The Rules

bottom line___this is how it is all going down
1. Follow the Terms Of Service (TOS)...This should be common sense for all of you!
2. This guild does not mind and often encourages romance and violence. However, we ask that you restrain yourself. There IS such a thing as being TOO descriptive! Anything that approaches X-rated is definately not allowed! We do not care if that is what you like. Too bad! Do that somewhere else because it is not allowed on Gaia! We do allow some R-rated type materail but do not push it!
3. Swearing is allowed but please do not swear excessively! It is not only unnecessary and against Gaia's Terms Of Service, it is rude.
4. All your posts should be literate to semi-literate! Writers block is understood but please try to get through it. This is another obvious rule, which everyone should be able to follow...if you can not then this guild is probably not for you. I just want to remind you that grammer, punctuation, and spelling do matter! A few mistakes every now and then is understandable, but please try your best to make sure all of that is correct! Thank you!
5. To add on to the last rule, chat speak is definately not allowed. This is a literate guild. Other than in Out Of Character posts, there is no reason for you to use chat speak. Also, no ** [] () -- for actions. Use "" for talking and italics for thinking.
6. Keep Out Of Character (OOC) posts to a minimum please! That is what Private Messages (PMs)
7. No one is allowed to use their avitar as their roleplay character's appearence. Pictures or detailed descriptions is the scurate way to show your character or characters' appearence.
8. There is to be no godmodding here. For God's sake, take a hit or two. You're not immortal even vampiers. There's always some way to kill you or make you bleed.
9. Bumping and advertising is not allowed in the roleplay forums! It is annoying and takes up the page. If you would like to advertise your roleplays, or whatever, we have a forum made specifically for that reason. Use that or your signiture.
10. Please do not use large or tiny fonts. Small (size 9) and normal (size 12) are appropriate.
11. Continuing on from rule number ten: if you have more than one character in a single roleplay please make each of them a different color to help others.
12. If you join more than one roleplay, or have more than one character, please make sure to keep up with each of them!
13. Please do not ignore the other characters in the roleplay, or roleplays, you are in. Everyone wants to have fun and be included. However, do not always expect people to approach you when you make a random post. If you want to be noticed and included hten make an effort to enclude their post in yours.
14. Please keep your roleplays neat and organized. It helps not only in making your roleplay appear more attractive but it helps others when trying to get information from it.
15. You must remain active. Unless you speak to me or keeper208 about being gone for a while and we approve your reason, you will be banned for being inactive. If something happens and you are not able to get on for a while, and you are not able to tell us before hand, please let us know what happened as soon as you are able to get on again. We are very understanding! So do not panic! You should be active in the guild atleast two or more times a week.
16. As the Captain and Vice-Captain, keeper208 and I (riny_mew) have the upmost authority over everything that occurs in this entire guild, including any roleplay or post you make in this guild. We promise to be fair and will not do anythig unreasonable. We only want the best for you and this guild.
17. Once you have read all the rules, please go straight to the Introductions forum and post your personal introduction!
