1. No God Modding. Don't think for, speak for, move, hurt, or do anything that controls another character. Killing without permission is TOTALLY out. If there is an RP with a fight or something else that requires your character to physically interact with another character, discuss it in A Word Aside to get their permission.
2. Keep RP and RL separate. If Mal yells at Simon, it's not Beth yelling at whoever is playing Simon, it's Mal yelling at Simon. This may sound obvious, but I've known RL tiffs to happen because of RP. Which is silly.
3. Along the same lines, don't bring your RL into RP. If Zoe's player is fighting with River's player, they've got to be able to put it aside in RP. We can't just have Zoe randomly take out a knife and stab River. Take care of your issues in private. If necessary, contact an admin.
4. Be nice. Some people are new to this, some people don't write all the time. Use the Golden Rule and lead by example.
5. That said, do write your best. If you aren't sure how a word is spelled, just spell check it. It makes you look better and makes things easier to read. Everyone makes mistakes, but a little effort is appreciated by all the players.
6. Everything should be written in the third person limited. That means when Mal posts the posts aren't gonna say "I remembered the day I first set eyes on Serenity." Rather it would say "Mal remembered the day he first set eyes on Serenity."
7. Icons must be 100x100. Signatures may be no more than four lines of text. No pictures in signatures, please. If you need a picture cropped for an icon, PM me and I'll do it for you
