Player Characters(PC's) it's your turn.
2.����Respect the GM. If you constantly try and mess up the games they run, most likely you will be putting yourself on their hit list. So this means, no goodies, no awesome items or weapons, but you probably will get attacked by an almost continuous stream of bad luck (The guided missiles veering off course straight for...you!).
3.����All powerful characters get boring. Don't look at me like that, I mean what I say. After a while, being able to obliterate your enemies in one shot gets boring. The challenge of using your skills and finding items to help is what makes gaming fun, so indulge in it!
4.����Remember to respect everyone in the game (unless, of course, that's what your character is not suppose to do). If you don't, you may end up getting your character killed by the other characters as well as the GM (I fire the plasma turret at his forehead. Hey! You can't do that you don't know how to operate it! GM's decision: A demon that knows how to operate plasma turrets possesses him for 30 seconds, just long enough to fire, obliterating the character it was aimed at.)
5.����Remember that the GM is the technical "God" of the game. She/he creates the world your characters are in through storytelling and visualization. If you piss off God, obviously you're going to get some holy wrath on your sorry butt. Yes, this is the same as number 2, just stated differently. I put it in again because it deserves the extra emphasis.
6.����Word to the wise: Junk food tastes good, looks good, and smells good, but if you eat nothing but junk food, you will not look good (or smell good). That's right, obesity tends to set in when all you do all day is game and eat chips. To avoid this try to walk to the store for more food instead of sending your little brother. Or try to stand up and walk to the kitchen to make yourself a sandwich instead of hitting the fridge with a stick until food comes out of it, then use the stick to drag some food over to your lazy carcass.
7.���� If you want to ever have some sort of social life, don't take the game too seriously. Let me clarify that statement. No more calling your teacher at school (or boss at work for those with jobs) Emperor Prosek or "Warlord of Russia." No more figuring out the S.D.C. and H.P. of your parents and siblings. And DEFINITELY no more putting gaming as a higher priority than everything in life (Honey, your Father died, his funeral is tomorrow. Sorry Mom, Jack's got a game going at his house tomorrow, I won't be able to make it.). For those of you who do this (you know who you are), you might want to try and start changing some of those habits now, it's a very hard change. I should know, I still do most of those things.
