I'm sure you're asking yourselves, "Is this really needed"? The answer my friends is, "yes," because we want to make sure we cover all our bases.
Da Rules
1. Respect Gaia TOS. I don't think I even have to mention this one, but to be safe.
2. WE DO NOT BAD MOUTH OTHER GUILDS PEOPLE ARE A PART OF IN THIS GUILD. We've already had a bad case of it and I don't care honestly who is right and who is wrong, just don't bring it here. If someone cares to support a guild and post about it in our guild then you WILL be respectful and not say anything condescending about their guild. This will just result in fights we don't need.
3. Try and be as courteous to your fellow role-players as possible. We are trying to set a good example for all and the last thing we need is a couple jerks giving us a bad name. If you don't like someone...just ignore them.
4. We spell our words out here! Unless there is a circumstance in which any text talk or anything else of the nature is appropriate to use, we will spell out words here (however I will not hound you greatly about it either if you are new to this whole thing).
5. In the general section (this section in other words) you don't have to be in character unless a role-play topic has been created and it states such.
6. No Eiffel Towers! What I mean by that is, you can quote, but if it gets waaaay too big, please make a brand new comment or take their last quote and reply to just that.
Note: I would just like to make it clear, if any arguments from the outside are brought in I will not tolerate it. This is meant to be a peaceful escape for people, not a hell. I have ZERO tolerance for anyone who intends to start trouble without proper cause and I will ban those who do create this sort of chaos for fun or what have you. I just want that to be VERY very clear.
Lastly:
Every member gets three warnings before banning. Should you break any of the guild rules up to or even over stepping the three rule policy, you will be banned immediately.

Mission Statement / Goals
Greetings and welcome Role-players. For those of you who would like to know our plans and future aspirations here they are for your reading pleasure:
The F. W. L. F. W. R. want to create a positive role-playing environment for role-players of all skill and will not discriminate based on age, race, color, creed, etc. We eventually one day would like this to be a thriving role-players reference tool, guide, and more. We are dedicated to creating an environment that is comfortable for all and we want you to know, the role-players, that your opinions matter to us very much so. You, the role-players, have motivated us to create this haven/sanctuary away from all the non-lits/text-talkers and whatever else that is out there you or I might not appreciate or like. I realize it sounds like we are being arrogant and above many, but all we really want is a place where we can peacefully develop our skills as role-players and have some form of informational index to help us connect with others like us. This place is also dedicated to the friendships that have thus been created through the roleplay experience and would like to help maintain those experiences in some way. We hope you enjoy your stay and if we can do anything to make it better let us know.
~Sincerely,
~Captain G. N-Delicourix
~Vice-Captain Alaric Rose
~Crew: silvershadowfang

Guild FAQs
The title alone should be enough to give away what this particular section is about. Read on if you think you have a question:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Does the guild have a specific storyline it follows?A: The guild does not have a specific storyline it follows. The guild is a free-form RP environment and the subforums are where you create your worlds, storylines, and characters. The main forum of the guild is considered the out of character realm so unless your topic says that it is an RP you are always considered out of character in the main forum section of the guild. In the subforums however these are the in character realms and should be treated as thus, unless otherwise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is currently being worked on at this time.A: This is the section for, but not limited to, the people who are new to role-playing or are not just yet confident in their role-play abilities to move on to something like Adept/Intermediate or Elite (in the case they are that good). Those of you who feel like RPers in training, this is your topic to play with so if you want to create a tavern a whole new world, go for it, we encourage it!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is the Adept (Intermediate) Role Players Field?A: This is where those role-players who feel more confident or have had a few years of experience role-playing, and don't feel quite confident yet to go into the Elite/Master field. Those of you who consider yourselves intermediate, this is your play field and you can do what you want with. You can build a all new world, a tavern for all us folks in the guild or anythign else, we encourage your creativity!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is the Elite (Oldbie/Master) Role-Players Field?A: This is where those who feel most confident in their role-playing abilities play. They can role-play novel style or what have you or start an idea for some kind of role-play game that's been in their head for the longest time. We encourage your creativity!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is the Battle Arena?A: Well I thought this would be obvious, but since you're honestly stumped I'll tell you. The Battle arena is where if you have a beef with someone else's role-play character and they are a part of the guild, and you two want to duke it out, have at it because this is the place to do that.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is the Shadowrun subforum about?
A: Currently this topic is under construction but when its up and running it's going to be one heck of a fun ride of a Role-playing game. The Shadowrun subforum is actually based off a real life role-playing game that had some excellent ideas, set in the Seattle area at first, but expanded, but eventually faded into the back of peoples memories. We would like to revive the fun and joy of Shadowrun. One thing you are going to see is the general storyline and what the universe of Shadowrun contains. I am Mr. Alaric Rose will be heading the Shadowrun project. So keep your eyes peeled for when we open it for all to see.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is the Role-players Informational Index?A: This is where you can post your role-play character stats/profiles and information for all the guild to see. We assume this is going to get messy after a time being, but until we can sort out a better method this is what we have. For right now I don't think there will be too much of a problem with finding peoples character info.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is the Guild Mule?
What?! Didn't you read the announcement about her?! For shame! *laughs* No, I'm kidding really...honestly...*silence* The Guild Mule is an account run by me (Guinevere Nyghtshayde) that was my very first account ever on Gaia. She is who you should donate whatever money you wish to contribute to the guilds potential growth. If you donate directly to the guild funds all we can use that gold for is for additional sub-forums. Donating to the Guild Mule allows us to use that gold for not just sub-forums but guild member quests, contests, and more. So PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT WHICH IS PURE AND HOLY AND UNHOLY! DONATE TO GRACE INSTEAD PLEASE!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can any of us have our own individual subforum?A: Yes; however that is something that will cost the guild money 2,500 gold to be exact and currently right now there is no guild fee. However in general if people requested that we make a subforum especially for them we may ask that they donate the 2,500 gold so that we do not have to drain what little funds we might have.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do I have to be IC (In Character) in this main section of the guild forums?
A: No; you do not have to be in character unless someone creates a topic and it states specifically that you must be in character.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can I invite anyone I want to the guild?A: You can however it is recommended you think about who you are inviting and whether or not they would contribute effectively to our positive role-play community that we are trying to build for everyone here. Please choose wisely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is the Guild Portal / Affiliates / Etc?A: This is the section in which we create something like a "yellow-pages" or a "white-pages" (a phone book if you will) of all the taverns, bars, inns, and misc role-play topics (that are considered creative) of our members go. When you're in a role-play slump because you can't find people you would like to role-play with or a place to just role-play, our hope is that this will aid you in those times of need.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is the Guidelines to Good Role-playing?A: This is just a collaboration (not entirely of my own design or anyone here's) of all the rules of role-play we feel are fairly standard to know and for the most part abide by (least most of us here do). It also contains examples of things in role-play NOT to do. Our hope is to update this section with just a smidge of more info for all to view and use at a whim.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can I ask if my Gaia shop, tavern, guild, etc can be added to the Guild Portal / Affiliates / Etc?
A: Indeed you can. Just send a message to either myself or Alaric. However this section seems to rather be growing on me so just go ahead and send me the message if you so desire.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can I put up an announcement in the "What's going on?! What's New," section of the main forum?A: You certainly can, however before doing so you should ask permission from either myself, Alaric, Shadow, or someone else who is on our crew. However I won't enforce this unless it becomes a problem.
