1) You must, at all times, follow the Gaia Online TOS and the Beyond the Veil of Time guild rules.

2) All discussion in this forum must remain on topic - that topic being the events of the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and to a lesser extent, the contents of historical sources like the Sanguozhi, the Zizhi Tongjian, the Sanguozhi Pinghua, and extant primary sources from the period (e.g. Cao Cao's poetry) - and, to an even lesser extent, the contents of Yuan-period dramas about the Three Kingdoms era. Thread derailments will be scowled at very severely, and may lead to post deletions if not corrected. Threads that are off-topic to begin with will be moved, and posts that have no chance of being on-topic will be deleted.

3) Cite sources to back up your assertions.
-Bad: "Dude, Pang De is utterly fearless. He's soooooo badass."
-Good: "Dude, Pang De is awesome - in chapter 74, he takes his own coffin into battle against Guan Yu, of all people. Now that's hardcore, since Guan Yu is basically undefeatable."

4): No flaming. Attack the opinion, not the people, and attack it with your citations - not your rectum. Pulling things out of your a** will be considered an invitation for everyone to mock you, starting with me.


More to come as needed.
