Welcome to Gaia! ::

We don't want to be really strict, but to keep this a fairly happy place we do need a few rules.

Good things
Anyone can make an rp - Absolutely anyone who wants to can make an rp, there are no restrictions at all. The same goes for posting in an rp. You can set up a "private" rp, which is only for a few people, but it's also nice to have rps that everyone can post in.
You can have as many rp characters as you want - It's up to you how many different rp characters you want, but it's usually easier to have just one or two.
RPs can be about anything you want - You can have any subject for your rp, from a house party to battles.



Rules
Follow the ToS - As I said, we don't want to be really strict, but this is a pretty basic rule, and if you don't follow the ToS in the guild, then we could get in trouble as well as you. So please try to stay out of trouble.
Be nice to the other members - try not to get into any major arguments over the rps. And please don't go into someone's thread and complain about the storyline. If you don't like it, make your own. But suggestions are allowed provided you are nice about it. And try to be patient with those who are new to Rping, or aren't too good at it. Give them tips rather than yelling at them.
No unnecessary spam - If people keep bumping in the middle of an rp, it will really mess things up. You can bump if an rp is new, and drops off of the page, but otherwise, don't. If the rp has already started and there is not much activity, just post in it, or reply out of character if you have to.
Try to keep out of character chat separate - It will really confuse things if people can't tell the difference between your OOC chat and your RP chat, so try to keep it separate somehow, like by putting it in brackets, different colour, etc.
No God-Modding!! - for those of you who don't know, god-modding is where your character is super powerful, can avoid any attack, has all sorts of powers that similar characters don't etc. This will really annoy other RPers, so please don't do it.
Try not to stretch the page - Please try to link really big pictures, and shorten links if possible. Page-stretching is really annoying, so if you can avoid it in any way, please do!
Try to be literate - Spelling, bad grammar etc can't always be helped, so that's ok, but please don't use text speak. It will most likely annoy the other RPers.

If anyone thinks there are any I have missed out, please let me know.

There aren't that many rules, and they are all necessary. Please follow them as much as possible, remember to follow any extra rules the creator of the RP has provided, and have fun!

rules to rp? aha. that should be entirely up to the dm.

Follow the ToS - well said.

Be nice to other members- you get jumped if you arent.

No unnecessary spam - dosent make sence. spam such as bump.. bump bump bump.. excessively makes sence cause that belongs in the bump till u blu.. but other than that.. unneccesary and neccesary dosent make sence. it dosent matter.

Try to keep out of character chat separate - saying that it will confuse people... i dont think anyone cares when theres only 6 active people. the 6 people can tell apart speech and rp actions.

No God-Modding!! - no such thing. unless your the dm cause thats when your the mod... and everything has a weakness.leaving everyone with equal chances. super berserker that can pummel you with a 5739573kg axe can get a tainto to the back of the head and die.. a arch mage with infinite magic.. tainto to the back of the head and die.. zombee... well.. rip it totoally apart.. it will be alive but cant do crap.. saying no godmodding is like telling cloud not to use his 65u956356894 swords.dosent make sence. rps are about doing stuff you cant normally do and making an entire story of its own.

try not to strech the page- well.. makes some sence.. but not really. why would we need pictures other than for characters.

Try to be literate - we all know what we mean. when you are bad at spelling and people get pissed at you over it? just like calling someone whos depressed all the time a f*****t... being literate is a skill that is obtained. not everyone can always do it.

i apologyse for this but im used to dming/modding/creating games/ leading/ and so on. rules for rping should belong to the dm. not the guild.
