RULES OF NEVERMORE
Read the rules below. If you have any questions about Guild Rules or Rules for Roleplaying, please refer to Ask the Crew! There are also helpful FAQs to check out there. Please read both before posting in the Forums. Any unauthorized posts in this thread will be removed. The Guild is going to run on a three-strike system. If breaking RP Rules or simple Guild Rules, there will be two warnings. If this happens again, then consequential measures will be taken. If you are told that you are breaking a rule or are considered to be breaking one, then you will be advised of this and explained as to why; however, you may be subject to automatic report and banishment if caught breaking the GaiaOnline Terms of Service.
Guild Rules
1. Follow all GaiaOnline Rules and Terms of Service
a. If you haven’t read these, then we highly suggest doing so. Here’s a compressed version: No harassment, no posting of pornographic material, no threatening, hateful, racially, or ethnically insulting, and other inappropriate content.
b. If you break any of these, YOU WILL BE REPORTED AND BANNED; NO EXCEPTIONS.
2. Follow all Guild Rules [what you're currently reading].
3. No cybering. This is an everyone-friendly Guild. Along with that, cybering is also against the GaiaOnline Terms of Service. This Guild is going to stay PG-13. We do have younger Members.
a. This being said, light fanservice is, indeed, permitted. Please be responsible. We are paying attention.
4. Contact a Crew Member if you see any rules broken or anyone violating the Terms of Service. This can be done by any means. Simply explain the situation. Do not correct others about the fact that they are breaking the rules; that’s what the Crew is for. This much also prevents useless bickering.
5. Although everyone is from different areas and will be respected for that much, we will be asking for the official language of the Guild to be English.
6. No flaming. Remember the “Golden Rule,” and be respectful towards all. This connects back to the Terms of Service.
7. Do your best to create internal stories within the RP. Keep things dramatic and entertaining. Don't be afraid to get together and plan things!
8. Please do not advertise within the Guild. Links and photos within signatures are okay, but please keep it to that extent.
9. Only Crew Members may create new threads aside from character threads. Don't create Topics without permission.
10. Have fun and enjoy yourself while you’re here! That’s why we're all here!
11. The Guild Rules are subject to change and addition. Keep a lookout for updates.
12. If you have read the Guild Rules, and the Rules for Role Playing, thank you very much for your time, and please feel free to sign below.
Rules for Role Playing
1. Follow all GaiaOnline ToS and Guild Rules.
2. No godmodding; no auto-hitting or forever-dodging, killing other characters without the permission of the character's user and a notification of a Crew Member. There will, however, be more powerful characters and opponents, but know no one is perfect. Please keep that in mind.
3. Please don’t join and then not be active. No one wants to see this die [at least I don't want it to...], so just keep that in mind. If you’re going to be absent from the for a time, notify your comrades through an OOC Post [in the correct subforum]. If you'd like, you may give permission to another to either control your character or drag them around with theirs.
4. Don’t run away with the plot. If it's been a while, find a means of contacting someone who's gone MIA and ask if they're still interested before proceeding without them.
5. Stay true to your profile. Stay in character.
6. Please no flaming, spamming, or cybering as previously mentioned in the Guild Rules.
7. This RP is PG-13. Keep it clean enough. Simple, cutesy fan-service is A-Okay, just make sure that you’re following the rules of GaiaOnline. You're all capable of understanding what is and isn't important.
8. Please try to keep swearing to a minimum. You can swear if you like, but don’t make it every three words.
9. DO NOT use text language. This is a roleplay, not your cellphone.
10. Try your best not to post one-liners.
11. DO NOT PM your profiles to the Guild Crew. We won’t be happy to see your profile in our inbox. Please post them in Profile Submission.
12. Create relationships [and we don't mean romantic] with other characters. Interact with each other or else things will get real boring real fast.
13. The current character limit is three.
14. Have fun and enjoy yourself!
15. Please do your best to keep up with the schematics and jargon of the RP. A Lore and World Book is available for your convenience, so please keep an eye out for certain items or terms.
16. Please attempt to keep your posts attractive. Your character's name and your character's photo would be nice. Not only does it make things aesthetically pleasing, it also helps others know with whom they're interacting.
17. These rules are subject to change and additions. All members will be updated as the rules are.
18. If you plan on entering combat with another character, please discuss the outcome with your combatant beforehand. This will allow for less godmodding. Quote them in Out of Character Chat or find another means of contacting them.
