea of claiming the land. For example, if I wanted my wolf to claim a land, I would create her bio as her being the Alpha. I would need to include her growing up, how she found the land, why she wants to start a pack, and why she chose this specific area. More information on word count, details, and all that will be found in the joining application. ✗Wolves must be at least three years old to claim a land. ✗Once the land is yours, you will be given a pack sub-board under the category "Pack Documentation" and you will keep track of current updates, ranks and the wolves who have them, rank description, and the packs rules.
Challenging ✗Any pack leader can be challenged for their position. The challenge must be judged by a staff member. The winner of the fight will get to choose if the loser is banished or kept at the lowest rank available. ✗Once the battle is won by whatever character, the pack will have a full season immunity which is three real life weeks. ✗Challenges may be held within the pack by the Alpha to move up in the ranks. However, both the Alpha and a staff member must judge the fight to prevent favoritism. They will then discuss who the victor will be.
Judging You will be judged on the following. Each of the five categories is worth 10 points. Whomever adds up to the most points in the end will be your victor. ✗Attacks; How realistic were your attacks on the other wolf? Were you playing along to what your wolf is capable of doing? Are you powerplaying or leaving the result wide open? ✗Defending; Are you being fair and not dodging every attack? Is your wolf physically capable of getting out of the attack that is being thrown at you? Are your dodges realistic? ✗Quality; Is it easy or semi-easy for the readers to understand the attack/defense your wolf is trying to get through? Are you avoiding power-playing, god-modding, and all the other prohibited types of role-playing? ✗Battle Wounds; Are you being fair on how your wolf can perform with the calculated injuries? (Ex. Are you trying to scratch the opponent when you have a shattered front leg?) ✗Overall Health; Is your wolf even healthy enough to do the actions you are having them do? Are they suffering from a heart condition and trying to fight by running and dodging?

Plot
Nov 27, 2014 2:21:29 GMT
Post by Athena on Nov 27, 2014 2:21:29 GMT
Wolves of Yellowstone does not have a strictly given plot. It was created on the idea of Yellowstone reserve's series of wolf packs and how they are constantly forming new ones and then fighting to keep the land they have claimed. Yellowstone is a rather large place, enough to have three large rising packs and a series of small ones. The lives of the wolves revolves around creating a family, joining/creating a pack, and protecting them all while trying to survive. You may even end up as a loner trying to scavenge what little you can find. Therefore, the only plot we have is to get your wolf a home/family and protect it with their lives, though you may have as many mini-plots as you would like. We might even have a whole site-wide event soon.

Character Guidelines ✗All characters must be wolves. They can be wolf hybrids such as mixed with other wolf breeds but no dog/wolf, coyote/wolf or anything such as that. The wolves have been bred and released into the reserve, they have not been taking from the wild and placed there. ✗Characters must be realistic. Furs, patterns, eyes ect. There can be no fantasy or supernatural elements. ✗We do not have a store for special items yet, but might in the future. ✗All wolves will age a year in the spring. Pups will age 3 months every season to get them up to playing age quicker. (Example - puppy born in spring. Summer - 3 months old. Fall - 6 months old. Winter - 9 months old and able to be placed up for adoption and no longer an NPC.) ✗Continuing from above, pups will be considered NPC characters until they reach 9 months but will be able to be put up for adoption right after birth. Pups that aren't adopted by separate role-players will have to die out. ✗Before you can role-play your application must be approved by staff. ✗You may not create a character under the age of two or a pregnant character. ✗A wolves history must involve either being born into the reserve or if you have a character over 8, they must have memories of being in a small zoo-like sanctuary and then transferred to the reserve. ✗Once your application is accepted it will be locked so no drastic changes to be made. If you would like to keep a time-line of events you may do so in your characters log or tracker. ✗Breeding season is strictly Winter and birthing is done in the Spring. ✗Only wolves 3 years and up may breed. ✗Mini-profiles must be completely filled out (image wise) before your characters bio will be accepted.

The Basic Rules ✗I know, this rule is so basic and probably annoying, but please respect everyone. From the longest staff to the newest guest. Everyone wants to be respected. ✗Our activity rate on WOY is at least one post every 5 days. If you feel you are going to be gone for more than a week, please just leave a note in the leaving board! It will help to let us know if you are simply away due to life problems or gone because you no longer wish to be on our forum. Missing an activity check with no note in the leaving board will result in a PM'ed warning and then if a week goes by without a reply you will be deleted. Of course, you can always return! ✗We are a one account per character forum. In other words, every character should have its own account. I'm aware it's not the most fun thing to do, but if you check out the bottom of your page to the right there are three symbols in white bar. If you click the one that has two people and an arrow, it will bring you to a switch user screen with all your accounts. It's that simple! If you need further explanation, please PM Athena! ✗Due to Proboards rules, you must be 13+ to join the forum. ✗Because of younger participants and Proboards rules you may not post anything above PG-13 content. In a thread or any other board of the forum please fade to black. ✗Wolves of Yellowstone is a semi-realistic role-play based on the lives of the wolf packs that exist there. We will not allow characters to have wings, horns, telepathic abilities, or any other supernatural/fantasy talent. They can only be the "boring" kind of wolves. If you want such things, we may not be the forum for you! ✗No godmodding, power-playing, metagaming, or mary/gary sues. If you feel you need to be cleared up on the meanings of these terms, PM a staff, we are happy to help! ✗Due to some people only doing a few sentences, we have a word count of 250 words. It's sweet and pretty easy to reach, but we do ask that you try to level it with the person you are role-playing with. If the person wrote out a beautiful 600 word post, it might be a little discouraging if you reply with 250 words. ✗We do allow liquid time and a no character limit. You can post as much as you want, with as many characters as you like, but if it gets out of control and threads/characters are constantly being neglected, restrictions will be placed. ✗The chatbox is a privileged, not a given! Absolutely no impersonating, advertising, or flat out being rude. ✗If a thread is not posted in for two weeks it will be moved to the archives and the role-players PM'ed. If at any point they would like to have it returned to the action, just PM a staff and they will move it back to it's original placing. ✗All graphics/photos must have credits on the image/under the table/photo, and be under the Creative Common license. If anyone is caught stealing it's an immediate ban. ✗You may have templates, signatures, and other things but make sure they do not stretch the board. Please try and keep the dimensions from exceeding 500x500. ✗Loners may roam anywhere they like. Though if they are in pack lands, the Alpha/Beta or whomever is in the high ranks may enter a closed thread to take authority. ✗All wolves that wish to join a pack must meet with that pack Alpha on a pack land and ask permission to join, discuss a rank, and so on. You may put the pack name in your wolves joining biography, but they will be considered a loner until they thread with the Alpha and are accepted IC.
