Ulaya will often form packs that function as a society.
What's so special about packs, you ask?
Packs could ahve their own gem color, pattern, or even line edits that are limited to them only and automatically denote a member of that pack. For example, members of a "Zebra Pack" will all have zebra-like stripes.
Existing Packs:
Mwezi Pack
Annaffiare Pack
Tehsmek Pack
Rounoir Pack
Vraireve Pack
Creating a Pack
To create a pack, you must fill out the following form completely and PM it to Jokoa`. It will then be reviewed and either approved or denied. If it is approved, you are to set up your subforum for your pack with a thread for rules, a thread for members, etc.
You will receive a PM saying whether it was approved or denied. If your PM is read but not replied to yet, don't rush us. We may be busy with other things and just have not taken the time to really discuss it and approve it or deny it yet. Either way, you will receive a reply.
Rules:
[~] A pack needs RP / an interest thread behind it in order to be created. If we feel there is not sufficient interest / RP behind a pack, it will not be approved.
[~] A pack needs at least 5 living members to function or be created. If there are not 5 members, it cannot be formed. If the numbers fall below 5, the pack will fall apart.
[~] A pack needs a God/dess as an "elder" to function correctly. Resident God/desses create stability in the pack, solving problems that may arrise. If there is no resident deity, the pack will have many disagreements in character!!! If you form a pack without a deity, there will be arguments often and the pack will be unstable. Packs without a deity will almost always disband within the first month.
[~] There needs to be some kind of background to the pack as to why they formed. It could solely be because they wanted a group of blue coated ulaya or it could be something more intense like a coalition or a selective group of hunters.
[~] Packs should have some sort of ranking system. It's not completely necessary, but it is suggested.

Maintaining a Pack
[~] There must be at least 3 new RPs a month in the pack subforum. Packs without sufficient RP for the month will receive a warning ONCE. If RP is not taken care of the pack will be disbanded.
[~] Five members must remain in the pack at all times for it to remain a pack. If there are fewer than five currently living members, the pack is disbanded.
[~] If a ruler dies, they must be replaced as soon as possible.
[~] Pups will remain with their mother's pack until they are adults, at which point they can leave.
[~] There MUST be rules about joining and leaving a pack.
For Pack Creators:
[~] If you want a thread stickied or as an announcement, when you make it put "STK" or "ANN" in the title and a staff member will sticky or announce the thread for you.
[~] You must keep track of your pack members somehow. Even a simple list with the ulaya's name and picture is fine.
