-A note from our Captain-
No one likes rules.
I know I don't at least. And so to keep things fairly rules-lite over here, we only have four simple tenants to follow. If you keep in line with these, then there should never be a problem.
1. The Rule of Courtesy
Role play works off of a basic mechanic. That your fellow role players won't be jerks. Nobody wants that. I'm not saying your characters all have to be goody-two shoes, but that you as a roleplayer should be courteous. To strip this down to it's basics, these are some examples of breaking the rule of courtesy.
-Auto-hitting another player.
-Directing another players actions.
-Never allowing your character to face any hardship/injury.
-Belittling your companion's actions or character.
2. The Rule of Content
This is less of a rule more of a way to explain how new-content works. We want your help in making this story! You're part of the world here and you should help shape it. So I fully endorse making new topics, factions, etc. If you need help doing so, feel free to ask any crew member that can help you. But there are a few things that we want to stick around. Just basics of the world that shouldn't change.
-No new races without permission. If you are granted permission, be ready to fill out a information sheet about them in the Guild Archive.
-No overly-advanced technology (We've been very clear about what sort of world this is, if you have questions about the limits talk to the Captain or a VC. )
3. The Rule of Fun
"But you can't regulate fun!"
I know. And I don't plan to.
This is by far the most simple rule, yet often the most forgotten. We're all here to have fun. That's it. Have a good time, and don't stop others from having a good time.. Unless it violates one of the other rules, then report it to a Crew Member.
4. Respect the ToS
I know this one is obvious, but it requires saying again. Gaia has it's own rules that we each have to abide. Please respect the guild by respecting Gaia.
So to sum it up, Please copy these statements below to show that you have read the above.
* I will be courteous.
* I will add to the story.
* I will have fun.
* I will respect the ToS
And that's that! Go make a character and get started!
