(Aiséirigh is here to have a fun enjoyable safe time while letting imagination run wild about horses)
Common Courtesy:
Site Workings:
- One Season equals four weeks. Four seasons equal one full site year.
- Breeding is Summer
- Birthing is Spring
- Updates will be given often. Activity checks Bi-monthly
- There will be a Mobile update area that ALL things in banner tabs and/or sidebars will be posted. (knowing on mobile devices do not display the whole site we hope you appreciate this courtesy)
- Constant member activity, games and contests will be striven for
- 90% realistic because the earth/world's continents have shifted to accommodate all horse/equine breeds. One may also buy unnaturally shaped markings for their characters and make them passable. As well as non-equine companions
- Breeding/fertility, health and stealing stats are in affect on this site
- All equine species are playable here
- Aiséirigh has the element of humans, they are NPCs only (less purchased).
- Roundups - is a special event we have here. And NO it does not cut off your ability to play your characters. (its optional)
- Southern Region is specifically for captured horses after Roundup living in Human civilization
- Mother Nature account is in Affect here. Add MN to a thread name to specifically ask for Mother Natures presence, otherwise it happens at random.
- Penalties and Fines are reinforced here.
- Site surprises and disasters of any sort may happen at anytime
- Round ups are every two site years
- Sugar Cubes(SCs) are earned by IC and Academy posting only. (yes you actually have to work to get them)
Characters:
- Created Characters are realistic in color, breeds/species, heights, eyes, markings and/or anything else
- Any character created over 16hh will have to be purchased. Max allowed is 20, no minimum.
- No Hybrid-crosses are to be created (zebra/horse or donkey/horse, etc)
- Characteristics of the horse will be compared to the breeds chosen for character. (ex. 13hh tobiano chestnut will not be accepted for a purebred friesian) Heights will be averaged from the heights of each breed.
- Nothing under the age of 1 or a Pregnant mare will be accepted
- Basic Stats will be given to Characters upon acceptance and expected to be added to character logs.
- Accessories must be bought before creation
- Rare markings and color goofs that happen in real life may be created. (non-passable to foals)
- No character can be created for the Southern Region. (must be captured or special event)
- Personalities and Histories may reflect off of a past with humans
- Do not create a Character Log or add a character till AFTER first character has been accepted.
- Upon acceptance Mares are to post a short thread in the claiming Boards, then free to post anywhere after such.
- Characters live in specific Regions and can not change easily
Breeding/Foaling:
- Characters are fertile by age of 2 (successful conception is low till age of 3)
- 2yr old Fillies foal spring of age 3
- Force-Breeding does not happen to wild horses, BUT for sake of plot-fun reasons, mares maybe pressured by undesirable stallions into mating.
- Heat/Estrus affects EVERY mare less there is something physically/chemically messed up
- Stallions are given a max amount of mares to breed each season (only successful breeding of a multiple bred mare will count)
- Mares are give a max number of foals they may have for a life time
- Breeding/Foaling threads may happen anywhere BUT must be linked to in the Breeding/Foaling boards to officially happen.
- Foals will be considered stillborn if link to birthing thread is not posted accordingly
- A mare may breed multiple stallions in one season. (Dice will be rolled for the happy father)
- Naturally occurring Twins count towards a mares Foals per Lifetime (less bought)
- Store bought twins/triplets will NOT be stillborn, poor health yes, stillborn no
- Mares and stallions have to post their stats separately by each member that plays them to get foal stats. (specify how many studs serviced a mare if multiple)
- Possible deformities and health problems may occur
- Given Birthing Ease/Difficulty is take serious, if it is seen in a thread that a mare has no problem foaling when the Difficulty was put at high, foal health stats can/will be changed OR a Fine will be given.
Steals/Challenges:
- Steals and Challenges happen here, not Battles
- They may happen anywhere upon site, for official judgement and records, threads must be posted in steal board
- Steals are on the go and quick (quick scoring and judging for quick results)
- Age, sizes, experience and basic grammar points are used
- Steals are used for stealing up to one Mare and Foal pair at a time (StealX2 maybe bought)
- Double steal maybe put in affect IF Defense stallion wants to try to steal back while protecting the original characters being stolen.
- Mares within a band or outside of a band may steal foals from each other. (mares get desperate after having a stillborn) Works like a regular steal
- Challenges work roughly the same as steals, BUT you are stealing half to a whole band from another stallion.
- Lead Mare Challenges - Yes if you want it to be judged, Mares within a Band may fight over lead position if lead stallion doesn't want to but in. Post in the Challenge board and whomever the judge chooses, wins the position.
- All characters start with a 0 experience level, it improves with every steal/challenge given
- More explained on boards
Bands/Bachelors/Rogues/Ranking System:
- Aiséirigh is a Band set up. Meaning it only takes one stallion paired/claiming one mare to officially make a band
- A Band Log MUST be created the Moment after successfully claiming a first Mare
- Mares may successful resist 3 claim attempts before being given 2 weeks of Rogue Status
- Rogue Mares may not be claimed while entitled to this status
- Queen Rogues are the only mares allowed to claim other mares
- All Stallions/Geldings are a Bachelor till they claim their first mare.
- Rank of Bands - For each Region there is 1 King band, a Few Royal bands and Regular Bands.
- Band Ranks are pure determined by Band Activity. A high numbered and active band will have greater chance of making King Band compared to a lesser numbered and inactive band
- Band Ranks come with IC and OOC perks, besides bragging rights.
- Warning - Roundups and completely destroy Bands, so be on your toes.
- Beta stallions are obtainable
- Betas and Lead Mares are Defense only, no steal making or claims
- Lead Mares have alot of power within a Band
- More explained here
Regions:
- There are 4 IC Regions, North, East, West and South
- Only Wild characters can access North, East and West
- Captured characters are stuck in the South
- Being Captured is the only way to enter the South (foals may be born here)
- South is where humans are colonized in various groups and use horses for travel, work, pleasure and/or possibly food.
- Region Jumping - Characters can NOT just go from one region to another. They are thousands of miles wide across each region with barriers or troublesome landscapes inbetween.
- Region Jumps are the only way to change what region your character lives in. (besides the South)
- RJs are self dice rolled situations that each character will endure. Damage is expected to be taken.
- Each region is unique and different in its own way
Academy:
- School is in... Sorta
- The Academy is where members help each other to learn more about horses/equines and/or learn to be better writers
- Members may become Teachers and give lessons on either writing skills or on any type of horse topic one can think of.
- Teachers get a special lounge
- Arts are taught here too if people would like
- The Academy is a very open learning outlet for people to come to.
- All color diagrams and breeds will be posted here if you want to learn about horses BEFORE creating a character.
- Need Help with something. Just Ask!
Hopefully that wasn't too boring for everyone.
