Pyrrhic is a literate, advanced canine roleplay for wolves and dogs of all breeds. These canis brethren team up on the island of Pyrrhus, a fictional continent set in the Pacific Ocean between California (United States) and Japan. In this place where canines rule, the inhabitants battle harsh weather, natural disasters, and tragedy in all forms. These dogs and wolves are challenged to meet every conquest they desire, but as dictates the definition of the site, you never win without a loss...

03/08/12 › nile: Here I am. Just shy of a year later, I am back to check up on Pyrrhic. The reality to me is that I cannot run this site without Tre, Mutt, Nali, and the others who so influenced what Pyrrhic was all about. To those three especially, I am so sorry, and so deeply ashamed. For those who do not know, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September of 2011. Now, in March of 2012, I have gotten the official clearing from my oncologist that I am completely cancer-free. The cancer is something I don't want to let become a part of my life, but roleplaying is. This site would be lonely without those three, who were truly the best friends I've ever had online. I have been to other sites under the alias of "South," simply because I am almost embarrassed to show my name knowing how much I left.

For those interested, I will have a new site up and running within the next few months. This one, I promise not to leave. The past few months of fighting have taught me to grow up and what I feel is important and what it takes to make and keep me happy. I apologize to all who miss Pyrrhic. I do too. Click here for New Maine, my new wolf roleplay site. To those I have lost touch with, I urge you to drop me a message. More than Pyrrhic or roleplaying or my characters, I have missed the people I was so close with. I am so sorry to all of you. Maybe one day, the gang will come back together and Pyrrhic can be returned to what she was before life got in the way.

07/27/11 › tre: Im very sorry to everyone who was looking forward to plotting and character development here at Pyrrhic. With Nile being to stressed with her real life, presumabaly, it's been hard to run the site on my own. Without having all of the information and powers to run the site on my own, it's just not feesable for me to continue. Maybe one day Nile will return to Pyrrhic, bring her back to her former glory. Until then, farwell all. I hope we can keep in touch. If you don't mind giving wolves a try, please try my other site, Anikira!

06/16/11 › tre: In hopes to jumpstart activity around here and possibly begin brainstorming a site wide plot, I've posted postition auditions for both the Duarte Brotherhood and the Vargen Sovereignty. They're in the Staff Announcement board. As an incentive, any of your characters accepted into either group, you'll earn points for. Just how many you ask? Well, go check out the threads and find out!! Another one of my surprises should be up within the next week hopefully. ^.~

06/02/11 › tre: Happy June everyone!! Okay, so there's really nothing special about June, unless your birthday is in June, or you're a father... : ) At any rate, all of the members who did not reply to the activity check have been deleted, their accepted and uncompleted characters moved to the archives. Old work in progress characters that were not finished and accepted were also moved. If you want to resurect your unfinished charrie, you can... But for a price of 30 points each. Even with all of that done, old threads were moved to the archives as well. Next on my list is updating the sidebar information.
I also have a few surprises for everyone that you'll see popping up within the next couple of weeks. ^^

05/30/11 › tre: Today is the last day for the Activity Check. Please be aware, to all new members, you must post a reply in the activity check as well. All replies after 11:59 tonight will be considered null and void. (Maybe.) ^^ Catch you all later.

05/26/11 › nile: Yeah, bitches. Look who this update is from. Thought you got rid of me, did you? MUAHAHAHA, NEVERRRR. I am back, full-fledged, with an open schedule, no more high school, and a dictator-like reign to whip you all back into place. Tre's too nice; she may let you all sit comfortably and have simple, pleasant moments in the cbox; but no more. The slavedriver's back, ladies and gents.
My friend Andrew has just finished up his sixth round of chemotherapy, and while he's still sick, he's proved to everyone what a fighter he is. The doctors are hopeful, and I'm so sure that he's gonna make it out of this with grace. And high school is over, so here I am!
In the next day or two, I'm going to compile myself a list of shit to get done. I'll make a thread so you can help me. And, expect a bit of an aesthetically pleasing surprise in the near future. ;)
Thanks for sticking with me, guys. Your kindness and support has been incredible, and I'm so happy to have such an amazing community here and at Anikira. ♥

05/23/11 › tre: A mass email has been sent out to all members informing them of the current activity check. There are only 8 days left to reply!
On a lighter note, I want to personally congratulate our members 'Nali and H.ostile for their work in the thread nobody here but time. In two days the pair managed to complete a full thread that was done very tastefully. Not to mention, it is the first completed thread on Pyrrhic! Each has been award 25 points for their success.

05/15/11 › tre: You'll find the activity check here! Please post by May 30th or risk losing your account/status on the site.

