What is "The most important rule on the message boards"?

So I saw this:

Remember the most important rule of the Paizo message boards.

on a thread, and my inner Joker came out, as seen from the title. As long as no one brought their inner Batman, this should be fun.

I know the first and most important rule of Fight Club (dont talk about Fight Club), but I cant see Paizo pushing that one. Its bad for business.

And I know my most important rule in life has always been "never kick a grizzly bear in the nuts"; I highly recommend those as words to live by, if you need some. Followed closely is "never try to hit on the princess right in front of her dad/husband", but that one doesnt seem a applicable here.

But I want to hear from some of the other brilliant people here as to what they consider some important rules to be.

And remember, this is supposed to be fun, if not funny

If Ravingdork ever makes a thread about anything, you are required to immediately make a post screaming about how horribly he wants to break the rules before reading the original post.

Winning the argument.

Don't be a jerk

I thought that was "dont be a......"

Winning the argument.

Related: If the argument eventually devolves to you and some other guy(s) repeatedly typing out your opinions with slightly different wordings each time and "No, this is why you're wrong", then the argument is over and you have clearly won, because there's no way you could be wrong or the topic could be subjective.

Take pride in your hard-won victory, for everyone shall be most impressed by how you weighed in on the tricky issue of how many mugs of human stout a dwarf can imbibe per Constitution point.

never fight a land war in asia

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

Write makes right.

I am, and always will be, "The New Guy"

or, to quote Confucius

"He who live in glass house no go on Paizo naked"

All paladins must be 'Chaotic Neutral', with all the baggage that alignment carries. Makes it a lot simpler, doesn't it?

Everyone else is having fun the wrong way!

The most important rule? 42. What else?

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women.

2 rules for loaning tools:
1) Only to people you trust.
2) You're a paranoid schizophrenic.

I always thought it was, "Have fun and game on".

#51. Sometimes, you're wrong.

Don't jerk a bee.

Wait, what?

Never use the search function just make a new thread.

Always carry a knife.

But never bring a knife to a gun fight.

Always carry a knife.

Great minds. And your name/handle is so close to being apropos, too. : D

Funny, I love that show but never noticed that! :)

I believe it has something to do with Wil Wheaton.

Other people play differently than you... That doesn't make them right.

Always be right. Never be wrong. Ever. If you are wrong, forget it. You're actually right. They are wrong. Be willing to die for the cause of being right, even if somehow you're actually wrong.

If someone else is wrong, do not let them get away with such a hell-worthy trespass.

Memento mori. The threads of yesteryear lie asleep on the forum, always waiting, beyond despair, to be necromanced and to see the light of day again. And then, one day, the stars will be right...

don't panic

...and hear the lamentations of the women.

That's actually just Lamontius.

He's very sensitive.

Rule #1: Heed Mythic Evil Lincoln for he is wise and terrible.

Do not taunt super happy fun mod.

Good thing I have never been wrong, then.

Should someone ask you to start chanting words that seem to consist of unutterable syllables, do comply!

What's this note? Hastur...

That's the spirit!

man I so desperately want to flag that post, hehehehehe

Always carry a knife.

I thought it was "Speak softly and carry a big stick"?

It's not like I'm happy about that situation - I'm just reportin' what I see. I blame the fact that there's no "Have the last poster beaten" key on our keyboards.

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

What is love?

Incorrect. You must answer in the form of a walrus.

Always bring a towel.

After the testing, there will be cake.

or death

um, uh, cake? (and don't you dare tell me you've run out of cake!)

There you go. Cake for you.... Thanks you very much... Church of England. Cake or death.

Pillage, then burn.

If you run out of cake, it's okay to stop trying.

Pillage, then burn.

Based on the threads that I have been reading lately, you got that backwards.

Drink beer
Eat pizza
Have fun
