Q. How are Lead Stallion and Boss Mare appointed?
A. They are appointed through play battles. If a horse consistantly wins play battles, they are then appointed Lead Stallion/Boss Mare OR you can announce that you wish to be LS/BM and wait a week for any challenges. If you get no replies after a week, you can then be declared LS/BM.

Q. Can I be a Rancher and a BLM/PCS person?
A. Yes, you can be both if you choose. The BLM will hold roundups occasionally, but you have to have at least two people in the BLM to have one. The PCS can relocate predators if needed, but you have to have at least two people in the PCS to do it.

Q. What does a Rancher do?
A. A rancher can have their own horses (that people may play if they haven't used up their second char slot) but they can also roundup horses occasionally. Ranchers can only gather one horse at a time, and the horse has to be at least a year old and can't be older than 5. You have to wait at least 2 weeks in between mini- roundups.

Q. How are the BLM roundups done?
A. The BLM people will take out horses, no helicopters, and ride into a predesignated territory (note: they can only go into territories with harems) and RP their roundup. The horses they are rounding up may dodge and swerve and make all attempts to flee, but please don't have the ENTIRE herd escape. If you are captured, you can fight, but you must go. BLMers can only go after a herd if there are at least 10 horses residing in it.

Q. How do we age our horses, predators, and/or humans?
A. All members of the RRPS age 1 year every month. Even if you join on the last day before the year change, you will age the next day. This will keep everyone aging equally.

Q. How long are mares pregnant?
A. Because everyone ages every month, it would only be proper to have the mare pregnant for at least 3 weeks (real life time). The foal will be a foal until the next year change. Remember that twins are a very rare and potentially deadly thing in the wild.

Q. How long are predators pregnant?
A. Again, because everyone ages every month, predators will be pregnant for 1 week (real life time). The young will be pups or kittens until the next year change. The number of young will depend upon what predator you are...Wolves generally have between 4-6 pups and Cougars generally have between 2-4 kittens.

Q. What happens if my mare has a foal and I have ten characters already?
A. If this happens, you can play the foal until it is a year old. After that time you will need to find a player for it. If you do not find a player by the time the foal is 3 years old, you may play it yourself. But you MUST show me that you tried hard to find a player for the foal. Besides, how did you let yourself get that many characters? LOL
