Ria Guild Rules
*****
ANNOUNCEMENT:
Kurai: Recently Sakura has been quite strict on what she wishes to see in RPs. We will not force you to RP the way we wish to but however we do wish that you follow our guidelines in order to make this Rping enviroment much more enjoyable ((and much more easier for us and others to follow along x.x )) Unfourtantly we will have to delete any post that we see that isnt up to our standards. ((but usually only Sakura has the guts to delete them ^^;; )) So i present to you a list of Sakura's Pet Peeves. Do any of these following then you can probably figure out why your post got deleted. But of course thats after a PM warning or of some form of it.
SaKuRaBaBy's Pet Peeves:
People...do NOT use *'s for thoughts. Put QUOTES around speech. I'm deleting anything that useless.
*twitch* Okies. NOT that hard to use caps... How old are we all? Old enough to know that you capitalize the first letter in EVERY SENTENCE!!!! It's just pressing ONE EXTRA BUTTON!!!!! So. Please use proper grammer.
Use caps. We learned this in elementary school! ALL BEGINNING LETTERS OF ANY SENTENCE START WITH A CAPITAL LETTER! I'm going to delete any posts that doesn't follow that BASIC rule.
OOC posts in rps. It is okies if you add an ooc statement to the top or bottom of your post, but to just make an entire post just of ooc in an rp is unacceptable. You can PM them! I'll delete them.
One liners.

Rayan: You joined the Ria Guild, right? Spiffy, ain’t it? biggrin Well, as a member of this guild, there are some rules that you must follow. And here they are:
(KuraiGekkou edit) RP skills are a Must-have! This means we don't want stuff that are like this:
*smacks Rayan over the head with Beer bottle* (Stupid action RP style)
or like this:
Kurai said Hey i don't use punctuation im a dumbass! walks away. (failure to comply with basic english rules.. -.- )
or THIS:
Kurai eats fried chicken (one liner)
If there is ANY posts such as this found in the RP Threads will be DELETED.
(KuraiGekkou edit END)
No Powerplaying/God-moding. This means that you cannot make your character overly powerful (ex. bam I punched you hard in the face and you crumple to the floor, dead). You cannot say you hit someone in a battle; instead, you say you either aimed for them or completed an attack. The other person gets to decide if he gets hit or not. Ex.:
{Rayan} Rayan thrust his sword directly at his opponent, Ky.
{Ky} Rayan's blade cut at Ky's arm, but it was a minor wound, and he continued to battle.
You also can't keep on dodging or blocking everything someone throws at you. The idea is to be fair- being “cheap” is lame and distasteful. If you fight unfairly, it makes things no fun. However, you can do pretty much whatever you want to NPCs (Non-Player Characters), just don’t make it stupid by being unrealistically powerful, even if they are only NPCs. It would get quite annoying…
You cannot kill another person's character without their consent. This is considered to be power playing, which is forbidden. You can kill any 'secondary' characters as you like, though. (secondary being characters that you have introduced but aren't somebody's character…same thing as NPCs basically)
Swearing should be kept to a minimum.
. Now, it is understandable in a role-play setting. If your character is getting his or her butt whooped in a battle, or someone is about to die, they’ll probably going to mouth off a word or two (or a couple of paragraphs, depending on who the person is whee ; )…in fact, it might be unrealistic if they didn’t. However, in general, swearing should be rare as opposed to commonplace. Not only is it generally unwholesome, but it gets INSANELY ANNOYING when people go around and cuss at each other and at everything all the time. I’ve experienced this before, and regardless of whether you tolerate this sort of language or not, it really does get annoying for many people. The Ria Guild team (a.k.a. “The Kurai Crew” ) can decide how to respond to this issue as they please: They can kick you out of this guild if it’s serious enough. Your character must be the same gender as you are in real life. Otherwise, things...could get kinda freaky...+.+;; ((Kurai: i may have to change this -.-;; ))
Of course there’s romance! What else is life good for? xd However, as already said, No cybering, meaning, don’t go off 'the deep end' and get overly sexual. It's disgusting, and I don't want anyone pouring out his or her lusts on the threads in this guild. Save it for the birds, man! >_<
In order to participate in the role-play of this guild, you must make a character profile. You don’t have to do this right away, but you still have to do it.
Do not advertise any other site/guild unless you get permission from an administrator.
Finally, you must obey all of the rules put up by the main Gaia site (The ones that you had to agree to obey when you first registered). Not doing so could get you deleted or banned.
It is assumed that all persons participating in this guild have agreed to these rules, as well as the ones set in place by Gaia, and we hold the responsibility and task of upholding these rules. If you break any of them, you shall be dealt with under the proposed manner:
One: warning by PM (or Board posting). May be restricted from certain areas until the administrators decide otherwise.
Two: Warning by PM (or Board posting), as well as restrictions from any area the administrators agree upon.
Three: You are banished to the realm of shadow... Once you screw up thrice, you are OUTTA HERE!
Varying on the circumstances, administrators may decide to skip steps 1 and/or two altogether, meaning if the offense is serious enough, you could get banished immediately. This is so everyone can enjoy this site with as little strife as possible.
I hope that you will all follow these rules, and enjoy your time doing some awesome high-school role-playing in the Ria Guild!

