THE RULES!
Oh yeah, like everywhere, we have to put rules. We know that most of them are obviously obvious but what can I say? Some people need to see them or they'll think there don't have to follow any!
So here they are!
So here they are!
xoxoxox1. Follow the Gaia ToS, and most definitely follow the Daisy Code.
xoxoxox2. Literacy is expected. Use proper grammar, punctuation, quotes. No *...* for actions. There is a GOOD four line minimum in every post (that's around 150 words). Nothing like,
Underachiever
She sat down.
Now, those just don't count, folks. And remember, four lines is the MINIMUM. We expect more, and if you continually post the bare minimum, we may refer you to the Roleplay Academy.
xoxoxox3. We value quality over quantity when it comes to characters and roleplaying in general. Make your characters realistic. No fantasy type characters. Human only. Try to aim for xoxoxoxcharacters you could imagine seeing in real life, so don't make them flat, either. Also, please don't go overboard in character pasts. Drama does not make your character xoxoxoxinteresting. Nothing like,
She-Who Must-Not-Be-Named
after being forced into sex by jimmy as frank held her down they made kina watch and brittany watch after wards they tortured and burned brittany's eye's till she was blind and malia became a house mother working on college courses online part time since she couldnt finish high school due to rumor's but over all she is a loving cheerful girl she also wishes to write childrens stories and help victims of abuse and such also
xoxoxox4. Romance is encouraged, but no cybering. Gaia is intended for people 13 years old and older, so you should ideally stay in the PG-13 range.
xoxoxox5. Violence. Fighting is okay, as long as it's reasonable. But no killing, unless you've received explicit permission.
xoxoxox6. Maximum quoting is 3. Any more and it gets annoying. You should only use it when necessary.
xoxoxox7. No racism, sexism or discrimination of any kind in OOC. Please try to be as civil to your fellow guild-mates as possible.
xoxoxox8. This usually isn't a problem, but it sometimes comes up. No godmodding. If you do take control of someone else's character, we will have a major problem.
xoxoxox9. BE ACTIVE. This cannot be stressed enough. If we think you are too inactive, you will be warned. Failure to heed the warning will result in banning. However, if you have a good xoxoxoxreason for your inactivity, post in the absence thread or speak to a crew member.
xoxoxox9.5. Highlight this post for the secret.
If you're joining, sweetums, be sure to put 'I pledge myself to [insert either Zem or Serend here] into your request or else we'll just ignore you. ;D
xoxoxox10. Report any abuse, rule breaking, or any sort or behavior that troubles you to a member of the crew. They're here to help you. Comments, questions, suggestions, etc.. xoxoxoxshould be made in the designated thread, but complaints about other members (including crew) can be sent to crew members to be addressed personally.
xoxoxox11. And, of course, have fun!
