| �Fight of Way - Hero Etiquette� Journal Entry #3 |
| I know that Donny gains a special thrill out of his role as Executive Administrator of the Freedom Squad (i.e. secretary), and I�m sure takes enormous pleasure from scheduling things. I also know that Anomalous takes distinct pride in his, shall we say, �thorough� lectures. Put these two together, and you get a very long afternoon for team members. Still, I believe that last Saturday�s 8 hour session on Hero Etiquette was less pointless than many of the team exercises that these two conjur up when they put their heads together. There is in fact, a standard of behavior that should be followed by crime fighters toward each other, in order for all of us to remain united in our never-ending war against evil. Rather than go into a long boring lecture, like my encyclopedic collegue, Anomalous would, I would just like to go over a few quick points to remember ... for the 75% of you who called in sick for the lecture (myself included). |

| One of the reasons that I am so sure that good is better than evil, is that evil is constantly warring with each other over supremacy. Our great advantage is that we on the good side, are able to unite in a common goal, if only we can avoid being jerks to each other! So, my fellow Freedom Squad members, split that last doughnut in the break room, don�t hog the TV remote in the training center, and no spitting radioactive popcorn seeds into each other�s �Kiss Me, I�m Lefty!� coffee mugs! After all, we�re all on the same side here! |

| � No finishing off another hero�s mostly-vanquished foe - Stealing is always wrong, even if it�s just somebody�s thunder. � Keep your smart remarks to yourself � No mocking another hero�s name or outfit. Most of the good ones have been copyrighted by now, so they probably got stuck with theirs. � No poaching � many heroes and supergroups have taken solemn responsibilty for certain neighborhoods and areas in town. If you see a single hero steadfastly guarding a single rooftop, let him handle that tiny corner of Paragon on his own � it�s all he has! |
| � Eyes forward! � no ogling of bossoms or tushes, no matter how scantily-clad a heroine�s outfit is, nor how promiscuous her crime fighting moniker implies. � Nobody likes a tattletale � No arresting fellow heroes for jaywalking, or loitering, or other petty offense. Also, vigilantes are heroes too, until they cross a line which can never be accurately described, at which point they must be stopped at all costs! � Their secret is your secret � If another hero trusts you enough to reveal their secret identity don�t auction it off on Ebay! � �Thanks for saving my beans!� � When a hero saves your life, thank them, stupid! Ordinary citizens will sometimes follow you halfway across town just to thank you personally, you owe other heroes the same effort when its your hash in the fire. |
