|                                                            |
|      Because we are a small MUCK, prides are restricted to |
| be are kept in proportion to the total leonine population. |
| If we have more than fifteen active Lionesses for every    |
| one pride, the admin will consider opening applications    |
| for a new pride. These Lionesses can be 'regular',         |
| Barbary, or White.                                         |
|                                                            |
|      When a new pride is ready to be created, a King is    |
| obviously required. However, to become a King, a Lion MUST |
| progress through the full life cycle, from Cub to Adult.   |
| This Lion can also be 'regular', Barbary, or White.        |
|                                                            |
|      After deciding to apply for a King position, the      |
| Lion has a choice regarding a Queen. A King may decide to  |
| have a Queen for his pride or not. A PRIDE DOES NOT HAVE   |
| TO HAVE A QUEEN. However, if a King wishes to have a Queen |
| for a new pride, that Queen must be selected before the    |
| new pride is created - and, like the King, must be         |
| approved by the Admin.                                     |
|                                                            |
|      If a King chooses to NOT have a Queen, realize that   |
| he is taking on the responsibility of the pride completely |
| on his own shoulders. If this decision is made, he MAY NOT |
| elect a Queen at a later time without sufficient cause.    |
| The King must have the approval of the Staff to do so.     |
| Keep this in mind.                                         |
|                                                            |
|      A King or Queen will automatically be dethroned if he |
| or she does not connect to the Muck for 30 days without    |
| warning. If a King or Queen does not connect for 14 days,  |
| their position may be 'challenged' and another Lion or     |
| Lioness may take their place, subject to approval from the |
| Admin. Please note that Royalty can only be dethroned      |
| or a Royalty position 'challenged' if said King or Queen   |
| GAVE NO ADVANCE NOTICE TO THE ADMIN. If advance notice is  |
| given with a justifiable reason, then this rule is void.   |
|                                                            |
|      ONLY a King may have a pride. No other Lions or       |
| Lionesses may start, or even attempt to start, an          |
| unauthorized pride. Also, it is the responsibility of the  |
| Royalty to keep their prides active.                       |
|                                                            |
