1) No One-Liners: Just as it sounds, we do not want to see any one sentence RP posts. At minimum, one paragraph (5 sentences). We're not asking for a 2 page essay, just a little bit of effort put into your post.

2) No metagaming or godmodding:

Metagaming: When information outside of what is available in a game is used to give a player an advantage in-game.
- EXAMPLE: if an individual is to tell you on the RMB that they will invade your, and did not distinguish it as an RP post, you can not
Godmodding: Controlling another person's character or nation OR wording your RP response in such a way as to not allow the other person to respond of their own free will
- EXAMPLE: Player A: Punches Player B
Player B: Dodges attack, grabs Player A and throws him. Player A flies away from Player B, who warps behind him and slashes Player A in the back, killing them

3) Tag your posts as ICRP or OORP: While the RMB will be mainly used to Role-Play, there will be other conversations and such on it. Due to this, IT WILL BE ASSUMED that unless otherwise denoted, any post that is not labeled as ICRP (In Character Role-Play) or follows the RP format (which is usually DATE - TIME (if applicable) - LOCATION - *RP text below this header*) is OORP (Out-Of-Role-Play).

4) Be realistic: While RPs do give the participants ALOT of flexibility, there still must be a level of realism, even if the RP is in Sci-Fi territory. You can't m

5) RMB Etiquette:

- Be Respectful
- Keep OORP out of ICRP
- If your RP post is aimed towards specific people, TAG THEM so they can see it
- If you've got a 3 page essay as your RP post, please spoiler it. You can spoiler your text by doing as follows

[spoiler=RP Post!!!]*Insert RP post here*[/spoiler]

So the final product might look like this...

6) RP Events: Moderators may introduce global events such as pandemics, natural disasters, a refugee crisis from an NPC country to spice up the RP experience.

7) Nukes/World Ending Weaponry: At some point, an RP may fall into chaos or disarray, or the RPers might be tired of it. As was custom in Ye Olde Wintercrest, there'd usually be some type of collapse and all hell broke loose, nukes flew, end of the world and all civilization.

That's fine. Hey, the RP has ended, it was fun, only the Penguin Reich lived to tell the tale (IYKYK)

In all other circumstances besides testing, the use of world ending weaponry is heavily restricted and permissible use may be granted through the RP Mods. So no, you can't throw a thousand nukes at another player because they said no to your trade deal.

Besides, MAD, nuclear winter and all that fun stuff...
