The Rules of Gaming

[Death Dark]

Rule #1

No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you are the only one who has the power, skill, and/or ability to complete the task at hand, even if it's to save the Universes.  All 9 of 'em.


Rule #2

Save the princess


Rule #3

Always get the extra life


Rule #4

Any foe is deflatable with enough continues.


Rule #5

Any person wearing a SWAT-like suit is an enemy foot-soldier working for an oppressive organization that is currently running your place of residency.


Rule #6

There is one guy, a quiet, cool looking guy in a trenchcoat.  This guy is the single most powerful character in the game.  Pray that he's on your side.


Rule #7

No enemy is ever dead, just defeated.


Rule #8

The really tough guys dress as if they're gay to fool you.


Rule #9

Size is directly proportional to power.


Rule #10

In order for my attack to work, I must announce it.

Rule #10

You can kill any foe, no matter how difficult, as long as you have enough quarters.

Rule #11

No matter what it is, any vehicle can be piloted expertly without any sort of experience.

You said:

The main character's sibling(s) are either foolish or wimps


You obviously haven't played Grandia.  In Grandia, the sibling is one of the hardest bosses of the game (which has some pretty hard bosses).

[Death Dark]

She speaks the truth, mostly.  He is a rough character, though, that's for sure.

But as a note, only the rules in the first post are those that I deem "official," since these are my "Rules" of gaming.

[Buradi-Mari]

I know I'm right.  Aren't I always?

[Hobro]

It has been amended.

[Buradi-Mari]

Or so you say, Chess Beta Tester Bum.

She has a point. Claus is the Masked Man.

[Hobro]

Never played a Grandia game all the way through so I wouldn't know, I apologize for my ignorance.

[Death Dark]

Keep an eye out on the rules.  I've updated them.

[Hobro]

So have mine.

[Buradi-Mari]

What?  Your rules have updated DD's rules?

[Hobro]

In a way, he Okayed two of my suggestions, making them rules.

[Buradi-Mari]

I was pointing out your mistake.

People tend to get angry with me for constantly correcting their errors.  :]
