Accepted. Major information: We have activity checks every once in awhile. We have one right now but you don't need to do it. Starting June 1st, we will be in “hibernation” period. There will be no activity checks and you will not have to be active at all. It'll end when school starts. This is our website (made by me): https://aags2.w3spaces.com . It contains a lot of things you might need, such as the rules. I will also invite you to the studio and art studio. Right now you don't have a lead but we are trying to figure that out. The only staff members are me and moigam (the owner) so if you need help with something or have any questions feel free to ask us. I am online 8am-4pm (sometimes later such as right now) from monday to friday (sometimes during the weekend as well) so your best shot of getting an answer for something is from me.

The game idea on the studio. It's a project made by @CRAZYTVSTU . Not only that but it is also on the website. Maybe check out the links and “explore” before asking so many questions. *Please* read the rules before doing anything as you might accidentally break one and get yourself a warning.

EVERYONE EVEN RELATED TO AAGS, READ ALL OF THIS. ALL. OF. IT

Alright y'all. There are now 15+ people in this game studio. There are only 2 staff members. Me and moigam. Moigam is barely active and I don't blame him, he doesn't have to be. I am active as much as possible and even then I have trouble keeping up and managing all of you. You guys need to be the best you can. What I mean by that is you need to listen to everything you're told, and use your resources to answer questions you might have. Example: “What's the game idea”. Use the resources I gave you such as the studio and our website to figure it out! Obviously if you have questions that are not answered anywhere that says AAGS, you can ask me. Also if you see this right now, good job you are already being the best you can by reading everything. I am going to emphasize everything I've seen people questioning and confused about as well as other things some people might get confused by. Everyone needs to pay attention to it, even if you think you already know it. No matter how much of a veteran you are in this game studio, this applies to you.

1. To start there is a simple “food chain” in the roles. There are members, leads, and staff. Members are at the bottom, then leads in the middle, and staff at the top. You always listen to whoever is above you in the chain. No questions asked. Not listening is against the rules, as well as complaining, arguing, or just being annoying to staff in general.

2. Major information sources. Our game studio is fortunate to have a lot of nice sources of info easily accessible. The studio description by itself contains a TON of information. The website contains links to more information such as rules and the game idea as well as the roles list (outdated).
The website: https://aags2.w3spaces.com/
You don't need the link to the studio as you are already in it.

3. Commonly broken rules. There are a couple of commonly broken rules that are awfully annoying to me. And no, surprisingly the snipping rule isn't among the commonly broken rules. Instead they are these:
Rule 1. “You must stay in your role. Meaning you cannot do anything outside of your role. Such as if you were an artist and start making music or something.”
Rule 13. “Do not create anything before asking your lead. You can also ask a staff member if your lead isn't online. This is so everyone can create things actually helpful. Now this can be very broad so I will narrow it down. You are allowed to make changes to someone else's (or your own) creation(s). You are not allowed to make completely new creations (without permission from lead/staff)” (this rule can be bent a little because of our current lack of leads situation).

4. Disappearing without a trace. This varies quite a bit and it depends on the case but PLEASE tell a staff member if you know you are going to miss a activity check. Obviously some activity checks can come out of nowhere but it's rare.

5. Don't lie about your skill. You know how good you actually are. I am not going to name names but some of you claim to have some high number out of 10 in skill, but actually suck at what you do. And I'm not trying to be rude and I get you just wanna have fun and make something but at least admit you aren't as good as you say. And actually try to improve.

6. Don't ask for roles that you know you can't do. This is self explanatory and similar to #5. Just don't try to get a 2nd role just because you see other people “having fun” or doing something you believe to be more enjoyable. You will get your time soon enough, be patient.

7. Be patient. Don't start spamming or something because I haven't answered something after 2 seconds. I am quick but not that quick.

8. Don't try to take control. What I mean is just don't try and start trying to run everything yourself. Don't make random alt studios, ideas, roles, etc. It's annoying and inconvenient if someone is trying to find helpful information. Now there are exceptions. If you make something genuinely helpful and contains a heck ton of information that you believe to be helpful for the studio, send it to me or ask me if you can use it! Just don't try to start anything yourself. It's not because I don't trust you, it's because of what I said literally a sentence ago.

9. Try and stick to topic on the forums. Now I admit I talk random in the forum too. But there is a certain extent to it. Don't do it an unnecessary amount. Like don't have full on convo's in the forum.

10. Act like this is a real, full fetched job. You should be anyways. The only way to make perfection is to embrace the working ways. Now I know like 90% of y'all can't even work anyways but just act like you did and this was your job. You should treat this as if it was. Do that and you'll seriously impress me.

Extra: From now on every week I will make an announcement announcing the member of the week (MOTW). Doesn't do anything in particular but it's cool I guess. Also when I say every week, I mean every week not in hibernation period.

More information:
Activity checks
An activity check is a post made by a staff member in which members need to reply to get marked as active. Each activity check will have a deadline and if you fail to reply to the message before that deadline, you get booted. Now, 1 day after the activity check is posted, whoever posted it will notify everyone in the studio who is not marked off on their profile telling them about it.

Hibernation Period
Hibernation period is the period in which there will be 0 activity checks and no one is expected to work. It starts on June 1st and ends when school starts again. During hibernation period the rules will be “frozen” and you can in theory break them BUT, when hibernation ends and staff are back if they figure out you broke any rules, you will be “charged” with them. Anything major will result in an immediate removal without notice.
