Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello, and welcome to Drums of the Serengeti! There's some basic rules that most will already follow without reading this... Still, I'll outline them for you in case you forgot one! ;D

One) Very simple and important... Don't steal. Anything. Don't steal the lineart, don't edit the lineart, don't steal banners, don't steal introductions, don't steal names, don't steal breedables. If you do you will be permanently removed from this guild, banned from it and the shop, and reported.

Two) Talk like a human. We can't all be poets, but please put forth an effort to avoid the majority of chatspeak, use proper spelling and punctuate. "N0n3 of thsi pl0x k tnks."

Three) Play nice kiddies. No fighting, okay? ;D Internet =/= Srs bsns. Thankies.

Four) Please don't spew insults and profanities about anything. D: I don't like that. If you have a problem with the administration of this guild, the artwork in the shop, or anything else... I am more then willing to hear your constructive (even harsh) criticisim. But don't just go bashing stuff. That goes for ANYTHING (sports teams, other shops, fashion tastes), not just this place.

Five) No spam. There's a fine line between "Forgetting to add something" and "Spaming with repeated posts". No one-liners in the roleplay! Thankies! biggrin

Six) Very simple. Nyow, the shop owner, is god. Listen to her when she says something, and if you don't like it... Leave. Simple as that. She reserves the right to ban, promote, demoite, warn or refuse to sell to whoever she pleases.

Seven) No powerplay or godmodding. Powerplaying means you move to strike another character and saying "Johnny hit Roberta with his Staff of the Monkey God, cracking her skull open". You don't get to decide if you hit, or how much damage you do, the other person does. And no godmodding means that you're not allowed to dodge every attack, either.

Eight) While this falls under the above, I feel the need to state it... No killing, maiming or permanently harming any character in any way without the express permission of the owner... And even then, you should also ask the artist in charge of the growing if the picture can be changed appropriately. (Chances are, it can't.)

Nine) Keep all fights and arguement in character IN CHARACTER. I can't tell you how many people get pissy that the evil charcater Bill is playing is evil to their little sweetheart character and they get SOOOO huffy, and start throwing personal insults, and makes the whole place un-fun. So So keep in mind, it's a roleplay, nor real life. It's not srrs bsns, and if you have a problem... Bother your moderator.
