These are the consequences for breaking the terms and conditions of our species.
Note that by receiving a non-voided lupi design in any way, by reentering a voided design into the species with the intent to unvoid them, by participating in an MYO event and/or by joining the species in any way, you are automatically agreeing to our Terms and Conditions. You may only legally break ties with our terms if you leave the species altogether (rehoming/voiding your current lupi, leaving the server, site and all).
The Consequences of Breaking General Terms...
- Breaking the Rules of Rehoming:
- First time failure to follow the rules of rehoming will result in a warning.
- A second continuation of disregarding rules will result in a 14 day kick from the discord server and an inability to play the ARPG or partake in any design sales or MYO events.
- Third event we will ban and blacklist you.
- If we find out you intentionally disobey these rules by selling for more than a design is worth under the table, so to speak, skip the three strike system and immediately receive the consequences of the third strike. You will be asked (but not forced) to rehome your lupi. If you choose not to rehome lupi, you will be forced to void the design(s) and then change the species exclusive traits such as the tails, ears and leg fur.
- If you are voiding them due to the breaking of these terms, you will not be allowed to change the species into any other open, semi-open or closed species. Note that voiding a lupi in general and not because you broke terms agreement will not result in disallowment to change the species.
- Voiding a design before the 6 month mark:
- Immediate ban, no exceptions.
- Using a lupinus you do not have permission to use:
- First strike: A warning and you will not be allowed to participate in any ARPG related event for 1 month.
- Second strike: A 14 day kick from the server and you will not be allowed to participate in any ARPG related event for 2 months.
- Third strike: A 30 day kick from the server and you will not be allowed to participate in any ARPG related event for 3 months.
- Note that if this becomes a pattern of behavior all within 1 year or the offender is targetting a certain other member or members, we will consider this harassment and you will be banned and blacklisted.
- You must report the person who is breaking this rule to the point it makes you uncomfortable or we cannot do anything to punish the other user!! If an action (of any kind) makes you uncomfortable, please stand up for yourself in some way and come to staff for help. We will do what we can for you. It is always best if you bring screenshot evidence.
- Mini modding:
- If you see someone else breaking rules or you witness a conflict between two or more players, please do not jump in and mini mod. Come to staff. If you decide to mini mod, we will give you a warning, but will not take drastic measures unless this becomes an issue.
- If you mini mod enough that you get multiple talking to's, you will be barred from ever becoming staff and even muted in the Discord server for a temporary time.
- AU Lupi:
- Breaking this term results in a warning.
- If you decide to use an AU form in the ARPG, your submission will be declined and you will not receive any rewards, EXP or rights to appraisal the submission. If you collab with someone else in the species with your AU form(s), they too will receive a warning and no benefits.
- You own the design, not the species:
- No consequence as this is not a breakable rule.
- Breeding rights go to the owner of the parents:
- No punishments unless you try to lie about who picks what pups. If you lie, you will be barred from buying the pups of the breeding you lied about.
- If the owner/owners of the parent designs want any of the pups, it would be preferred that they message Albino on Discord to avoid any risks. This is not a requirement, but proof of their pick is, either by owner private message or by screenshot.
- Tell staff if you don't have a WOS account and/or are trading/selling/gifting to someone who also does not have a WOS account.
- No punishment for forgetting, as this can easily be overlooked. Let us know later rather than never.
- We will however require that you...
- Remind the new owner that the design is a closed species and then link them to AlbinoFlowers' DeviantArt and the discord server. You HAVE to check by Albino if they want to void the design BEFORE they receive it!
- Make sure the new owner has a DeviantArt or WorldOfSolaria account if they receive the design unless they are planning on voiding
- Failure to do so will result in a warning and a stern talking to.
The Consequences of Breaking Design Terms...
- No MYO? No acceptance.
- No punishment. We'll just remind you that the design cannot be used without an MYO.
- Reminder that you may not make a lupinus design meant to sell unless you are an Artisan. Reminder of the custom rules as well. Failure to adhere by the adopt rule will result in a graylist of 3 months where you may not receive any lupi (you may gift, trade or resell the ones you have during this time). Failure to adhere by the custom rule may result in you needing to pay the artist who designed the custom more for mass changes if you did not check progress by Albino. You will also receive a warning.
- Feral form required...
- No punishment. We will simply remind you that the lupinus is not valid until they have a feral form to go with the humanoid form, and therefor cannot be uploaded to the masterlist or used in the ARPG.
- The traits and anatomy make the species!
- If you do not draw the traits or anatomy of a lupinus properly, your art will not be valid for EXP, ARPG submissions or appraisals. Please check work progress of commissioned artists by Albino to make sure the traits are correct as well. He is open to redlining if that helps.
- This is a bit more wobbly on bipedals. Bipedal lupini traits can either be to scale as their feral forms, or shortened/shrunk a bit if they're of larger sizes to fit the form better. You may check by Albino to make sure it's valid as well, but it's definitely treated with more leniency than feral forms.
- If you do not draw the traits or anatomy of a lupinus properly, your art will not be valid for EXP, ARPG submissions or appraisals. Please check work progress of commissioned artists by Albino to make sure the traits are correct as well. He is open to redlining if that helps.
- Ask the original designer if you want to make changes! If they say no...
- First Strike: A warning.
- Second Strike: Another warning and a 1 month greylist from receiving any lupini designs.
- Third Strike: 1 month greylist from receiving designs and barred from submitting MYOs for 2 months.
- Note that if they say no but you want to push it, get an admin involved (Albino or Aim are best picked for this). Admin have the power to override the original designer's refusal for masterlist or design changes. If the admin says no, consider it final, you may not change anything. If you disregard the designer's wants and/or bypass admins as well, you will immediately be greylisted for 3 months from receiving designs, participating in the ARPG or any MYO event, and making any MYOs.
- Tracing? Thievery. A crime to be punished.
- You get ONE warning. If you're caught tracing or stealing a design again, you will immediately be banned and blacklisted for 1 full year. After that year has passed, you will be allowed to plea to be let back into the species. You will not receive a second chance if you are caught tracing or stealing again.
- Proof of permission to change a design.
- If the design is a simple base adopt, we will give you a warning but no further punishment.
- If the design is higher quality and the designer does not give permission in TOS or in private messages, then you may not lupify a design. If you do so and we receive notice, whether by the original designer or someone else, you will be forced to surrender the design by voiding, or however else the original designer wants it dealt with. You will then be greylisted from making any MYOs for 4 months.
