The Rules of Zaky

I have been watching NCIS and am reminded that like Gibbs I came up with a list of rules. Unlike Gibbs I only have one Rule 1 and I don't force others to follow them. I wouldn't mind if you borrowed them if you make your list of rules.

So here they are:

Rule #1 Never betray your True Family.

Rule #2 You do what you have to for Family.

Rule #3 Never be unreachable.

Rule #4 The best way to keep a secret? Keep it to yourself.Second best? Tell one other person - if you must.There is no third best.

Rule #5 Always try diplomacy first, then if that fails do what you have to.

Rule #6 Don't waste good.

Rule #7 Always be specific when you lie.

Rule #8 Never take anything for granted.

Rule #9 A good host offers drinks, or at least warns the company of the drink shortage before their arrival.

Rule #10 Never split the party.

Rule #11 When the game is done, walk away.

Rule #12 Your game, your rules! The DM/GM/ST is always right.

Rule #13 Never interrupt Zaky while he is watching new Doctor Who.

Rule #14 Bend the line, don't break it.

Rule #15 If someone has the upper hand... Break it.

Rule #16 If you think someone has stacked the deck against you, they probably have.

Rule #17 Everything happens for a reason.

Rule #18 Trust your Brother!

Rule #19 Wikipedia can be wrong, and often is.

Rule #20 Never screw over your closest friend, they are the one that will always be there to bail you out.

Rule #21 Never buy game dice for someone else's love.

Rule #22 Follow the law, but don't trust the officers enforcing it blindly.

Rule #23 Don't talk about "Fight Club".

Rule #24 Always keep track of friends that you lose track of time with.

Rule #25 Carrying a knife and a pen is always a good idea.

Rule #26 You're only in trouble if you get caught.

Rule #27 You can tell a lot about someone by the Hogwarts House they claim to be in.

Rule #28 Never waste guilt over someone else's sins.

Rule #29 Teasing someone is fine, bullying isn't.

Rule #30 Don't mess with Dragons, because you're crunchy and tasty.

Rule #31 Every RPG game will make pop culture jokes, enjoy it.

Rule #32 Drama is for TV and books, leave it out of the game.

Rule #33 Be careful of the name you tell to others and be careful of the names you give others. Names have power.

Rule #34 Take every blessing you get, protect the happy, and understand the day will end and the sun will rise.

Rule #35 Never be afraid to tell your friends when they are being played by the people they are dating.

Rule #36 The customer isn't always right, in fact they are usually wrong.

Rule #37 Its better to have a customer than a dollar.

Rule #38 When your friend's relatives ask why you weren't at the last family function, they aren't your friend's relatives anymore, they're your family too.

Rule #39 There is never a reason to not give a hug.

Rule #40 Humor is always a good way to help a friend in need.

Rule #41 Between a night with a good friend and a night alone, always choose the friend. Sadness fades when good friends are around.

Rule #42 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

Rule #43 Know which battles to fight, which to flee, and which to never start.

Rule #44 When in trouble, get the women and children out first.

Rule #45 Clean up your own mess.

Rule #46 You aren't always right, but you don't need to let others know that.

Rule #47 Have a code word with your closest friends and family for when you are in danger. Mine is simply "Rule 47."

Rule #48 Never be ashamed to ask for help, you are human and your strength can give out.

Rule #49 Never be afraid to learn something new, only be afraid of the day you stop learning.

Rule #50 You are not your character, if you can't keep them separate it's time to stop playing.

Rule #51 You are never to old to play games or with toys.

Rule #52 Nothing is impossible only highly improbable.
