FAQ
Hello, welcome to Full Swing's Frequently Asked Questions! This is a list of questions that members and passersby alike have asked that the staff have deemed worthy to be added to the list. This is not our rule book or guide, that is located in the links displayed in the welcome table and should be read before reading the list below as our guide and rules will help to answer any questions you might have better than this list can. If you have not read the guide or rules it is suggested that you do so before you read this list of FAQ's to better understand what Full Swing is all about!
• WHAT ARE THE WORD COUNTS FOR THE REQUIRED FIELDS?
- Appearance: 100, Personality: 200, History: 200
• HOW DO I ACCUMULATE MEMORIES, THE SITE CURRENCY?
- There are many ways to go about receiving memories. Each in-character thread and each in-character reply that you make will reward you with 5 memories each. Per each newly registered user, 100 memories will be rewarded. Other ways to accumulate memories include participating in site-wide events, member-hosted events, advertising, winning battles, participating in pack events, making graphics, and more!
• HOW MANY LIQUID-TIMED THREADS CAN I BE IN AT ONCE?
- Three. Any threads made after this limit will be removed. Your character cannot end up in two threads taking place at the same time in two separate places without physically being able to move between those places. However, if you complete an existing liquid-timed thread, you are more than welcome to create a new one, so long as your limit does not extend over three threads at one time.
• HOW MANY CHARACTERS CAN I HAVE AT ONCE?
- As many as you can handle. However, inactive accounts will be deleted after one month of inactivity, so please keep this in mind.
• CAN I PUT ALL OF MY CHARACTERS ON ONE ACCOUNT?
- No, Full Swing is a one-account-per-character site to allow the staff to see how many accounts are registered at one time, and to ensure that our tagging system works properly. Out-of-character accounts are allowed, and we have a nifty account switcher that you can connect all of your accounts to in order to make handling them a bit easier.
• DO I NEED TO PURCHASE AN ITEM FROM THE SHOP TO GIVE MY CHARACTER A SPECIFIC FUR COLOR OR PATTERN?
- No, there is no requirement for coat colors or patterns. Characters can be striped, spotted, speckled, sparkly, and any color under the sun without having to buy an item from the shop.
• WHERE CAN I FIND SOMEONE THAT WILL MAKE ME GRAPHICS/TABLES/ETC.?
- You may post a request for anything graphics related in the board titled 'Graphics'.
• CAN I GIVE MY CHARACTER CUSTOM ITEMS THAT AREN'T LISTED IN THE SHOP?
- No. This is to prevent confusion and to provide equality for all members. While we are open to suggestions and ideas, the only items available for characters are listed in the shop.
• IS THERE SOMEWHERE I CAN POST SUGGESTIONS OR IDEAS?
- Yes, in the board titled 'suggestions'. All ideas and suggestions will be looked over and considered either by the staff team only or by the forum as a whole, depending on the topic.
• HOW DOES MY CHARACTER ADVANCE THROUGH PACK RANKS?
- By putting in effort and determination, your character may request from the pack leader that they be moved up in rank. When applying for new ranks be sure to follow all pack rules!
• HOW DOES MY CHARACTER ADVANCE THROUGH TIERS?
- With much effort and determination, characters can excel all the way up to an ascended status. The listed experience and thread count must be completed for Tiers and their sub-classes in order for a character to advance through power levels. All information on Tiers and magic can be found <a href="http://fullswing.boards.net/thread/5/battles-magic">here</a>.
• CAN ANY SPECIES WOLF JOIN ANY PACK?
- Yes and no. Depending on the views of the pack as a whole, other species may be looked down upon, or they may be accepted. Make sure you familiarize yourself with which packs accept which species when applying to join one.
• WHAT DO I DO WITH MY FINISHED THREADS?
- List the thread as closed so a staff member knows it's complete. All finished threads will be moved to the archives by a staff member. If needed, you can always request to have it moved back.
• CAN MY CHARACTER BREED OUTSIDE OF THE BREEDING SEASON?
- Yes. However, please take note that when applying for a litter, the chances of conceiving a litter are considerably lower outside of breeding season rather than during breeding season. Litters that are created outside of breeding season also have higher chances of including still-born pups. There are no items within the shop that may be purchased that allows breeding outside of breeding season with no altercations.
• IS THERE A LIMIT AS TO HOW MANY ITEMS MY CHARACTER CAN HAVE?
- No. You are only limited to the items available for purchase in the shop, but there is no limit as to how many of the listed items you can have for your character. Two of the same item on your account will not increase the effects of that power or initiate any special circumstances for that item, so it is suggested that you only purchase one of each.
• WHAT HAPPENS TO PUPS BORN WITHOUT PERMISSION?
- Within a pack, pups born without permission will be dealt with according to the pack laws. Some leaders may decide to kill the litter while others may decide to raise them. For litters that are born without staff acceptance, those characters will not be permitted to be created or role played until the litter has been approved.
• WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CHARACTER DIES?
- You can choose to kill them off completely or you can continue to role play your character as a spirit after they have passed.
• CAN I JOIN STAFF?
- If we notice a member that we think would be well-suited for our staff team, we will contact them personally. Please do not ask staff members if you may join the staff team. We will not accept additions this way. Auditions may be held where everyone is welcome to apply.
• CAN MY CHARACTER BE A CUSTOM SPECIES THAT IS NOT LISTED ON FULL SWING?
- No. Characters must be a species listed forum-wide and cannot be labeled as a different species outside of those provided.
