Just a reminder to our wonderful RP community;
RP is a collaboration and even between enemies should be constructive
So here are my 10 Commandments of RP
[spoiler]Now before you start trying to call me out for telling you what to do, know that I really don't care how you treat RP with other DM's, other DM's have their own way of doing things, for example Toaster and Polychephalon do not run RP in the same way but if you want to have a good time on one of my RP adventures, (for as long as they last- I know I get busy and take a lot of time to respond) follow these rules[/spoiler]
1. Thou shalt aquaint thyself with the DM before thou beginst an attack. If thou art known to the DM, thou shall play a better role in the RP
2. Thou shalt be respectful to fellow Roleplayers
3. Thou shalt never forget to upvote the reply if the RP is fly. Signal thine agreement in thy fellow Roleplayer/ or DM's actions with the upvote button. Signal disagreement with the downvote button.
4. Thou shalt not disobey the rules of the DM.
5. Thou shalt not assume thy importance in the face of the DM
6. Thou shalt collaborate and keep thy OOC comments in the Spoiler
7. Thou shalt not God-mod, all God-modders shall be humiliated.
8. Thou shalt not attempt to alter the Lore of others, this is thy most heinous act.
9. Thou shalt not Kill a fellow Roleplayer, without their consent
10. Thou shalt befriend, guide and teach new Roleplayers and report all issues to the DM

11. The Scripture of Aifos:
[quote][i]"If possible, thou should’st make a character sheet, with set powers & limitations, and follow its general guidelines, and then send it to the DM."[/i][/quote]
[i][b]The letter from DM Speaker to Lord_Spook[/b][/i]
Brothah, the 5th commandment states that thou shalt not assume thy importance in the face of the DM, any roleplayer/DM who participates in a freeform RP must submit to the authority of the DM who is "God" in any respective RP or campaign in any offline ttrpg; therefore, even the universe spanning polycephalon cannot claim to be more powerful than a Toaster in one Toaster's RP's: he must willingly bring down his power level, or participate with one of his heads. This is supported in the scripture of Aifos, that the player [i]should[/i] if they have time, create a free form character sheet and send it to the DM of the roleplay, so that the DM can say "you are too powerful". Brother, I tell you these things not to chide you, but to help us grow your kinship in this community so that all may enjoy yours, and the RP's of others, I leave you to ponder 6th commandment as well, for it is a powerful one and a uniting idea of our roleplay.- I have Spoken.
