BANDS VS. HERDS

Q: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
A: The best way to describe a band would be as a "wandering herd". The difference is that herds stay in one claimed land, while bands are free to wander wherever they'd like, also a band can only consist of up to four members including the lead stallion/mare, and they can only steal twice a year whereas a herd may have an unlimited member count and can steal up to four times a year.

GENERAL BAND FAQ

Q: WHO CAN LEAD A BAND?
A: Any mare or stallion over the age of three.

Q: HOW IS A BAND FORMED?
A: If any mare or stallion over the age of three, claims one other horse, that creates a band.

Q: WHO CAN BE IN MY BAND?
A: There is a maximum of four members allowed in a band, including the band leader. Anyone the band leader claims becomes a part of their band.

Q: CAN I KICK MEMBERS OUT?
A: Yes! The only exception is foals under 1 yr old, who must be weaned before they leave.

Q: CAN MY LEAD STALLION/MARE FIGHT OTHER BAND/HERD LEADERS?
A: Yes! Your character may fight whoever s/he likes, including both herd and band leaders.

Q: WHAT ARE THE ACTIVITY RULES?
A: There is no band activity rule, since bands don't take up herd land and there can be an unlimited number of bands. However, if a stallion is inactive without excused leave, then a member may be able to leave, at the discretion of the leader/other members/staff.

Q: WHO CAN I STEAL FROM?
A: Any other herds or bands.