(P.S. Thanks Kurai for letting me write up the rules as you orginally said I could. Rock on, bro!)
The Art of Rping
Kurai: No promblem Rayan good job setting everyone straight and implementing a nice warning system. im hoping you would all follow these rules to ensure fun and non-well aggressive activities between peeps and such.
Now here is some info on RPing and such. These rules are optional to follow and will not reasult you into getting a warning (you may recieve some complaints from people though) in the guild but however these are Highly reccommended
Read the 1st Page of every Sticky RP. They will have a nice description and most likely very important info of the place and that will ensure a more fun Rping enviroment.
NO one liners! Positively NO ONE LINERS
l337. Save it for other places. Unless your keyboard is broken. i see no reason for you typing in l337
I quote from Piffs guide to Literate Rping.
Piff
Bad Roleplay
*walks in and chops ur head of* Ha ha you?re dead
Good Roleplay
[insert name here] walked towards the person cloaked in black. [insert name here] was a fighter on a mission. He was not to be toyed with. There was a dagger in his pocket; as he walked towards his victim, he fingered the dagger anxiously. Making sure no one was around, he took out his dagger and attacked the man mercilessly. The man fell to the ground ? his life gone.

Now about the Uwasa event. Uwasa was not happy to see that some Rpiers were Rping in More then place then another PLace. Aili Supported this as being an Unrealistic Rp and could mess up the time line. So in order to solve this and keep the SLow Rps in light of what was going on i decided to adding this rule ((read Suggestion thread for more info))
KuraiGekkou
BUT aileeeeennnnn.... What about them slow rpiers...
ok ok but how bout we set it somehting like this then....
This will depend on the type of RP you gots. somthing like the extra shows you see and stuff.
*********
Say in one thread Kurai will be in a thread that involves the power he has gained and such and friends and such. Like ... Fighting Ky.
then in the other thread
************
Kurai is in the hot springs flirting with chicks.
***********88
the difference will be that one thread is a "serious RP" and the other is a "playful" sorta RP meaning it probably wont matter whats going on and such but you can be there just for the fun of it.
see where i am getting at? so this way you will be given 2 characters to RP with. One will be for storys one will be so you can just kick back and screw around with XP

Any posts that are one liner... Using stupid RP style or failed to use punctuation will be DELETED or EDITED for the betterment of this RP community (more info in Rayan's Rules) . I have recieved complaints from some close friends of mines and i myself noticed a lack of RPing effort here. I understand this might be much more harsh for some people but i was hoping i could develop a better rp community. but with all these randomn peeps here and there posting crap here and there i had to put my foot down and settle these rules.

Alright. in simple words, Please do noy quote in RPs. Its annoying and only takes up space. you are however allowed to quote lil parts of somones post taht you want to point out as Rene did. You arent however going to keep quoting a quote of a quote and such. THAT is not allowed. In OCC threads however.
Knock yourself out.
Ky: Announcement! In light of recent events, I have decided to implement a new rule. There will be NO stealing of items from other characters unless you have the express permission of the person who the character belongs to. That's right. Ask before you steal something (not in the RP of course but like, over IM or PM).
