What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums? (please write two complete sentences): Well, I'd say rum, but the rum's always gone!

The Code
Argh, mateys! I, Spideyssuperfan, be welcomin' ya to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" RPG. I hope yer stay with us be long and full of booty. Now, we pirates, although drunks and scoundrels, have a code. And no matter what happens, and I mean no matter what, we always stick to the code. The code for this game be as follows:
- Be your character! You're playing them, so make us readers feel it.
- Don't be lude, crude, or vulgar. Salty talk is acceptable, but offensiveness shan't be allowed.
- Don't be a thief. If someone has laid claim to the character you wish to portray, make yer own!
- Aye, mate, not all of us 'ere are brilliant, so don't critique your fellow posters.
- Make sure that yer character makes sense. If yer character lives for the thrills of adventure, then they oughtn't be sat in a tavern doing nothing!
- Don't be killing yer fellow players' characters!
- Make sure that you drop a line to other characters. It's a hard life living as a solo pirate.
- The masters of our seas, the game masters for all ye who don't talk pirate, will have the final say in acceptance. If you feel that yer character ought be allowed to sail, then state yer case in private messages
- At the time of the game's beginning, two characters is the play limit.
- "We be but humble pirates," as cap'n Barbossa would say, so ensure that all yer travelling is done on foot, horse drawn carriage, or sea-fairing vessel. There'll be no reining of sea turtles.
- Yer first post or arc should tell where your character is, how they got there, and who they are.
- Ensure that all ye actions are thought out. No randomness shall be tolerated.
- During sword fights, ye can't be chopping yer opponents head of. Ensure that all fights are fair. That's 'alf the fun after all.
- The central locale in the RPG is Tortuga. If ever you need a meetin' with a fellow character, try setting it up there. Who knows, you might see some familiar faces.
Above all, remember this: Stick to the code, or it'll be off to the brig with ya!
