The rules are simple.
The do's
Please keep your hands inside the casket at all times.
Be polite - Kindness is appropriate for fellow mourners (and may earn you an item)
Use good grammar and language - Keep it leet free, and pg-13
Say thank you - It's only polite, and no one likes rudeness, not even the dead.
Do have patience - I am only human after all, and amongst the living, so my life on Gaia gets interrupted time to time.
Keep bumping to a minimum - If it's for a contest this is fine, but random bumping we frown upon. It makes finding requests difficult.
Do be reasonable on your requests. - A lot of it is first come first served. Please keep this in mind when you get told I am out of stock of something. You will simply be put on the list for the next available one. Unless you whine, and complain, and then I will ignore you.
Above all DO have some fun.
The don'ts
Do not advertise your thread here - This is likely to make me unhappy, and it's bad form (and is liable to make it so you get nothing)
Do not ask for others to bump you back. - Too many people asking that and we'd all be lost.
No page stretching - AT ALL. I have a limited attention span, and if I have to scroll to read you, I will ignore you. This goes for bumps, contests, and general chatter. I will never page stretch, and therefore you shouldn't either.
Do
not request more than one time. We understand people like to give gifts etc, but seriously, give other people a chance to get something!
Rules for those requesting items from the departed:
Please fill out this form, and post it in the thread. I will check these daily, please do not pm me, as this only serves to fill my inbox, and results in my getting ticked. You don't want to see me ticked. If a request is made, and there is no form, you'll be ignored.

Questers and thread chatters will be given priority over random posts from people I see only once or twice. Those doing strictly graphical bumps will be ignored. Those doing quests please be reasonable as this is run on donations, and I can't go out and buy things for people. If I don't have it listed, I don't have it at the moment, but if you're willing to go onto the waiting list, then feel free to request.
Bear in mind if your quest thread is relatively new, or not active, you will not be given priority. I do not want to see a thread with only three posts for Horns of the Demon (or anything else for that matter), and then expect you'll get it. Especially if someone else has 100+ pages for theirs.
Donations can be sent either as anon. presents, or by trade, with the words "Charity items." These will be kept for offering, and "Donating Items" will either be put up for the Charity, or in the case of smaller common items, sold for liquid assets, and used for supporting the Charity.
Gold may be given in lieu of an item for some quests, and likely will be in the case of most higher priced items. An Ancient Katana may not be possible, but if one is willing to take a small gold assistance instead, that can be arranged.
List of Pallbearers. (The good folk that help run the charity, and other honorable mentions.)
1. Irian Shin, co founder.
2. Lirilei, co founder.
3. Aki Norikaeru, for donating Gold to us, and a Chyaku Norisu Scarf to one of our mourners!

List of Graverobbers. (The not so nice folks, as well as the reasons why.)
1.
Mil-A-day-Give-Away - Why? Because Sinelo called Irian emo, and told her to leave the guild. How rude. EVERYONE knows she's not emo. Just weird.
2.
MevvSan - Recipient of the random donation. of the week. Answered correctly, and yet, didn't even bother to thank us. Slight pet peeve of both admin. Sure she listed us on her quest thread, but couldn't bother with a quick thanks.
