A community-made rule common in almost all RP servers in the popular standalone mod Garry's Mod

Each time you die you start a new life--all your previous memories are lost.

It is the most important Roleplaying rule of them all, it is what keeps the game at RP level. It would not be fun if a crook kills a cop and that same cop returns over and over again.

Though a lot of admins and players have problems making MingeBags understand and follow this rule.

Household code (sometimes unspoken) that defines how siblings or friends take turns playing a video game that is single player or when there is not 2+ controllers.

If you die or beat a level, pass the controller.
Little Sally and Billy are taking turns playing Super Mario Bros. Sally is first, and Billy is waiting his turn. Sally walks into the first Goomba in World 1-1. Noob.

Billy: "My turn!!" *snatches controller*

Sally: "But I just started! No fair!"

Billy is correctly exemplifying the One Life/Level Rule. Sally needs to learn how not to be a scrub.
