Yes it looks like a lot, but it's not as much as it could be. You don't have to read them, but it might be of help to you.
1. There are only five basic dragon colors: gold, bronze, brown, blue and green. There are no black, purple, red or evil dragons allowed here. No sport dragons either. The basic five colors of dragons are all that will be permitted, unless I get a very very good player who I think disserves something even more rare then a queen and then I /may/ consider another Ruth.
2. Golds Impress to women, bronzes Impress to men, end of story.
3. AIVAS was not discovered, so Thread still falls on Pern and the Holderfolk still rely on dragons and their riders to keep Thread out of the sky. Which is very good for us. There were no Long Intervals.
4. All new personas must be submitted for approval, including NPCs that will be here for very long.
5. Leave of Absence (LOA): If you are going to be away from your computer for more than a week, you must post a LOA notice to the list. That lets everyone you might be posting with know that you can't reply. If you are leaving for more than a month, please consider temporarily having your characters step down from any ranking positions. By having a high rank, people expect you to post, and if you can't maintain your posting minimums, its not fair to those who rely on your ranking character. If you leave for more than two months without announcing LOA, you risk expulsion from the group as I do not wish to have just entirely nonactive members.
6. Posting Requirements: If you get a persona who has a good deal of rank you will be expected to be active. If you are not active you will be warned and if you do not make an attempt to get active or respond with a reason you will have two weeks before you will be demoted and given another warning. If after another two week you can get your posting up reinstating you original rank will be considered, but if you do not then there will be no chance of you getting it back without going through the normal process.
7. Posing: DO NOT use other people's personae without their permission. You may approach someone else's persona, or speak to them, but don't assume anything. This includes small, innocuous actions. In the MUSHs and MOOs and such, its called "posing". No saying, "Jeffrey placed a hand on her cheek tenderly" if Jeffrey isn't your persona. UNLESS you have explicit permission from the persona's owner, of course. This rule applies in ALL situations, to ALL characters, and ALL dragons or pets.
8. Searchriders: Search dragons may be blue, green, and very rarely, brown. No bronze or golds may be Search dragons. These will not be to needed as unless we just get an overload of candidates or some such you will be allowed to just create candidates.
9. Pets: We restrict the pets any given persona may have. Pernese view animals as practical partners that serve a practical purpose. All animals are of a practical nature. The Ancients had no reason to breed impractical animals. Felines, canines, runners, and Firelizard are the main pets. If you'd like a different kind of pet, contact the me and I will consider it. ALL pets must be roleplayed, or they will become plot or dragon fodder, and yes firelizards are included. Also no one may have more then three pets altogether this is why there are only three places for a pet in the application and user info. The only exception to the being played is a Runner and that is because they will be put into the stables for anyone to use unless you specifically want to keep them and not give them up to the Weyr, then you will be expected to play them.
10. Disputes: Any member disputes must be brought to my attention. I can't fix a problem if I don't know there is one.
11. Please obey the 13 turn old sister rule, meaning if you wouldn’t want your 13 turn old sister seeing it don’t post it. If I see any such thing posted it will be deleted and you will be warned. If it happens again you will be demoted. If it happens a third time your account will be deleted.
