Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright, welcome to the "Tales of" Guild, where we talk about nearly everything that is Namco's "Tales of" series.

Here, I'd like some certain rules to be followed. Along with Gaia's ToS, these rules are also to be applied within this guild:

1. NO SPAMMING. I mean it, it's okay if it's within the context of the topic, talking to friends can be nice, right? But no topics such as, "TALES OF SYMPHONIA IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!" or "HI THAR!!", I shall consider these topics spam.

2. NO CYBERING. I find it quite disturbing and annoying, besides, what good could it do you here, anyways? So don't even touch that area.

3. NO "GURU" TOPICS. What does this mean? Similar to that of the VG Forum, don't make a topic CLAIMING you know everything about a game. First off, it's arrogant, and second, each game will eventually have it's own topic. You can, however, make a topic about the game, just not saying, "Ask me questions, and I'll Answer." That shouldn't be too hard now, should it?

4. NO "SHRINE" TOPICS. Like the character? Go to the topic he/she is from, but don't go around with the "OMG, s/he is teh best" crap. Similar to Rule 1, I've put this in to help clarrify that. (We've had no problems so far, so I guess we're doing good) HOWEVER, the Chatterbox is for mindless chatter, like praising a game character, so you can do it THERE. Just no Character shrines in the main area, thank you.

Rules can and will be updated at anytime if I see fit.

A last note to Symphonia fanatics: Welcome to the games that are and aren't Symphonia. Use this guild to learn more about the series, not to boast about how much you love Symphonia, okay? Thank you.

Thanks for reading this, now here's the clincher: You actually read the rules for a reason. By reading this, you have told me that you are ready to be a part of this Guild, so I give you a special phrase:

"Barbatos casts Execution."

Use that if you are wanting to become a member of the guild, it tells me that you've read the rules.

To become a member you can either say, "Barbatos casts Execution" (Showing me you've read the rules), or tell me about games you've played that AREN'T Symphonia.

Edit By Arieta: If I do not see the phrase "Barbatos casts Execution" on your request to join, you will automatically be declined, no questions asked, No exceptions. Also, YOU NEED TO PUT THIS PHRASE IN ORDER TO BE ACCEPTED! Just because you have played a certain Tales of Game, that doesn't mean you will automatically be accepted. CODE MUST BE IN YOUR REQUEST TO JOIN.

RULES UPDATED:

January 12th, 2006

Added: Rule #4

RULES UPDATED: MARCH 27th, 2006

Repealed: The Repeal of the "clincher"

It actually works out a lot better now. I've gotten quite a few, "lET me join, plz cuz I played TOs an iz grt!" submissions... Not cool. So the "Barbatos Casts Execution" thing stays.

...or maybe I'll make a poll and make a new clincher thing.

Added small note to bottom of rules. Tired of people doing request liek "OMG I LOVE THE GAME LET ME IN PLZ" or "TALES OF FAN RIGHT HERE! PLZ PLZ"

No, no more exceptions. Read the rules or get out.

Don't mean to be rude but c'mon...seriously...not that hard to read the rules.
