It's hard to explain this, but I'll try:

Required, if not, highly recommended

 * 1) Follow the rules of that forum. If the forum allows mild profanity or political references for comedic purposes, then you can do it. But of course, don't insult someone like it's the YouTube comment section, or post content that's too offensive.
 * 2) Keep track of every posts and actions relevant. Don't miss posts like Alpha sometimes do or else you'll get nonstop complaints.
 * 3) Also keep track of status effects. It's easy to miss updating them.
 * 4) "Hopefully, it'll be worth the wait" isn't really worth it when you update weekly instead of daily.
 * 5) *Try not to be lazy in updating the game.
 * 6) *Try not to delay your posts like Half-Life 3 and GD 2.1
 * 7) *Operating a forum game isn't recommended if you have school-related problems. Like exam is coming, or lotsa homework today, or your country/school makes you study longer than other.
 * 8) *Operating more than 2 games isn't recommended, since this will significantly delay your updates, and might make you forget about one of them.
 * 9) *Some GMs abandon their games without announcing. Don't be like them; post about why you abandon it. Like, say, your problems in life.
 * 10) *Always announce when you're putting your game on hiatus, and why. And when you're going to resume operating it, for instance; January 1-10.
 * 11) Don't make a boss that only attack you with the same attack and you have to keep attacking him until he dies. This boss is, of course, really boring.
 * 12) *See Damage-Sponge Boss for a better description of this. (Click Laconic for a shorter one).
 * 13) Doing these will make players get bored and quit one by one. (Not counting those occassions when they have other problems in their lives).

Optional

 * 1) Use your imagination when creating something, especially a boss, a special weapon, a faction, a zone, or an event.
 * 2) *You can use this if you don't want yourself as a godmodder to be the final boss.
 * 3) If you want to make an abnormally long boss fight (Marathon Boss), like the final boss, don't make him boring, like a Damage-Sponge Boss, make him have different phases and creative attacks.
 * 4) Giant bosses (like the Mega Crab in Alpha's version of BtC) are arguably awesome. (Anyone who have played Shadow of the Colossus will know this).
 * 5) *They'll obviously have immeasurable HP.
 * 6) *You'll fight them by reaching their weak points to attack them for massive damage. (Shadow of the Colossus, Attack on Titan, etc.)
 * 7) *Or growing huge to fight a behemoth. (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, etc.)
 * 8) *Or summoning a giant robot that may or may not be combined from smaller vehicles. (Power Rangers, etc.)
 * 9) *Or just stay at your original size, but become really powerful, and fight them. (Asura's Wrath, etc.)
 * 10) *And more!
 * 11) Try to spoil as less as possible, even if there are some people who just doesn't care about those, or if people ask about spoilers (but you can keep the response private). This will keep fans excited.
 * 12) BtC consists of anything from any works of fiction. Video games, films, TV shows, anime, animation, you name it. But my version (and Alpha's) consists of zones from Terraria and Minecraft.
 * 13) Once the final boss of the BtC world is defeated, then the sequel may have you going to other planets and interacting with larger factions, with some of them being alien empires.
 * 14) Use name generators if you have trouble coming up with a name for your creations. (Just google them).
 * 15) Some of the bosses can be recurring villains that may or may not have minions. Working with him.
 * 16) TV Tropes is your friend in helping you with your imagination. But don't get too addicted. Again, you can just click "Laconic" for brief descriptions.
 * 17) *Video game settings. Should you add an abandoned lab, a giant beehive, or a volcano into the game?
 * 18) *Boss Battle. How will you design your boss, and which tropes that you should avoid not to make your bosses boring?
 * 19) *You may request more of these, or find more by browsing TV Tropes by yourself. It may ruin your life by making you addicted, but in the same time, it may improve your creativity by introducing you to new boss types or zone types that you don't know about.
 * 20) *The reason why I don't add every recommended trope indexes/categories is because I don't want you to get addicted.


 * Report the problems that you're experiencing at the moment and I'll try to explain about them.
 * If some of these don't help, try asking a fellow GM, Alpha654.
