This thread will serve as a one-stop for all rules related questions and answers and information. Attached is a zip file which contains both the Maid RPG rulebook PDF and the official errata, which most importantly affects the Crisis Adrenaline maid power.
In addition, any and all houserules that we may employ will be listed here for easy reference. Due to the design of the game being originally for tabletop or larp style roleplaying we may need to make adjusts from time to time to enable it to better suit the pace of play by post.

Character Creation Process
First and foremost, please speak to a GM about generating a character, so that we can supervise the process of rolling dice. The character creation process is perhaps annoyingly randomised but therein lies some of the fun.
Step 1
Ability scores. You will receive a set of ability scores tied to the attributes as printed in the book. With these, there are two options to modify your scores. The first is to swap any two scores and accept that as your final result. The second is to discard your first set of numbers and reroll up new scores. You may not do any swapping with these. If this second set also is not to your liking, you may discard them and reroll a third and final time, however you must accept these scores even if they are worse than previous results.
Step 2
Maid type. We will roll up three options, you will select two of them. Please bear in mind that the maid types are a broad concept that you need to take some from, but they are not required to be the absolute definition by any means. Also, Lolita does not necessarily mean Loli, as noted in the errata PDF; in our case, Lolita does not mean Loli, period. Try to be more open minded with your maid type, Boyish does not always mean you actually look like a boy, you could simply be overly energetic, such as Excel from Excel Saga as an example. Likewise Lolita could simply be a cute/sweet character, such as Mili from trigun.
Step 3
Maid colours. You get what you're given. If you're gonna rage about your hair, eye or clothing colour, reconsider your priorities.
Step 4
Special Qualities. We will roll up 4 options on the charts, you will pick 2. Simple. At this point, you should be getting a feel for your charcter.
Step 5
We roll your maid weapon maid roots and stress explosion. These are subject to rerolls only when the option is too debilitating(explosions) or doesn't suit the game(weapons). Players with high will and thus high spirit, for example, may understandably not be too keen on a stress explosion that effectively removes them from the game; however such explosions are still appropriate for lower spirit characters.
Step 6
Maid power. Fairly simple, we roll one up. As per the rules, if you have equal highest stats, you may choose which table. You get what you roll.
Step 7
Lastly, your maid has a complex. This is something she doesn't particularly like about herself and others gain an advantage over you if they learn of it and use it against you. You might not like the shape of your body, you might be ashamed of a certain behaviour you exhibit. It's not necessarily a bad trait, but it's something your character considers a bad trait about themselves. You may choose to roll on the physical or mental complex table. These tables can be found on around page 77 of the PDF.
Step 8
Background. Write up one based on your character thus far. Have fun with it, show off your writing talents etc. The more interesting and detailed your background is, the more likely the GMs will come up with ideas involving things from it to affect the game.

* Whenever the rulebook refers to real life minutes, note that we will be treating 12 hours as one minute.
* The favour cost of increasing your attributes will be 10 * (value you're buying up to). So buying a score from 2 up to 3 will cost you 30 favour.
