In the Land of no rules, we ought to be allowed to make some personal rules even tho nobody has to follow them. So for future reference - here they should be added as they come to You. I shall start with some examples. They are not my rules (as u all know I am even too mellow and easy going), they are examples I came across during 4years+ of OBE history. |

No falling in LOVE in the guild. I guess u are thinking "Omg that is the cruelest thing I ever heard! We come to this Garden of Eden, and suddenly we can't taste its forbidden fruit of wisdom and joy??" Fruits are there to be tasted and loved by all means But once u taste the fruit, and for some reasons it don't work anymore and u don't wish to nibble anymore, nothing gives u the right to split the guild, deprive us of u, or the other person, just because now u 2(3~)cannot take each other anymore :S! So yes taste and nibble all u like, but be strong enough to stay friends, even after your butterflies have passed. |

Sensitive topics like Rape jokes, gay jokes, Racism jokes or MJ should be kept from guild announcements! If they do however go on in guild/local/alliance chats, we must be sure we are not making anyone feeling terribly uncomfortable, and 1 must be able to throw a Wild Card at anytime - "Please I feel very strongly about this issue, and if we continue this argument I will get very upset, and HELL may break loose!". If a person throws a wild card, its time for yellow duct tapes, all should exit the crime scene, and continue having fun elsewhere with something else to keep them entertained. Remember, your neighbour may have suffered from discrimination or rape or bad music in ways that you hadn't realised were possible, so what you think of as 'just fun' could hurt them a lot, so please be sensitive if someone objects because they're sensitive themselves. It is certainly possible that humour can be used to address serious subjects in a meaningful and positive way, but done improperly it can seem insulting, or cause overwhelming memories of past hurts.

CAPSLOCK spam or general rebelling without a cause should be used wisely. Some of us view CAPSLOCK as way to get attention. But like the boy that cried wolf, using it too much will cause people not to pay attention to you any more, and perhaps even consider putting you on their Ignore List. We would like to think that others online do pay you attention if they see your chat, without you needing the emphasis of capitalisation or very long lines of !!!!!! and so on. Remember that not everyone whose status says online really is though, and if they don't have that sword hilt you were asking about they don't really all have to say so just to make you feel they were listening while they're trying to battle evil in some far away land.

I partially Agree on the rules, though I think that the love things... Well,my bf is in the guild so, though he joined after the falling in love thing, guess that's different thenXD But I personally think that love just happens and you can't really prevent it from happening and yesh, it can go wrong ofcourse and then it might be hard to continue like it was before, but from personal experience I can say that things can be kept from the guild chat and just be settled in private, sure if you don't want to talk to someone then just be quiet, but I think in guild chat we should at least try to act normal to each other. if you want to scream and cry and hate that person then do that in the whisp lol^^ Further I think an important rule should be, it's okay to have your own opinion, but don't force it on others and respect other people's opinions as well^^ |

“Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over.” But true love is accepting someone as they are, with all their faults. "Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it.” I'm not sure whether I really believe anyone can stop being in love, I think that perhaps they were mistaken about it being real love if they think that. We can all mistake the real thing for being besotted, or in love with the idea of love, or seeing only certain aspects of the person they fall for and not the whole, or you only see what pleasure you get from them and not what pleasure you can give to them. But if you truly love someone you see past their faults and mistakes, you want them to be happy, you can't give up caring about them. |

But once u taste the fruit, and for some reasons it don't work anymore and u don't wish to nibble anymore, nothing gives u the right to split the guild, deprive us of u, or the other person, just because now u 2(3~)cannot take each other anymore :S! So yes taste and nibble all u like, but be strong enough to stay friends, even after your butterflies have passed.
