QUESTION Why is the site spelled Shepard instead of Shepherd?
ANSWER The site is named after the original NPC character who ran the Shepard pack. He was the creator of the pack and is the one who wrote their song. His name was Shepard. Both the site and the pack get their name from him. Shepard never was and will never be played by a member of any rank.

QUESTION What size does my avatar/sig/table have to be?
ANSWER Avatars MUST be 100 by 100, you do not have to make it a circle by yourself, a code automatically does that. Signatures should not exceed 500 pixels in width and 400 pixels in height. Tables, likewise, should not exceed 500 pixels in width.
QUESTION How many regular characters can I have and what defines a regular character?
ANSWER "Regular" characters are characters that are ranked below the Beta ranks. You may have an unlimited number of these ranked characters.
QUESTION How many royal characters can I have and what defines a royal character?
ANSWER "Royal" characters are characters that are ranked at and above the Beta ranks. You may only have 1 alpha or heir and 1 beta but if the pack has ranks for their offspring that is in the same tier as the alphas and betas, you may have an unlimited number of those.
QUESTION Does SS ever have bans?
ANSWER Yes, but they are rare. The most common bans are those on gender, size and species. This usually happens when we have too much of a good thing. We do not however ban packs (loners can still be banned). This is because we encourage pack leaders to make recruitment threads and offer their new members rewards for joining up.
QUESTION Does my character have to belong to a pack?
ANSWER No, but loners are easily the biggest and most frequent ban we have. Please seriously consider a pack before you make the choice of being a loner.
QUESTION Do I have to purchase items solely from a member shop or the main shop?
ANSWER No, you are free to purchase from either. Member owned stores often stock out of stock items from the main store and for a reasonable price. The main store does not often stock once it is sold out so we highly encourage that you shop the circuit.
