(.The General Roleplay Rules.)
(.The GRR.)
(.1.) I am the queen of the roleplaying threads, whatever I say, goes. As well as listening to me, you will listen to all moderators, and anyone else I say you must listen to. Any one who deliberately disobeys me or a moderator faces light to severe consequences.
(.2.) Literacy is a must in roleplaying; you must be at least semi-lit. One liners are acceptable once or twice every three pages. All other posts should be of at least three sentences, more if preferred. You may not use ** for actions, you must use "" for dialogue, and italics for thought.
(.3.) To keep a solo journal, you must catalog each entry in the designated thread. Any entries not formatted or located in the wrong forum will be ignored and no credit will be given for it until it is cataloged correctly.
(.4.) Roleplay is not required. But participating in roleplays will gain you not only brownie points but exclusive-to-roleplayers content.
(.5.) These birds are capable of speech and higher thinking once they're all grown up. But yours don't have to be, if you prefer it that way.
(.6.) When roleplaying lovey-doveyness, keep it PG-13.
(.7.) Anyone in Gaia can appear in roleplays, because our continent is only separated from Gaia by an ocean. So you avatar can appear, and your OCs can appear, and whomever else you can think of. But the shop is birds first, so make sure to keep your pets involved.
(.8.) IC does NOT equal OOC. So if you're mad at someone, leave it out of the roleplay. And if someone's fighting against you in the roleplay, don't assume they're out to get you. Their character might be.
(.9.) If you have something roleplay related to discuss, do not do it in the roleplay forums. You may discuss it in the OOC forum, or through private messages.
(.10.) If you wish to start your own roleplay, you must recieve permission from me first. I will then run it by Adopt, and if she approves of it, then I WILL BE THE ONE MAKING IT! You will provide me with the setting, possibly a mini-plot, and anything else I need to know. Anyone who posts a roleplay without my consent will be subject to a 5-day temporary ban, repeated offenses will earn you a perma-ban.
(.11.) If you wish to roleplay, you MUST register your bird in the correct forum. Follow the instructions and I will approve you and add you to the list. You must also be registered to do solo journals.
(.12.) For violation for roleplay rules, you will submit the form below to me through P.M. You must provide me with as much detail as possible, so that the problems will be quickly revised.
Do NOT PM me with violations of any non-roleplay related issue.

Note:: any bans I give out are for roleplaying only. You may still buy birds, and participate in non-roleplay related shop events. You may resume roleplaying once your temporary ban has been lifted, but if your permanently banned, then you may not roleplay.
