The Subsumer Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Rule 506. Try to disassociate as much as possible, as your fatality chance is directly proportional to how many people know you. Rule 507. If, in the process of following rule 53, someone approaches you wishing to be your apprentice, refuse them (see rule 21). Rule 508. Try to have as boring a job as possible- be a cobbler or a cooper. Rule 509. If you find yourself unable to follow rule 55, have a traveling job such as a bard or storyteller. Rule 510. Give as many potential protagonists quests as possible to ensure that that protagonist will never see you again.

NameIess Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 511. Memorize all the rules on this list, so that you can follow them all perfectly. 512. If any rules on this list are repeated, that means they're doubly important. Ignore them at your own peril. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookwyrm Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 511 a. Magical forms of memorization come in handy for completing this step. If you do not have access to those, well...too bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 511 b. Magical forms of memorization can be manipulated, make sure to check the list often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 511 c. Make sure to inscribe these rules on metal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 511 d. If all else fails use your perfect memory to inscribe them on your mind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 511 e. If you don't have a perfect memory, maybe listen to the guy who does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quivil Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) 511 f. If someone of great importance *cough cough Aslan cough cough* tells you to memorize something and gives you a specific way to do so, LISTEN TO THEM AND MEMORIZE IT. That knowledge will be of great importance to you and make your life and/or quest a great deal easier. Edit: Actually this should technically be rule 513. Sorry.

The Bookwyrm Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 511 g. This rule isn't a rule, but an apology, for adding so many rules as footnotes to rule 511. We're sorry, and will eventually get back on track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 511 h. Always remember that authors need to include at least 1 plot twist per book, so expect one of these rules (that you've memorized, right?) to be wrong at least once a month, probably closer to once a week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quivil Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) 511 h. I.

Lego Mistborn Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 511 i. For all rules, assume the inverse also holds true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) 513. Always remember to take note of seemingly inconspicuous objects or stories that are told to you or noticed early in your adventure, they will almost certainly be very relevant later.

NameIess Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Just now, Tani said: This is 513 No, that falls out under 511 just fine. It’s memory related. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean all the rules that say "Don't be (insert occupation here). See Rule 6." should be nested under Rule 6, "Don't be a messenger, bad things happen to messengers"? There are lots of related rules that are separate, not nested under each other. Edited October 6, 2022 by Tani 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posted it as 511f, directly under 511e, on the same general topic (memorizing important stuff) as the rest of the sub rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookwyrm Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Rule 514: Don't argue for too long about unimportant things. It lets the hungry monsters catch up to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 514b. Or do argue if you want to attract a monster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyAarakocra Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) 515. It's not a utopia. It's never a utopia. 515a. If everyone claims that it's a utopia, then the govt. is actually corrupt and will kill you for no apparent reason. 515b. If you fall victim to 514a, your only hope is to either fake your own death and appear in the climax, or join the shadowy cabal that everyone whispers about and vilifies, but actually is composed entirely of good guys.
