Roleplaying:
All topic owners may host their version of Nalizaro and Nalizaro only. What if you want to host a realm of flying fish fungus? Okay fine, but that's through a door of Nalizaro that your roleplay group can visit. Like anything there's technicalities that can get around this rule, but if your topic is reported to me I will examine it and take it down if it doesn't tie in.
There are topics for chatting in, and there are roleplaying topics. You can keep character in the chat topics, you cannot drop character in the roleplaying topics. Doing so renders the topic creator to decide your fate which could lead to a ban if it keeps happening.
Roleplay within reason. If your character is an a*****e, fine, but if it gets personal or the topic creator asks you to knock it off then do so. Gaia is a PG13 website, so keep it in your pants! I mean, honestly I don't care, but it's their rules so if it gets reported to me it'll get taken down. Language isn't really an issue to me, but the topic creators might have their own rules.
Lord Takaku plays Lord Takaku. What does that mean? Well, if you host a realm of Nalizaro, you by all means, control Lord Takaku. But if he does happen to hop into your game, he might come to stir some stuff up and create some action. He is unpredictable, and does as he pleases, after all this is his realm. If you think he came in and just ruined a story plot, send him a PM, if your odds be good he might adjust the course back. If your story caught his interest he may bless your team or yourself with in game gifts, or Gaia gifts. So let your odds be good! He might pop in just to roll a dice or a number, it's optional whether or not your members roll also, but matching his number could win you a prize.
Follow the rules of the topic host! They are Lord Takaku, unless Lord Takaku pops in, then they are Lord Takaku's shadow which is just as awesome as he is, and they become him again if he is not around! Do not break Lord Takaku's rules! Topic hosts should create some sort of icon or symbol to mark when their post is being said as Lord Takaku, especially if they have other characters they're roleplaying in this realm. If no mark is assigned it should be assumed they are just playing Takaku, as he is the voice of his realm and the storyteller.I just called a bunch of topic hosts gods...what have I done...
Mark in the first post if you plan to discuss adult topics. Obviously, don't get freaky in these things, but if you're going to use dark humor, violence, adult language put a warning. Situations will be dealt with if they go overboard, but if you want to cuss like a sailor do it in the respective places. Go by the chain of command: topic hosts first, then guild representatives. If you report to a guild representative without trying to work a situation out with the topic host. If their game is going a way you don't like, try to talk to the topic host, otherwise find a different game. If the game is going in a rule violation way, inform the topic host to try to clean it up, otherwise contact a guild representative.
For the most part I'm pretty open on what goes on here. If you don't like Takaku, say so, he doesn't care, in fact he makes a game out of it. You don't have to be loving and polite to him, he's merely the host of this realm. But remember, roleplay within reason. His RL owner does have feelings and will let you know if you're not being constructive.
