The Rules
General
Give respect to anyone of higher rank than you, and be civil to everyone else - you may only be disrespectful to the Omega if there is one.
You must ask permisson to breed from Big. Any pair who breed without his permisson will be demoted to Omega. On a second offence, you will be sent to an official trial in which the Betas, Alphas and the Gamma decide on your fate. The ONLY exception to this is if the Betas are mates together - they may breed when they like.
If Big orders you to do something, you must do it, otherwise you shall be demoted to Omega. On a second offence, you will be sent to an official trial.
Omegas must hunt at the ranch for Big. The more Omegas there are, the lesser the risk of injury, but the harder it is to work your way out of the position. PM Seagrass if you have any problems regarding hunting at the ranch - she'd prefer you use the method she uses for Big when he hunts.
No forcebreeding within the confines of the terra, and no forcebreeding those who are not Omegas. First offence, Omega, second offence, trial.
Any unactive dog who has a special rank, such as a Delta, will be given one week's notice before they are demoted to Zetas. Post within the week and you'll keep your position.
Puppies that are produced from a unlawful breeding have a normal status, they are not demoted with their parents.
Challenging
Any female may challenge for the position of Alpha Female, however you will not necessarily be Big's mate.
Anyone may challenge for the Beta positions, however, if you win, Big will set you a task for you to prove your loyalty. If you fail, he will not send you down, but may take longer to ask for you to do important jobs.
ONLY the Deltas may challenge for Gamma rank. When they move up, a puppy replaces them, and must be trained by them as their apprentice. The puppy may not necessarily be theirs, and may be of any gender.
Omegas may not challenge anyone, they must work their way out of the pack.
