Wow, I hate to be a "jerk", though it has often been my role as admin of FRC. And since DM Ainur has the current reputation as most wrathful DM, please allow me to disagree. 
It's me.
There have been too many reports of downright disrespectful behavior as of late. Disregard for well documented rules, blatant ignorance of the well documented rules and certain disdain for the well documented rules.
Bear in mind - not one player can say they don't have the rules because we have scripted them to appear as an inventory item and replace themselves consistently should new rules need arise, though they haven't changed in some time. Here's a real old tip. Read them.
Here's the thing... ignorance, or ignoring, or simply failing to obey said rules is going to result in immediate bans. Period.
Although my DM's would never complain as such because they absolutely rock I guarantee I like them better than you. I will ban *YOU* if you don't follow the posted rules.
Yes, the DM's are also held to these standards of behavior, just ask one about me.
Some may say, "But Justy... I'm an old school player" -- I could care less.
Threaten to take half the server with you? If you are cheating and their the kind of buddies who allow that I say good riddance.
Let me be clear that the DM's communicate *DEEPLY* regarding possible rules breakers and all the crazy stuff some players think go unseen. It doesn't. Ever. Ever... ever, ever go unseen.
The FRC DM's are nice guys and gals (almost saints, really) who volunteer their time to making most of our players time more enjoyable -- and since the favor isn't being returned by certain players I am going to have to get medieval on their asses.
Please don't be surprised if your meta-gaming, power-leveling buddy suddenly disappears without a whimper from the FRC server. I will make it so with great pleasure.
To the minority of players breaking the rules... or just skirting them - this is your final warning. Fear me. I will hunt you down in game and skin you. Well... it will be silent and quick, actually. I will just ban you forever and you will never be welcome again. No remorse. I have started a "list".
Players previously mentioned in DM posts (in our private forum) are indeed already half-banned. I can't wait to put my "money where my mouth is".
To the wonderful masses of FRC players, please continue to role-play as beautifully as ever. It is in the spirit of keeping our DM team sane and productive that I make this post.
FRC lives because of the wonderful DM team here. No player will stand in the way of that and I promise you I will enforce what I have laid before you.
