Welcome the official guild of the Castle of the Azure Skies!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. There have been a lot of changes in the past year and a half. And once again, not only the way we do things here, but the overall philosophy has changed.
Where as we use to try and stick to one plot until the end, I feel that it is better to break free and, well, just rp to our fancies. Now this means that a lot of loose strings will be left. We might bounce around more, but hopefully soon there will be more members to have many different rp's going on at once. So don't fret, if you truly want to finish a plot, post in the OOC and rally the troops! Topics won't be deleted unless everyone agrees that it is time, so there is always a chance to go back.
As for the new structure, there is one main forum, where you are now, and five subforums.
Welcome Forum: This is where you are now and the main forum of the guild. You'll find announcements, rules, guidelines, and other little tidbits here. More importantly you will find the welcome thread to the new members of the guild. If you are new, feel free to post there to say hello. And if you are an older member, feel free to say hi back!
OOC Forum: This is where you will find all none rp related chat. I like to think of it as our chatroom to meet the person behind the screen. Here you will find the normal OOC chat thread, the idea thread (if you have an idea for an rp, post there), and the request thread (where applications of gaians are considered). If you wish to request a friend of yours, post there with their profile page included, and if you see that there is a current application in progress, feel free to give your opinion of the applicant.
CAS Character Forum: This is where you will find character sheets for any Castle characters. Any none castle characters may also be posted within your own thread, but please make a note of that so we aren't confused. Each person has a thread to themselves that will be used as they wish.
Roleplay Forum: This is where all none castle related roleplay will take place. Basically where you will find the random bar threads, or what ever you can come up with. You don't need permission to start a thread in this forum, but it does have to fall under the rules of the guild.
Fiction and Art Forum: This is where you will find all creative works that have absolutely nothing to do with rp. Each member, if they so desire, will create their own thread and post their own work. If you found an interesting picture or poem, but you did not write it. Post it in the image or word dump for all to see. Your own thread is reserved only for your creative work.
Castle Roleplay Forum: And finally what makes our guild, well ... our guild. This is where all castle related rp will take place. Usually there is one main plot thread and a few Azu's floating about. (What is an Azu?) This is where your main characters will be rping, and where you can usually find the older members of the guild. For information on each thread, read the first post, or ask another guild member.
And there you have it. This is the basic outline of the entire guild. If you still have questions, don't hesitate to drop me a pm, or simply ask any other guild member. Welcome and I look forward to some fun times ahead!
