So, I'm pretty damn new to goon station but I am pretty old hat at roleplaying in clunky interfaces over the internet. Here's what the spirit of LLJK1's RP rules translated to ME as:
Never talk like you're anything but an actual spacemen on IC channels. They keep OOC options available (looc at least) for when you have to discuss mechanics.
Act like the chain of command and death matter. If you have authority- make the chain of command happen! Strip access from people that you can't trust with that access. Don't let stuff slide cuz "it's just a video game" but also don't be a total anal retentive ass about it, too.
COMMUNICATE! This seems to me to be the server where you don't really need to worry about out-of-nowhere murderboning. I try to make sure that anyone I'm gonna attack has at least knows I exist, and have noticed their existence. I might not announce I am coming for them, but interactivity is more important than robustness.
And finally, yeah, keep it wacky. Don't just be Spaceman Joe who's motivation is to tunnel vision on genetics because he is a geneticist. Do I really need to start spewing out more interesting variations on that motivation? If you can't come up with one, well... maybe stick with server 2.
Not any kind of definitive word, but to answer the question in the title- THAT'S how strict I think I it should be.
