The Unavoidable Rules Section... Yes yes Rules they are annoying, irritating and we'd rather skim them than really read. However they are necessary to keep a roleplay fun. And if you skim these rules, you might end up being rejected or told to read again (just a heads up). Ignorance of the rules is not an option. You break the rules, you are out. So be sure to read them so we can all get along and have fun for long time to come smile

Rule #1: Keep to Gaia TOS...
The most used rule of all roleplays and a sensible one. Unfortunately this is still needed to be added, since many people seem to think Gaia won't notice if they go out of this ToS, trust me, they do. Part of this is of course that PG-13 is encouraged, however I am willing to allow it to PG-16. Since it really doesn't make much difference. And Harvest Moon is a series about romance mostly.

Rule #2: Do not pass PG-16...
I can't impose on this enough. This means yes romance is encouraged but keep it neat to read. Sexual moments are to be skipped. When clothes come off, timeskip, we do not need to see this and do NOT take it to PM, that is not allowed either. Sorry Gaia rules.

Rule #3: No Godmodding/Powerplaying/Puppeteering...
Unfortunately I still see this happen a lot. You do ONLY control your OWN character. You can not read the mind of your fellow roleplayer so do NOT play for them. When fights break out, be sure to keep it fair OoC wise. Take some hits and don't say any of your hits land, again you only control your own character. Thought this is mostly applied to the two magic users, I am sure the bar will have it's fights, and what about jealous lovers or the like? Just keep the fight fair for your fellow roleplayer.

Rule #4: Absolutely not ANY form of discrimination!!!...
I will not tolerate any, be it color, sexual, age, gender, religion anything. We will NOT discriminate anyone. I personally am a Demisexual so maybe I am prejudiced to make a deal out of this rule, but no one likes to be called out on their personal life. This RP allows girlXgirl, maleXmale as well as girlXmale. If you can't deal with that, then it might be wise to turn back now. Same goes for grammar, don't go drama grammar nazi llama on people. There are those that love to RP but are dyslectic. Leave them in their worth, please. No one likes a grammar nazi.

Rule #5: Keep OoC to a minimum in the roleplay forums...
There will be an OoC for this, please keep OoC to there, unless it is something quick needed to know during RPing with someone in which case you can put the OoC between brackets or separate line above or below your post. But don't go random chattering in roleplay threads and forums, there will be the OC forum.

Rule #6: Literacy/Posting
As I mentioned before there will be no need to post chapters here to roleplay. I do ask a minimum of a good paragraph that has enough in it's contents to allow others to reply to you. Of course you CAN post as much as you want, but one paragraph of at least 5 lines is the bare minimum. Also be sure to use punctuation. I don't care about grammar spelling, but I, for one, really do not want to read a whole post without dots or commas and capital letters. This is just most of the time unreadable. Also do not let your fellow roleplayers wait to long or you will get them stuck and in turn the roleplay as well. If you have to go for a long period of time, leave a message in the designated thread in the main forum and move your character out of the roleplay till you are back.
If you don't post for more than three days without giving us a warning, you will be removed.
