I just want to quickly touch on an issue that occasionally has come up over the years, and say that if you're somebody who has a very limited schedule to RP in, the best practice is to make any negotiations with your opponent on the boards (preferably in booking threads before a match is booked) and try to avoid waiting until you're booked against someone and trying to convince them to RP less, or only on certain days. Sure, a lot of the RPers here are pretty cool about that but it's still seen by many as the shady way of going about things because the person is already booked in a match with you and might feel put on the spot. If they need to go by a very specific RP schedule that's different than the boards, it's fair to make sure they know this before they're already booked with you, so they don't feel like an ass if they say no.

It's also worth noting that if an RP agreement is reached in private, NOBODY is under any obligation to live up to it. You could be getting set up by your opponent, or you could take blatant advantage of them, and we won't care. I have seen it happen before, and it's a mess. If it's made public on the boards like it should be, it's official. Let's keep this fun and fair for everyone, and make sure nobody feels pressured to do (or not do) anything.

This goes for everyone from newcomers to staff members who RP. Don't put people on the spot privately if you're not fully available to RP, please. This is why booking threads exist and allow replies long before a card is booked. If something unexpected comes up after the card is booked, use the OOC board.
