Alpha Requirements

1. An Alpha must post at least five times in a seven day week. None of these posts can be in a thread solely with their own characters, but must instead be interacting with other player's characters for the whole of the thread for the posts to count.


2. Players of Alphas are expected to remain active or risk losing their pack. All alpha activity must be edited into the alpha activity thread by 11:59 pm Ardent time (PST) on Monday or will not be counted.


3. Activity checks will be done on Tuesdays. The new week's posts must be done after the time stamp on the previous alpha check unless the check has not been completed by noon on Tuesday. In the event that it has not been completed by noon Ardent time on Tuesday, all posts from Tuesday on will be counted.


4. Alphas are required to keep five followers (not including the alpha, pups under the age of 1, slaves/prisoners, or any characters played by the alpha's player) in their pack at all times to meet minimum standards. This checked at the same time as the alpha activity check and packs failing to meet minimum risk losing their pack.


5. An excused absence does not result in an automatic pass for the week - the previous week's status will be applied for the week of the absence, and the check will resume from there the next week. In the case of an alpha partnership, the excused absence of one alpha (one week only) will drop the requirements to those of a single alpha.

Note: Alphas that choose to willingly dissolve their pack can do so. But following the dissolution, any wolf may step up and claim the pack so long as they meet the requirements. If no one steps up within 1 OOC week (7 days), then the pack with removed the pack list and added to the “Pack Creation” List.

Absences

1. Alphas may be excused from posting for one week only as long as an absence is posted by Wednesday of that week. The alpha check should be edited to state the alpha is on absence and provide a link to the absence post. Posting at any time during the absence will result in it being voided completely, and the alpha will be responsible for completing their posts before the alpha check.

Pack Challenge Judging

1. When an alpha's pack is challenged for, alpha check will continue as usual until the fight is put in judging. At that point, their activity checks will be paused until the official judging is posted.

Alpha Activity Meter

1. Alphas must post 5 times per week, or in the case of an alpha partnership, 10 times a week combined. These posts must be in by 11:59 PM Ardent Time (PST).


2. Alphas must also make note of something else pack-related they've done. These things can include: updating your pack roster, updating your pack information, archiving threads on your board, etc.


3. When listing the completed posts made, please link to the individual posts, not the thread. This can be found by clicking on the number on the top right of the post, or right click + copying the link.


4. Checks will be done every Tuesday morning but all alpha activity must be edited into the alpha activity thread by 11:59 pm Ardent time on Mondays or will not be counted. If the check is delayed until after noon on Tuesday, all posts done from Tuesday on will be counted.

indicates an alpha successfully passed alpha check for that week.
indicates a failed alpha activity check. If the next week is not passed and returns to a passing status the following week, the pack will either immediately be handed down to the heir or another rank as specified in the pack page. If none are present, the pack will be disbanded and the land will be immediately made available for claim.
indicates a paused alpha check. This is not an automatic pass, but means the following week resumes from the last completed check (if you failed the previous check, you must pass the next one to avoid losing your pack).
