Sobibor is rolling right through to the next year! Though we've changed so much, I believe the community and spirit of this site is still as beautiful as the first few weeks it was open. Despite my incredible laziness, the hard working mods have helped make the character acception process clean and easy. Give them a pat on the back if you get a chance.

Well, I would say lots of changes are coming around. But that isn't any news. I'm usually procrastinating and thinking up weird ideas. (for instance, hokey pokey anonymous... it really is what it's all about) One important thing is that we need help making our next main plot! If you have any big ideas that can get members easily involved, please feel free to PM me. Also, I've been considering making a member congress-type thing. Bah. I barely ever go through with anything, so maybe I should form a legion of members who do them for me! Perfect. :P

Also, the Sobibor Scroll needs help! If you signed up to do something, please send it to me or at least post in the scribe shack that you won't be able to do it! I am working very hard on it, and I would appreciate the same from you guys. Thanks!

Love, Lugubrious


-plot will go here when i get off my lazy bum and make one-
MOTM: Sanura
Sanura is an amazing member who recently became a moderator. In the beginning, things must have been hard because this was her first RP site. However, she is an incredibly fast learner and within a month she was posting like a pro. She is always on and a truly kind member to all. Congrats, you really deserve it!

COTM: Shanook
RPed by: Anger/Brat/Tarb (the same person with many names!)
A lustful brute wolf who has only one true love. He rules Benstripe woods. Congrats on having such a cool wolfie tarbeh!

A Note From Ressie:
As a contest prize I won a special spot where I would be able to write what I wanted and at the moment I want you all to go here:

 The Rules // 3.26.2009

The Rules
Out of Character-
-Be kind and obey the moderators at all times. I will not hesitate to ban those who do not follow any of the below rules.
-This is a mature and advanced role-play, and if you cannot handle it, then don’t join. Really.
-A majority of us are 16 and older. If you are younger, you are welcome to join but don’t try and change the rules so you can role play. If you would like to find a safe, PG rated horse and wolf RPG, just PM Lugubrious who will gladly assist you in finding a more suitable site.
-Punishment for disobedience depends on the situation. The administration will decide if it was an accident or misunderstanding. Sometimes you get off with a warning. However, if your offense is bad enough, you could be banned forever with no trial, no warning, and no way of return.
-Mild cursing is allowed in general posts, but no dropping the F-bomb or calling names.
-If you are being harassed, DO NOT TELL THE HARASSER. PM Lugubrious (me) right away. I don’t mind whiners, but I hate people who cause drama. If you start a fight because somebody is bothering you, you are just as accountable for the fight as they are.


Posting-
-All in character posts must have four-hundred in-character words. I know this is a lot, but we have a lot of tips in the role-play school. To help add body, here are some things to include (the examples are incredibly lame and awful, but just to give you ideas):
xx. flashbacks (use italics to help people know it is flashback time)
---There was a tear in Bobby’s eye as he remembered the day he became a slave.
My mother screamed out, “Run!” But I could not leave her. She was defenseless and weak, and I, the yearling colt, was here to protect her. The tall, red stallion came upon me and there was nothing I could do anymore. Chains encased my limbs, never to be free again.
xx. descriptions of what your character looks like.
---Bobby’s coat was one of deep ebony (note: ebony is a tacky word for black… use sparingly!). Hints of blue and purple shone in the dappled moonlight that filtered down from the forest’s highest layer.
xx. weather
---Rain poured down, drenching Bobby’s sweat-covered bodice. The wind blew so hard that leaves’ tittering sounded like an ocean wave crashing upon the shoreline.
xx. mood of character
---Bobby’s gray hued maw was locked tight, he would not allow a single chord to escape its boundaries. The master’s whip lashed at his side while he cackled vindictively. But the stallion would never let any amount of physical pain be revealed to the overseer. He knew that the master’s only satisfaction was in the squeals of pain from his slaves.
xx. sounds
---All that could be heard was the shuffling of overworked hooves. Occasionally the snap of a whip would break the lull of rushed whispers and clattering feet.
xx. imagery
---Bobby bolted through the clearing, all hell breaking loose behind him. His tail flagged behind him, like a banner. There was a fire in his heart that burned still. Despite the many years of slavery, his flame had never been dimmed. His legs churched across the emerald blades as easily as a hawk’s wings cut through a brisk spring morning’s air.

