1. Follow all GaiaOnline Rules and Terms of Service
a. If you haven’t read these, then we highly suggest doing so; however, if you can’t remember or feel too lazy to take the time to actually read them, then here’s a compressed version: No harassment, no posting of pornographic material, no threatening, hateful, racially, or ethnically insulting, and other inappropriate content.
b. If you break one of these rules, YOU WILL BE REPORTED; NO EXCEPTIONS.
2. Follow all Guild Rules [what you're currently reading].
3. No cybering. Cybering is against the GaiaOnline Terms of Service. This Guild is going to stay PG-13 on that system because yes, we do have younger members.
a. This being said, light fanservice is, indeed, permitted. Please be responsible. We are paying attention.
4. Contact a moderator if you see any rules broken or anyone violating the Terms of Service. You can contact the Captain TheVikingWay Simply explain the situation. Do not correct others about the fact that they are breaking the rules; that’s what the moderators are for. This much also prevents useless bickering.
5. Although everyone is from different areas and will be respected for that much, we will be asking for the official language of the Guild to be English. Je peux parler français, but the fact that you may not know what that says proves the importance of this rule.
6. No flaming. Remember the “Golden Rule,” and be respectful towards all. This connects back to the Terms of Service.
7. Do your best to create internal stories within the RP. Keep things dramatic and entertaining. Don't be afraid to get together and plan things!
8. Please do not advertise within the Guild. Links and photos within signatures are okay, but please keep it to that extent.
9. Watch your spoilers! Not everyone has finished every Volume produced of RWBY. If you believe that what you're speaking of could be a spoiler, please give a warning before your discussion of said spoiler within your post.
10. Have fun and enjoy yourself while you’re here!
11. The Guild Rules are subject to change and additions.
12. If you have read the Guild Rules, and the Rules for Role Playing, thank you very much for your time, and please feel free to sign below.
Rules for Roleplaying
1. Follow all GaiaOnline ToS and Guild Rules.
2. No godmodding; no auto-hitting, or killing other characters without the user’s and the Captain's permission. Speaking of auto-hitting, don’t decide to dodge absolutely everything, either. Take a hit every now and then. There will, however, be more powerful characters and opponents, but know no one is perfect. Those who are will know that they are, but if you’re not sure, then you’re probably not.
3. Please don’t join and then drop out. No one wants to see this die [at least I don't want it to...], so just keep that in mind. If you’re going to be absent from the RP for a time. Notify everyone through an OOC Post (in the correct subforum) or note and, if you'd like, you may give permission to another to either control your character or drag them around with theirs.
4. Don’t run away with the plot. This isn’t a 1x1, so if you’ve noticed that someone hasn’t posted in a bit, try to slow your posting. Keep the RP steadily paced rather than turn it into a 1x1. Not many people want to see a whole page of just two people posting. If it's been a while, feel free to PM someone who's gone MIA and ask if they're still interested.
5. Keep to your profile(s). Stay in character. Just, stay true to your profile(s).
6. Please no flaming, spamming, or cybering and all that jazz, as previously stated above in the Guild Rules.
7. This RP is PG-13. Keep it clean enough. Simple, cutesy fan-service is A-Okay, just make sure that you’re following the rules of GaiaOnline. Everyone’s smart enough to understand the difference of what is and is not appropriate.
8. Please try to keep swearing to a minimum. You can swear if you like, but don’t make it every three words.
9. DO NOT use text language. This is a literate to semi-literate RP, not your cellphone. We shouldn't need Urban Dictionary to read your posts.
10. Try your best not to post one-liners. They’re pretty much useless posts if you can fit everything that you need to say or do in one single line of text. If this is remotely possible, then I applaud you.
11. DO NOT PM your profiles to the Guild Crew. We won’t be happy to see your profile in our inbox. Please post them in the respective area.
12. CREATE RELATIONSHIPS! We want this intricate and fancy!
13. Limit your character amount to three at the current moment while we still have a low amount of members, and just make sure that you can keep up with all of them if you decide to make multiple.
14. Have fun and enjoy yourself!
15. Please attempt to keep your posts attractive. One post color, your character's name, and your character's photo would be nice. Not only does it make things aesthetically pleasing, it also helps others know who their character is interacting with.
17. These rules are subject to change and additions. All members will be notified as the rules are updated.
18. If you plan on entering combat with another character, please discuss the outcome with your combatant beforehand. This will allow for less godmodding. Quote them in Out of Character Chat or PM them.
I, [b]Your Gaia name[/b], do hereby certify that I have read the rules, and not only understand them, but also understand the punishments for breaking them, up to, and including potential banishment from the guild.
