To follow is the list of common role-play rules that every role-player should understand and follow.
Do Not God-mod or powerplay
Powerplaying or godmodding occurs when a player operates someone else's character without the other player's consent. It's also considered godmodding to refuse death in fights or ignore role-players in scenarios in which said role-players are attempting to attack you. Nobody's good at everything; try and keep yourself in check.
Do Not Overpower Yourself or Others
Being "overpowered" is more or less what it sounds like: giving something or someone an unreasonable, unfair, unrealistic, or unbalanced amount of power, especially when it interferes with the ability of players around you to have fun.
Do Not Metagame
Metagaming is when a player applies OOC-retrieved information to their IC character, such as participating in a war that you only saw was stated to be happening on a clan's thread on the forums, or hearing whispering because you saw the text, and knowing a character's name because you saw their username. This is the most commonly broken rule of role-play and most infuriating for many.
Do Not Auto
Autohitting is when a player performs an action without giving the affected players a chance to respond. For example, running up to somebody and saying *Stabs in the heart* then running off would be autohitting.
Do Not Play Mary-Sues
A character who’s too perfect, lacking realistic or logical flaws, or whose flaws do not affect them in real ways. Nobody's perfect.
LAIKA OF GS!
