Hope you don't mind me adding on, Brovo:
9.5) GMs should be willing to personally write with any character that isn't interacting with others to bring them into the storyline.

21) GMs should ensure that players with characters heading for death get warned if they're about to do so. Nothing is worse than realizing your last post put your character directly on the chopping block for the GM's next action post.
21A) Exception: Tabletop/rolls-based RPing. Bad rolls are bad rolls, too bad and better luck next time.

22) Once the OOC thread is started, the GM should not shut down an RP before it begins except in the case of extraneous circumstances (real life, etc). The failure of players to transfer from the IntChk to OOC is not the fault of the players, and GMs should not be opening an OOC without adequate interest.
