I appreciate Skud's initiative to get other players to understand the TG way of playing and promoting fairness, but TG members should already be playing that way.

Snooggums hits it on the head. The Gentlemans agreement is, in laymans terms, fluff. It's pure initiative.
It's an effort. That's all it is. A pure, simple effort to encourage players to really
THINK about the rules instead of just KNOWING them/not breaking them.
And snooggums is absolutely correct: he's already been responsible. I never brought it up "Hey, sign this agreement" to anyone. I just made the thread. The 6th was not involved at all. Hell, I don't even think most of our prominent
TG PR players even signed it - because they don't have to. They never had to. They wear the tag and will wear it till their e-deaths. They know what it means - what it really means. They've been around long enough to interrupt rules on their own.
The Gentlemens agreement is a gesture of
TG tag wearers and their willingness to help interrupt the rules instead of just follow them.
