Rules

// O w n e r s h i p //

As I, Exchange_Ninja_James am the owner of this guild, it is only natural that I've the position of role play moderator. I have however, no claim of being God or anything of the like (at least in the role play). The only placement I have is that I have the final say in all disputes, unless your argument is the viable one, as well as the position of chief in the role play.. I will have moderators, though there are none as of now. They deserve the utmost respect, much like I do. They have the ability to issue warnings, but they need my permission to cut someone from the roleplay, as well as the guild. If you have a question and I'm not online, then these people have my trust and you can ask them.

Their positions in the role play, as well as mine will be in the monarchy of the community. If there if a player dispute it's their job to act as judges in the role plays court, as well as enforcers of these rules. If I am away they will act as the community leaders.

This is not literate to advanced roleplay (other then in the lit. Hangout). That does not mean you shouldn't have decent grammar all of the time, and almost good spelling all of the time. Honestly, I believe in quality over quantity, but I need you to post at least three sentences in all semi-lit. threads, and 2 paragraphs or more in the lit. threads.. If you have writer's block, that's fine, but you shouldn't be anywhere but the semi-lit sub forums, and threads if you don't know how to over come that by describing landscape, things around you, or adding motions/ gestures to your character's movement. This doesn't mean I want four paragraphs on the blades of grass that your character is staring at. God no. If I want paragraphs on scenery detail I'll go read Eragon again. You should try to make posts that people can work off of. I don't care you to have a post layout, because it really doesn't add to your skill, it's just eye candy (feel free to make one though)! If you make your posts colorful, make sure they're not blinding. Color or bold all your dialog, as well as place it in between a sexy pair of quotes. Italicise your thoughts. Also please post in size 9-12. Anything bigger looks horrible.

If you've made it this far than congratulations, you've made it further than someone else, I'm sure. Anywho, onto profiles and characters. First of all, this is my favorite part of the roleplay, so it's going to be fun here. I want for you to have fun making your character, but I don't want to have every character be overly emo, or overly perfect. I'm tired of seeing them. You need to have an even balance of ups and downs. Now, I'm not saying that I'm perfect in my characters, we all say it, but try to avoid it as much as possible. Post your profiles in the introduction subforum's {Fursona Profiles} thread. Now, I will ask kindly. Please do not mess with my profile layout aside from size and color. Other than those two things, leave it alone. Also note, one fursona per person.. If you have more then one, your not a real furry. Your fursona is you in your anthropomorphic state. Unless your schizophrenic, then you have only one

This roleplay stands at a PG-16 to PG-17 rating, which means that things will happen, such as a bit of fighting, and maybe some romance. A bit of cussing will probably happen, also. Not to mention maybe a bit of smoking or anything of the like. I can't control this, and quiet frankly I don't want to. I know Gaia's TOS say pg-13, but I'd let a 13 year old watch fighting, smoking, drinking, cussing, and romance (to a certain level) Their are only a few things I refuse to have in this roleplay is: Cybering, killing, Self mutilation, and drugs (other then liquor and cigarettes. . If you're going to cyber do it on your own time, I think it's odd that people do it. Don't even mention it. Killing is bad because it ends a the entire possibility to role play. Since you can only have one fursona, I expect it not to die.

Role playing in more then one thread at a time for the guild role play is strictly forbidden. For starters, the places are meant to better describe, and make the roleplaying more realistic. If you want to swap places you must Make a post in the place you currently are stating that you are leaving for a different area. If you do not do this, I'm sorry but I'll have to kick you from the role play. This is because it's one large guild-wide role play, and interacting with two people would confuse the others. That's like having a clone. Clones are eviiiiiil!

If you and another character are going to have a fight, fine, be my guest, just don't Godmod/powerplay/autohit. Play nice with everyone. Playing fairly with the others is also a rule in general. If you're having a problem with someone go ahead and talk to me about it and I'll get both sides of the story and make my verdict then. This role play has a court room with judges for if a character broke a in-roleplay rule, but the judges (crew members) are here for external disputes as well. Talk to us! Please play nice in the sandbox. Attempt a show kindness to everyone regardless of their sexuality, personality, or anything of the like. If I catch you flaming someone than I'm going to have to give you a warning. I understand violence and hating on someone to advance plot, but if it's affecting them, or they feel picked on (contact me if this is the case) then I will tell you to stop, as well as warn you.
