Hello! My name is Candy. I bookmarked this page quite some time ago intending to join, but somehow I managed to forget about the link (sitting in my "random" folder, as it were).I used to join wolf roleplays a couple of years ago (on several sites) until I got fed up with the lack of continuity. (Currently I roleplay on Gaiaonline.com) I've taken the liberty of reading the TaC and disclaimers as well as your thread regarding wolfspeak (which may I add, I found quite funny having rp'd with several such people). I'm still interested in joining this RP community...but.... I have a few questions: 1) Where do you find updates
2) Is the breed ban on cats for all breeds besides persian? (as in I could not play a character that was ...say... a Maine Coon?)
3)How does one go about submitting a request for membership? Do I need to submit a sample of roleplaying or a profile?
4) How do the dogs communicate? Is it a mind-speech, all body signals, or is there a form of audible speech that is simply not used around humans?
If you're still considering people to join... please let me know. I'll try to check back here soon, but I can always be PM'ed on dA ( user name keluswulf).

Welcome, Candy! 1) Updates are posted on the site sidebar which is always displayed on the left. Whenever we make updates we always record them in the News and Updates Log, which can be found in MG Related Areas. 2) This is stated very clearly on the Banned Breeds list by our cat specialist mod, Firefly: "ALL CAT BREEDS AND MIXES OF BREEDS EXCEPT THE PERSIAN BREED GROUP ARE BANNED. The Persian Breed Group is comprised of Persians (all TICA accepted colours), Himalayans (all TICA accepted colours), and Exotic Shorthairs (all TICA accepted colours). No other breed of cat or any mix of any other breed of cat may be posted. " So there you have it: only Persians, Himalayans and Exotic Shorthairs, no other breeds. This rule was put in place because there were too many purebred cats on the site which wasn't realistic. Purebred cats are not commonly owned as pets, and most people with pet cats own mixed breeds or 'moggies', which come in such a great range of shapes, sizes, colours and coat types that there is plenty of room for variety there. The Persian breed group however is the most commonly owned of cat pure breeds, and thus they are still allowed. 3) Membership has been temporarily closed because of issues we have had with the site (read the updates). We will eventually open membership back up, but right now the mods are all very busy and so things have had to take a backseat over here. Hopefully you'll join us when we get back in full swing! 4) ...Mind speech? Here, we roleplay our dogs as having conversations and 'talking' but it is assumed to be dog language that is translated into English. Users are very strongly encouraged to do some research on dog body language and psychology, and to incorporate what they learn into their roleplays. As a person that enjoys reading about dog behaviour this is the fun part for me. xD I don't know how much you can view on the guest account, but you're welcome to look at roleplays in session or old roleplay threads to get an idea of how things are done here. As far as I can tell it's nothing too out there. So yeah, really, just keep checking back. I can't give you an estimate on when we'll be back open, but hopefully it will be soon.
