Rules
1. All Gaia rules apply here. Sorry! Can't change that!
2. This is a place for literate and serious roleplay. That means no * * for actions and use quotation marks ((" ")) for speech and use proper grammer and punctuation, no net-speak, chat-talk or the like in the roleplay threads! It keeps things neater and easier to keep up with.
a. Please try to keep some semblance of turn-based RP. This does not mean that you have to wait for others to post that you aren't even interacting with at the moment, but it does mean that when you are interacting with someone, you need to wait for their response. To do so comes too close to God-moding at times.
3. Keep all romance at a PG-13 level. I'm a sucker for romance, and it does keep things interesting... but there's a line between interesting and scaring the children o.o Anything serious belongs in PMs or other means of private conversation. Not here!
4. No flaming! I won't tolerate it! Doing so is grounds for immediate banning, no questions asked, no second chances. This RP is shounen/shoujo-ai friendly, not to mention at least tolerant of all faiths, races, classes, beliefs, genders, cultures, etc. Got it? Okay, moving on!
5. PM profiles to those in charge of the RP. In any of the RPs, I would prefer if the profiles were PMed to whoever is in charge. It keeps things cleaner in the RP. So as a note to my crew and members, make sure you make note of this!
6. All ideas for creating a new RP thread must be passed by me - the Captain - before you start the thread. I promise that I'm usually nice about that sort of thing though! Just PM me about it before you go through the trouble of putting it up... because if I didn't approve it, I'll tear it down and all your work will be lost o.o Thank you! ^-^
7. Cussing is allowed, but keep it within reason. I have a personal list of words that I will not tolerate and will ban anyone for using. As before no second chances... your characters should not even utter these.
a. The infamous 'f-word' in any of its forms.
b. The 'n-word'... you know the one, it rhymes with that bouncy character from Winnie the Pooh.
c. The 'c-word' that rhymes with punt.
d. Any and all crude words for gays.
This list will possibly grow in the future... make sure to check back every so often to make sure you don't get yourself into a situation you can't get out of... though I highly doubt and trust that anyone that becomes a part of this guild would say any of these words!
8. Respect the Captain, Crew, and Members of this Guild. I shouldn't have to spell this out for you.
9. Don't continuously quote! I will delete any posts that have more than two quote boxes in them!
10. If you notice a rule being broken, follow these directions!
a) Quote the offending post as soon as you notice, no being all nice and telling them first. It's my job to decide whether second chances should be given!
b) PM one of the crew or me with the quoted post, explaining in which thread you found it.
c) Whoever you send it to will either look into it or forward the post to me.
d) If it is found to really be a rule broken, crew members are to alert me and the member who broke the rule.
e) If it was a no second chances rule, you know the consequences. I will keep track of the broken rules as well.
11. Try to portray your character as accurately as possible. There will be/is RPs set up to allow for a bit of craziness in the RPing of your character to allow you to play them how you see fit, but in the RPs that are meant to be as accurate as possible, please do so. Please and thank you! ^.^
12. The OOC Chatter thread is not to be abused. Please do not talk about things that are in no feasible way related to the guild!
13. Edit posts sparingly. The only real reasons to edit your posts are spelling and grammar errors, and if there was a big enough mistake in your post that it requires it. You can NOT edit your post just because you suddenly decide you meant to post something different or you don't like the response that was given. If you want a certain series of events to happen with another character, contact them and talk it over.
14. Refrain from using different post styles in RP. I know it's tempting and they're pretty, but please keep from using them within RPs. Feel free to use them elsewhere, just not in the RPs.
When it comes to the rules, you only get two warnings before you're banned - with the exception of course of rules 4 and 7.
Please simply put *Bishoujo* in a post here to ensure that you've read the rules. I'll count it like signing your name on a contract - yes, even though it will change. Signing means that you also promise to check up on these rules every so often to see if they've changed.
If you join and I do not see your 'signature' here, and you start posting... you'll be getting a PM from me!
