When I start the campaign, I have ground guidelines. Getting the character ready in time. Show up on time. Try to not break the game with OOC all the time. Try to play constructively to enhance the pleasure of everyone, not just your own. Respect the DM's rulings and discuss them after the game if you feel the need to talk about it. These kinds of things. When problems arise, I've never found anything that couldn't be solved by simply discussing after/between the game/s. If I come at your game table and you present me with a list of rules I should follow or get out, I won't play with you. I'm not your dog, and I don't have to submit to you. I'm here to have a good time with friends, which isn't exactly the same thing - it takes communication and understanding rather than submission and toughness. According to my view of gaming, something shocked me big time in your list:"Nothing personal?" Everything, IME, is personal about a gaming. And what's wrong with being personal anyway? It's like people just say that to avoid comments back. Reminds me of a show where a fired employee was saying something along the lines of "not personal? I spend 10 hours a day in here, I feed my children because of it, I'm good at it, and I love it. EVERYTHING about it is personal, dammit!"</blockquote>
