1. I will maintain the illusion of the game by
staying in character whenever possible. I will withhold out of
character comments until absolutely necessary and even then I will
speak within the appropriate threads.

2. If I discuss the game with other players out of character, I will
not allow my character to be influenced by this knowledge without
express permission of the other players. I will take the time to allow
my character to learn these things on his or her own during the course
of the game.

3. I will separate myself as a player from my character as much as
possible. While I understand that a lot of myself goes into my
character and because the game is so very intense often real emotions
will be drawn from me as a player, I also understand that my character
is not me.

4. If I am not in the mood to play, I won't interrupt other people's
games by coming into it out of character. I will find others who are
not in character and converse in an OOC section meant for out of
character discussion.

5. I will not use my character as a vehicle for racism or bigotry. I
will not use my character to promote child pornography or bestiality.
I, as a player, understand that there is no room in the real world for
such things and will, to the best of my ability, not let it seep into
the virtual world as well.

6. If I, as a player, feel that my character has been treated unfairly
or that another character has overstepped the bounds of their
abilities, I will approach the other character's player or administrator privately and
discuss the situation in a calm adult manner and try to come to a
resolution or compromise.

7. I will accept the hand that is dealt me in the game, understanding
that it is a game and it's not about winning or losing, but about
playing.

8. I will not allow setbacks in the game to be blown out of proportion.
If I am overly emotional about what is happening, I will step back and
not play until I can compose myself.

9. I will not carry grudges
against fellow players out of character. My character might not like
another character, but again, I am an adult and understand that they
are 'characters' and not the player that portrays them.

10. If I find that I simply can not get along with another player, I
will avoid playing with them. But I will do so in a way that does not
draw attention to this and I will not badmouth or otherwise slander the
other player out of character as such actions only makes myself look
bad.

11. If my character is constantly losing I will obviously be angry, but
I will also view the situation as an opportunity for me to grow as a
player. By starting anew with a fresh character, I will be able to
leave all the negatives of that character behind - any grudges,
dislikes or just plain bad habits- and take away the good, thus making
my next character even better and more interesting.

12. I, as a player, will keep an open mind and allow people to play
their characters the way their imagination leads them regardless if
their interpretation matches that of some book, creed...or guideline.
