Spelling and grammar
People have very different standards for spelling and grammar in the email and roleplaying world. While roleplaying, try to err on the grammatically correct side of things (this way they know you are capable of writing a complete sentence). It never hurts to run a spell-check or take time to proofread.- TOS Must Be Followed
-
Keep Conversations Literate!- No Cybering or Hanky-Panky (Normal Romance Aloud. PG-13)
- No Flaming Out of Character, For No Reason. [OOC]
- Fighting Aloud but NO Godmodding (Ex. *Kills you* "I win")

If i see anything that breaks this one and only rule, The entire room shall be deleted.

More Rules Profanity - Cursing happens, it happens a lot, I do not mind people using profanity but please keep it to a minimum, Profanity does not happen after every second word.
Advertisement - You come to this haven because you have heard about it through word of mouth, advertising happens, I do not mind people mentioning their own bars/nightclubs/Inns in their post. However do not post a straight advertisement, lottos do not count as a bar and anyone seen mentioning their bar every new post with someone will be warned.
Cyber - Romance happens, flirting happens, but I must insist the cyber be kept to pg-13, for those who do not know the pg 13 rule, the rule means anything you see on TV is allowed. If you wish to go further take it to pms please.
Cyber II - A note to those who like slaves and pets, this is fine, servants are around but I will state be considerate about it. This is not a Hentai House;
on no accounts do I want to see anyone being a slave against their will or being beaten against their will. Make sure both parties involved are happy with what is going on. Breaking of this rule will result in instant banning.
Fighting - Fighting is a natural thing, it happens and it will happen in this guild. Can I ask all involved to please not fight in the haven . There is an Arena available for the use of fighting and an entire forest outside. The rules of fighting are in the three most common styles, Paragraph, AMP and Duality. If you are unsure of the rules please ask before hand and someone will explain also please state what style of fighting you will be using before hand. If you believe there should other fighting styles up here, please pm the rules and I shall look them over, I'm always interested in new styles.
Posts - This is a haven for humans, vampires, werewolves, anyone who likes to RP. But can you please keep your posts to a level of realism. I know we are all creatures of strange power but even the best of us use a car or motor bike to drive everywhere (far). Do no not worry if you are not a literature rper, the Haven clan welcomes all and will be willing to give out advice to those who are new to rping but do no act n00bish unless it is fun.
Posts II - If your Ic post goes ignored please do not complain, it happens to everyone you are not alone, instead of complaining and resulting your banning try talking to someone else or waiting a few then trying again. A tip I found that works if to make sure you have an rping partner before you come to the thread.
Post III - Ic and Ooc are two different worlds. For those who do not know what Ic and occ are here is the explanation.
Ic - In character, this means the character you are playing, when posting IC you are in the RP world, you play as your character.
Ooc - This means out of character, this is the player at the computer who controls the character. When ooc please state so using some kind of format, common formats for ooc are: (( )), Ooc-, Standard black text.
As said above, "ooc" and "ic" are two different worlds, if someone ic character is annoying, headstrong, steadfast then that is their character. When Ooc the character is no longer in use to please do not be flame someone ooc for their character, if someone is trying to portray a character that is hated and you want to flame them ooc. It just means they are good role player.
Godmoding- This is what happens when you create a character that is immortal, or has WAY to much power. This makes things no fun for the rest of us, and is not allowed or tolerated at all. Except only I can do it. Just kidding.(
God-moding: A character who has no weakness, is never hurt, hit, or tired. Also, a person who powerplays another person's storyline).
Auto hits/kills-Auto hits are where you hit or kill another person in battle with out asking. Example: A swung sword and B and cut off hand. Wrong. Unless you agree before hand to allow, say one auto hit per post (kind of fun) it should read: A swung sword towards B's hand.... you get the point. And there will be no auto kills, the killing of another character, unless the person gives permission.
Metagaming- Yet another definition for Godmoding
Only Clans and Families may build in the housing sub-forum of the Guild, with my permission.
Rooming and Chambers
Clans-Clans are a groups of people with the same name and there must be five or more people. (Usually much bigger, like ten)
Families are also a group sharing the same name but have over two people within it.
Please remember I will be looking over these homes. So keep it clean folks. Have Fun.
<******** with them and you'll be banned
