Welcome to Gaia! ::

A brief board overview

The board has been sectioned off in to quite a few different areas. Both RP and non. Please feel free to look around, as a basic explanation of each board is placed in the first post of each. Here you can get a very basic overview of how it was created and for what purpose.

The Announcements are just that. When something comes up in the wood, the information will be put in the post, as well as the title edited to show the last announcement date. You ARE responsible for the info posted here.

The Info/Rules/F.A.Q is also pretty self explanatory. Whether you intend to RP or just chat and hang around...you should read the information in here. It deals with both in character and out of character expectations. Again, you are responsible for the information in here, and ignorance will not be a defense.

About the Wood is a general explanation about the RP environment and the system of play here. If you intend to RP, be sure to peruse this information.

The Story Circle is a sort of "guild quest" area. Information will be posted here in regards to adventures and quests that you can take. These can be anything from solving a riddle, to a storytelling contest, to even a search. They can be RP centered, or something physical such as a hunt for a specific Gaian item or tidbit of information. Prizes are given out for completion of these quests.
Thanks to Bob Dobbs for his suggestions on what type of quests to do

The Collection Corner will be where items and trinkets can be purchased. Some have magical properties, some are just pretty. You can also buy gifts for others...which leads to ...

The Gift Tree is the designated area to leave gifts for others. If you have bought something either IC, or OOC, you can post that gift here, or even RP out a romantic exchange.

The Whispering Glen, Lake of Dreams, Puck's wood, Marsh of Evermoor, Aerie, Badlands are all physical locations in the overall RP. If you are in a certain area RPing, you would use that thread. Should you move out of that area, please post where you are going, and what page it picks up on (so the story can be more easily followed!). These areas are all preceeded by [LOC] for "location". Only IC posts here, please.

Suggestions is where you leave any ideas either IC or OOC about the board or the gameplay. We like input. It makes us happy.

Characters This is where you post your RP character bios. This helps overall.

General Rules
Not to be confused with General Failure...that's his brother.

Most of the rules here are easy and common sense. And ultimately, that is what the rules are in a nutshell. I may have to spell them out below, for the sake of being thorough...but all rules boil down to one.

God gave you a head. Use it.

1 When Effie and Chae make a decision, it is final
2 Do not argue/carry on/act peevish on the boards, or shop.
3 Lose graciously. In whatever you do. Their are always more chances.
4 If you have a question or concern, please ask for permission to PM, and then PM. Do not spout your grieviences in public. If you have been wronged, we will try to right it.
4 In honor of Everdark, we forego rule 4
5 Please read all the rules. Granted, it's a lot...but we put them here for a reason
6 If you can't be patient or nice, then please don't say anything at all.
7 Spam is not tasty. Don't do it.
