What follows is simply a brief discourse on some of the finer points of behavior appropriate to online roleplaying games (mostly RP-centered MUSHes, as that's where my familiarity lies); these are the 'niceties', nominally written towards the newer player wishing to improve knowledge of how games 'work' outside and around themes. It's not meant in the least to be a definition of what "good roleplay" is, as such can change drastically from person to person and between themes and games as preference goes.
