The Rules
Welcome to Racing For Home.. We thank you for taking the time to read a few basic rules.
General Rules
1. Please be respectful to site staff, guests and other members and do not post things which they may find to be hurtful.
2. No plagiarising – if you are posting something on this site we ask that it be your own. If you see something posted on this site which you believe to be plagiarised please inform me at marluxiahanako@hotmail.co.uk so that we can deal with this issue immediately.
3. When posting images on this site please only use stock images allowing creative commons and link back to the original artist/photographer. Failure to do this will result in the image being removed and a warning being issued. If you have permission to use a copyrighted image please message an admin who will take the time to check your claim before allowing the image to be posted.
4. When you join we ask that you post within 1 week, otherwise your account will be considered inactive and deleted. After this period we ask that you post at least once a fortnight – if you will be unable to do this please post to inform us that you will be away otherwise the account will be deleted. When an account is deleted horses will be reclaimed and sold at auction.
Horses
1. We only accept horses created for this site. They should be original horses and not copied from a game or real life. However, we do allow the use of images of real racehorses to portray the horse, as long as it is not in breach of copyright.
2. Horses should be created using the provided form. An admin will then check it over and provide you with genetic information or inform you of any issues with the form.
3. Dual surfaced horses cannot be created – they must be bred or purchased at auction. Dual surfaced horses may also be prizes in competitions.
4. All horses on this site are thoroughbreds.
5. Horses should be aged at the beginning of each game year.
Breeding
1. Horses cannot be bred until they are at least four years of age.
2. When you breed your horse an admin will provide you with basic stats, including genetics. You should then create the foal using the given stats.
3. Twins are very rare but will occasionally be given out. Please do not request twins.
Racing
1. A single race can have a maximum of 12 horses in the field and a minimum of 2.
2. You can enter up to two horses in each race, though if there is a lack of entrants you may be able to make extra entries.
3. For now, all races are being judged by staff members. In the future we may change this to allow members to judge races.
Roleplaying
1. We are not solely a SIM but also an RP. As such, we ask that you post in character at least once per fortnight.
2. We have a minimum limit of 100 words per post, but ask that you aim above this mark in all IC posts.
3. Horses are NPCs. You can control them in your IC posts, but as an outside influence not from the perspective of the horse.
4. No power playing or god moding. It's annoying and will mean that no one wants to RP with you.
5. Have fun, stay in character, and remember to keep posts PG 13 in accordance with proboards terms of service.
