Pride Life[/u][/color]

• Prides are ruled by a max of two males. These males must be the same age and take the land together. They do not need to be related.
  
• There is a 'ruling' lioness, she leads the hunts and keeps the other girls in line.
  
• Prides are allowed to make their own rules, but they can not conflict with ours.
  
• Males must be 4.5 or older to rule a pride.
  
• The kings are responsible for holding activity checks. If a king goes inactive for two weeks, his land and pride are up for grabs.
  
• Prides must have a group hunt RP once a real month, or members will begin to get ill.
  

Challenges[/u][/color]

• Males must be at least five before they can challenge a current male.
  
• If you are challenged, you must report to the challenge land. Challengee has 3 real days to respond, after which the challenger wins, unless challengee is away.
  
• Challenges may be for prides, lands, or a specific female.
  
• See the challenge board for how challenge results are determined.
  

Breeding and aging[/u][/color]

• Once a month will be recommended 'breeding season', during this time the males of the prides can post their stats. Any lioness who wishes for a cub can reply with her own.
  
• If a lioness posts hers first, she's open for a force-breeding. This will likely result in the death of your cubs, unless your king is tolerant.
  
• Lions age once a month during the 2nd half of Wet season.
  
• First half of Wet season is 1st - 9th, Second half of Wet season is 10th-19th, First half of Dry season is 20th-25th, Second half of Dry season is 26th-30th/31st
  
• The latter half of the Dry season is the optimal breeding time, for cubs to then be birthed into the Wet season when food is abundant.
