Hello Pandora's Boxians! Happy thanksgiving to those celebrating it today!
Since now the guild is becoming a lot more RPG based (check out "Elemental Wars" or "The Golden Apple") I think we should write down a few guildlines.
BASIC OVERALL RULES
arrow Keep it PG-13 (there hasn't been a problem yet)
arrow Don't be all powerful (Gods may seem like it but they have there weaknesses)
arrow Don't be afraid to add some humour
arrow Add more then a sentence for a response (unless it is based by humour)
arrow No character bashing, but keep it Greek or something like it. No cyborgs, robots or anything above the technology of chariots.
arrow More to come...
Battles
arrow If someone challenges you to a duel accept it (White Cherry Blossoms know the proper tecnique quite well)
arrow When you attack a person with magic, godly spells or weapons say something like, " Boreas Sends a huge gust of wind hurling towards the gang of muses." You then wait for the other characters to respond giving them the ability to dodge or block, "The muses scream in a melodic pitch jumping out of the way"
arrow You can't always block, dodge or counter another persons attack though, to be fair let them hit you at least 2 times (more is better though).
arrow Gods can't die, it's just impossible they might disappear but they can't die, don't kill a mortal unless they say it's alright to kill them.
arrow You can't bring yourself back from the dead unless someone else helps you.
arrow More to come...
RANKINGS
1. Olympian Gods (Athena, Zeus, Artemis etc.)
2. The fates
3. Gods (Boreas, Hecate, Eros etc.)
4. Demi-Gods (Muses, Nymphs, etc.)
5. Beasts (Harpies etc.) or Magically endowed Mortals ( Oracles, Witches or those gifted by the gods)
6. Priests or Priestesses (The Vestal Virgins etc.)
7. Mortals or Shades (spirits)
However in some cases a Magically endowed Mortal could take on a Demi-God or God with special items found in Greek Mythology (You'll have to look thouse up yourself^^)
I Hope this helps with any RPG questions More suggestions are welcome!

Hmmm...some problems I have:
arrow I don't see why tech has to be nothing but chariots. (We are a Greek mythology guild, but we do have a lot of stuff that isn't Greek myth related.)
arrow The response amount should really be alloted to the maker of the thread. (Sometimes you can't think of something to say.)
arrow My feelings towards battles is that you should allow the person to respond to an attack, but you can't say that they can't come back to life. (What are they supposed to do while they're dead? Not post? Why are we killing people anyways?? wahmbulance )
arrow Saying that Gods can't die, ok, so whoever doesn't want to die will just say they're Gods. sweatdrop
arrow Rankings? Why? Again I feel that kind of stuff should be the maker of the rpg's job to make it.
Noted: In the rules we have stated that there is no God moding, and I do know the reason this has been brought to the attention of the guild, but I feel that we shouldn't have to be too regulatory of these things, minus the no character bashing, Godmoding and other rules that could be broken along the way.

I was thinking that if the RPG is greek Mythology related, that should be the case, but i'll take away that guidline cuz it would be fun to see a "robot" interacting in RPG's.
arrow The response amount should really be alloted to the maker of the thread. (Sometimes you can't think of something to say.)Then why say anything at all? But i'll take the guidline away-_-^^

Not post? Why are we killing people anyways?? wahmbulance ) A person may want to die for a dramatic effect " Mr. Squirrel held his stomach, his eyes looked up towards the sky and then glazed over, with a little twirl of his tail he was on the floor." However the person comes back the next day and says hi guys! That would be strange, so he or she may give a reason (hades brought me back to life for a chicken wing^^)
arrow Saying that Gods can't die, ok, so whoever doesn't want to die will just say they're Gods. sweatdrop No one in an RPG can die unless the want to die. (Wish it was true in real life-_-)
arrow Rankings? Why? Again I feel that kind of stuff should be the maker of the rpg's job to make it. The rankings are just there to show what goes above what if they incorporate a Greek element, they're guidelines and the creatr can make up whatever they want( i know i have a contradictory title "Rules and Regulations-_-" I can change that.) Because i don't think Zeus would ever be beaten up by a nymph (unless he let her for one of his promiscuous reasons-_-)

If you want me to delete the thread i will cuz now i'm thinking it is a good idea-_-.

