Rules
These rules will be enforced to some extent but most if not none will have a punishment just an edit and some don't even have to be edited just encouraged.

1. Keep the roleplay realistic to some extent, unlike DPF we encourage more realistic roleplay. So if you like realistic roleplay roleplay here but if you want to be more fictional head to PDF roleplay for that. So no spirt of vegance, mutations or human like characteristics to a short extent.
2. Keep the sizes realistic, make realistic sizes please. We don't allow unfair roleplay. Freaks are not allowed, so if you want that head to PDF roleplay, they will be welcomed there. Also try not to always make the largest creature on the block. This largest creature on the block rule will not be enforced but its pretty annoying when you do that so expect some critism.
3. Your posts must tie in with the previous post in some way it can be small and large. But if you want to make a fight you must ask the other person.
4. Only choose the dinosaur from the determined geological time of the role-play (example, picking an Allosaurus in a Triassic role-play will trigger one of the Moderators to message you asking to change your characters thread to the correct one.)
5. Post at least, 3 lines of text. The most important thing is to have fun, but please post something interesting, be original, and give character. Post at least 3 sentences.
6. Amphicoelias fragillimus is outlawed
7. Don't make your characters God, they can die. Animals are animals not monsters. Also if they die they are dead, can no longer be used.
8. DO NOT always harrass others with fighting, you have to ask to fight the other person. Also we encourage other stuff as well not just fighting since it turned out to be a war zone in DPF all the time lol.
9. Do not create characters in the roleplaying threads. Please god don't I had that problem in the beginning of PDF and it was fucking PAINFULLY long.
10. Don't reserve threads that people are using, don't be like liam lol. If you want to make a reserve thread for some people and not others feel free but make a new thread and put (Reserved) in the title. And list who can roleplay and who can't. Staff can still post there though and members if they want to say something.
11. No teleportation. That is, if a character is said to be a certain distance that is fairly high, you are not able to interact wth that character.
12. Repetitive characters and text. This isn't a demandatory rule, but we encourage our users to be original. This is for the sake of having fun with the roleplay, fighting all the time or just doing daily needs (e.g. drinking water from a river) for completely random reasons becomes easily boring for some, so try giving character and being less repetitive.
13. Only use dinosaur speaking to a certain extent. If you want to use human language on dinosaurs, this will be welcomed on DPF. Our roleplay is more realistic, so only use simple talking like body language and growls, both don't have complex meanings. We suggest to be very realisitic, and since we don't know much about dinosaur behaviour, you can base a species' behaviour on an extant animal that seems to have an equivalent behaviour. So this rule is basically about not talking, remember dinosaurs don't talk, they use sounds and body language that don't have very complex meanings.
