I would like to make a formal plea to the staff with regards to this matter.
That the wording "for everyone to be excellent to one another" not be removed
from
"1. General Conduct:
The intent of these rules is for everyone to be excellent to one another and to use common sense. Keep fair play in mind and have consideration for others. It's a game, and nothing is gained or lost save for the experience. Credits can be re-earned and ammunition replenished. If you become infuriated, step away. If you make a mistake, apologize."
To me the phrasing is nostalgic and elegant.
* It's not so short that it comes off as goofy or witless
* Nor is it a long condescending demand.
It's "be excellent" or "treat others with the dignity deserving of another person playing and enjoying the game with you"
I would also like to cite the recent "Three Amigos" incident as to the importance of this phrasing.
