You're are about wolves doing the whole I'm not going to kill you but you must also realize that as realistic as this dream may be. It isn't real wolves. Genes and DNA make real wolves these are people having mostly imagination to create their characters based off whatever.
Honestly the death of another really depends on the pair fighting, if you go up and try to take over a den and then expect not to have a chance of being killed and or severely injured then that's one thing. But as further stated in the posts above not everyone wants their character to be killed off.
Certain terms to killing are off, say someone walks in and starts a conversation. Maybe perhaps to join. Then an unruly member begins a fight and kills the visitor that's different. Basically killing and having the excuse of saying they were intruding.
Death Consent is put in place for a reason, if not then that and thrill killing would happen just because someone feels like fighting or killing someone for the fun of it. There are several opportunities where you could plan a spar or like on here a fight for fun where it doesn't affect your character ICly. Getting rid of it entirely causes problems but being tweaked a bit doesn't hurt.

16.) Death-Consent. This dream is a death-consent dream, this means that if you are in a fight situation between two characters and one of them wishes not to have their character die then it doesnt have to die. The only time this is overwritten is when packs or prides are battling, then anyone can die. You have to post that you dont want your character to die BEFORE you actually begin the rp fight, or else it will be deemed invalid. Redeemer is right, this rule is here for a reason. We used to have many problems with some players (let's call him Player A) attempting to engage others (Player B) in roleplay for the sole purpose of killing them. Player A would wait for Player B to make a single mistake - an insult, a gesture, anything - and claim to have a reason to kill them. We put the rule in place for these kinds of situations. Now, as the rule states, if there's a legit fight on the go then anyone can die. For example - if there's a huge fight between rival prides or if one wolf pack is trying to take over another's den. During those times, it's automatic non-consent and your character can die. So because of all that, we'll leave the rule in place. Thanks for bringing up your concerns though.

1. Write out the rule you disagree with: You can only have Alphas, Betas, Deltas, (etc.) 2. What number is it and what section is it in(forum rules, rp, etc): Number 7 in Den/Pack Rules 3. What do you not like about this rule? I think it makes everyone seem so... the same. As long as 4. What rule should be put in its place? Maybe a rule that says you may call the ranks whatever you want, as long as you tell what their "uniform name" would be, maybe next to it in parentheses or something. Also, you might want to include that you don't want people making up random names for the ranks, such as "jkegdwqi" is alpha, "Blob" is beta, etc. Maybe you use another ranking system that already exists if not the basic "Alpha, Beta" rank system?

That seems like a reasonable request. We'll see what Narkili has to say about it.

*As long as people weren't making up random names for the ranks, it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to tell who is what. (Sorry, I forgot that in my above post where it says "As long as") )

I think I'd add my own little... I guess twig, to this.
1. Write out the rule you disagree with: You can only have Alphas, Betas, Deltas, (etc.) 2. What number is it and what section is it in(forum rules, rp, etc):Number 7 in Den/Pack Rules 3. What do you not like about this rule? It's so classical and well, y'know! 4. What rule should be put in its place? I dunno. Probably one of the alternate name rule editions as mentioned before.
I have (or used to have) a pride in a totally 'nother dream. Basicly, it followed the 'alpha, ect' rules, but the ranks were cleverly called 'Master, digintary, outrider, gladiator, ect' and everybody was like, "Cool!" I don't really see why different rank forms like a sole leader, a second-incommand, and then a whole hoarde of followers would hurt all that much, other than, "What happens when the leader and the second-in-command are both gone? What if the leader and the second-in-command both die before they can appoint others to replace them?" Below, just to show y'all what I used, are the ranks I usually use whenever I tend to make a group.
Master(Leader) Deputary(Beta) General(Whatever comes after beta) Commanding Outrider Gladiator Warriors Hunters Fluffs(young) Mothers Dirt(omega)

Lol honestly this rule isn't really followed. Narki even changed around the rankings her in own pack. Plus this has been like the third time it's been pasted xD. So basically that rule is like invalid and she just needs to take it off.

I was just looking at the No-consent dealio, and I'll put my little input on it. When I roleplayed in WMH, or in YS which both are no-consent ( meaning, you don't need permission to kill the other person's character). All we did was continue to fight, untill one submitted. BUT if the other had not submitted, then you were obliged to beat the shit out of them untill they were dead or both characters were unable to continue because of exhaustion. This way, you dont have major wounds that would end up in your character dieng anyway, because i'm sure people have enough knowledge to know if your arm gets broken or ripped off, you'll die of either bloodloss or because wolves or any other animal typically wouldn't be able to survive out in the wild with 3 legs even if they DID survive and it didn't get infected.
