Rule 3 should be expanded upon or have rule 3a

Rule 3a:
Don't make god units.
You characters are generally not invincible, feel free to do all the badass moves you want, but when someone says:

"Livingstone falls hard on his back but leans up and fires several rounds into Jacksons left leg"

Please for the love of god don't say

"But Jackson dodges"

Or worse

"But they ping off, because Jackson is actually a Cyborg king"

Which later progresses into

"Jackson transforms into the almighty doom dragon which can eat worlds."

Unless that's what he's SUPPOSED TO DO and everyone KNOWS that he's SUPPOSED to do that. Never. Ever do that.

Rule 17:
d0n'7 ph34r t3h r34p3r.

I mean this, many RPs my character wasn't killed by another person, I killed him myself, and the RP suddenly got a whole lot deeper because everyone was actually rather attached to the fellow.

Rule xx: Don't join an RP if you can't commit to it. People have expectations of you as a RPer. If you can't make it, then you're letting everyone else down.

This post has now been elevated to Announcement status.

Ironic, considering the last poster.

19; Whilst the GM has the final say in character vs NPC encounters, the player has the final say in character vs character encounters. This means that, if the other player does not agree with the actions/has not agreed to the outcome/or even specific details of the situation, then they can ask that the offending post be deleted.

Hey guys... im new around here initially posted my first space ship design a few hours ago. I then noticed you guys have an RP area. This made me very very happy.

Any ways I didn't see a introduce your self section so I thought id do it here and, and ask at the same time how I could best get my self involved in here, and if their are any realism rules? such as population and so on. I have prior experience in RPing both in Nationstates both MT/FT communities,and I also RP in SMS a branch off from Nationstates.

Im well adversed in the rules of RPing and i have just read the ones you have provided here.

So once again id like to say hi
