Well, first of all I would like to express my interest in joining this game, or rather, formally apply ;)

Second, I know it has been asked a few posts further up, but to go into more detail: What exactly can I do and what can't I do before I get an ingame avatar?

And, to add to the general confusion, I think the dispute that is going on here (having read the diet and most of this thread, leading up to the current problems), has to be settled OOC in a way that states, in what way characters can violate rules, because their character does actually violate a rule and when that is just not possible, because the rule is not just an IC rule but an OOC rule that ensures enjoyment of the game for all players ;)
