1. We understand that the story and characters are a little specific, but that’s how it's always been formed. We tried keeping it as vague as we could so that y’all can get as creative as you want. We just request that you PLEASE stick to the original pokemon story line and map, and the established facts about your characters. Even if things subject to change in the future as we write, at least let the history stay the same.
2. We abide by Gaia’s ToS here and we don’t want anyone thinking that the goal of this guild is strictly game play or getting frisky freaky with fan fiction for pokemon... There is a story involved you know.
3.We can’t strongly encourage this enough; be respectful to others! Let’s not leave anyone out as far as posting goes. If you see someone’s had to post on their own two or three times while in the pokemon world and you're in the area, maybe it’s time to include them. Think about it, if you were in their shoes posting wouldn’t be very fun alone would it? It's not going to be THAT much like the game..
4. Please post at least once every three days or once a week. If you’re unable to please let us know! Either through the OOC thread or message one of us. If you post it in the OOC thread quote us so we can find it with ease. If we hear no word from you wither it be a post or a PM after the second week, your role will be reopened to the public. And don't think that we don't communicate together cuz we do. We're in the same house for sakes lol. It'll end up being dinner table talk.
5. In the cases of those who like to play in the LGBT style of life, we commemorate your taste, but for the sake of this roleplay, try to keep your character’s preferences and the way they carry themselves more well rounded. Three way love triangles and romance is encouraged! But we won’t accept boys who are raging gay sex lovers. We’ve seen way too many of those submitted over our time on Gaia where they are not exactly suitable. For this specific guild we are allowing LGBT as long as it's just a trait and kept in tasteful fun.
6. We will be strict on who we accept! We can’t help but be picky with our fellow writers. Plain Janes, Sad Sallys, Tortured Tommys, and Badass Brandons are not accepted here as far as the real characters are concerned! Characters are to be well rounded like you’d find out in the real world. Real pictures only please for the live portion of this story. And no celebrities like Selena or Justin or any Twilight people ><. SO Annoying!! That reminds me, nobody named anything within reference to Bella. Sorry if you legitimately like the name, but everyone has ruined it for you.
7. Swearing is allowed. We admit that I am a heavy curser, but be reasonable with it. If we have to censor ourselves, so do you. Do not do it at every other word.
8. Please be semi-lit to lit. Post no less than 2 complete paragraphs per post. That’s 5 complete sentences. Writer's block is understandable, but not every post. No [], {}, **, or () for actions. Use "Lala" 's for talking, ‘italic‘ for thoughts, etc. I shouldn’t have to put this here but you never know…
9. Please make your post at least somewhat pretty. Doesn't have to be anything major if you don't want to. Just something pleasing to the eye. A picture would be nice as well as your character’s name and even role. Another thing as far as posting layouts go, please pick colors that don’t make people cringe at. Like Yellow! Geez, I don’t know why people do that… There's better alternatives like goldenrod of even gold.
10. Please pm all profiles to me or MzAA with your favorite style of music in the subject. Only after accepting that it's up to our standards will we let you post it in your own little thread in the Profile subthread. If anyone writes asking us where the profile layout is to copy, we will know that you have not read my rules, you will be sent the profile layout after your reserve/join request for the guild has been accepted. Tricky tricky tricky MzAA is =)
11. Everyone is expected to follow and complete the stages of the Guild just as you would in the real game. We will only allow those to skip if they are way too far behind to catch up on their own. We are doing in this way because if you time skip, your pokemon's levels will be off and out of timeframe. This should make sense and should not be a hard rule to follow.
12. New rules will be posted in a new color of my choice.
