The New Hope Clutch is hatching! And to everyone's surprise a White has spilled onto the sands after the combined help of the candidates freed it! To top it all off a huge pride of felines is attacking the Weyr during the Hatching! Will all the babies survive? What about the people and Dragons of the Weyr? So far one Bronze has been killed, and Hikari has nearly been murdered herself by the blood thirsty cats, only escaping by pure luck!
This, is Maori Weyr. The home of the last few left behind after the great Evacuation, and the few who will not forget their ties to the old world, Earth. Will you join our ranks? Or flee back North, where comfort and the security of many Weyrs lies.
(OOC Note: The Staff team is currently revamping the informational forums, so some of the info forums will be empty for a while. While this happens though the site will remain open and the old information threads will remain up until the revamp is 100% complete. However, if the information you are looking for is in the newer sections of the board please refer to that for your information instead of the older versions.)

GENERAL RULES
Welcome to Maori. We encourage all the RPing that you can imagine but there are just a few things. First off, the rules. Read them, memorize them, burn them into you brain. Violations can result in stiff penalties. Some of them may seem binding but they are necessary and it is easy to follow them and still have fun. So, read on!
1) This is a third-person, literate RP. Meaning, excessive spelling/grammar errors are highly looked down upon. There are such things as dictionaries. Use them! If you still have trouble, PM an Admin or post in the help forum. We are only too happy to lend a hand. Or keyboard in this case.
2) You may not force anyone to RP with you. Likewise, you may not force someone to RP something they do not want to or feel comfortable RPing. This is a suspendable and bannable offense.
3) Please be discreet. None of us want to read a particularly graphic scene, especially if it adult in nature. There are specific forums for that.
4) Keep the use of specific four-letter words to a minimum (AKA, cuss words). If it is absolutely necessary for the post, it will be allowed. But if they are over-used or we (the Admins) feel this trust is being abused, said post will be deleted and you will be warned.
5) DO NOT GOD MODE!!! A person created a character, andhey are perfectly capable of RPing them.
Suspendable Offenses
Excessive swearing Forcing RPs God-moding Overly graphic posting in non-mature forums
Bannable Offenses
Continuous God-moding (seriously. Don't do it.) Excessive swearing after a warning Having multiple accounts (we can find out. Don't test us) Harassment Art theft Character theft
Warnable Offenses
Use of l337, chat or text speak in EXCESSIVE and UNNEEDED amounts. (zero tolerance. You will be warned. Don't make us tell you twice.) Creating a "cookie-cutter" character (make them interesting.) Having a Mary Sue character (for more info, PM an Admin) Being illiterate and not doing a thing about it
Do's -Have fun in your RPing. This is for entertainment. The least you can do is enjoy it. -Make the RPs interesting. Throw in humor or a plot twist. -Some examples are wrestling matches, burning a finger, getting run over by a rabid donkey, races, games of tag, hunting snipes, twisting an ankle while running to make a doctor's appointment, etc.
Don'ts -Make a life-changing plot without Admin approval. -Be excessively vulgar or sexual in any forums other than the mature forums. -Take control of other people's characters (aka, God-modding) -Take control of a plot. Let others react as they choose.
Character Rules
Character Rules and Regulations
-DO NOT COPY CHARACTERS! -Any and all characters must be approved before play can begin. -All profiles must follow the submission forms given. Your char will not be approved until then. -Remember, there are no deformed Candidates. They cannot be blind, missing a limb, mute, paralyzed, etc. -If a character is a ranker (aka Bronze, Gold, Weyrling Master, ect.) you must play them consistently. -If you wish to have a ranking character, play often and play well. Literacy counts. -Make your character interesting. A sweet tooth or quick temper. The more original and different, the better chances of having a fun RP. -There is a limit on characters depending on post count. This will be elaborated on later. -There is a limit of three candidates per person.
Pets
-Take your character's rank into consideration. A servant will not have a Stallion and a Lord or a King will not have something like a duck. If they train horses then they most likely will own a horse. -Please no more than two pets per character. You have to RP them. (Pets attained through roleplay are different) -If you have any questions about what can or cannot be a pet, ask a Mod.
If you have any questions regarding any of these regulations, ask a Mod. These are made to make the RPing easier and more organized and so we do not have an flooding of candidate characters who will accept nothing less than a bronze or a queen of any species. Make your character interesting. Mary Sue's and Billy Bob's get boring very fast.
Character Limits
All players start out with the ability to have four Weyr characters and two Hold/Hall characters. After two months of relatively good activity levels (posting, being active with the site, etc.) then you'll be free to make as many characters as you can handle. If you go on a sudden character making spree though we may ask you to slow down and put some of your characters on hold until a later time.
Signature Rules
1. Everyone must have links to their character profiles in their signatures. This makes things easier on everyone when we can get to a profile easily while RPing. No one wants to get a description or trait wrong when playing with a char. This is required. For help on links, see the BB Coding Help topic.
2. The sigs cannot stretch the boards.
3. A sig pic cannot be overly tall. 300 pixels is the recommended limit, but it can be taller, so use your judgment. If it is overly tall, you will hear from us (us being, Eyo and I). But if you don't, you're fine.
When posting stuff not related to characters, please use your judgment again. DeviantArt profile links are fine, as they are your art. But I do not want to see links to other sites that could be harmful to our Weyr and the members. This includes but is DEFINITELY NOT limited to: Porn (just...no. You will be banned.) Political Affiliations (we don't want that sort of conflict among members) YouTube Videos (some are downright nasty) Religious Adds (again, don't want conflict)
Basically, if a site can be deprecating to one's mental health, don't use it in a sig. Things like "Dragon Cave" and "Hatch my Pokemon" are fine, though. Things like "Looking for a good time?" are not. Just don't. You'll be warned, and if it's not off within a reasonable amount of time, you WILL be banned. End of story.
Seasons
This section is more of an informative area than a place for rules.
Please see the Weather thread for more information.
If you have any questions about these, PM Eyota, Sivoriana, RDSR, or Bahgera with them and we will answer them as best we can.
