Basic RP Rules
No meta-gaming - Make sure that what you know and what your character knows are separate entities. You may have read a character's profile, but your character has not. Use only what you have learned through RP.
No god-moding - You should never dictate another character's actions without the other person's permission. The best way to avoid problems in fights or other kinds of conflict is to contact the other user via IM or PM to work out the loose sketch before you begin the RP.
Keep it PG-13 - Gaia's ToS requires all threads on the forums, in guilds, or PMs to be PG-13. This means that any violence should be written in relatively tame terms, and all sex must Fade to Black before it hits the juicy bits.

Post Formatting
All RP posts should be written in storybook style: third person past tense, with conversation between quotation marks. No chatspeak, please. Out of Character comments, if required, should be clearly marked. Character thoughts are best represented with italics.
Post Tags
If you'd like, you can tag your threads for clarity, so that other people can see what it's about, etc:
[OPEN] or [O]
tabThe thread is open to anyone who wishes to enter and join you in RP.
[CLOSED] or [C]
tabThe thread is only open to people who have been specifically invited in.
[LIT]
tabThe thread is not open to anyone, and is a solo-RP written by one person.
[CHARACTER NAMES]
tabIt's always wise to include a list of characters in a specific thread.
[LOCK]
tabWhen all participants have left the thread, add this tag to the original title to have the topic locked.
