Since I didn't see one anywhere else yet:lwf58 wrote:However, that doesn't stop anyone from creating a "Spamville Do's and Don'ts" thread in Other Talk that people can contribute to, and then you can link to that when replying to introductions. Making it interactive will meet any objections to having it as a thread.
In other words, post your current "rules list", and then make new ones and debate the existing ones. As long as it's a discussion, I'll call it a valid thread.
Edit 1: Added suggested items.
Edit 2: Fixed some spelling and grammar.
Edit 3: More additions. Fixed some spelling and grammar.
The 'Standard Warnings' of Spamville:
1: Watch out for Mazoku and Succubi --- Himitsu in particular.
2: Never accept a weapon from Screws.
3: Never get between any two people when they're arguing.
3.2: Especially don't get in between Neko-chan and Himitsu when they are 'arguing'.
4: Always carry weapons... Big, powerful and lots of em.
5: Sanity is optional. Leave it at the door.
6: Acey's place is probably one of the only safehouses in Spamville besides the It's Saturday Night.
7: Watch out for random splashes of water. You're likely going to get cursed. Oh don't get stabbed by Zombies, or accept anything costume related from perky catgirls.
8: Don't get blasted
8.2: If you do get blasted make sure you blast them back.
9: Bring weapons.
10: Be careful when treading in Spamville, it's a madhouse.
10.2: If you ignore the suggestion to keep away, at least enter while eating or drinking.
11: Did I mention the weapons?
12: Paranoia is the best route to safety. ^^
13: Be careful of deities, and robots.
14: Be careful of Legozilla.
15: N2 mines hurt, orbital lances hurt more.
16: Kill the Spore. ^~
17: If you see a Succubus, give it an Okonomiyaki..
18: Enjoy the atmosphere, but don't get in between a fight between the Brotherhood and the Succubi.
19: School is a very dangerous place, well the students are...
20: Be wary of crystals. They can be tricky.
21: Overkill is an unknown term. So is collateral damage.
22: Random Plug: Don't forget to stop by at the 'Guess the Movie Thread' located under 'Other'.
23: Be wary of convoluted familial relationships and devious daughters of Mazoku ( I'm looking at you Shades-chan).
24: Watch out, you might end up getting cursed and engaged... Or both.
25: Random Plug: If you've seen those Animated-Avvies, then you should talk to Cybses (Cyber_Skaarj), he does excellent work, and I'm sure if you ask nicely and he isn't too busy, he'd make one for you too *grins* and Cybses being the multi-talented person that he is can also make animated banners as well... go here for more information. *grins*
26: Don't forget the other sites, like Dante's (Calling all Succubus thread), the Arena (Lightning's Arena), and the Schools *grins*.... If you dare. Oh and visit WarG's Curse and Go and the Lab *grins* Nothing bad will happen I promise *crosses fingers behind my back*
27: Most importantly have fun and enjoy yourself
Random Important Plug: Please be sure to read the Forum rules. It's important, even in Spamville~!
28: Add to the Spamville Character Dossier if you're gonna be a regular in Spamville.
29: Be wary of minions, such as Prinnies, Brass Demons, Horny Bisexual Catgirls, Black Mages and the like. If nothing else they're hazardous to ones health.
30: Hell has provided a convinient way to get out. So has Heaven. They just don't want the regular cast
31: Icecream will summon demons. And that's a given!
32: About the only safe place in Spamville you'll find is Acey's Place. Anti-violence wards in place. Join in for some real R&R.
33: Gender indications are not nessecarily true...
33.2: And in some cases they are
33.3: And in some cases they are both.
34: 'God Modding' is frowned upon in Spamville.
35: Try and keep the usage of familiars to a minimum, if possible just for comic relief. Keeping track of multiple physical identities with each their own set of physical characteristics which are all posted by one and the same person will eventually get confusing. Best to avoid this. Using multiple mental identities however should not be a problem.
36: Please don't spam the "It's Saturday" thread.
