This is a guide for all newcoming gentlemen to learn appropriate behavior and etiquette for their future endeavors. The rules here are the basics of being a gentleman, and although you are encouraged to follow them, you are not forced. Let's get right to it, then, shall we?
Basics of Gentlemanliness:
1. To be a gentleman, the first thing you must know is to be pleasant and kind to everyone, no matter the circumstances. This includes race, gender, religious beliefs, characteristics, etcetera. Do not throw hateful insults ever, and respect everyone's opinion. Be especially respectful to ladies; For example, if a lady walks into a room where everyone is sitting and there are no chairs available, all the gentlemen would stand and offer their seat. They would also hold the door open and let ladies through before them.
2. Try to avoid unnecessary arguments, unless it is a healthy debate of opinions. What I mean by this is to not join into arguments that are unpleasant, such as if the members are throwing insults back and forth, or talk as if they hate each other. Healthy debates are when members are talking about a topic in a friendly manner, and do not insult each other at all. Example: "'What are your thoughts on feminism, and female rights?' 'I do not believe in female rights; However I do believe in human rights, where all humans are treated equally and respectfully for their roles in society.' 'I see your point; Thank you for voicing it!' 'Anytime, friend.'
3. Always be fair. A gentleman does not cheat or take advantage of situations in unfair ways. For example, if you are playing Sword Fights on the Heights, you wouldn't kill an AFK player to rack up your own KOs; You would also not draw your sword until your forcefield from respawning has worn off to prevent killing the defenceless.
4. Do not be quick to anger. Be very patient, and do not let little things get to you, such as if you lose a swordfighting duel, or a match on paintball, etc; Do not jump to conclusions by calling your opponent a hacker, or other names. Simply leave it at "Good game", or "Well played.". You don't even have to say anything, if you feel you have nothing kind to say.
5. Gentlemen dress appropriate and classy for any kind of occasion, to ensure he looks rather approachable and proper compared to the surrounding folks. Proper grammar, punctuation and capitalization at all times when talking help with this.
6. Gentlemen are honest. They do not lie about occasions in any circumstance, as if found out, it will make themselves look bad. They do not make excuses such as "Lag" or "Venomshank noob", etc. And some may be encountered with the infamous question from the missus: "Does this make me look fat?" or something similar. An appropriate response would be "Madam, you look perfect." Future reference.
7. Refrain from swearing, or using curse words. Although infrequent use is acceptable, anything above that begins lowering your reputation and makes you look immature or unfriendly. Especially on here; You never know when children who should not hear such words may be present.
8. Be socially friendly; Ask things like "How do you do?" to new people you meet, and wish "Good day" or "It was a pleasure meeting you" to people who are departing. If someone does not wish to talk, respect their wish and leave them be.
Hopefully this forum post proved helpful to all who read it; If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to PM me or reply to this thread; If I missed anything, I'll update the article in a separate post, as there is no currently known method to edit posts.
