Joining a Tribe
When you first join UtESG, you will post in the joining section. There you will post in one of the subboards, for which tribe you want to be (there is also a spot there for Rogues). There will also be a spot for Auditions (Ex: Tribe Emporer/Empress). Tribe members can only be excepted by the that Tribe leader, and Auditions can only be excepted by me the admin (Lucky).
Tribe Rules and Respect
Obey your Tribe leader and Deputy as much as your character allows. They act as Moderators on the OOC part of the site, so anything they say OOC goes. If a Tribe Leader tells you to stop something, stop it. Also, follow the Tribe Rules IC as much as your character allows. We allow rebels, traitors, and spies, but do not do anything drastically against the rules.
Rating
Under the Endless Sea's Guidance is a General RP. Some parts may be considered mature, but only in the violence and language department. Minimum swearing and violence is accepted. Sex and sexual activities is not. Threads will be closed and members warned if they include that in any of their posts.
Post Length, Grammar, and RP Level
For the sake of welcoming as many members as we can, UtESG is not an advanced RP site. But we do have rules. NO post should be a one-liner. Write something decent that someone else can reply to. We also do not allow 'netspeak' which is 'u', 'r', '@', etc. If netspeak is found in any thread, it will be asked to be changed. And thirdly, posts should be in third person. Third person is talking about your character like you're telling a story about them. Example: "Whisperstar crouched in the long grass." Is third person. A BAD example would be "I walked along the road and I found a mouse."
Fighting/Raising in Rank
First off, fighting IS allowed in UtESG. And is actually encouraged. Fighting adds more suspence and drama. When fighting, God-moding, power playing, auto hits, etc is NOT allowed. Meaning your character must take a few hits, and suffer for it. No cat can come away from a fight totally unscathed. If your are fighting and neither cat wants to lose, and the fight goes on forever, either contact your Tribe Leader or Whisperstar and they will decide the winner and stop the fight (winner will be based various things, such as experience of the character, hits taken, age, etc.)
As far as rank changing goes, it usually doesn't happen by fighting. The Tribe leader appoints the Deputy. But if the Deputy or Tribe leader dies or is driven off, the next cat will rise in rank. Cats can plan ambushes and such to drive off or kill other cats in their own Tribe, if they're devious and careful enough. Any hint or notion that a cat is a traitor, though, could result in being kicked out of the Tribe.
When fighting to kill, an OOC agreement MUST be made between the killer and the victim. You CANNOT, and I repeated CANNOT kill a character if they don't want to be killed. Simply message each other privately to arrange an agreement of being killed in a fight, and make sure to tell Whisperstar about it so she can approve.
Rogues
If you choose the life as a Rogue, you will 'live' in The Abandoned Farm; a place outside Tribe territory where Rogues hang out. As of yet, there is no heirarchy or rules on the Farm. Cats fight and eat to stay alive. But the Farm is under anyones paw. If a rogue who is liked starts a band, and becomes leader, they can do whatever they want to the Farm. Will they make it their own Tribe of Rogues? Will they form raids and steal from Tribe territories? The Abandoned Farm is a free place that can be molded any way the cats desire, which gives it such a free reign.
Posting
If you have more than one character, you have two choices. 1. You can have numerous characters on one account, and you MUST HAVE DIFFERENT COLORS FOR EACH CHARACTER. If you do this, PLEASE also post each characters colors in your signature! Choice 2. Create new accounts for each character, as long as you can keep each character active!
Posting Rule: Your Character can only be in one place at one time UNLESS you are a Tribe Leader accepting Tribe members. If I see someone other than a Tribe Leader in two places at the same time, they will be notified and action will be taken.
Birthing Rules
As stated on the bottom, you must wait 3 real life days for the kits to be born. I (Lucky) will choose the genders, number, and whether or not any are still born or not. I will also choose colors, but they will be based on the parents' color.
Acts of Treason
Otherwise known as betrayal. And yes, it is allowed on UtESG. What better to disrupt Tribe life then have a member of a different Tribe be accepted into an enemy Tribe, become a part of Tribe life, then betray them? Of course, the consequences on the Tribe in which the cat is from is unknown - it is suggested that if a Tribe plans to do this, they are strong and ready for a battle.
Thanks to BotW for these rules!

If your charries mate, you must wait 3 real life days for your kits to be born. If you don't, you will be warned (possibly banned, depending on other warning you have).
The code to make sure you have read these rules is: The Evil Tiger!
Enjoy!
