Manifesto PBW Ethics

[Prophet-PBW]

I agree with Hornet's list.

But it does come down to each player running a game setting the ground rules at the beginning. I think that is important. A pain in the butt... but important.

If you are going to join a game, follow a 'Buyer Beware' policy. In addition to Hornet's ideas, don't be afraid to just ask questions in the game forum. Perhaps the admin has his/her own Assumed Rules. Or they just forgot to address certain questions.

It is much better to flesh this stuff out as early as possible.

[Prophet-PBW]

Oh, and there is one other rule to keep in mind:

Game Owner's word is final. In the end, it is their game.

I am not advocating a tyrant admin. I hate it when owners act like lord over all, proclaiming answers without discussion. A more democratic process, where debate and maybe voting are used by the owner, is much more enjoyable. But it's like driving: drivers are asked to be courteous, but not required by law.
