__RULES__

[♥ Misery ♥]

General

• Be respectful to other players - no raciest or sexist comments. Fighting OOC can get you banned.
  
• Staff get last word - any fighting will lead to a ban
  
• Please refrain from one liners =]
  
• Try to use correct grammar, and spelling. (Everyone makes mistakes, that’s why the spell check is there though.)
  
• Please no mythical, out of the ordinary horses. Aka - don't make a purple polka-dot Pegasus(although that would be a funny sight).
  
• Power playing and god-modding is forbidden.
  
• You can have as many characters as you want, as long as you can keep them active.
  
• You can only have 1 lead stallion. The rest can be beta or a herd stallion.
  
• When two people are rping together, and you want to join please ask first. Don't just barge into a thread that already has 2 rpers. Just ask first.

Makes a poem describing the mare he wants to steal if the stag of the mare guesses right then the stealer loses. (i.e. She is beautiful like the rising sun. Her coat gleams in broad daylight. After I take her, she will be mine forever. Return she will not, because She will love me. After she is mine… In this case, the females name is obviously Shara because the first letters are underlined. When you are doing it for real however, you want to make it hard so no bold letters.) you can do this or you can choose to fight for her. if the lead stag does not reply in 7 days then the stealer may get the mare

You also may fight, each fighter gets 3 attacks and 3 defenses. use them wisely. mods or admins will decide the winner by your attacks and your muse and description in the posts
