Rules

1. No harrassment. AKA no insulting members or their horses, no sending chain letters, no spamming, etc. You will be either suspended or expelled by the court/police if you are found doing that. I leave control over punishment for that up to them.

2. You start out with only $100,000 and five horses. That should be more than enough. You can earn more money by getting a job as a bank teller, a police officer, or a humane officer. You can view information on those jobs on their respective pages.

3. We do use cash as well as checks. No credit cards. When you use cash, however, a bill of sale must be sent to the bank manager so he/she can transfer the money over. More information on how the bank works on the bank page.

4. Do NOT link to other games! You are allowed to participate and even own another game, just don't link to them. I will deal with it personally if I find a person doing so.
