#1 Moderation:
Having an over-powering character that can do anything does not get you anywhere. It is unfair and annoying to those who wish to play properly; it also ruins the game for everyone else. Having a well-balanced character is what people want.
#2 Grammar:
Use proper grammar and punctuation. Without it things just start looking like a mess, and hard to decipher.
#3 Leet must die:
Avoid the use of leet or other internet speak which includes the use of y, u, k, etc(spell things out- y=why, =you, k=okay, ect). Use full sentences and proper sentence structure. You can have an accent, but make sure you stick to it. Also avoid the use of asterisk to signify actions. Use full sentences to display your actions instead.
#4 Plan your entrance:
Time your entrance as best you can. Avoid entering in the middle of something.
#5 Let yourself be remembered:
Remember to include your name often instead of he or I as it can be difficult for latecomers to know who you are without referring constantly back to the character bios.
#6 Be unique:
Go outside the barriers (within reason). You are not required to stick to the standards, just don't go too far with it..
#7 SPAM:
Don't spam, that includes making lots of single line posts rather than editing your original post. This is the same as the normal rules of the forum.
#8 Godmodding:
Godmodding is where you control other characters without their permission. This is frowned upon for obvious reasons as it is annoying and unsporting. Never do this unless you are given permission to do so by the roleplay character's controller's permission.
#9 Autohitting:
Continuously attacking another character without giving them a chance to defend themselves. This again is unsporting and more than a little annoying. Just simply do not do it.
#10 Be interesting in your bio(character skeleton):
Just like in real-life with a resume; short, vague and not very detailed is not the way to go. A two-line bio makes for a very boring read. Be creative and interesting, delve deep into your imagination and create something worthwhile to read (though don't be too long). Try to use sentences to answer all of the character skeleton categories to give a more interesting theme to the biography (try not to use commas to separate all the things he or she likes or hates...ect).
