Here are a couple of links to the posts that Keruptis made about RP Etiquette. A couple of these have been debated heavily in the last few days

I have to add something. Craig says "Let it go honey!" but I can't!
We were just discussing it, and I said "Let's see. How fun would it be for the Order if I used my uber mental telepathy to say to Necator 'hey, sugar, why don't you take Silence.. and hey, bring Unos Tres Tres Septem, and bring Immortality too.. they look bored... and go to *insert Silithus Cave Area description*, and kill everything that moves.'?"
It would suck, wouldn't it, to have three super Nefarian farming guilds descend upon your entire guild and cut you down like twigs, giggle, toss out some leet speak, then poof. Now, by their estimation, I could legitimately do this.
Should I?
As what is, in my opinion, something of an RP elitist... I say no. It's not a kind thing to do, for one thing. But it's also cheating. I don't HAVE telepathy. Sure I have tells. They're fantastic for gossiping about Theris, cause omg. I'm gonna see what's under his dress someday, oh yeah. *cough* But I digress.
The fact that you CAN do something does not excuse DOING it. I CAN beat my dog. But it would hurt him, and it's cruel, and I love him. So I don't do it.
If I spend 16 RL hours coordinating an RP event, and a bunch of them summon out just because zomg, all my friends are 60s and they're all 20-40.. hey, we were going to be fair and emote fight, not just beat the snot out of you with our epics. But now you've pissed us off.
That's when things become really hateful.
Out of respect for others work and time spent coordinating.. I would accept that I might die.
If they're going to send assassins after us and not accept RP death for themselves, then I'm going to Neo my way out of everything they do to me. Turnabout is fair play... even though it won't be any fun, or at all realistic, for anyone involved.
I can be one big jerk, when I want to. Let's hope they don't need to find this out.

And -now- I'm done.
