(REOPENING)

User Image


Hello there! We're a roleplaying guild dedicated to original plots and characters, training, and the general joy of writing.

We offer a Literate RP experience for those with the skills already built up and a training forum for those who want to learn/ improve their skills. (As fair warning, we cannot yet fully extend this service seeing as we're starting all over and getting members).

RULES AND EXPECTATIONS

1.) ATTENDANCE: Seeing as roleplay is reliant on more than one persons, we need people that are around! If you don't think you can be around AT LEAST every three days or so, please don't join. It can be incredibly frustrating to a writer to have to wait for weeks at a time for a reply they may never get. (TL;DR: Be arooooound! It's annoying when you don't show up! )

2.) NOTICE: If you have to leave or be absent, please let me or a guild Vice Captain know. It's just a matter of being polite so that we can prepare to work around you or wait in an rp. Thank you. (TL;DR: Let us know before you bugger off! kthnxbai!)

3.) MANNERS: It's very simple. Be respectful. No one wants to be treated poorly. This also means there won't be tolerance for any racial/ sexual/ ethnic slurs or comments. Treat others as you want to be treated, right? (TL;DR: Don't be a douchenozzle. SRSLY.)

4.) ACTIVITY: Active members are not only appreciated, but rewarded. This DOES NOT mean that I want you to be underfoot trying to do everything. This means that I, and the Vice Captains, would like you to post at least once every three days and help out when you can. (TL;DR: Post AT LEAST every three days for rewards and great success!)

5.) ORIGINALITY: Fandoms are done here, yes, but it's pretty much requested that you play your own characters. Canon characters (other people's intellectual property) are not to be played and ONLY referenced when needed. It keeps with the idea of this guild and reduces the likelihood of dumb issues with intellectual infringement and a failure to be true to the character. (TL;DR: Make yer own darn characters, brah. lol. )

6.) ACCOUNTABILITY: If you take a big role in an rp or create a thread, you NEED to be accountable for the responsibility you accepted. Failure to do so could result in demotions seeing as the lack of foresight could severely cripple a thread and hold up other writers. It's all about harmony to keep an rp rolling! (TL;DR: Don't bite off more than you can chew!)

7.) ACTION: Be the change that you wish to see. If you don't like the direction something is going, do something about it! Be proactive and be heard; don't just fall into obscurity because you're scared people might not like your opinion. The worst that could happen is you're denied- the best? You could have the changes you really wanted. (TL;DR: If you don't put up, shut up don't complain. 8S )

8.) LIMITATIONS: This is pretty much attached to number 6. Understand what you can and cannot do and don't attempt to force yourself further if you really can't. ex.) Don't join a literate thread with a minimum of 6 paragraphs if you can barely manage one. (TL;DR: Repeating myself- DON'T BITE OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW!!)

9.) HELP: Don't be afraid to ask for help! If you're stuck or writer's blocked, ask myself or the Vice Captains for ideas! We're here to help you guys!

10.) RANKS: You cannot demand a promotion. I deem you worthy of a rank on the basis of your behavior. If you follow the rules and exceed expectations, you'll FLY up the rungs! (TL;DR: Be good. Get promoted. Great success.)

11.) FOLLOW TOS: DUH.

12.) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: This is a VERY SERIOUS rule! There will be NO TOLERANCE for the theft of intellectual property, be that artwork, writing, or ideas. I ask that if you post a thread or an original idea that you place a message of copyright on it and respect those who place them enough to not steal from them. Violation of this rule is a 'one strike, you're out' deal. You will be kicked from the guild, stripped of your association, AND reported to Gaia GMs for theft of intellectual property. This rule has place in LAW, so do NOT take it lightly. (Tl;DR: If you take someone else's stuff, you're in SERIOUS s**t.)

13.) APPROPRIATE ACTION: I shouldn't have to go into this, but I will so we're clear, and so no one can complain they didn't know. Sensitive topics are not up for discussion or action here. Anything that violates the rights of others or violates laws is OFF LIMITS. This includes and is not exclusive to: Sexual crimes, racism, religious extremism, etc. If you're unsure about what counts as off limits, please ask me in a private message and I'll clarify. Thank you. (TL;DR: Just read the damn rule, person.)

NOTICE: This guild is friendly with everyone. Furries, Bronies, all creeds, all sexualities, all beliefs, and whatever have you. So long as kindness is shown, you're gonna fit in nicely. The same applies to anyone in this guild already.

(CHECK THE RULES OFTEN! THEY MAY CHANGE!! ANNND- CHECK THREAD RULES! They may have additional rules that aren't listed here.)
