2113: I am no longer allowed to encourage my players to engage in IC revelry. Especially right before they are suddenly thrust into the middle of a run.
2114: I am no longer allowed to associate real world companies with megacorporations in SR. 2114a: I am especially no longer allowed to do this when I bear an unhealthy grudge to the real world company for various reasons. Especially the Korean ones, because there is no way in Hell even Aztechnology is as evil as some of them. 2115: Shipping PC/NPC pairings is apparently frowned upon. 2115a: Shipping PC pairings also highly frowned upon. 2115b: We shall not even discuss shipping player pairings. That results in beatings. |

(In one game--Not shadowrun--one of the other PCs is my character's daughter. In another game, I'm his character's daughter. In the first game another PC is the other parent, in the second game I believe the mother is an NPC). |

2117:
Apparently stealing a vehicle, rigging it for Rigger control and then Remote driving it through AAA with the "new Guy" as driver and the remainder of the party invisible in the back seat ... is Frowned Upon not least by lonestar but also by a small angry mob of players the words "Whaddya mean it HASN'T had the transponder chip changed since we boosted it?!?" shall forever ring in my ears |

Sounds like a fun game. I'm one of those people that furiously ships PCs with just about everything and everyone in game. It makes the game more fun, in my humble opinion.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) I can understand people not wanting relationships in their games, but I think it's fun. |

Guuh, I don't want people in a relationship on different sides of the screen. It far to often devolves into preferential treatment, overly harsh treatment to dispel any illusion of the first, really stupid arguments or lack of focus.
Be a couple all you like, just don't bring it to the table... Goes for online games to... |

It's almost like a player saying "kidnap some random Joe on the street and interrogate him about the Big Bad" because they're both played by the GM. |

I meant a scenario where the GM and a player is a couple IRL.
Especially when one of them is brought into roleplaying because of the other part, then you got panicked fear of disapproval to content with aswell... Usually not a problem for me as the girls I enjoy spending time with are batshit insane artsy to begin with. |

Not that she expects any preferential treatment, of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Having a couple at the table is rather fun to watch though, especially the shenanigans ingame when their characters absolutely hate each other (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Edit: Referring to players only, not with the GM. |

2119: No IC stalking of other PCs. It really freaks them out when your charcter is suddenly more knowledgeable about their actions than the GM is.
2119a: This goes double for OoC stalking. There are laws against that, after all. |
