RP Rules
[0__] Keep the the Gaia ToS!
[1__] Keeping a RP journal is required for owners. This will allow you, and us, to keep track of your Essentic's development and greatly aid us in properly defining it's next stage's form, as well as be a testimony to your RP prowess.
[2__] Try to keep up 1 RP post every two months. Whether in the Records, RP in the guild or in the main thread, it doesn't matter, as long as it is recorded somewhere in your log.
[3__] You must show activity at least ONCE a month. If you're forced into hiatus, please let us know.
[4__] Your ownership will be voided if you fail to follow the above 2 rules.
[5__] If you're forced into hiatus, let us know, through any means. We will ask for a valid reason (boredom isn't one). A warning will be issued to you if we consider terminating your ownership, and if you fail to respond within a month, we will have to take action.
[6__] You cannot go on hiatus for more than 6 months. Like any RP-intensive breedable, it's a long-term commitment to become an owner. Surely you'll be able to squeeze in a few minutes at least once a month, even in dire times?
[7__] Please stay in character. Even if your Essentic will come with the baggage of its pre-defined purpose and class, we've attempted to give Rpers as much freedom with their character development as we can. OOC notes will be signalled with (( )) [ ] // // brackets. Every post made in the RP subforum threads will need to include at least one bit of IC material. (Exceptions to this are RP opening posts and the Profiles thread).
[8__] No God-modding. This should be clear to anyone who enjoys a proper RP. Be smart and creative when handling your Essentic's skills and abilities.
[9__] You will only receive 3 warnings! The 4th time you go into long periods of inactivity without reason again We'll be forced to renounce your ownership. : <
[10_] RP threads in the guild will be locked if inactive for 8 months.
[11_] Shop staff CANNOT go inactive in-thread or in-RP for more than 2 months. If you become staff, we will rely on you like a partner, and we cannot continue to work with someone who isn't/can't be involved with the shop properly.
[12_] Check which subforum your RP goes into. If your RP doesn't involve a Staff member or an Owner, RP in the non-owner and open events subforum :3
[13_] Only the shop mule may start Journal threads. The Owners themselves will make their journal in the topic reserved for them and cannot edit the first post.