-Cursing is allowed, but really go easy on it. I don’t want you guys cursing like sailors or anything
-This site is rated PG-13, so go ahead and include PG-13 concepts if you would like.
-Sobibor is an advanced site. I will not tolerate any improper spelling because of the spell check. And grammar can be overlooked a little but most members are high school age so grammar should come fairly natural.
-Please wait for posting until your character is accepted.

Lands-
-Only two lands per member. If you have more than two, please PM lugubrious for help on sorting this out. It isn’t fair to other members if you have so many lands!
-Landowners can create sub-lands in their land for betas and omegas. Just PM lugu or leave a note in the mod-box
-The password to the creation board is: read
-TO BE A LANDOWNER:
xx. charrie has to be a master or free-roamer
xx. you must be considered ‘active’, as in you post once every other week with this charrie. If your posting with that certain charrie becomes inactive, I will PM you. Within a week the land will become free for claiming.
xx. if you plan on becoming inactive for a while and have a valid excuse for inactivity, please ask one of your friends to RP your master for you while you are gone.

-ON CHALLENGES:
xx. see the challenge post

Masters-
-can be male or female
-can claim slaves
-are pro-slavery (no anti-slavery masters, they are called free roamers!)
-only one per species per member. (so two total!)
-generally, the masters are physically superior to the slaves so they can control them
-masters can have ropes, chains, etc around the slaves. Uhhmm… dunno how, but it is more entertaining so we can just pretend they can tie ropes and such.

Free Roamers-
-can be male or female
-can claim slaves
-can be either pro-slavery or anti-slavery
-as many per species as you want!
(keep in mind that only one landowning character per species is allowed, so you can’t have a master horse and a landowning free-roamer horse)

Slaves-
-can be male or female
-cannot claim slaves or lands
-they have no choice in pro or anti-slavery, however, they can try to form rebellions
-as many as you want!

Breeding-
-Graphic is allowed, but please do it either over PM or make sure nobody would read it who was unaware of the material in the post (eg: put a warning in the title or near the top of your post).
-Please, for the love of God, do not make it that every male rapes every female he sees! This is ridiculous! Don’t abuse force breeding. I allow it, but if your charrie is constantly breeding I will intercede.
-Females are generally weaker than stallions so don’t make your mare the one who always fights him off. It is clichéd and unrealistic. However, females can fight off males, just not all the time.
-A mare and stallion can have one foal per breeding. A wolf couple can have three pups per breeding.
-Mates can only have five successful breedings. Geeze, who wants 15 pups anyways? I think five is plenty. However, if you want more for a plot related reason, just ask. I’m pretty sympathetic.
-I’d prefer it if boy/boy and girl/girl couples did not happen. Really. If you have a problem with it, go elsewhere.
-To learn more about the breeding process at Sobibor, just go to the love and lust boards.
-To decide what happens to the babies, the creature of higher rank decides. If they are the same rank, the female decides.

Challenges-
-LANDS:
xx. you must be active
xx. the land must have not been posted on for three days
xx. if the defending landowner does not respond for seven days, they lose
xx. if the offending challenger does not respond for four days, they lose
-HERD MEMBERS:
xx. to steal, the offending challenger must write a riddle, and get it approved by lugubrious by PMing her the given riddle and the answer
xx. the defending challenger must reply with an answer to the riddle within four days or they lose the herdmember
xx. NOTE: the herdmember being stolen cannot be stolen if the herdmember’s role-player does not consent
-OTHER:
xx. to steal anything in general, or if a fight starts over something, ask lugu or decide the rules among yourselves.
xx. feel free to change the rules around if both challengers want it that way


Ban List-
-If enough people complain about a certain ban, I’ll probably repeal it.
-Friesian stallions. It kills me. Tall, black stallions. So incredibly clichéd that it pains me. (note: friesian mares are still allowed)
-Every member can have ONLY one horse over 17hh. Also, this horse must be either a very tall light horse breed or preferably a draft horse.

NOTE: These rules are subject to change at any given time with or without warning. So yeah. :)

NOTE TWO: The new password to the character board is in here somewhere!

-No role-playing in the CBOX (luckily that hasn't become a problem yet)

-Cursing of any kind will get you banned. Instantly. For a week.

-Please, if you feel bad in real life, don't post in the CBOX. We don't want to have all of these arguments here - it causes unnecessary trauma.