05/13/11 › tre: It's been a while since we admins posted an Update and with a few minutes of free time in my busy life, I decided I'd just let everyone know what's happening around Pyrrhic, and my ideas on why activity has been so slow. First off, Nile is currently dealing with a good friend of her fighting cancer, so to everyone, please be respectful of her low activity because of this. I'm sure she'll pop in every now and then, but don't get frustrated with the site because our Head Admin isn't around during this crucial period of her life. Have some sympathy. Other than that, I expect to see activty pick up more after school gets let out and most of us are finished with our finals. I'm just trying to find the time between work and household chores to post. I'll be putting up an Activity Check here pretty soon to weed out the inactive members who join and forget about us. So be looking for that within the next week. Other than that, I hope you guys are getting out and enjoying the nice weather (at least hopefully it's nice where you live!).

04/18/11 › nile: Hey, guys! I haven't made an update in a whole day so I've decided to use this space to share some updates and developments in the site. First off, congratulations to Kappa and Mudbug, our new staff members! They were announced at our 20 member bash, which concluded with a webcam dance party. There I am, singing and dancing, and making a fool of myself no doubt. If you want to see my dancing in all it's glory, drag that image to the URL bar. Another new feature is our new mascot! See him to the left of the chatbox in the footer. His name is Cornelius Gatsby, and he is the richest, most classy Magikarp you've ever seen. In other news, I recently ate some c-nuggs (chicken nuggets from McDonalds- my McArteries are sure to clog one of these days). Good day to you.

04/16/11 › nile: TODAY IS THE MEMBER BASH!
THE PARTY THREAD.

04/15/11 › nile: Hey guys! Just a remember that the member bash is tomorrow, April 16th. If you can be online at any point during the day, please do! We'll have all kinds of fun things to do, and I hope everyone can participate! On another note, I bet you've noticed the teaser staff images. ;) There will be two moderator positions and one skinner position to be filled. The new staff members will be announced tomorrow, so PLEASE try and be present for that as well!

04/12/11 › nile: WUDDUP PYRRHIC? I have two important threads for you look at today.
mandatory member headcountmember bash info
The first of these is a MANDATORY member count- yes, that means that you, YES YOU, have to post in it with your name and your characters. Whether you are a new member or an old one, please make sure you post here. The second thread concerns our 20 member bash. Please check it out, cast your vote, and send in your input! OUR MEMBER BASH WILL BE SATURDAY, APRIL 16th!

04/11/11 › tre: My first official update! Let's hear a round of applause please. Yes, bow down to your administrator! -cackles- Haha, okay, now for the serious stuffs. First off, I would like to welcome all the new members and introduce myself to you since I was m.i.a. when you all arrived. My name is Tre, I like to reading and taking long walks on the beach. I prefer sunrise to sunset - oh wait. Wrong forum! ^.~ I've read everyone's accepted character bio's and breezed through those that are incompleted at the moment. I can't wait to start roleplaying with all of you. You all seem very talented in your own ways.
On another topic, take a look at the cbox! Oh my goodness gracious - it's been upgraded! No more refreshing! Whoo-hoo!!! -let's party!- I figured since Pyrrhic has come a long way in just a few short days, I wouldn't mind spending the $6.00 to upgrade (mostly because I hate missing out on a conversation due to lack of refreshing). I hope you all enjoy the improvement to our wonderful site as much as I do.

04/09/11 › nile: Another update for you all: I'm working on trying to upgrade the cbox, but due to the fact that I don't turn 18 until June, I can't get a credit card before then. The plus side to having an upgraded cbox is being able to register your names, and NO REFRESHING to get new messages; it literally runs just like an instant messenger. See other advantages here. It costs $6 USD to upgrade our cbox for three months. If anyone wishes to donate that $6, the payment is secure, and goes straight to the cbox website, never to Pyrrhic (so don't worry, no one's taking your money). If you're interested in upgrading this, you'll get site-wide recognition as well as two extra wolf character slots, or two characters with unusual characteristics. To learn more, go to cbox.ws/upgrade.php. Our site's username is "pyrrhicrpg." Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this!

04/08/11 › nile: SWEET MOTHER FUNGUS. WE'VE GOT TEN MEMBERS?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? Oh yeah, while I was at school and work. xD Seriously though, you guys never fail to amaze me. This site has taken off so much in the short few weeks we've been open, and I'm so excited. Please let me know if you've recruited any members, because you'll get +50 points! ;D Otherwise, I'll probably be making a site-wide PM here pretty soon to explain the situation at hand as far as the packs go, and let everyone here give me some feedback on the system to see what we can do better.

