Rules Regarding Artwork & Literature

Group Rules Discord Rules Artwork & Literature Rules
General Rules and Conduct

By joining our group, you agree to follow all rules outlined below. Breaking any rule may result in swift action by the Felvargs team, including potential banishment depending on the severity. We know rules aren’t the most exciting part of a game—but they’re essential to keeping things fair, safe, and fun for everyone.

General Rules
  • All art, designs, resources, and imports must remain on Felvargs.com, or personally owned websites. If you use group assets elsewhere, you must credit Felvargs and visibly link back to our website.
  • Felvargs is not responsible for losses due to personal trades between players. We cannot refund purchases, but we will step in if a player is scammed out of in-game goods.
  • Once an official action has been triggered (such as a slot request or sale), do not delete related comments. Doing so may result in a strike or suspension.
  • Character leasing is not permitted. However, co-ownership is allowed, and both parties may manage trackers and share rewards.
  • Raffles involving money, in-game currency/items, or art in exchange for tickets are not allowed. Raffles must be free to enter (e.g., comment to join, tag a friend, etc.). Violations will result in immediate removal and refunds.
  • Contests that reward art are permitted but must clearly state the rules, judging criteria, and prize pool. Failure to honor prizes will result in banishment.
Harassment
  • Harassment is taken extremely seriously. Any form of abuse—such as name-calling, threats, or malicious behavior—will be reviewed by staff. Depending on severity, consequences range from a temporary suspension to permanent removal.
  • If you are being harassed, submit a ticket using our support system, or contact a Guardian/Kit. Include clear details and screenshots when possible to help us resolve the issue quickly.
  • Immediately block the user harassing you. Continued contact after being blocked will result in their removal. Do not escalate; let staff handle it—we’re here to protect you.
Sales
  • You may only sell Felvargs that are registered under your account. To sell someone else’s Felvarg, it must first be transferred to you using the official group system.
  • Breeding slots may only be sold or promised if the Felvarg has completed its Passage of Courtship. Felvargs without this will have a visible warning. Violators will face a one-month breeding suspension; repeat offenses may result in a ban.
  • Anything won through official group raffles (genotypes, traits, items, etc.) is considered Bind-on-Account and cannot be transferred or sold. Alpha breeding slots may be split, but the original slot holder must receive Pick of the Litter.
  • Practice respectful sales etiquette. Backing out of deals, making tentative offers, or ghosting buyers/sellers can result in group action. Only list things you’re sure you want to sell.
  • If you’ve paid for something and the seller hasn’t delivered, contact staff. With proper proof, we’ll intervene and encourage fulfillment or a refund. Persistent seller delays will lead to suspension from selling.
  • Design commissions must be treated professionally. You are being paid to complete a design that meets group standards. Files should be clean, layered, and organized.
  • Do not pressure members to sell anything that isn’t publicly listed. This is considered harassment and will be treated accordingly.
  • Felvargs entered in a 1v1 event may not be sold or transferred until that month’s judging is complete. Entry is a commitment.
  • If you sell a Felvarg, it is your responsibility to notify the new owner of all active or previous slot permissions. These permissions must be honored. Failure to disclose may result in suspension.
Breeding
  • You may only sell or promise slots from Felvargs that have passed their Passage of Courtship. This applies even if you’re not charging for the slot.
  • All permissions must be posted as formal comments on the official breeding thread. Screenshots or messages elsewhere will not be accepted.
  • Be specific when writing permission: clarify rules about inbreeding, slot splitting, resale, gifting, or the use of Stones of Unakite. If not stated, it's assumed all are permitted.
  • Written permissions are permanent. They do not expire, and they cannot be retracted after payment is made.
  • Clearly define how the litter will be split before submitting the breeding. Example: “Pick of the litter goes to me, then we alternate picks.”
Discord Rules and Conduct

Our Discord server is a privilege, not a right. It exists to foster a safe, supportive space for both our players and staff. To ensure that environment is upheld, we ask all members to follow the rules outlined below. Violations may result in warnings, timeouts, or permanent removal depending on the severity of the offense.

