1. Follow Gaia TOS. This is a no-brainer. Didn't read them? Shame on you. Go read them.

2. No flaming whatsoever. I will ban those who are caught flaming no questions asked. No one needs to be harassed because they can't meet your supposed standards of excellence. We're here to have fun, not put people down.

3. Semi-literate means you have to try to get stuff right. I am willing to help those that need it, but deliberately using chatspeak in posting will get you banned. If you have serious problems with literacy let me or Chocolate Almonds know and we can help you out.

4. I'd rather it not happen but Romance is okay. Keep it PG - 13. Don't take things to PM's because that is just ridiculous. Cybering is stupid and no different than porn. Sexual innuendo is okay, but remember all things in moderation. If someone is making you uncomfortable please let myself or Chocolate Almonds know and we will handle the problem. If we see any hints that we deem inappropriate, we will delete the thread and players responsible for said thread in question on the spot. No questions asked.

5. I am the Captain and I expect you to be able to come to me for help with anything, be it story based or if you are having problems with another member.

6. This is my guild. I paid for it and I want it treated with respect.

7. Ooc chatter will have it's own thread. I dont want it in the rp forums unless it's directly related to the topic at hand.

8. There will be opportunities to become crew.

9. Please respect all members and crew. Crew needs to remember that they are not more important than the members just because they are crew.

10. Attendance issues can be notified in it's respective forum. If you are inactive for a month, you will be banned, unless you have a very good reason and manage to notify me prior to the banning. I expect a good deal of attendance. Once you commit to a guild, you should be prepared to frequent it. If for some reason you get banned on accident I will waive the 50 g entry fee and you may re enter the guild.

More Amendments!

11. No Mary-sues! Don't know what Mary-Sue's are? Well, Mary-Sues are, long-story short, female characters that more often than not are the internet persona's of their female writers, have perfect traits and tortured pasts who grab the attention of any desired male character with no effort whatsoever. For more elaboration, go here. If you think your character might be one of these atrocious things, come take the Mary Sue test. If we suspect any character is too perfect or is a Mary Sue, we will notify the player and ask them to balance their character out. No one is super amazing and perfect with tortured pasts.

12. No god modding or whatever you call it. While this is a given, it must be stated. No one likes to play with infinitely lucky/powerful characters. Godmodding is also taking control of another character WITHOUT the consent of the said character's player. FOR EXAMPLE:

John slapped Joe across the face and laughed as Joe flew back and cried out, "YOW!"

Godmodding is stupid and unfair. DO NOT DO IT.

13. Chocolate Almonds is the Vice President and my very best friend and partner. You are to treat her as such and respect when she asks you to do or not do something.

14. I am not kidding about the romance. If it is agreed between both parties, its fine to hint at it but no outright romantic scenes between the two of you. There is a caste system within the types of performers and they are not to associate with those outside their group. Keep this in mind when you address other characters in a different group. PS Ivan is off limits to everyone as far as Romance goes until Chocolate Almonds says otherwise. Period.

There are also a few young characters, young as in under 18. Too young for any sexual type writing. Just don't do it. And don't try to get your 15 year old girl with 32 year old Ivan. That's disgusting. Don't put Ivan/Chocolate Almonds through that.

15. I will suggest that you change your type of performer if we get too many in one group. Tumblers are filling up fast! But we have no beast tamers, no backstage crew and others. I will delete your character if you do not comply with this.

16. CHARACTERS MUST BE BALANCED. We will not allow characters whose sole purpose is to suffer and be emo and BAWWWW all over the place throughout the entire game and try to drain sympathy from every character out there. Not all pasts are going to be rough. Not every 15 year old girl is going to be abused and molested by adults or treated like absolute crap by those big meanie mean men and women who are lonely and over 40. If we think that this is getting too far, we will talk to people and have them revise their characters. Not everyone is a loner. Not everyone is emo. Not everyone is a Mr./Mrs. Angsty-Pants.

Some additional rules

There will be dice rolling for fight sequences so there is no god mod temptation. There should be no reason to fight but who knows it is a hell circus.

Do not always go and do your own thing: theres a reason we play together and its so we can make a story together.
