As with all threads, rules are needed to keep EVERYONE under control.
Hopefully, as always, people actually read the rules
and fully understand them. But if there any questions,
feel free to ask in the thread. And in case you are confused about rules..
Here's a little spheal on them. :]

Rule  /rul/
Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation [rool] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation, noun, verb, ruled, rul‧ing.
–noun
1. a principle or regulation governing conduct, action, procedure, arrangement, etc.: the rules of chess.
2. the code of regulations observed by a religious order or congregation: the Franciscan rule.
3. the customary or normal circumstance, occurrence, manner, practice, quality, etc.: the rule rather than the exception.

But please know to follow these rules.


::Follow Gaia's Terms Of Service.
::Follow these rules.
: razz lease don't quote anything on the first page.
: razz lease do not stretch the page.
: razz lease be as literate as possible. Just so we know what you want to say.
: razz lease be respectful to everyone.
::I can change these at any time. :]

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Remember to have fun. :3
Hey There, if you found this, let me know!
Put, "I love bananas" somewhere in your application. ;D

[Okibi Charity Mule]

The meat and main purpose of out thread is right here, in the charity section.
Our purpose is to help you.
You.

We understand fully what goes on, we have seen almost everything on Gaia, and know what it feels like to quest, and for it to be difficult.
That is why we have brung you our charity, so that there is hope for you to carry on.

But we love manners and politeness more than anything from a quester. Those who understand that concept of common courtesy are those who understand how to be a gaian who deserves.
That is why we only donate to those who have shown kindness of heart, or have been extremely polite.

We have no specific application, and we would love it much more if you used your own creativitey and ablity to make us believe you deserve this donation.

The questions below are good to know. But please, to bring yourself a better chance of a donation, please don't run into the charity and blindy ask for donations. Introduce yourself, get to know the regulars, for they influence donations a lot.
Please, we would prefer casual talking to others than bumping alone when other people are obviously around.


I will give donations to people who are here a lot or have done a lot for the charity.

:: How long have you been on Gaia.
:: What are you questing for
:: How much do you have
:: Do you have a quest thread?
:: How long have you been questing
:: Why do you deserve a donation

Now, throughout the time the charity has been open, creativity is widely respected. :]
Although if you feel a lack of creativity, feel free to fill out the form above.
Here is an extremely creative way we have recieved an application.

[Okibi Charity Mule]

Oh my, what would a charity be without its funds. A charity is not only a source of hope and recovery, it's also our secret stash of goodies for everyone else to have a piece of. And most importantly the funds allow for more contests, and even more fun. :]


Current funds---> 47k
* This is the current gold count on the charity's mule.
Fund status----> <33 !
* The status is very important for it gives a generalized overview of the charity's health.


# Of letters for the month: None, yet.
November is coming up everyone, a new flock of letters are coming!


--- [ A little side note? ] ---
The charity runs on a few things, and sometimes we need a little bit of help.
A donation to the charity is completely your choice and therefore a donation is never required.
And because a donation is special to us, we take a long time to accept the donation.
( Trust us, we are very stubborn people. :3 )

We feel that it is our duty to donate, not yours. :]

Gold Donations:
Thee Fuzzy Ninja Penguin -------------------------- 30k
CrosS ------------------------------------------------ 14k
its swan ----------------------------------------------- 9k
asian_girl_4_ever3cc -------------------------------- 5k

Item Donations:
ODestined0DeathO ------------------- Sealed Envelope
Jenikyula -------------- 7k 2K5 & 5 2K6 Easter Baskets

We would like to give out a huge thanks to everyone who has helped the charity, and an even bigger thanks to those who have donated. <333 : D

[Okibi Charity Mule]

These list, although to many, may not seem important. But please remember that these lists are to be kept seriously.
And because of this, those placed on these lists are either given recognition, or complete intolerance.
These help us keep a record of who has broken rules and have been saints to the charity.


White lists:
*People here have been extremely helpful and have been even more loving than anyone else.
Any member of the staff.
`S k i t t l e s
omgitsDALKI

Thee Fuzzy Ninja Penguin
Renee the Rabid Squirrel
24monkey_lover24


Blacklists:
*These people, on the other hand, have disrepected members of the charity, or have been breaking rules, or maybe a combination of both! >O... And to justify putting people on the blacklist, the reason is stated next to the name.

InuyashaGirl1500 [ Not only did she not read the front page.. she continued to be very annoying and disrespectful ]

Please remember that being on the black list is not the greatest place to be, it shows to the rest of gaia how much of an ignorant, disrespectful, rude person that you can be.
