Out of curiosity, what sort of rules are we going to have for this RPG? Or is it just going to be the same as the Daystrom's rules?

Posting rules:
I'll try to keep this as simple as possible since this is supposed to be fun.
Post responsibly, don't be super man and try to stay in character. If your guy is a science nerd like mine is don't make him Rambo also. Your character has faults. No one is amazing at everything. It makes for a very boring character and a annoying one.
Remember this is an RPG not a war game. Don't just wait for the action or wait for someone to give you something to do. Create your own mini stories and character development. Build relationships with other character either good or bad. The main plot is just there to keep us online it is not the defining point of the story.
I'm not going to put a size restriction on post sizes but make it reasonably. To big and people may have trouble reading it all if there are several posts like that.
You can't kill or maim another character. This means you can't give them any injury that they can not easily continue work with. During a fight you can say some shrapnel hit Rochey and caused a cut on his arm or something like that but nothing more. You are free to do what ever you like to your character.
You can do what ever you like to your own OC's but the rules above apply when dealing with other peoples. I can kill by science OC's but not engineering ones. You can kill any faceless person you want. So long as someone hasn't created a specific character you are free to kill them.
Try to not cause anything to outrageous like the Borg showing up or something totally absurd. Most of this is just common sense.
And that's about it. The standard posting rules which most people follow naturally.
You have to wait for there to be at least two posts after your last one before posting again. Again this is to stop people running away with the story.
Example of good posting order:
Mikey
Teaos
Blackstar
Rochey
Mikey
Bad posting would look like
Teaos
Metalhead
Teaos
Seafort
