Important announcement to everyone: There are standards I expect, even in a casual roleplay. This is one of the few things I will be completely draconian about; don't follow these, and you might not be long for the RP:
One: Basic SPaG. If my spellcheck can trip anything, then yours should too. Please use spellcheck, even if it's just a quick copy-paste into a word document. I also expect punctuation and grammar to be generally correct. If you forget to close a ' " ', that's perfectly fine, if you don't punctuate whole paragraphs, we're gonna have issues. Grammar too.
Two: Clear understanding. If your message is garbled, or it's difficult to interpret, I will ask (as nicely as possible I might add,) for it to perhaps be revised so that it can be properly read by others. This is a personal pet peeve, I must say, so please don't do it.
Three: For the love of god; DON'T GODMOD. I know I should have written up some rules, but all of the basics you see everywhere apply here. This is the most important. If you need permission to mess with someone's character, ask them either in OC or in PM. If they're fine with it, add a tag like this: <Godmod approved by [The Person Who Gave You Permission]>. If someone tells me they didn't give permission...
These are the ones that I don't judge so harshly, but make life easier:
One: Please tag anyone you want to talk to. It makes everything less painful and means that people always know if they're being referred too. Note that I will strive to tag you all in important posts, if I forget one or two of you, feel free to completely roast me for it :P.
Two: If you don't understand, ASK ME OR A CO-GM. I know I don't actually have a Co yet, I want to get a feel for how you guys tick, but when I do get one, ask them anything you don't understand. The last thing we need is massive continuity fuckups and complete misinformation spreading because you didn't get something.
