Game Decency

A player of an online text based role-playing game of the sort we play has a responsibility, to make the game playable for all the players of the game.
This means that the players of the game need to work together, even if this means telling the other players their plans, and in so ruining the surprise. Other players once agreeing to help a player to do what they would like to in game, should out of decency and game-play help the player do what they agreed upon, and not hold up that person's game play.

Game decency, means that each player follows the written and unwritten rules of game play which means that they RESPECT the other players and if agreeing upon a plan stick to it, this does not mean that we lose all the surprises in the game, (all the fun) as long as the surprise, say come at the end of the plan, and does not harm the other players because they agreed to the plan. For example the planers character, which the plan was to his benefit, suddenly is killed, in a way that does not harm the other players.

Game decency also includes playing with other players, which makes this a multi-player game and not a one-player. This means that in an unplanned situation, another player suddenly appears and "crashes the party" they except it and follow the new path, of course they can also ask the player to delete his post (That day or the following…, next time they are online, not weeks, or months later). But this also means that if it is clear that a player is aiming for a certain direction, you don't "crash the party".

Game playing, is all about Game Decency, which is more important then the reality of the game or anything else, if one scene takes a long time because their players are not online often, and yet others are fast-paced and days or even weeks ahead game-time for the playability of the game we let them slide.

For a while in the game, some of thought that trying to make the game "real" is important, and it is, we will not have vampires and supermen in the game, but even more important, is having a playable game, and this is dependent upon Game decency.
