Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello brotherhood.

(For Leader-sama;I apologize for the guild leader for making rules on my own.. however.. we need them badly. So if you feel need to change them you are very free though where you need my promission? It is your guild.. I try to be only for an assistant.. not take over the leadership.)

As you all can see we have started an RP what ofcourse is fun. But we lack some rules in here and we all do understand we need ones to avoid some fights and unneccesery flame partys. right?
I'm quite sure most of you have RPed before too but it does not mean you are a pro and can do what you think. Rules belongs to everyone and even they might not please you tehy are here and you need to remember them. No matter what for already told reasons. Let us get started then shall we?

--Guide to the RP--

As I have said.. most of you propebly ahve RPed before but it don't mean your good at it if you played few months and in 5 RPs. There is few unwritten laws old RPers respects and uses. Respect, litarate RPs and logick. with these you should get quite fine in the world of RP. However.. these are not the only things you have to remember and I shall explain what I mean by them later on if you keep continuing to read this. (I suggsest you do).

--the things that are haited in RPs--

1- ** marks.
-Most people who have played longer dislikes gratly these marks. However.. if your new and don't know it they usually asks you to stop. If you continue.. i may cost some ignorence toward you even they notify your character.. but they might not like to RP with you so much.. this is basickly not becose they dislikes you.. they dislikes your ignorance and your attidute. By this I asume ofcourse you have said something or ignored the comment complitely.) most rules in RP forums and guilds forbids ** marks for this reason. However.. in OOC you can use them freely.

2- literate RPs
-Many people apreceate the text you do for the RP. Short sentences like *dodges and laughs at you* are laughed and mostlikely.. the literate people start ignoring you in the name of logickal thinking. This bugs many people.. It does not explain anyway how it was possible for your character to dodge and i also tells you don't have eather.. Why to play with someone who don't know how to play? If you have writers-block.. meaning you can't think nothing to write.. say it if you about to post a very short message so you are not mixed up with n00bs, noobs and Godmodders. Even you have block.. try your best to write something. Dont force it though.

3- To post like experienced people
-leave the ** marks away and just write what your chara does, hears, smells, tasts, sees and feels. To talk use "plase spoken text here". To think use i font in the message writing mode. this is the thinken text or you can use B or different color for thoughs.. there are some other wasy too like doing nothing at all. However.. using "text here", ___thought may confuse some people becouse it is between "". So this coses many times some 'mind reading' sessions and for this.. I do not recoment them.

4- leaving from the action
-It is gratly hated if people uses magick tricks middel of fight. For example. You and your kage has started a fight over the title of kage. He writes what his chara do and then it is your turn.. You can't think nothing to answer or you have to go to sleep and decaide to write: *Leaves with a poof* or then you just leave without saying a word. You have to respect your opponent and the RP your in by saying with OOC that you have to go and you'll be back tomorrow to finish it. If you have to go for a trip.. resolve the fight before leaving.. RPers don't wait 7days just to get something done with you.. not only that but they don't trust you anymore and you easily are left behaind. When bouth know that the other RPer have to go soon try to solve the battel soon.. meaning that RP it to end and the other RPer don't start an pursue.. it would be unfair becouse the other one was going and you just would send yourself a trap..

5- in battels/attacking
-Respect and use the logickal thinking. Your a fool if you think people like doing *dodges* *attacks* *dodges* *attacks* posts. Therefore.. use proper posts or don't start a fight. If someone attacks just run as long as he/she gives up. Don't pic people up unless you prepeard for the dislike of your character after that.. Also.. Attacking a kage is a suicide job. Not only the kage is strongest in the village but kage has usually ANBUs as bodyguards near him/her. You alone can not defeat all of them thus the whole village is going against you for attacking the kage.. Thus.. becouse of your action against kage propebly makes some actions with your home village.

6- the villages and jutsus
-Every village is different and jutsus and different elements. You can not have more elements than max two. Meaning.. if you can use grand fire ball jutsu and water dragon.. You can not use earth styles or wind styles. You have chosen fire and water and thats it. Even kages ahs only two.. Kakuzu is only excepsions sinche his hearts. however.. if tehy are ripped away he don't have all eather..
Each village has usually one main element. Mist has water, Sand has earth and so on. Also there is different kind of weakness rounds. Think of this when fighting.
(pic of weakness things added alter)

7- walking around the world
- Perhaps you don't want to stay at your village all the time and want to go for an other village. That is fine but if you do that find the realtionships of the villages. You can't go for shopping in Sand if Sand and your village is in war now can you? instead.. most logick plan is to go for a village that has allianced with your home village. There for you don't need a pass but you can't start a meaningless fight eather. If it is netural relationships between the villages and you decaide to enter.. what ever happens there is unknown. And you can NOT be in tree villages at same time. Only the one you currently are in. If you get hurt and are in allianced village you can use that countrys hospital.. running all the way to your home village is against logick.. if your wounded you propebly would be dead to blood loss or in sickness in reality.

