/// OOC RULES ///
• Do not spam in the guild. If you want to spam somewhere, go to the chatterbox in the main Gaia forums. This is a role-play guild.
• Keep OOC chatter during the RP to the minimum or use the chatterbox thread. We request this so that the RP continues to move along smoothly
• God-moding is a no-no. God moders will be booted out of the guild without hesitation. This is based on a single warning system. You get warned once, and then you're out. If you aren't meaning to godmode please feel free to ask a moderator for assistance on how to change your playing style to accommodate the rule.
• Flaming is strictly prohibited in this guild. Keep your language respectful and if you must argue with someone, please do so through Private Messages. If absolutely necessary, you may ask a guild moderator to intervene on your behalf if you feel you are being harassed by another member. We won't hold your hands, but we will try to keep things civil for you.
• Please post in complete sentences and attempt to use good grammar. "Good" doesn't mean perfect, typos and mistakes are accepted but please at least let people understand what you mean. That implies n00b and 1337 speak aren't allowed here.
• Be descriptive about your actions, try to avoid one-liners and use a book-style role-playing. In other words, no ** to separate your actions from your words. If necessary, we will assist those who need it, but we hope it doesn't come to this.
• Please understand that time does not pass in seconds. In other words, you cannot walk out of your castle and arrive to the town miles away just because you read someone was fighting and you wanted to join the fight.
• Honor defeat and learn from it. In other words, if you are defeated in a battle, accept it, don't start complaining or god modding.
• Respect Gaia rules and TOS, including the PG-13 restriction to posts.
• Always show respect to the crew. We all work hard to keep this place alive and fun for everyone.
• Do not advertise for other guilds or role-plays in the Chatterbox, or any other threads. Our advertisements for other guilds are listed on the front page of the guild, and that is the only place they will be. Other advertisements found in the guild outside of your sig, will be deleted, and you will be given a warning. Three of these warnings will result in a ban.
• You may not role-play anywhere until your character sheet has been posted. You may not RP a shinigami in the human world, as all shinigami begin as academy students. There are exceptions, but these must be discussed with the guild captain prior to coming in to play.
• All 'technology' from the bureau must be approved before being used in play. This includes the use of gigai. Currently, all captains are NPC's, and will remain so until people obtain the correct levels to become a captain themselves. Captains will be appointed by the crew, and are granted based on skill, leadership ability, activity levels, and several other qualities not yet announced.
/// IC RULES ///
• Never use ** -- To mark your actions. Use Book style role-playing.
• Never under any circumstances god mode.
• All shikai must be approved by Dischord or The Paradox in the Shikai approval thread. You may not post your shikai there until you are at least level 4.
• All Kidou spells must be approved in its respective threads.
• Try to give your character a nice extensive background and be descriptive about his appearance and everything related to his personality and background. This gives other role players a better view of who you are and how to deal with you.
• Try to give a brief description of your character when role playing with someone new. This help placing the other person imagination to work and might increase the fun during the role playing experience.
• When using pictures, try to use a picture that actually matches the "mood" of the rp.
• Never ask to be a captain. If you ever show the potential to be one you will be tested by Yamamoto Genryuusai (Perma NPC)
• You must have permission to obtain bankai and the requirement to obtain such power must be met before you can actually unseal your sword second stage. And no there is no 3 days training bankai.
• Be original, at all cost try to make your character as original as possible. Bad rip off another characters just make things boring.
• Once again remember to post more than 3 lines. Never post a walk away or something like that really is annoying and makes you feel like you are role-playing alone... Try to give your character some drama, describe what he is thinking and what he feels when he does X or Y action.
/// GUIDE TO GOOD ROLEPLAYING ///
• We prefer a book format style of role-playing as this keeps things moving along more smoothly. Additionally, use of third person typing is preferred.
• Be considerate of other players in giving ample response time to posts you make. People have real lives, and just because someone takes a day or two to post to you doesn't mean you're being ignored, just that it will take them some time to make a response. Courteous behavior is appreciated by everyone.
