16.) Research.
17.) Show, don't tell.
18.) Be descriptive.

21.) Don't txt-tlk.
22.) Be concise.
23.) Don't fall in love with your own character.

26.) Spell check.

28.) Read over your work.
29.) Re read over your work.
30.) Separate IC and OOC.
31.) If your character dies, take the opportunity to learn.
32.) Read as much as you write.
33.) Don't try to take over someone elses RP
34.) Don't argue with the RP master, this may get you banned from the RP
35.) Don't control other characters without permission.
36.) Just because your the RP master, doesn't give you the right to control everybody's characters whenever, let the players post there characters actions, it can be more fun like that.
37.) Pay attention to the RP specific rules.
38.) Read the first post, it often has who is playing, information about characters and a form to fill in to join
39.) Act maturely, don't say type in dumb actions, like *has sex*.
40.) Don't make a Mary-Stu/Gary-Stu (An around perfect person with no flaws). It's boring if the character doesn't any flaws what so ever.
41.) If you are going to have a god-mod like power in your character, balance it with a flaw (a example would the character has extremely powerful magic though he/she can rarely use it and nearly every attempt to cast ends in failure)
42.) Keep a realistic inventory. If you're character is an Assassin-esque style, don't give them a two-handed axe...
43.) Don't try to force a history on another person's character.
44.) Don't contradict things in your profile (EX: Your character lost his/her arm in X war, he/she should not dual wield).
