Here at Godless members have the chance to create their own packs. However, there are several steps that need to be completed before you even consider making a pack. It's important to note that Godless can only support 5 packs at a single given time.[break][break]


[break]

Currently The Godless cannot support any new packs at this moment. Once the other three packs have filled up to a reasonable size, this will become open. Until then feel free to continuing reading the guide to prepare for the future. Thank you for your understanding![break][break]

There are steps and procedures that need to be followed. Please follow the bullet points below to a T.[break][break]

1. First things first, in order to create a pack the store item Alphahood will need to be purchased.
2. Next you'll need to pick a name for your pack, decide on its color group, and pitch your pack idea to the staff team. **Staff will be available at all times during this process**
3. With the approval of all three Forum Guardian's, one will need to garner interest in this potential pack before a claim thead can be made. Make some noise, ask members if they are interested in joining. You'll need a total of 5 different characters from 5 different members that will be willing to join this new pack.
4. Once you've gained enough interest you are then required to make a claim thread. The leader of the pack should be the one creating the claim thread. The claim thread should be posted in an unclaimed region. You must wait 24 hours unchallenged for your claim to be deemed successful.
5. If your claim has gone unchallenged then your pack is considered official. An about page and member directory will need to be created immediately. You'll have 48 hours to get these threads up before your pack will be disbanded by the staff. 24 hour extensions will be given by staff if requested, but after that the threads must be posted.

An alternative to packs, factions are groups of 3-5 canines (no more than 10) that decided to group and live together. If you are not wanting to deal with defending your territory and the responsibility with having a pack, a faction might be right for you. Only 2 factions are allowed at a single time on The Godless. Factions are similar in structure compared to packs except for the following points outlined below.[break][break]

• Factions don't have special ranks. (I.e Seawardens, Consorts, Preservers, Bloodkeepers, etc)
• Factions do not have claimed territories. They are nomadic and generally travel to different areas on a consistent basis. Temporary homes are unable to be defended when/if another pack seeks to claim that land.
• Each faction is led by a single canine who will act as the leader of that faction. The name is decided by the group/leader. (I.e alpha, ringleader, spokesperson, empress, king/queen, etc)
• Unique worker ranks (the normal class for packs) can be created in factions, however, ranks must be clearly defined and explained in the factions about page.
• Much like packs, factions need about pages, a member list, etc.
• Characters that have undefined ranks will be listed as 'Vagabonds'.
• In order to create a faction the store item 'factions' must be purchased.

Note: factions will need to choose a name and color that will be distinguishable from other user groups. It is also a requirement that a leader of a faction have 35 posts with 3 or more characters from 3 different roleplayers.[break][break]
