Rules of Sneaking

Sneaking

Failure to follow these rules can lead to you no longer being able to sneak with your characters (can still be snuck from by others).

- Stallions can sneak for up to two mares from one person at a time, limit two ppl.

- Can sneak for a territory but its not recommended unless the leader is inactive.

- Mares can sneak for freedom and/or their foals freedom.

- Sneaks must be decipherable and must have hints as to what you are sneaking for and from whom.

- Stallions can only block for half their herd or the majority if the herd is an odd number (ex: Blocks mare A, B, C (3/6) OR A, B, C, D (4/7).

- If a stallion blocks mares A, B, and C, but you were sneaking for mare D, then you don’t have to wait for the three days to be over. A moderator will check to see if it’s valid.

- Moderators will not remind you to post the meanings of sneaks. A sneak will remain open for blocking after the three days, until its meaning has been posted.

- Sneaks can be in riddle/poem form or just said.

- Must wait three days, if the person you are sneaking from does not block by then, say who it was for and a mod will declare it valid/invalid.

- Cannot sneak for something somebody is already challenging for.

- If you are going to cancel a sneak then you must still post who the sneak was for with the reasoning of your sneak. Also, when you are asked to reveal who/what your sneak is for (whether it was invalid/valid) you must reveal the reasoning of your sneak as well (how each line related to what you were sneaking for, etc.)


Let me give you an example of a sneak...

Satan decided to sneak for the mare Bambala's Cybel from Red Sun. So he came here, and this is what he posted...

You're a nightingale
Singing on the night wind
A daisy
Blowing in the soft wind

You were once ebony
But you're now golden
Still retaining your same form
Keeping your strong name

The chestnut makes you happy
The chestnut holds you near
Now that the chestnut's gone
You have everything to fear

A midday sky
With clouds in it's view
Too impure for words
Too impure for me

The person who plays Therthis might reply after this was posted, blocking all but Bambala.
Otho did not block Sanafrisia from the sneak, and so as soon as he has posted, Satan is within his rights to take the mare and give the reasoning for his sneak. His reasoning went like this:

This sneak was for Sanafrisia from Dark Tanatos

You're a nightingale
Singing on the night wind - this whole stanza is talking about how free Cybele is
A daisy
Blowing in the soft wind

You were once ebony - She was dismal
But you're now golden - She's acts happy around her foal
Still retaining your same form - Her coat color is still black
Keeping your strong name - It says in her foal bio that she's courageous

The chestnut makes you happy - Talking about Red Sun
The chestnut holds you near - She's the queen
Now that the chestnut's gone - Xan's gone
You have everything to fear - Shouldn't everyone be afraid of Satan? lol

A midday sky - her eyes are blue
With clouds in it's view - She has a white star on her head
Too impure for words - she's a friesian x morgan cross
Too impure for me - She's going to be a slave(correct me if I'm wrong)

This sneak would be said as Valid, because of all the hints and whatnot. It referred to the lands, Red Sun, the stallion Therthis, and the mare.

OOC: this example is taken from another site, as I am terrible at these!
