Increasing the readability of RPs. Seriously, I think that good grammar and clarity should be a standard. The GM would give a warning about this.

Also, I think that it would be useful to distinguish OOC (Out of Character) remarks and IC (In Character) remarks. I think that any OOC remarks should be made in boldface, normal speaking in quotes (" "), and thoughts of characters in italics. Seriously, this would make things so much clearer.

Increasing the rules. On the rules page, which has not been edited in forever, we should update it with rules on grammar, and a guide to proper RPing.

This wiki needs to increase its professionalism. I believe we can do that without sacrificing the fun and creativity. We should attempt to make posts as detailed as possible. For example, instead of saying "A rugged looking Rhunnic man enters the tavern and sits down, looking uncomfortable"

It could be written more like

"The door of the Green Dragon opened, revealing a weather worn man. He appeared to be of Rhunnic origin, as his clothes were of eastern make, with bright colors that were certainly not of northwest middle earth. He looked around for a second, taking his bearings, and sat down at the table gingerly, as if he was not comfortable in the presence of these strange men."

I know this sounds simple, but it would enhance realism.

Also, a mistake I see being made commonly is a form of Metagaming, for example:

"The Rhunnic man looked to his right, seeing Azruben. He went up to him, and without a warning, punched him, sending him reeling"

Azruben didn't even have time to react. The Rhunnic man should have given Azruben some time to at least respond to the punch. When it comes to this, please be realistic. It's ok if your characters aren't perfect 100% of the time.

I already mentioned the page and info box initiative on another post, but I take the time here to remind you that this is a nessesary part of the wiki. It helps us know our characters much better, and increases how the wiki looks. Also, all custom lore should be on a page.
