Here is where you will find the rules on Role Playing! Make sure you follow these in case you are stuck on Role Playing!

Your Character's Bio
When you are writing your character's bio, make sure you make it nice, long and literate! Elaborate when it comes to appearance, personality, and history, the three key points of the biography. We will be looking this over and deciding whether or not it is acceptable. We will not accept Mary-Sues or Gary-Stews, no character is perfect.
We also want to limit the blood-thirsty and evil cats. ShadowClan is claimed to be evil, though they may have twisted hearts, they do not go around killing everyone. You may create rogues and loners as you like, but we do not want many blood-thirsty, gut-eating, cats running around like mad.
Posting Recommendations
We want you to put at least 100 words or one healthy paragraph of six-eight sentences in each of your posts! It is alright if you do not put that many in your posts every time, but try to make it sound good and interesting! I know a lot of people who do not want to read boring, non descriptive posts. Its Quality over Quantity though. You may write a post as long as you want or just meet the minimum, it is truly up to you.
We do not post one liner posts either! You may post one liners in the OOC area only. We want to see proper grammar, spelling, usage, and mechanics. We know everyone has their own style of writing, but at least try to use proper grammar and spelling. Proboards comes with a built-in spell check and you already have a spell check if you have Firefox.
Role Playing
Yes, when you are role playing, you can be in two places at once. This is called liquid time. You may use it as you please, but do try to state when the thread takes place compared to other threads.
No Godmodding or Powerplaying
This just simply means, do not make your cat have Godly powers[Godmodding], and do not take control of someone else's character[Powerplaying]. Also no Auto-hitting or Auto-killing. You need permission to kill off another member's character, and it is up to the other member whether the attack is successful on their character or not.
Fighting/Battles
If you are going to have a mini-battle, like say one or two cats, PM the admin(s)! They will decide weather who will win the fight or not! And do not just go around starting fights, or you will be warned and banned temporarily.
The leader of the Clan will lead you into battle unless there is a situation where the deputy has to lead the clan into battle. They will signal when to attack, most likely a war cry.
Mates and Kittens
If you are going to have a mate, make sure you find one! Please, you are allowed to have same sex couples, and gay/les/bi characters. We don't want the site to be flooded with them because there must be apprentices and kits for the clan to survive. For role playing to 'make' the kittens, you may not do that. Time skip, like --An Hour Later-- or something. Do nothing graphic if your characters are to breed. But you may do graphic for birthing if you wish to do so.
Your cat can give birth whenever, but if you want to make it realistic, wait at least a week.
Killing off Characters
If you wish to kill off your OWN character that is your own choice. Though you do have the option of putting them up for adoption.
