I've noticed lately that I let myself slip into ooc flaming from ic situations mutch too often for my own liking. For this I would like to sincerely apologize. I do try to be a constructive and positive participant in the threads I engage in, but perhaps sometimes I let frustration get the better of me. Well, no more! I do declare this day that from here on in I will do my utmost to be a shining example of etiquette, high quality roleplaying, and supportive out-of-character fraternity with my fellow gamers. I will not bitch, moan, whine, or flame. I will be a true roleplayer in all the meaning that this title suggests. This is my oath to you, my brothers and sisters in roleplaying, and I will hold to it. Will you join me in this, my friends? Will you take this oath of mine, and help make the NS forums a more fun and positive place to play? I do hope that you will join me in this noble endevour, and help me develop a new sense of partnership amongst the roleplayers of NS. Let us join together in a new kind of pact, The True Roleplayers' Pact!

It's a nice enough idea in many respects, though I can't help but feel that I don't really need to sign a list/agreement when it comes to my roleplaying quality because I've always worked against the mixing of OOC and IC knowledge and I'm not really the type of poster to flame (what with well constucted arguements in opposition being much more effective in anycase).

*shrugs*

That said I'm not perfect and I should strive to become a better RPer, or at least put more effort into In Character threads then I do currently... I'm behind on too much crap, though at least my NDA crap isn't too hard to keep up with, what with everyone else taking their time too. :p

Nice idea, sorry if I'm a bit arrogant at times, add me to the list, if only to show my willing to support the idea.

I certainly don't bitch or whine. However, sometimes when people do ridiclious things or are like this :headbang: then I would get quite annoyed. I do have a temper with these kinds of people, like Vineyard in Earth V and people like that who refuse to accept any logic or are like stonewalls, refusing to accept loss or go like "I am always right! You are always wrong!" even though it's obvious they are wrong.

I will try to not to lose my temper with these n00berts and "I must win!" guys.

I will not bitch, moan, whine, or flame. I will be a true roleplayer in all the meaning that this title suggests. This is my oath to you, my brothers and sisters in roleplaying, and I will hold to it.

OOC: I don't see why not, i follow that anyway, so it won't hurt

Oh, add something about using too many smilies [/Sarcasm]

I do declare this day that from here on in I will do my utmost to be a shining example of etiquette, high quality roleplaying, and supportive out-of-character fraternity with my fellow gamers. I will not bitch, moan, whine, or flame. I will be a true roleplayer in all the meaning that this title suggests. This is my oath to you, my brothers and sisters in roleplaying, and I will hold to it.

ooc: No problem. I follow this every time I post (in IC :p )
