The Cosplayer's Creed
I am a POTC cosplayer. I understand that my purpose in playing this character is to share my love of Pirates of the Caribbean. I will do my best to make the POTC community the best it can be and to ensure that others have favorable experiences in the community. I will maintain my character but will not get too serious. I will make sure that if I ever badmouth someone, they understand that I am acting in character and probably do not mean it. I will do my best to discourage practices such as Fanwhenching, Flaming, Baiting, and excluding newbies from the community because they reflect badly on other cosplayers. I understand that I do not have a monopoly on fantasized piracy and will encourage and assist new members of the cosplay community.
I will act by this creed until the day I die or so help me.*
If you are a cosplayer, I fully encourage you to repost this somewhere in your profile or blog.
I will act by this creed until far after the day I die. After all, I'm already dead, aren't I/
