THE RULES
Stealing Edition:
Steals must be posted in IC in the form of a riddle or poem and must include hints about the identity of the horse being stolen.
For example:
Would you take a bullet for me, I wonder?
As you did for a past life lover
Blood spilled upon a virgin's white,
Still mismatched eyes shine through the night
-Livy
This steal would be for Hud's mare Eponine.
- Eponine is also the name of a character in the musical Les Misérables in which she is shot when she steps in front of a musket to save the life of the man she loves.
- Blood spilled on virgin's white is a reference to Eponine's color, bay tovero, and to the death of Eponine in Les Misérables
- Still mismatched eyes... Is another reference to Eponine's appearance because she has one blue eye, and one brown eye.
You could go about it differently, but this is the probably minimum you'd need for a successful steal. If you're too vague the staff can rule the steal a failure.
Da Rules:
- Any stallion can steal mares/foals from any other stallion
- Colts may only be stolen if they are under the age of two
- Only kings may block a steal
- Kings block steals by correctly guessing the mare/foal the riddle is about, they have 2 guesses and my only block their own mares
- Kings have two days after the steal is posted to guess
- After those two days the steal is closed. The thief must then explain their riddle and reveal who they attempted to steal at which point the staff will determine if the steal was successful
