arrow There are two Types of Rules we gots around here in Ria High, One will give you an Insta-Ban, The other is a 3 warning type rule thing, which basically means you wil get 3 warnings before you are banned.
arrow We also have 2 different types of bans here. One is a temp Ban, Which can range from 1 week to 3 month. The other is a permant Ban. Which basically means, well.. Your never allowed to return to Ria high ever again XD! Keep in mind that KuraiGekkou has the full power to give insta-bans whenever he feels it is nessacary.
And now the rules... ::Cracks knuckles:: (Kudo's to Rayan for writing some of these out)
No Powerplaying/God-moding. This means that you cannot make your character overly powerful (ex. bam I punched you hard in the face and you crumple to the floor, dead). You cannot say you hit someone in a battle; instead, you say you either aimed for them or completed an attack. The other person gets to decide if he gets hit or not. Ex:
{Rayan} Rayan thrust his sword directly at his opponent, Ky.
{Ky} Rayan's blade cut at Ky's arm, but it was a minor wound, and he continued to battle.
You also can't keep on dodging or blocking everything someone throws at you. The idea is to be fair- being "cheap" is lame and distasteful. If you fight unfairly, it makes things no fun. However, you can do pretty much whatever you want to NPCs (Non-Player Characters), just don't make it stupid by being unrealistically powerful, even if they are only NPCs. It would get quite annoying!
Along with this rule will include You cannot kill another person's character without their consent. Duh.
Oh.. and please.. don't steal other character's items without their consent either.

Swearing/Cussing should be kept to a minimum. . Now, it is understandable in a role-play setting. If your character is getting his or her butt whooped in a battle, or someone is about to die, they'll probably going to mouth off a word or two (or a couple of paragraphs, depending on who the person is ) in fact, it might be unrealistic if they didn't. However, in general, swearing should be rare as opposed to common place. Not only is it generally unwholesome, but it gets INSANELY ANNOYING when people go around and cuss at each other and at everything all the time. I've experienced this before, and regardless of whether you tolerate this sort of language or not, it really does get annoying for many people. The Ria Crew members can decide how to respond to this issue as they please.
This also is effective in OCC situations. So be nice. X3. We have Virgin ears around us.

Of course there's romance! What else is life good for? However, as already said, No cybering, meaning, don't go off 'the deep end' and get overly sexual. It's disgusting, and I don't want anyone pouring out his or her lusts on the threads in this guild. Save it for the birds, man! >_<

Do not advertise any other site/guild unless you get permission from a Crew member.

No Quoting within Rps. Its.. just.. well.. Wastes a whole bunch of space and all. And if we want to read stuff that happened before.. we will just go back a few pages. Come on People. We aren't that lazy are we XD?

NO one liners. Follow basic grammar This means nothing less then two and a half lines (according to Kurai's comp X3)/303 characters. If you can't keep up a good RP over 2 lines, well then get your butt out of Ria high, cause a lot of people will get on your case about this X3.
Here is an example of what 'barely' meets the requirements:
The girl looked down at the other girl, who had long black hair and tears in her eyes. Slowly the girl began to have a pang feeling in her heart. She felt as if she wasn't helping her friend at all with her problems. This boy they both knew was hurting her emotionally. Finally she managed to pull up a smile and then hug her friend tightly.
And one in size 9 format:

Along with this rule, we ask of you to have basic grammar. This means you must be able to compose sentences that won't make us or your fellow RPiers cringe. This includes having basic capitalization, punctuation grammar and correct spelling. The crew members individually hold the right to issue warnings when necessary. (This applies only to RP rooms)

No 'Emo-ness' or 'negative comments' In the general board. A.K.A. Misao's 'no f-ing whining' rule! Ria high's OCC rooms are meant for pleasent energy to swell about. if you just wanna come in and just whine about oh how your 1981038th gurlfriend left you or 90132th Boyfriend cheated on you. You are FREE To do that. But if it gets to the point where at least 1 (YES one person) or more kid(s) are affected negatively from it and is obviously and clearly wanting you to stop. YOU WILL STOP. I will no longer tolerate negative energy flow within my OCC rooms. If you wanna whine to the extent it bugs people. Please do it outside my guild. Comprende? 3nodding

OOC rooms are OOC rooms. That means out of character rooms and are not meant for RPing. Silly little :: :: movements are a-ok. Such as ::pops out of a bush!::. But if your going out to RPing and describing how you do each movement like ::Comes out of the bush rubbing his chest all tantazling like while pouring syrup over his chest while emptying a silver gun bullets into a nearby tree just cause he is oh-so-sex-appealing:: is just freakin annoying and reminds me too much of some simple Barton RP areas. If you want to do RPs like that you can either go to the Chibi Room located on our front forum, or just go into some RP outside Ria high. Specifically ones titled in a manner such as: HIGH SCHOOL RP (WE NEED MORE GUYS). Basically, Keep the OOC rooms in an OOC manner. Its not a freakin RP F.F.S.. This also applies to OOC only posts in the role playing sections. Bluntly, they aren't allowed. That's why we have OOC sections.

Finally, you must obey all of the rules put up by the main Gaia site (The ones that you had to agree to obey when you first registered). Not doing so could get you deleted or banned.