Don't worry Andy--your rules were pretty good, they just needed a little adjustment. I think Broken was just tryin' to help. ^^
And yes! In @%$#ing caps: NO GOD-MODDING! scream domokun
ooooh, I can think of someone I'd like to scream that at (and then hit them with a cast iron frying pan...) stressed
I think we also need a large, colorful, conspicuously posted definition of just *what* god-modding entails.
and I agree that nobody should "die" for good unless they want to.
write your own story, do it your way, and have fun! 3nodding

Andy_and_Nicky arrow I don't see why tech has to be nothing but chariots. (We are a Greek mythology guild, but we do have a lot of stuff that isn't Greek myth related.) I was thinking that if the RPG is greek Mythology related, that should be the case, but i'll take away that guidline cuz it would be fun to see a "robot" interacting in RPG's.Yeah, I guess I understand that, but I mean if the rpg is back in a certain time, any time frame, the people in the thread should realize that if they put something in that time frame that doesn't belong it'd just be weird, but this should be up to the creator of the thread. If the creator doesn't mind a jet attacking someone during the mideval period then it doesn't make a difference to the thread, but if they do mind they can just delete the post or tell the person who posted it that the statement they said doesn't fit with the time of the thread. 3nodding arrow The response amount should really be alloted to the maker of the thread. (Sometimes you can't think of something to say.) Then why say anything at all? But i'll take the guidline away-_-^^Well, if you can't just say something or show a minor reaction to something then why even be in the thread? Sometimes one person takes dominant charge in the story and all you do is talk one line in reply to their statement. And my dominant I mean they set the background for your story already so when you come in there's not much to be said about the settings. arrow My feelings towards battles is that you should allow the person to respond to an attack, but you can't say that they can't come back to life. (What are they supposed to do while they're dead? Not post? Why are we killing people anyways?? wahmbulance ) A person may want to die for a dramatic effect " Mr. Squirrel held his stomach, his eyes looked up towards the sky and then glazed over, with a little twirl of his tail he was on the floor." However the person comes back the next day and says hi guys! That would be strange, so he or she may give a reason (hades brought me back to life for a chicken wing^^)I still don't see the point in people killing each other in the rpgs...it just isn't cool by my standards. But regardless just the way you worded it it made it seem like if you get killed then you can't post at all in that thread ever again. arrow Saying that Gods can't die, ok, so whoever doesn't want to die will just say they're Gods. sweatdrop No one in an RPG can die unless the want to die. (Wish it was true in real life-_-) Well, how can you say that if they don't want to die if they don't want to and then say that they can't dodge all attacks? What are they going to do if they get hit by a sword in a vital organ? Just regenerate...? neutral What I'm getting at is if there's going to be a fight were people are under a 'blood lust' then someone is going to die, whether they want to or not. (Because we can't have people just getting hit in a vital organ(s) or having a major attack be put on them and they're just dandy. arrow Rankings? Why? Again I feel that kind of stuff should be the maker of the rpg's job to make it. The rankings are just there to show what goes above what if they incorporate a Greek element, they're guidelines and the creatr can make up whatever they want( i know i have a contradictory title "Rules and Regulations-_-" I can change that.) Because i don't think Zeus would ever be beaten up by a nymph (unless he let her for one of his promiscuous reasons-_-)Lol, well I would hope that everyone would know that a God would go above a nymph. Noted: In the rules we have stated that there is no God moding, and I do know the reason this has been brought to the attention of the guild, but I feel that we shouldn't have to be too regulatory of these things, minus the no character bashing, Godmoding and other rules that could be broken along the way. If you want me to delete the thread i will cuz now i'm thinking it is a good idea-_-.It was a good thing to bring up but I just am trying to look at it from a neutral aspect and help tweak some problems. blaugh

Where would the Furies, Alecto, Tisiphone, and Megara fit in this hierarchy? From what I've read, they were the children of Gaia, born before the Olympians and older than them. Much more elemental than the Greek gods, from what I understand.

The furies known also as the Erinyes are probably between normal gods and demi-gods, since they seem to only seek vengeance. And i didn't think they were children of gaia, i thought they were born like aphrodite, from the severd male reproductive organ of ouranos falling into the sea? I could be wrong^^ But i could also see them along with the fates and the olympians, thy'd be ranked either 1-4, but if you ever role played them do what you think is reasonable.
