So, I'm just going to set some basics, if it comes down to the fact that people are causing problems and I have to add to the list I'll put "UPDATED" for the subject for about a week or two. So, just keep an eye out and don't try to make me turn to corporal punishment...you wont like me if I have to break out the guns...

So then. mrgreen Basics:

~Be literate!!
~~This is probably the most important aspect of the guild. Not everyone is a perfect speller but please take steps to be literate. The same thing goes the other direction. If someone has a typo, or was in a hurry and types something like ‘BRB’ then just politely(stress) remind them that we try to maintain literacy here but don’t get mad. There’s a lot more important things in life than getting mad over a little illiteracy by some person you met in a thread.

~No God-moding
~~You can pick any being/creature or whatever you want, but just because you pick a certain creature doesn't mean that you're invincible, everyone loses at some point or another. So, for example, if you choose to be Zeus, ruler of the Greek Gods, who is obviously invincible, you're not in this rp guild.

~Follow basic Gaia ToS rules
~~If you don’t I'll have to be notified and it'll have to be reported.

~Keep everything to a limit, vulgar-wise, swearing, sexual content.
~~I don't condone swearing, but if its part of your character's personality to do so then ok, just don't over do it. However, if it offends someone and they politely ask you not to do so, abide by their request. As for vulgar language, (which can be associated with swearing) I don't condone at all. (none of this revealing boobs and all that suggestiveness) Sexual content, no; if it comes to that, use the pms. It's just not acceptable for you to put that kind of stuff on a site like this, especially since in the whole scheme of things, you probably don't even know the person...and yadda yadda...I just don't agree with it.

~If there's a story plot, which there will be, don't think that you can just pop in and change everything.
~~You are allowed to come into the plot, by all means go right to it, but if I say that...I don't know...the world is saved by pulling the green wire, don't think that you can put "The bomb suddenly goes off" and expect it to go over well.

~No one dies in here, so just forget about it.
~~There will be battles, of course, that's a given, well you may not know it yet, but you'll see later. So, just get over it, no one dies. It's a realm thing, just go with that. Now, don't get me wrong, you can be on the verge of death or whatever if you want, but there's no point in dying, there'll be no coming back for ye.

~Follow the rules that other people post in their threads.
~~If someone says they don't want swearing, then don't. They have the right to ban you from the thread, unless you apologize or whatever.

~I don't accept here say.
~~Unless you have enough proof to say that this person was annoying you by mocking you or whatever I don't care. No offense, but I can't take care of everything. If someone said they were annoyed by someone and it was just that their opinion was being debated and they were offended I can't do anything about it. They'd just be mad and have to get over it.

~Brings up another thing: Everyone is entitled to say what they will, opinion wise and creature wise.
~~If someone says that Hydra is a furry little cookie monster like creature who feeds on nightmares, then that's their Hydra. (If you don't get the ex. use google and look up Hydra.)

~You can't use loop holes in the rules and you have to follow the other rules that are going to be set up for leveling up and fighting.
~~If you get a die level that you find is interchangeable with another go by what I have. Ex: (if you're at a die level that says to use 3 4-sided die(12) but you see that you can just use 2 6-sided die, don't you dare). If you do then everyone will be using different die and I wont be able to tell who's cheating and who's not. Even if you're not cheating, it'll be considered cheating and you'll be punished, depending on whether it's your first, second or whatever offense. So, just be wary.

~Be decent to people and be moral.
~~Some people might not be bright, but you don't mock them for it. Be patient and help them to understand.

~No one can give out Gems except Mods.
~~We do have a currency system, but as it stands right now you may not make a thread and hand out your own, nor make up a game and hand them out at random and you have none and for right now you may not trade your Gems with any other member in the guild. You may only trade with our guild mods. In general when it comes to the Gems and currency system just follow the rules Dark has set up.

~When you turn in your pictures I will not resize them for you.
~~You must make your pictures the appropriated size. I will not do it for you. Let alone I don’t have time to do it, but its not something I should have to do. So make your RP picture the correct size. Please and thank you.

So, I think that's good for now. If I add some they'll be in a different color than the originals. So, you'll always know what's new and what's not.

User ImageA warning: User Image

It seems to me that this guild has picked up people who don't really want to be in the guild at all, just joined for the heck of it, posted once, or possibly not at all and then forgot about it. For those of you who are active, this doesn't concern you, well unless you become inactive later on. But the warning: If you are inactive for a month I will ban you from the guild. If you have an excuse then please tell me before hand so I can note it. It is now the beginning of April, the perfect time mark to begin the countdown. You may re-request to join though and we'll gladly let you back in. We also have people in the guild who aren't in the 'dice-game' part of the guild, they just post. That's perfectly fine. Hang out if you just wish to do that, although I would/do encourage you to look over the stuff, it's going to be fun once I start the story plots and such and I'm afraid the only way for one to participate in those is to be part of the 'dice-part of the guild.

Another issue: If you have a question, you'd best have read over the stuff. I know there's a lot, but people are asking me questions that are clearly and shortly covered in the threads. So if you ask me something and you haven't read, don't be surprised if I'm blunt and come off as agitated/'mean'.

So, in conclusion: A)If you're inactive for a month, you're being banned; however, you can rejoin if you wish to do so. B)Remember that to be involved in the future story plots you must be part of the 'dice-game'. C) Have a question, read over the stuff. Perhaps try breaking it into sections and reading so much a night.

Thanks.
