RULES:
- Please abide by all Gaia ToS.
Please be polite at all times. Chatspeak is strongly discouraged. Don't spam the thread, if you feel the need to bump, try to make some conversation! Trolling is absolutely not tolerated at any time, nor is flaming. Let's all hold hands and eat some tofu and burn some patchouli, okay?
Please refrain from begging, whether it be for Kimeti, gold, or favours.
If participating in events, please accept the fact that you might not come out a winner. Try to be graceful whether you win or lose.
Newbies to the thread and to the B+C are perfectly welcome here. Please do your best to make them feel at home!
Roleplaying is an option, not a mandatory thing. You don't have to RP your Kimeti if you don't want to, but it is the only way to unlock special stages.
We encourage out-of-character chatter in the thread, of course, but please don't make this a place to air your personal life. [...] If almost everything you post is negative or contains details that will almost certainly make readers uncomfortable, please don't post it.
THE KIMETI:
- Kimeti are never to be sold. Evar!
It's okay to add your Kimeti to graphics for signatures, etc.; to crop them down, colourize them, or whatever to make them fit into your sig; but please do not perform any lineart edits. Use your good judgement here; obviously we're not telling you not to put a santa hat on them around Christmas or to doodle a French moustache on them if it amuses you. Just be sure and make a note that you did it.
The artwork in Matope is strictly for Matope's use. It is not to be lifted for any other shops. This is a particular concern for us due to the easily-pilfered nature of pixel art. If you suspect another shop of stealing Matope's art, please let us know via PM before flaming them. It could all be a misunderstanding.
Make sure your Kimeti's name follows the naming conventions! This cannot be stressed enough. Having the common thread of Matope names will add a sense of believability and community to the shop and to Matope.
Please keep all RP PG-13 or below! No one wants to see that D:
If you ever decide you want to get rid of your Kimeti (and there's really no reason you should ever feel obligated), please inform Matope and they will be distributed out to new homes. You may or may not have a choice in the question of where they go. Remember, once you give away a Kimeti, you can never arbitrarily take it back. It's not a decision to be made lightly!
While we try to cultivate a persistent storyline here on Kimeti, this is a delicate thing to handle if you're actually roleplaying in that storyline. Before deciding to RP some major event that would have huge repercussions (the return of the Legendary Kimeti, for example; or an earthquake or flood), please contact the mods for permission. If you have a great idea for a plot event or festival, please do the same!
