Celestial’s OOC Laws and Clarification
1) Activity Is a Must in Celestial
From this day (3 - 18 - 2018) forth, any wolves who do not post IC for over a month (example: Last post was December 4th, 2017, and no posts have been made IC with that character since then, and it is now January 25th, 2018) will be moved to Inactive Rank, with a note by their rank stating when they were moved there, when their last post was, and the two-week grace period to get active again.
There will be a required post amount per week, expected to be made over the course of the two weeks rather than a spree on one day per week. The required posts will be by the rank notes of the character.
If no consistent posting (Random sprees of posts will not be counted unless it’s consistently on a weekly basis) has been done as per their rank’s or Tier’s requirement, they will be removed from the pack, regardless of whether they have posted since the rank change to Inactive. (i.e., one single post will not get you out of trouble after a month of no posts and no Absence posted.)
Those not posted with for over a month and a half will be removed, hands down. (For instance, Wolves not posted with for four+ weeks.)
My only exceptions to these rules are when a Clear, Updated Absence post has been posted, and I have been informed directly, either through my skype or via PM with a link to the Absence Post. Scarcity notices will not be a viable reason not to be posting your characters. My one concession for Scarcity notices is to lower the requirements by half of the Tier or Rank requirement, save for wolves in Tier Six. You already only have to post once a week for that Tier.
Wolves removed from the pack may still finish their threads set before the date of removal (I will be keeping a log here in this section at the bottom if you need to reference it.), but may not start fresh threads in Celestial's boards unless it's a rejoining thread.
Characters who have been born into Celestial are expected and required to have reached at least 20 IC posts by the time they reach the age of One Year. This is not impossible. Yearling Wolves who have no more posts than half that requirement will be removed from the roster, as they are of an age that they can survive on their own. Characters from litters born before this section’s posting are, for the most part, exempt from this rule, but required to reach twenty more posts by the next year of their lives in the pack.
Now, let’s go over the posting requirements of Celestial’s (many) Rank Tiers:
Characters in Tier Six are required to post at least once per week, and one of those posts should be in threads inside Pack Boards (Vericona Plains, Druid’s Moor) with fellow packmates. Ranks in Tier Six are: Ancestor, Mother, Unit, Apprentice, Promise.
Characters in Tier Five are, as "Working Tier" wolves, expected to post at least twice per week. Hunters should be hunting (And actively bringing in food, not merely tracking it), Legionaries should be patrolling together, or with higher ranking wolves, or doing sentry duty on the wall. Healers should be gathering herbs, checking in on the pack members, regardless of whether they are sick or injured, or healthy.
As well, Legionaries in particular are required to participate in spars, in the pack and outside it, with a Witness from the pack along to observe. This is a rule I have seen no one following unless I have thrown Regulus in there to watch. It is in the Pack Laws. Follow it. Make your characters make friends in the pack and follow it. Yes. I’m being firm, and probably even “downright harsh”, but you are the one who decided to have a character in my pack. No one is forcing you to stay.
If you are playing a character in my pack who bears a Personality section stating they desire to become a masterful fighter, practice sparring in judged fights with them so your skill will reflect in theirs, and they have shown an IC journey of actively working to better themselves. Don’t just say they want to, show they want to! Make it an epic worth retelling for years! Earn that high rank, and that glory of being known across the continents as a masterful fighter. You can do it!
Characters in Tier Four are expected to be seen upholding the responsibilities of their rank's Tier. At least three posts per week are expected. Think of it as... like.. a department manager in a store. You don't hold up your end of the job, you get demoted or fired. Exceptions, are, naturally, when those lovely, clear Absences have been posted. As said before, Scarcities will not excuse you from posting, only relieve you of about half of your requirement. (In this case, two posts per OOC week... kinda no way to cut a three neatly in half...)
As Masters, your characters are required to call lessons and training in their various fields of expertise. I'm still re-deciding how often that will be per Real Life time frame. With having higher levels... Hmm. Let's try: A lesson within their fellow rank lines (Master Legionary and Legionaries, for example) per every two real life months. A Packwide lesson every three months.
To gain the Rank of Master Legionary in particular, the usual method is to have won at least three (judged) spars. Chances of rising with only three won spars rises depending on how many points you won with. These spars must have a Witness from the pack observing or they won't be counted.
The rank can be challenged for, but whether your character gets the rank, regardless of whether they won the challenge, depends on their conduct beforehand, and their prowess in fighting.
Characters in Tier Three are expected to hold themselves to the highest discipline and order (doesn't mean they have to be stiff snobs with sticks up their butts, but they should behave with some dignity and follow the pack laws without fail, as well as being active.)
