1. Before you do anything else, introduce yourself in the Guild Member Support Group.

2. Be excellent to each other.

3. Bros before hos.

4. No quote towers. Anything more than three quotes before your own message will be Frowned Upon.

5. No thread necromancy. Reviving old discussions, character bios, and story snippets is fine, but posting in a thread about someone's plot troubles from a year ago is an exercise in futility. Check how long a thread has been out of commission before bringing it back up.

6. Don't let your font size exceed "Normal." It's irritating.

7. Keep character RP to the Abused Character Support Group. Character mules can go to The Character Run, and literate RPs will eventually be in CAA RP Department.

This means no RPing your characters into regular posts. A few snippets here and there might be fine, but we have places for RP and regular threads are not it.

8. No quoting in RP threads, or we'll kick your a**.

9. Respect the format of the Abused Character Support Group. This means script format, actions in *asterisks,* present tense, and out-of-character remarks in white font with single or double parenthesis around them, (( like this )).

10. You get a maximum of four characters in the Abused Character Support Group. If you want to RP different ones, switch them out and inform us in your post.

We're a pretty easy-going group, and if you have any questions, just let us know.

I think I have one. It sort of corresponds with the keeping your characters chained up when they aren't being used.

Quote:
Do not over-rp with your tortured characters! I personally don't mind characters appearing in conversations, but if it's just so they can b***h and moan about how horrible you are to them, tough. They should just get used to the fact that they weren't created by a nice author, like a second grader in a pink dress and patent-leather shoes.

Hm. We should start a thread in here that's a Tortured Character support group. A place reserved for characters to show up and b***h and moan about how bad their lives are!

*continues to dance because she's bored* How about something about word-tunneling? Where people keep quoting each other and never get rid of the really old quotes even if they don't pertain to the topic they're talking about now? Plus, it kind of leaves people out of the conversation and intimidates newcomers.

So don't do it! domokun

I totally agree with all of those rules, and I'll do my part to abide by them to the best of my abilities.

xd Or a dress as one of your character ones? surprised Not that I'm sure that's possible for all of us.

I calculated it all out...for me to dress anything like Vitae, I'd have to try and dress like Vincent Valentine, since nothing like Vitae's clothes exist on Gaia. Dressing like Vincent would cost me 159,650g+. Naked day would be much easier. Everybody has underpants.

Well, dressing like Janus won't cost me too much, but that's just because Gaia doesn't sell a couple of things that she wears ... All in all, it'd equal 11,210 gold; which isn't that bad.
Still, it wouldn't look as like her as much as I would like ... So, I might have to choose a different character.
*wonders how much it costs to dress like Kasume ...* xp

This is as close as I could ever get to looking like Vitae, though his eyes are supposed to be green. And, for some reason, even though he doesn't wear a scarf at all, the outfit doesn't look right without the Nitemare Scarf.

I once made a mule account based on one of my characters. I originally intended it for roleplay, but that never went anywhere sweatdrop
