1) Alpha Challenges must be judged by staff in order to count.
2) Your wolf must be at least three(3) years old to challenge an alpha, and must have at least 150 posts on their account. Males can challenge females, but only if the female is a single alpha(and vice-versus)
3) If an Alpha losing, his or her mate if they have one, is demoted with them. The new alpha can chose if their partner is Alpha along side them (if they have one.
4) Alpha's can only be challenged after they've ruled for at least 14 OoC days.
5) An Alpha can not turn down a challenge from a member whom has met these requirements.
6) If an Alpha loses, and has young pups, should consider moving their young to a safer location. The new Alpha could choose to kill the pups since they're former heirs and may come back to rightfully claim what was theirs when they're older. Pups under two months of age automatically stay with their mother, any older than this and younger than six must be challenged for.
7) You do not have to request permission to challenge for a pack, but make sure your character meets all the requirements first.
8 ) You may use as many attacks as you wish per post, but only one full dodge is allowed per post. The staff grades based off technique, not just the grammar and amount of words you use (But these will help too!)
9) If an Alpha is challenged and wins a fight, they have 14 OoC days to rest before they are allowed to be challenged again.
10) If five OoC days have passed without a rely from one of the roleplayers, that character automatically loses the fight unless both players have agreed to extended deadlines which needs to be posted in the thread for staff to know about.
11) Fights to the death are allowed, but only if agreed upon and stated in the thread.
12) Speak with an administrator if you are having difficulty getting onto the forum. There are several ways to contact us and it only takes a simple message to inform us, and your partner, of the problem.
13) Temporary Alphas, those who are holding a pack while the Alpha is away, have full immunity from Alpha challenges, but you can not be a temporary Alpha Forever.
