Contacting Crewmembers

At the Ibis, we do things a little bit differently. We're fairly structured, and as such have certain people you should contact for certain things. Depending on your situation, you may contact person A, but in another situation you would contact Person B. These are the Ibis' current crewmembers, and what they handle officially.

[Q]
PM him about anything. Q is the captain of the guild, and should know all. Any questions about rules, join requests, affiliate requests, etc., go to Q. He's not specialized, he just picks up where everyone else left off.

He'll do mundane tasks like banning zeroposters, inactive users, and giving out warnings. He'll also move inactive threads to Dead Threads.

Your Akina
He's a Gaia Moderator, Guild Captain, and Ibis crew member. As such, highly valued. Any ToS violations go directly to him. If you wish to PM him about guild, title the PM 'Ibis' or it may be lost in the mess of other PMs he receives.

PM him for the general stuff, as he is the general guild manager of people. Are you going away for a month? Don't have time to tell everybody? Tell him and if anybody asks, he'll know. He's like the librarian of the Ibis.

Akina will also deal with general questions, such as "What does this in the rules announcement mean?" and "Is statement B a rule violation?" He will also probably do public announcements, like a monthly line about who's doing what and when. A news reporter, if you will. He'll only keep tabs on what YOU PM him, however.

Akina has rights to make stickies if they involve community topics, especially if it has to do with the guild. Want to do a banner contest for the guild? He handles it. Recruit contest? Akina's job.

Additionally, he'll do mundane tasks such as accepting join requests and monitoring invites.

Senisok
He's the back-end manager, you could say.
Senisok will clean out zeroposters and inactive users. He'll handle join requests and invites. He can organize official threads in Pale Ocelot(such as the memberlist), as well as make suggestion to the other crewmembers on how the mechanics of the guild should work.
If you can't see it, Senisok probably did it.

You should only PM Senisok if a.) You were banned from the ibis, and you think it was wrongful, or you want to re-join. b) if you wish to invite your mule so you don't have to fill out a join request(although if you state who's mule you are you should be fine with a join request).

Senisok will also work hand in hand with Q for member bannings. As such, he keeps track of the %&#xWa;rning List%%. If a member reaches 3 warnings on this list, Senisok will either deem it fit to ban the member with our three strikes you're out policy, or PM Q with what he think should be done, if the warnings were issues for small things(like bumping).
If a crew member gets two warnings, he goes through the same procedure. If the crewmember's two warnings were warranted, he'll notify Q to de-crew that person, or if the rule violations were really horrible, he'll ban the crewmember. He'll also notify Q if he thinks some other lesser punishment should take place.

OneCalledPyrin
She will handle the RP linklist.
People should PM her to take their RPs off the list, or put them on. She'll also handle join requests whenever, but otherwise isn't really obligated to do anything else.

General How-To

Make an RP Thread
You can set it up like a mini-shop(reserving posts for certain things) or you can put everything in the first post.

It's good to have How to join, the story of the RP, rules, character list/characters available/news all on the first page.

The setting should be made as well, and then it should be free reign for everyone to RP in. [Note that if you reserve posts, you have seven days to flesh them out. Otherwise your thread will be moved to dead threads]

Move your old RP thread to here
I would say just copy and paste your critical info, such as how to join, the story, and the news and players, etc. here, and then link to the old thread for an archive of what has happened. But do NOT just link to your RP to advertise. This is against the rules! Your thread will be locked, you warned, and then later your thread will be deleted.

Get your RP on the Roleplay List
PM OneCalledPyrin with the link to your RP thread, explanation of the plot, and the genre of the RolePlay.

Get your thread deleted/moved/locked
PM a crew member using the guide in the previous post or put [DELETE] or [LOCK] in your subject title of your thread and somebody will get to it.

Get your RP Thread off the RolePlay LinkList
PM OneCalledPyrin. You do not need a reason to get your RP off the RolePlay LinkList.

Become an affiliate
We are not accepting affiliates at this time.

%%Submit a banner for the guild
We'll have an official thread for that soon.%%

Make a Character Bio Thread
Typically, Character Bio threads have one post per character, one thread for all your characters. People usually do not respond to these threads unless you are looking for comments/critism in how you made/devolped the character.
Things to include for explaining your characters are Name, age, sex, height, weight, description, sometimes a picture, weapons, history, and sometimes a sample post.
Afterward, sometimes there are links to threads that character has shown up in, as well as what genres/eras/geographic locations that character is RPed in.
Even less frequently is an OOC excerpt of what the person did to create the character, or other interesting facts that the person feels like showing off at the time. Some examples of Character Bio threads are here, plus an extremely overzealous guide on Character biographies here.

Make an RP Resume
Resumes are a little different from Character Bio threads, but essentially the same. That sentence didn't make much sense.

Anyway, Resumes typically have a list of all the characters you use, links to threads you've roleplayed in, an explanation of what exactly you have roleplayed(what genres, how long, do you do paper & Pencil?) In a nutshell, it's you trying to prove you're the best RPer out there. It's really just you bragging about your abilities, and how long you've had them.
You can also list what "styles" of roleplay you can do (descriptive, para, story-based, literate, t1, t2, t3) and what styles you have done before(speed-based, chat-based, one-lining), as well as what styles you're comfortable RPing with.
It is also common to have a short biography of the "mun"(person behind the characters), talking about yourself and who you are. So it is a resume, but.. For. Roleplaying. It's for obsessed people. I've never tried to put a resume into a thread; most people put their resumes on webpages, as I have done here.
