KISARINNY AND I ARE THE MA AND PA OF THIS ENTIRE GUILD!
Final say for anything comes down to us, keep that in mind, please!


1.) Literacy is important. If you can't make at least ONE paragraph with decent spelling and an attempt at punctuation, then you really need to look elsewhere.
'Txt tlk lol omfg' is not welcome here. OOC (Out Of Character) should be in (Brackets) {Brackets} [Brackets] OR placed in an appropriate OOC thread.

2.) There will be no tolerance for rude, closed minded, bigoted behavior here as well. There will very likely be people here with other sexual preferences and religious beliefs (And generic background) which means that we need to make nice and be polite individuals. This is a 'one strike you're out' rule.

3.) Post as often as you can. It's very VERY rude to leave someone sitting there waiting for you for days at a time. If you won't be able to post, give a reason to me or the person you're engaged with. Anyone failing to post within three days without excuse will be kicked after a warning. If you join, post once, and never reply again. YOU WILL BE BOOTED.

4.) Pictures need to be remotely tasteful. No raunchy n***s. No tasteless gore. And absolutely no 'Real Life' pictures or video game characters. The point is to play your own original character. Yes you may use anime pictures from online, just don't use some one else's popular, preconceived character. These must be submitted in IMG format. If you cannot get this to work, explain why and I will help resolve the issue.

5.) Do not attention whore. If you steal someone's rp partner or try to yank everyone to your personal story- I will give only one warning to you before booting.

6.) Don't ignore lonely players. If someone needs an RP partner, please inform me or be courteous and deal with said person kindly.

7.) Profiles must be submitted to me (or the applicable leader) labeled under the respective title AND the the requested title of the thread creator.

8.) Gore and violence is allowed, as is cursing, but just make sure that the application of these things is not over done to the point of being offensive. If the gore rivals the description of 'Cupcakes' or 'Saw' then you need to chill the hell out. If your language starts to shame sailors and rough folk, then you need a bar of soap, and believe me, I'll supply the soap.

9.) No cybering. Take that crap elsewhere or time skip. No godmodding. Anything from playing someone's character for them, to being invincible IS godmodding; it's inconsiderate and annoying as hell. No trolling/ flaming. You want to be a bully for the sake of amusement? Go to Chatterbox. They love people like that but stay out of here. And finally, no spamming. If you want to advertise something do so somewhere else (this doesn't mean sigs, this means outright posts with ads in them). And seriously. We're grown people here for the most part, I shouldn't have to tell you to obey the TOS, but I will. OBEY THE TOS!

10.) Feel free to make suggestions for plot and generic parts of the guild (i.e: RP ideas, good threads/ events, etc.).

11.) Feel free to invite people (just make sure that they talk to me first for interview).

12.) DO NOT OPEN NEEDLESS THREADS! And don't post up anything without consulting me first. This is a respectable guild, not chatterbox. Post your idea in the PROPOSALS thread first and I will review it and place permissions. Thank you.

13.) THERE IS NOW A INACTIVITY RULE IN EFFECT. Inactivity going on for longer than a week will result in a demotion if you are a higher rank- A boot our if you are no longer capable of demotion. Inactivity CAN BE EXCUSED with a proper excuse issued: i.e. Sickness, emergency, family event, etc. Failure to satisfy this rule will result in immediate ejection from the guild. It's not a hard rule to follow. Post in OOC or respond to rp at LEAST once a week (not preferable- But at least you're not in violation).

Is it OK for a character to do any or all of the following?
-Use text talk, particularly if they are actually texting?. Use other "improper" language (i.e. slang, lousy grammar, misspelling, dialect, archaic spelling, invented words, & c. provided that doing so is in character and/or appropriate to the roleplay?
-Be bigoted and rude?
-Cyber, godmod, bully, troll, or post Mary Sues/Gary Stus in appropriate situations (i.e. RPs about RPing)?


Also, what is our policy on autocorrect? If the issue is either pointed out and promptly corrected or no one notices for a while (and, like "hi! I am an oui!" or "if the issue is either pointer out..." is obvions lu (obviously) the fault of autocorrect as opposed to lousy spelling and/or grammar), will it count against the autocorrected party?

Given the proper situation, yes, I suppose the rules may be flexible there, but cybering and godmodding are still quite frowned upon.

There's no issue there. Typos happen all the time to those without autocorrect. So long as the message as a whole is understandable, it's fine.
