This is Important that you follow these guidelines when creating an rp. We will correct you if needed. If your rp drops in skill we will tell you to change the stat.
Things to Think about when setting up an RP:
1. Be clear and give information, try to use correct spelling and grammar as often as possible but a few mistakes are okay, we're not grammar Nazis here.
2. A title and plot summary of the RP you want to start. (Recommended that the plot summary be well thought-out, or have a set of goals)
3. How often you are on Gaia to RP. You really shouldn't start a game if you aren't going to be on for at least a few hours a day. If you're just playing in someone else's game it's fine to have left, but if you're hosting it you need to be available regularly.
5. Do not start an RP if you do not intend to stick with it for at least several weeks.
6. You must monitor your thread for R-rated content. If I find cybering or PG-13+ RolePlaying, not only may they be banned, but you may as well if you knowingly allowed it.
7. Don't create a RP that is not at your level (beginner, novice, advanced). If you're a beginner RPer, then set your RP level accordingly. However, if you'd like to move up a level, then a higher level is all right, as long as you give a concerted effort to RP at that level consistently.
When Creating:
Red - Rule, must follow this format.
No Color – Guideline. You don’t have to do this, but it’s recommended.
Titles:
1. Tags. Tags. Tags. These are extremely important. Always use them when applicable.
Status:
[+] Open To New Players
[-] Closed To New Players
Secound stat: (only use this in tittle when you determin the speed of rpers)
The rp is slow moving
[m] The rp is at a moderate steady speed and is comfortable
[f] The rp is fast moving
Rp Level:
[R-BL] Level - Beginner (poor grammar, short posts, ect)
[R-NL] Level - Novice (grammar that boarder line exellent, longer and more in depth posts with detailed pharagraphs, ect)
[R-AL] Level - Advanced (Exellent grammar, mutli-paragraphs per post, thorough character development, This is for hard core Roleplayers, ect)
Players:
[P-1x1] One Player, One on One. This is for those who want private rps with choosen players.
[P-_] Insert the number of players desired it can be changed, but only if you want it to
[P-Ult] The ultimate rp with unlimited rpers that are Welcome
Other:
[LK] If the Thread-Creator wants the thread locked. Finished Games should be locked. This is Important like everything else
[Dele.] If the Thread-Creator wants the thread deleted. It helps Give the guild more space and other rps will not be left unattended do to no one posting often.
These are a no go....
i. All Caps
ii. bRoKeN CaPs
iii. Excessive Symbols (!!! ??? @#$@)
iv. For The Love Of God, Do Not Use ChatSpeak! (Plz, U, R.)
v. RP or Yaoi in the title, redundant.
Descriptive Title: Do not simply say 'Gundam Wing/AC RP!!' It needs to have a name, like 'Faited Chains' or something to that effect.
RP Level: Beginner, Novice, Advanced
Series/Original/Or real life: Information/Background
RULES: It is very important you have rules and structure to your RP. Always mention that all players must follow the Gaia ToS and the Guild ToS, and that no PG-18+ activities will be tolerated, do not I repeat do NOT support any kind of Adult RPing.
NOTE ON RULES: If you decide to post a rule in your RP about above PG-13 activity, then it CANNOT say 'take it to PMs' or 'take elsewhere,' etcetera. THIS IS A NO-NO. The guild cannot condone activity above PG-13, since Gaia does not allow it, so if you must mention PG-13 activity, then simply say 'No activity above PG-13.' Thank you.
Policy On Bumping - While you are starting an RP, if it is not having any responses, you may bump it ONCE A DAY for as long as necessary, but once you have an active player whom you are RPing with within the thread, bumping should no longer be used since it is no longer necessary to keep your RP near the top.
If problems arrise then we will take care of it. I know that we Mods may have our time were we will be onto you about anything we think inappropriate, but it is for the guilds own good so as to not cause any unsightly problems that will cause us to lose the guild. We will appologize if we are in the wrong, but please do as told and do not forget the Gaian rules placed here for you.
Your Loving Captian,
Vampire Duzell Kitty 4laugh
