OBEY THE RULES OR GET KICKED. UNDERSTOOD?
Every time you forget to English, a Grammar Nazi cries. Please don't make us cry.
Dominance - A dominant wolf stands stiff legged and tall. The ears are erect and forward, and the hackles bristle slightly. Often the tail is held vertical and curled toward the back. This display shows the wolf's rank to all others in the pack. A dominant lupine may stare penetratingly at a submissive one, pin it to the ground, "ride up" on its shoulders, or even stand on its hind legs.
Submission (active) - In active submission, the entire body is lowered, and the lips and ears are drawn back. Sometimes active submission is accompanied by a rapid thrusting out of the tongue and lowering of the hindquarters. The tail is placed down, or halfway or fully between the legs, and the muzzle often points up to the more dominant animal. The back may be partially arched as the submissive wolf humbles itself to its superior. (A more arched back and more tucked tail indicate a greater level of submission.)
Submission (passive) - Passive submission is more intense than active submission. The wolf rolls on its back and exposes its vulnerable throat and underside. The paws are drawn into the body. This is often accompanied by whimpering.
Anger - An angry lupine's ears are erect, and its fur bristles. The lips may curl up or pull back, and the incisors are displayed. The wolf may also snarl.
Fear - A frightened wolf tries to make its body look small and therefore less conspicuous. The ears flatten down against the head, and the tail may be tucked between the legs, as with a submissive wolf. There may also be whimpering or barks of fear, and the wolf may arch its back.
Defensive - A defensive wolf flattens its ears against its head.
Aggression - An aggressive wolf snarls and its fur bristles. The wolf may crouch, ready to attack if necessary.
Suspicion - Pulling back of the ears shows a lupine is suspicious. In addition, the wolf narrows its eyes. The tail of a wolf that senses danger points straight out, parallel to the ground.
Relaxedness - A relaxed wolf's tail points straight down, and the wolf may rest sphinxlike or on its side. The wolf's tail may also wag. The further down the tail droops, the more relaxed the wolf is.
Tension - An aroused wolf's tail points straight out, and the wolf may crouch as if ready to spring.
Happiness - As dogs do, a lupine may wag its tail if it is in a joyful mood. The tongue may loll out of the mouth.
Hunting - A wolf that is hunting is tensed, and therefore the tail is horizontal and straight.
Playfulness - A playful lupine holds its tail high and wags it. The wolf may frolic and dance around, or bow by placing the front of its body down to the ground, while holding the rear high, sometimes wagged. This is reminiscent of the playful behavior executed in domestic dogs.
As many of our members are aware of, Mordere av Natten endures the phase of Mordere After Dark after about midnight, or sometimes earlier. During this time, all profanity is allowed, and your really messed up sense of humor is allowed to go free. There are few rules being enforced OOC during MAD (Mordere After Dark). Please know that if you can't handle our fucked up humor, then pack your bags full of bricks, eat them, then proceed to shit them out. Thank you.
But, in all seriousness, there really is a Mordere After Dark, and it gets worse during mating season. Beware. Here are rules in place during this time...
Disobeying the rules repeatedly will get you kicked. Even if you are a good friend of the staff, you must recognize that just because we know you, we're not going to take your bullshit.
Each rule follows a strict three-strike system, where you have three chances to break any of these rules before you are kicked.
If you are kicked from the group, you have a two day ban in contacting us to re-join. Until then, we suggest that you study the rules so that you are ready. If you fail to follow the rules on your second time joining, you will automatically become permanently banned from the group.
You will be messaged by a moderator or admin for each strike. If you fail to obey orders, then expect the inevitable.
