Role Players Creed
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 whisper them to other players.
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 their 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, real emotions will often 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 go somewhere 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, rape scenes, 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 privately, and discuss the situation in a calm, adult manner and try to come to a resolution or compromise. If the compromise cannot be accomplished with the other player, then I will go to a gold so they may help moderate the situation.
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. Not everyone can be right all the time, just as nobody cares about what drama I bring into the room. This is a game, and we all play to relieve stress. Not to add more to our plates.
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. This also ties in with Rule Seven above.
9. I will not carry grudges against fellow players. 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. Just like in the real world, there will always be people we don't get along with, so I will do my best to avoid, or otherwise ignore 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 speak badly, start drama with, or otherwise slander the other person, as such actions only makes myself look bad, and may result in a warning from a host.
11. If my character is killed, I will obviously grieve for the loss, but I will also view the situation as an opportunity for me to grow as a player. By starting anew with a fresh identity, 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 for myself, and for the other players to enjoy.
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, video game, cartoon series, or comic representation. I will recognize that to call them out on such things in the room will result in a warning, or even a kicking from the room I am in.