04/06/11 › nile: Wow. -sniffle- I'm so proud of everyone on this site! Tre has been appointed as my new administrator, so you may see some announcements up here from her too soon. :'D Just a reminder to ADVERTISE FOR PYRRHIC! You can find the advertisement in the designated area at the bottom of the forum, in the OOC section. Otherwise, keep up you guys' awesome work. All of the mini-plotting going on is sure to be fantastic, and the sooner we gather a larger member base, the sooner we can go about a possible site-wide plot... ;) Keep it up, Pyrrhic!

04/02/11 › nile: Want to read a REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT thread? GO HERE. Also, a big shout out to 'Nali, who has made our first in-character thread! I'm looking forward to a great start. If you have any other sites you'd like to advertise on or affiliate with, feel free to post on it! Just let me know if you've made an affiliation request so I can fill it.

04/02/11 › nile: Things have been running really great! A shout out goes to 'Nali, Tre, and Daci, our three first members! :D Welcome, guys. TO ANY NEW MEMBERS: Please realize that this site is still under slight construction! There are a few more info-type updates to do, as well as some character creation type stuff on my part. Bear with us, though. I think this site's got a lot of promise to be a lot of fun! Also, if you feel you're qualified, please check out the Staff Application thread; a link is supplied to you under my staff button in the sidebar.

03/31/11 › nile: I think we might be done here, folks. o_o The only things left to update are the shop, the staff application, and my own personal character. And I'm too excited to wait anymore, so I'm going to declare Pyrrhic OPEN FOR BUSINESS. ♥

03/30/11 › nile: This may very well be one of the very last announcements/updates I'll make before the site is finished! I'm making really great progress, and I'm hoping to have everything up and running by April 1st or 2nd. Wish me luck!

03/25/11 › nile: Since the skin is working rather properly, it's time for me to create all of the boards and content. xD Luckily, I've saved myself enough graphics work to do that I don't think I'll be pain-stricken enough to quit. xD The concept for the site is coming along nicely, and I'm really excited to be doing the content, even if I do hate this part.

03/21/11 › nile: So much work to do! After finally picking a name and a theme, Pyrrhic has been created. After an even more grueling battle, the skin is (starting) to come together. My mediocre coding skills don't help. Either way, I'm hoping to have this site up-and-running by the first week of April!
› member ranking system
› fresh meat: This is the initial, starting rank. If you never post and leave your account idle, you'll stay like this forever, and all the other members will eat you. You are fresh meat, after all. This rank has 0 stars.

› underdog: Have you posted one time in-character? Good, then that means you're an Underdog! Perhaps the easiest rank to obtain, all you've got to do is post your character's biography. This rank has 1 yellow star.

› mutt: Once you've posted 15 in-character posts, your rank will move up to Mutt. You're like a shelter dog; your owners love you, and you're (hopefully!) pretty healthy, even if we can't identify what breed you are. This rank has 2 yellow stars.

› purebred: 25 in-character posts means that you're a Purebred. Congratulations, you are at the top of the dog world, and you could place best in show at the Eukanuba ACK National Championship. But don't get big-headed, you're not quite the top dog. This rank has 3 yellow stars.

› hybrid: Have you posted 50 in-character posts? Holy crap. You must be a wolf-dog Hybrid. Everyone knows that wolves are the coolest, most ballin' breed of canine out there; but unfortunately for you, you're only 50%. Don't worry, though. Hybrids are the best breed of canine you can legally keep in your house. This rank has 4 yellow stars.

› wolf: This is the highest non-staff rank you can earn here at Pyrrhic. After 75 in-character posts, we fully believe that you deserve to be the largest, most powerful species of canine in the world; not to mention the fact that you're probably pretty gorgeous. This rank has 5 yellow stars.

› staff ranking system
› moderator: This is the most basic staff rank. Moderators patrol the boards, making way for justice and chewing-gum-free school desks. The Moderators do what their name suggests; they moderate the behavior of members on the site, as well as help out with anything that needs done. You'll know you're talking to a Moderator when you see their name, for it will be an orange color. This rank has 5 blue stars.

› coder: The Coders of Pyrrhic are the ones that help Nile with all of her coding issues (which are MANY). These staff members should not be bothered with trivial questions about the site, but rather with questions about the skin and codes on the site. The names of the Coders are in a kelley green color. This rank has 5 blue stars.

› global moderator: Global Moderators are the next step up in the staff hierarchy. They have almost as much power as an Administrator does; the only differences are minor. Global Moderators' names are a soft blue color. This rank has 6 blue stars.

› administrator: Administrators are the best thing since sliced bread. No, really, they are. The site's Administrators aid the Head Administrator in keeping the site looking pretty, and managing members when they get out of hand. Administrator's names are in a dull red color. This rank has 6 red stars.

› head administrator: The Head Administrator of Pyrrhic is Nile. She's so cool that she gets her own title and name color; purple! This rank has 7 purple stars.
