User blog comment:Nelthro/Origin of TES RP Rules/@comment-17114085-20141109214637

A lot of those rules are still used today, or have been evolved throughout their use (like rule 6, which has become the no Fridge Magic rule). They are solid rules, even if some were slightly changed over the last 2 years or so, but that is to be expected.

Me for example I take a lot of liberties with rule 5, as there are people that can juggle more than 3 characters. In my RPs I write: Multiple characters are allowed, just don't make more than you can handle. Since most users already know just how many characters they can personally handle to RP with.

One rule that isn't on there that is pretty important is the "No fooling around" rule, as there are users that join the RP and just to random stuff that doesn't contribute to the story and actually tend to ruin things for other people. I know quite a lot of users from the TES wiki that do this, not going to name any though.