Group Chat & Conduct
  • No discrimination, hate speech, bullying, racism, or political discussion of any kind.
  • Public channels are no-rant zones. It’s okay to have a rough day, but please take deeper venting to private chats. You may ask for a “rant buddy” if you'd like someone to talk with in a personal space.
  • Respect others as you wish to be respected. Kindness and empathy are expected at all times.
  • Swearing is allowed within reason, but excessive cursing or offensive content may result in a warning or timeout.
  • Links to outside websites are allowed, but please do not post files that require downloading.
  • If your post contains gore, blood, or sensitive themes, you must include a trigger warning and use Discord’s spoiler feature.
  • Public voice channels are open to all—please be mindful of those currently using them. The #privVC channel is invite-only if already in use.
  • Do not use the server to advertise other ARPGs or projects. Our server is dedicated to Felvargs—please keep it on topic.
  • Use channels appropriately. For example, use #for-sale to advertise Felvarg sales, not general chat.
  • Topics like COVID-19, pet breeding vs. adoption, or other real-world debates are not allowed in our community spaces.
Behavior That Will Result in Action

If you engage in the following behaviors, we reserve the right to remove you from the Discord server:

  • Rallying others against staff or the group (“rallying behavior”).
  • Complaining about the game, rewards, or corrections in public channels or off-site spaces that foster negativity toward the group.
  • Using your server profile (username, bio, image, etc.) to insult the team, other members, or the game.
  • Spreading toxicity, passive aggression, or targeted negativity in any form.
  • Sharing links to pages or servers that harbor toxic behavior toward Felvargs or its members.
  • Setting an inappropriate display name or profile image within our server.

We treat you with respect, and we expect the same in return. If at any time you feel unsafe or need support, please reach out to our team—we’re here to help.

Artwork & Literature Rules

All artwork and literature submitted for Felvargs-related activities must follow the rules below. These guidelines are in place to ensure fairness, creative integrity, and a consistent experience across the community. Violations may result in removal of submissions, forfeiture of rewards, or suspension from activities.

  • Tracing or any form of art theft is strictly prohibited. Stock photos may be used if proper credit is provided and the stock provider’s terms are followed. If you heavily reference another piece, you must clearly credit it in the description.
  • All submissions for group activities must be made specifically for Felvargs. Free-to-use lines or bases cannot be used for official activities. They are permitted for fun, references, or non-rewarded art—just be sure to credit the original artist.
  • Characters from other ARPGs may be included in regular activities if they meet both groups’ criteria and are lore-compatible. This rule applies only to standard activities.
  • Collaborations that are submitted for in-game rewards must show an equal artistic contribution from both creators. Signs of unequal or one-sided work will result in denied rewards or corrections. Special events and seasonal activities are especially strict—regular entries are more lenient.
  • NSFW content must be correctly filtered. Submissions without a filter will be declined.
  • Literature must be original and written from scratch. Plagiarism will result in serious penalties. Each piece should have a clear beginning and end, and stay focused on the objective of the prompt or activity.
  • Submissions must be unique. Work that appears recycled or too similar to prior entries will not be accepted for rewards.
  • Cheating will result in immediate banishment. This includes submitting duplicate images, backdating edits to meet deadlines, or otherwise manipulating entries to receive rewards more than once. The consequence includes the loss of your entire hoard and a full cache wipe.
  • If a Felvarg has received rewards or a piece was commissioned by another user, do not delete the work. This hinders reward tracking and negatively affects others. Deletion may result in suspension or removal from the group.
  • Felvargs uses a three-strike rule for most violations:
    • First offense: Warning
    • Second offense: 2-week suspension from activities
    • Third offense: 3-month suspension from activities
    Avoid strikes by never tracing or heavily referencing others’ work without proper credit.
