The rpg forum is a happy place for folks to have fun and all that :3 We don't have many rules at all, really. But there are some basic things you should know. If you haven't already, take the time to read the rules:

REMINDERS
These are only tips! They don't always apply but we've had some issues of late and the Shichibukai have all chipped in with some of these reminders...

Extra handles/names: If you want to use handles you have on your main to play other characters (like Els has Sanji and Kenji, etc) that's great! That's what those extras are for. To have fun with. Remember the admins can see your IP address too, though, and if you abuse your extra accounts we know who is who.

Remember to check the Lab for the "Claimed List" or the RPG Tips and Bios link above to see who is claimed by what person. And especially if they're married, etc...it'd be awkward if you hit on someone's signifigant other, let alone someone else's "husband" or "wife"! image

Try to keep other player's characters in character! If you don't know what they would say, don't have them say anything ^^ And it's only polite to back off, say, in certain situations. Like if someone's playing their character as irritable and once you've tried to make peace once and it didn't work? Don't keep trying 5 more times unless we're going for a gag effect, etc. (rofl) More likely than not the person is heading someplace with the "irritable" character. They have a reason for wanting their person to act that way.

Try to modify other's ideas, not "steal" them. If someone says they found a rare gem that has a certain effect on their character in rpg, don't constantly nab those ideas. "Oh, this exact same thing also happened to my character!" If you like the idea you can modify it in some way - but immediately taking the other person's well-thought out concept and using it as your own may sour the other a bit. They wanted something original after all, and came up with it on their own.
