Not necessarily sure if it's a good idea to make this a vote since I don't have any specific ideas myself, but I'm doing it anyways:

After roleplay was legalized, I began to wonder how (or if) roleplay would be "governed" at all on the wiki. I talked with G-man about the possibility of creating a new organization resembling the Roleplay Council that we all hated so much. As I expected, he promptly rejected the idea and said that roleplay would be governed under "collectivist" rules as it was before the Roleplay Council existed. This would basically mean that if the majority decided to shun a person for not playing the way they like.

First and foremost, we still have a list of formal roleplay rules from the Roleplay Council days listed here; that should be tossed (for the most part). In its place should be an "unofficial" rule list for how roleplay is to be conducted; for example, how much land is an appropriate amount to fight for in one battle.

I know that people have different opinions on what is a good amount of land to be waged in a battle, among other things. However, this is where the new "rules" list would differ from the other one; it wouldn't be enforced. At the top of the list would be a message that says this (or something of a similar tone):

"These rules are not enforced by the wiki, but disobeying them may result in ostracization from the roleplaying community. Break at your own risk."

Now, here's why I was hesitant on making this a request at first: I don't know what kind of rules should be put in place. Additionally, I don't know how the rules would be decided. I suppose the names of the authors could be put at the top to show whose views they reflect? Anyways, just putting the idea out there. I figured if I put this on General Discussion it would get a few acknowledgements and then be forgotten, but I want a definite answer on whether or not this is a good and feasible idea.

Thanks,
