Role Playing Guidelines Act

[Mr. Durandal]

Alright. In this growing RP world, we need to have a complete list of rules for the board. Like a "Role Playing Guidelines Act" that we put into the constitution so newbies and oldies alike can learn the rules. I would like people to post rules that they believe should be included into the RP Act.

So I have decided to give us a starting place... on the main things I can think of at the moment.
