WHAT TO WIN

Things you can challenge for:

for a territory on your island

for two mares/non-subordinant stallions

for two non-depenant foals

Winnings:

if a stallion wins a land, he gains the mares that live there

if a stallion wins a bachelor land, those stallions are free to choose.

if a mare wins a land, she gets the mares that live there

if a mare wins a bachelor land, those stallions can be held hostage

amazon mares may choose to leave if another mare takes over.

if a mare has a foal and is challenged for and won by another stallion that foal must accompany her if it is under 6 months of age.

GENERAL RULES

challenged horse gets the first post

stallions may challenge mares for their territory (et vice versa)

mares may challenge for their freedom, their foal's freedom or another's freedom if they so choose

you must post the challenge both on the board and in the living place of the horse you are challenging
(if the horse is currently held in another place other than they're usual living place, post wherever they are being held)

if the challenge is not answered within 3 full days the challenger wins by default

if a challenge being fought goes inactive for 3 full days whomever posted last wins by default. longer days may be gained if the players agree to it before the battle.

no word limits.

you must play out the wounds you receive.

a horse can only participate in one battle at any given time

a player can only participate in two battles at any given time

no matter what the verdict, players must wait a full three days before attempting to re-challenge/re-steal for whatever was being challenged/stolen for at the time.
(ie: if you win a mare, no one else can steal/challenge for that mare for three days.)

a stallion must be given a full 3 days RL time before being challenged again
(this equals roughly 6.5 days negative time)

LAND/TIME & BATTLE FORM

Land & Time:

all fights must happen between the first light of dawn and the last light of day

horses are not nocturnal, fights do NOT happen in darkness.

weather conditions must comply with the current season/weather on the homepage

the fight will be played out as if it is happening wherever the challenged horse lives
(ie: if the stallion is challenging for a mare, it would make sense for the stallion to be wherever the mare was in order to collect his winnings right away)

Battle Form:

3 posts each

2 attacks per post

1 full dodge per post* optional. you may choose to allow your horse to take both hits and/or take one and take a partial hit for the second one.

Final post is defense only.
