Rules
Yes, perhaps the most dreaded part of the guild. The rules.
Try to get along! I know that people WILL disagree... but if you have to argue, do it outside of the guild! And please refrain from harassment...No power playing! I mean it! If you die, you die. (Don't worry- you'll probably be brought back to life within a few minutes...)No piloting! For those of you who don't know what piloting is... it's typing a long RP where you control someone else's character. If you must do this, ASK who you intend to pilot! If the person agrees to allow you to pilot their character, tell them what you're going to type, so that the person can tell you how their character would react- so you could be accurate, rather than being completely OOC. (This happened to me once... someone I didn't even know piloted my character- and my character WOULD NOT have reacted the way he staged it!)If someone blocks your "unblockable" move, don't halt the game to argue! If you must, private the person! Do you know how irritating it is to be really getting into an RP, just for someone to type "hey!!!!! u cant block that!!!!!!!1"? Really, if you can't calm down and just allow that one block to pass, I don't know WHY you're RPing- stuff like this happens. If someone blocks an "unblockable", just put out a short OOC message saying that, for future reference, that move is unblockable. Okay? Okay.
No Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus! I know how hard it is to NOT make a perfect character... but just try! I mean, really... what would be more exciting to RP? A band of dwarves traveling through the Eastern Woods and getting out unscathed because they, by some genetic oddity, are all able to step oh-so-lightly, or a band of dwarves being jumped by the Elves that live in the Eastern Woods, where a major battle ensues? The latter? Thought so.
