Here is a run down of the do's and dont's in this guild.
1. No godmodding. Do not kill someone else. It is for someone else to decide.
2. No godmodding. Do not do more then two aggresice force powers in a post. It is just not possible. That means you can not cast force lightening and then force choke someone.
3. Try to be literate. It makes it easier to understand. If you have having troubles, ask someone to help you out. Most of the guild members will help oyu if you ask nicely and offer cookies.
4. No cybering. You can have a love story, but if you want it to get phsyical- pms are the way to go.
5. Do not make degrading coments about someones roleplaying. If you think that there is a problem, then refer it to the crew and we will handle it.
6. Please keep OOC chatter to a minium in the RP threads. That is what the OOC subforum is for.
7. If you think that there is a planet needed for the RP, then post the planets name and some information about it in the Suggestions thread. Any thread not made by a crew member in the main RP page will be deleted.
8. Have fun. It is why we crew members go to the efforts we do to set up a good RP environment.
9. Keep swearing to a minium. It is never fun to read a post riddled with it.
10. Post atleast one paragraph a post.

Rules of at least Semi-Literate RolePlaying, By Lord Ladiness of Toast
1st Rule-Quoting
1. Excessive quoting is bad. If you and a person are rping in a thread and there is only you and that one person there, you do not need to quote what they just said.
2. The only time you should quote someone in an rp thread is when there is 3 or more people rping in the same thread at the same time.
3. Most of the time you will not need to quote. You should be able to follow the story and be able to tell who a person is directing a speech to.
Rule 2-Capitals&Periods in sentances
1. To understand someone in a literate rp it is essential to use periods. This lets the other people know when a train of thought starts and stops.
2. Practice as much as you can. Make it a concious effort, even in the OOC. If you need to everytime you type something say it out loud and put a period in the sentance where ever you pause for a breath.
3. Capitals are more of a fancy add-on. But they are the trademark of people who take their rping seriously. It also makes your post look much nicer to the eyes of others.
Rule 3-Acting in a literate roleplay
1. Using * before and after an action is ok, If and only if that action is short and not very descriptive.
If I said: *Hits you with a bat*
That would be ok. Now If I went into detail like this:
*I ran towards the darkened figure, and raised my golden baseball bat up high. With a mighty thwack I thwarted my enemy with a heavy blow. I panted slightly as I slid to the floor from the exertion of my strength.*
Would not be ok. You do not use the * for an action that is basically more then a sentance or two.
Rule 4-Speaking in a literate roleplay
1. This ties in greatly with acting out your charecters actions. Quotation marks are your friends. One before and after you say something. If someone does not know when you are acting something out and speaking they are likely to get confused and frustrated with you.
2.Quotation marks show when a person stops and starts speaking. Here is a good example of someone rping literate.
Code:
Toast wandered through the dense forest. The suns rays barely touched the forest floor, blocked as they were by the gentle shade of the trees. It was then that Toast came upon a gnome. Toast decided to greet it warmly.
"Hello there my good sir. How are you this fine evening?"
It's all about the quotes when you do literate rping.
