1. Follow the rules for the forum(obviously...it really shouldn't have to be said, but I will just for the hell of it).
2. You can be silly, just make sure it goes in line with what everyone is talking about at that moment. Don't go from Space Marines committing suicide to suddenly talking about ninja turtles making pasta randomly, unless the previous subject is dead/done.
3. Make it fun for everyone. Just because you like a certain subject doesn't mean you should keep bringing it up, it'll start to get boring. also, if you hate something, don't kill it off suddenly, others may like it, so don't kill everyone's fun based on a personal preference.
4. You only get 5 words. Numbers count as words. the number 4 and 357294857349589467985 are both one word. words with a hyphen are one word, but they have to be believable. "then-he" is an example of one that isn't a word you can use but "las-cannon" is.
5. Don't post too much on a given page. Try to limit yourself to 3 posts a page if possible. Also make sure you are the last person to post so you don't get ninja'd and make the story all confusing.
6. Have fun, because this topic is the only awesome thing you'll do in your lifetime.
7. Please don't bring up members of the forum over the course of the story anymore, all of those jokes have already been done to death. Try and stick to fictional characters from games or movies or wherever.
8. Please make some attempt to use punctuation, or acknowledge that used by others, so we don't have never ending quotes of one person talking, or someone following up a sentence the previous person ended.

Comparing tournament records is another form of e-peen measuring.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.