8- Identety.
-Do not use "I" or "you" or only "him/her". It don't tell your characters name and there fore all can't know who your character is. Instead of these use your characters name as soon as possible in your RP text. Ex: Heisuke came in. Now you know it is Heisuke and if needed can serch my profile of him more easy. This don't mean you have to continue using the name trough the whole post. After your identifaction you can use him/her. Instead of using "you" use the characters name you are talking/acting to. Ex: "Hi" Heisuke said to Toushirou. Now Toushirous RPer can know it was ment to im and not to half of the world.

9- don't talk n00b
-Do not use n00b language. It does not make you look cool and it is not so hard to write two more letters for word "you". Meaning.. don't use "u"..
Tho make it omplitely clear.. don't talk " U r so cool 2, 4ever u kno bro? w3 l00ve u!!!!111".. that is just horrible and makes many hate you for that. So use the proper spelling. Mistakes are ok and you don't have to be the lord of english to RP. Just try your best and do not make mistakes in purpose.

10- emoticos
-Don't use them please. It is not hard to write what expression your character uses. If your outlander and don't know what the expression is called use dictionary. If you don't have one there is free ones in net. Use them. (link for one is added later). Not only it is annoying way to RP it makes your RP text look stupid.. and that is actual truth what most people think of it..

--small dictionary--

To tell what some things you need to know means. Words like n00b, noob, emo, RP, emotico rape, braking caplock and etc. Hope it makes you wiser and now know now better what parts of my talk and parts of others talks means.

-n00b and noob/newb

They look same but basicklt are not. Noob is someone who has just came and don't know how to do the things in real way but he/she learns to do it right trough mistakes or observing others.
Now then n00b is someone who may be new or is not new but acts like one though he/she knows or should know that it is stopid and annoys people. Like using the n00b talk knowing that no-one likes it. He/she do not take advices what are given and starts to fight back them and don't use his/her brains and tries to flame all who do not act like he/she wants. But usually i turns out that everyones laughs at the n00b.
It is sad that you get too easilly called n00b these days since not many knows the difference anymore.

-RP, RPer

RP is only a shorter of Role Play and RPer is Role Player. Simple.
RP has many forms so don't get mixed. RP is the text role play(like this guilds RPs). RPG is role play game for consols(Disgaea, Final Fantasy). MMORPG is multiple players role play game in net(runescape, conqueronline, mythwar, warcrawt)
-Emotico rape.

It is what you hear if someone puts the emoticos in line or putting way too many emoticos to his/her text. just like in RP.. in normal talk it also looks stopid. Don't over use them. few are fine and funny put putting too many is hurting eyes and therefore.. "raping" them.

-"braking the caplock"

It actually is part of n00b talk or fanboy/girl talk. "I LUV SASEKE ZOMG LOLZ!!!!111" You don't have to yell to make your point and big text like that is called yelling so if you say you are not yelling after this you are laughed at. Also you are most likely asked to eather fix your caplock or then they ask did you broke it for too much use. It is sarcasm and is ment to make fun of the n00b talk user.. You only kick yourself answering them that you did not brake your caplock.

-emo

we all know Sasuke is emo? wrong. He is not. Word emo is actually not the shorter of "emotional" as many thinks. It actually is musick.. It's punk musick with sad, seöfpity words and such.. the fans of emo musick thinked it would be cool to selfpity and cut themself so they were then called emo. So.. does Sasuke cut himself? no.. does he lisen self pity songs and say no-one cares him? no.. Also he has good reason to act the way he does.. wouldn't you feel bitter if your whole famely and neigborhood would be killed just becouse someone was bored? (I know why Itachi killed his best friend and what he says that why he killed the clan so lets not go to that)

if you want more words explained post it and I shall add it if I think it is worth answering.

last edit 2.2.2007 by No_more_pain

I would just like to thank you for making these rules they are really good. Must of taken you a while so thank you 3nodding

not sure if dan is gona be happy tho about someone making rules in his guild.

Nicely done.

As for the character request thing... I'm going to open a sticky so that people who role play as Naruto characters can post which character they play as. That way newbies can find it easily and we shouldn't have many requests for ones that are taken.

3nodding

good idea. I was a little worried of how all know that becouse as I said long ago in an other tread.. no-one is going to flap 100 pages to know some chara. ^^; same goes that no-one wants to flip 100pages to know what charas are taken ^^;

im fine with rules. good job smile
