Roleplaying is how you will be contributing to the plot on this website.
There are two kinds of role playing, one is 1st person, the other is 3rd person.
1st person is when you take one of your characters and relate to them with the words "i" instead of "she/he". In other words, you become the character and write like it was something you did.
Example:
I crept, as low to the ground as i could hold, my stomach nearly lying ontop of the leaves underneath me. The sweet scent of the wood mouse drifted through air and i quickly breathed it's tasty aroma. Then as fast as my legs would let me, i pounced ontop of the mouse and killed it in a single blow to the throat.
3rd person you write as if you were telling a story abut someone other than you. Using words such as "she/he" and the name of your character.
Example:
Spottedpelt crept, as low to the ground as she could, her stomach nearly lying ontop of the leaves underneath her. The sweet scent of the wood mouse drifted through air and she quickly breathed it's tasty aroma. Then as fast as Spottedpelts legs would let her, she pounced ontop of the mouse and killed it in a single blow to the throat.
Please clarify your characters name in each post if you write in 3rd person (which will be anyone with more than one character).
Important Pointer:
Also, there is no godmoding. Godmoding is when your character can't seem to get hurt. Be realistic, no player wants an opponent that can dodge everything and won't be defeated. The admin will set a poll in which other players (not the ones fighting) will vote who will win, either that or the admin will decide, or if only two or three characters are fighting, they have the option of deciding themselves by rping.
Length: This is important, it doesn't help other members on the site if you post a reply that is only one sentence, or even three.
The absolute minimum a thread should be is four. But only if you don't have much to say. If you have something important to post, something interesting, etc than i don't want you focusing on how long your post should be. Your post should be satisfy you.
Falling Inlove:
I know it adds an exiting gesture to the story when two cats fall inlove.
The only thing i won't let any members do is fall inlove quickly. Speaking realistically, do any people have one or two conversations with a cat and then fall inlove. No. To fall inlove you need to know the cat, understand it and adventually, and sometimes withought realizing it you are inlove. Falling inlove is an action, not a state or noun. So spend some time getting to know the cat first.
OOC:
ooc stands for "out of character" and is used in story threads when needed.
If it something very simple such as:
Spottedtail said and waited for Foxtail to reply.
One might not understand what the member posting this thread meant, becuase you have no idea what Spottedtail said. If something like this happens you can write on your reply to a thread:
ooc: What did Spottedtail say?
and then continue to the rest of your reply
Foxtail spun around and faced Spottedtail, looking at her questioningly.
Then you might want to start with adding a new character is so your post can be longer.
Badgerfur shook herself lightly, the dust and debris that had covered her during her nap fluttered off and landed beside her. Stretching quickly she stood up as Spottedtail and Foxtail began to talk. Trotting over, making sure they knew someone was coming she made her way over to the clearing where they stood.

Important Pointer:
- You write your own characters moves. You may type anything about what your opponent does. It is disrespectful to the member(s) playing the other characters [which would be known as "power-playing"].
For and example:
Incorrect: Spottedpelt sprang up at full force and pummeled Blackpaw to the ground, keeping him to down and making sure he was unable to move.
