Welcome to our Roleplay Refuge. Please take time to read this thread before posting. Sure, The Refuge is a free, um, refuge, but there are some rules that you need to follow.


A message from our captain:
Magni Prime
I am noting that several people are not reading the rules. Consider this a friendly reminder:
Read the rules or get warned.
Ignore the warning and get banned.
It is that simple people...

Captain
Magni Prime - Master of Wisdom. The Big Kahuna. The Dirty Old Man. Call him what you will, but he leads this guild with an iron* fist. If you ever have any issues or concerns, feel free to contact him.

Vice Captain
Electric Kool-Aid - aka EKA, the Guild Welcome Dancer Supreme. Count on her to be the 'thread guarder', making sure all threads abide by the rules in this thread. Feel free to contact her if you have any questions, especially regarding thread creation.

General Rules
[x] Keep everything PG 13, and I mean everything. No cybering, nope, none of that stuff.
[x] Always follow the Gaia TOS.
[x] Respect everyone, especially The Crew and Captains. ^__^ No flaming, definitely no flaming.
[x] Don't beg unless you play a beggar in some rp. XD Then that's a different story.
[x] Keep violence to a minimum. Only for roleplays. ^__^
[x] No spamming outside of the OOC nonsense section please! Bumping is allowed, but don't overdo it!
[x] Follow your own senses. Don't do anything stupid.
[x] Inactivity can get you removed from the guild. We want to keep this guild full of active members. At random times we will have a purge. Active members will need to sign into the appropriate thread made for that purpose. If you do not sign into that thread, you run the risk of being banned (especially if your post count it low).
[x] See the next post (yes, the entire next post; you'll have to scroll down after you read this post) for additional rules for making roleplay threads.


Thread Related Rules
[x] Respect your threadmasters! If you aren't going to roleplay after applying, please notify your threadmasters so they may prepare in consequence...
[x] Abandoned threads will be deleted. If no posts are made on a thread for two weeks minimum, then the thread will be deleted (or archived- see post below). It sucks to delete them, but we like to keep the main forum clean.
[x] Please limit the number of active RP threads you make to 4, so you can focus your attention to them and not let them all die.

We want The Roleplay Refuge to be a nice, safe environment for everybody.

Got Questions??! Our goal at the RPR is to make this place the best environnement to roleplay, away from all problems and annoyances in life(nOObs as an eg.). If ever you have questions on what to do, whether it be in the guild or Gaia itself, do not hesistate to PM the Captain or any member of the Crew.

When you make a Roleplay, it can either be a non-sign up one, or a sign up one. Some serious roleplayers like everyone to apply to be in the roleplay but only in a period of time; after that time, no one can join. In other words, the RP is full. But some non-serious roleplayers like a light and easy, without applying to be the roleplay. And some allow applications all of the time.

To tell these types apart at a glance, all RP threads are marked with one of these symbols. When making a thread, please put one of these in the thread title:

[A] For Apply (Meaning, applications are required for this RP)
[NA] For Non-Apply (Meaning, an application is not required for this RP. This does not mean the RP is [F], or full.)
[F] Full (Meaning, no more characters should apply or join)
[V] Owner or Important Character of Thread is Away
[UC] Under Construction - Use this if you are not quite ready to open, but wanted to get part of it down for others to see.
or [Archive] Indicates this thread should be archived and not deleted. Only used when the RP is dead.
[O] or [Official] Official - Only the Crew can create these threads!

If you're thread is an apply thread that will end applications, be sure to include the time limit to apply in the first post!

If you're not sure how to use these tags, browse the main forum and you'll see many examples.

Keep in mind that if there isn't a tag in your thread's title, a Crew Member or veteran of The Refuge will post in your thread telling you to read the rules.

Once your thread is created, you may consider entering it in the RPR directory, which is also stickied in the main forum.

Sub-forums

This guild has several sub-forums. They aren't used as frequently as the main forum, but all allow you to do other things than RP.

Currently, the active forums we have are:

[x] Reviews: A good place to put RP ideas while you work on them for critique. Other types of materials that can be reviewed are also welcome.
[x] Archives: Where old RPs and other retired threads live out the rest of their lives; if you ask for your thread to be archived (either via the title or other communications), it will go here.
[x] OOC/Spam: Guess what this has.
[x] Author's Corner: For our literary bunch, feel free to post your works here for review and praise.
[x] Artist's Corner: Like the Author's corner, only with art instead!
[x] Questing: You can place a quest thread in here, in case someone from the refuge comes by and donates.
[x] Commerce: Buy, sell, and trade, all right in the guild.
