Yes, my post a while back was purposely miss-numberd in an experment wich's goal was to see if people check the number or just go right off the post above them.
You guys passed the test.

I knew the numbers didn't match, but I figured it was more appropriate to go with the number right before mine.

2045b. In fact, cyborgs don't technically cry at all, since the surgical process removed their tear ducts..

My party has an indestructo-car vehicle thing, and they're considering adding a layer of FABIII.

N+1: I am not allowed to combine Artisan (Breakdancing), Exotic Ranged Weapon (Cyberleg Grenade Launchers), and cyberlegs fitted with grenade launchers to perform a "spinning deathblossom" in combat, no matter how much it makes the GM laugh.
N+1b: No, not even if I take Distinctive Style three times.

I have exceedingly strange friends.

That would be allowed and the first time would give a 10 karma award !

2048: It is not amusing to creat a campagin whose sole perpous is to see how long the players will go befor they realise I'm coppying and pasting the plot from "Firefly".
2049: It is not "the age of the geek, baby", even though it is.
Angelone
2231- No runs based of Mario Party 8's Tycoon level.
2232- No longer allowed to have the Drop Bear Conspiracy as a group contact.
2233- Drop Bear wrangling is not a skill.
2234- There is not always room for jello.
2234a- Or explosions.
2235- The answer is not more cowbell.
2236- The local mafia don does not sound like Mario.
2237- Bukkake and Bunraku are to entirely seperate things and I am not allowed to be involved in either of them.
2238- Not allowed to destroy dice that displease me at the gaming table.

No just bad memory and a few too many drinks. The reactions was priceless though.

2239: No longer allowed to fire my grapple gun at helicopters.
2240: No longer allowed to stretch monowire between two buildings and taunt the go gangers down the street.
2241: Damage, Inc isn't my theme song for Shadowrun, nor is Sanitarium.
Lurker 0
2239a: I am no longer allowed to fire my grapple gun from helicopters.
2239b: Or in helicopters.
2239c: "Helicopters" is henceforth expanded to include any and all air or space born vehicles.
2239d: As per the previous additions, this is now expanded to any and all vehicles of any type, whatsoever.
2239e: Any animal I could conceivably ride counts as a vehicle and is subject to the previous rules.
2239f: This does not mean I may mount grappling guns, or weapons of any kind, to an ostrich.
2239g: Building a working grappling gun IRL to prove my idea is possible is an admirable display of creativity and persistence, but it's not going to change the GM's mind or rulings. Not even if I let them fire it. Especially not if I handily provide a target.
2239h: I am no longer allowed to fire, loot, hold, touch, look at, mention in passing or fantasize about grappling guns. Ever. Failure to obey this rule will result in a high velocity reminder of my GM still having possession of the grappling gun that I built.
Harbin
2240: I am no longer allowed to set up a six-pack of stun grenades and toss them in an enclosed space along with an enemy. Such as an elevator.
2240a: I am not allowed to do this with any type of grenade.
2240b: Neither am I allowed to have grenades in my possession any longer.
2240c: Nor any explosives.
2241: I am no longer allowed to build cars with termination systems in them and set them out for people to steal.
KnightIII
2242: I am not allowed to have the male troll Mr. Johnson show up for the meeting riding a pink Harley Davidson Scorpian, wearing a pink suit, with a Helloy Kitty button on the collar. With Lady Gaga blaring from his PAN. Apparently the players do not belive they deserved a point of Notoriety for a "provoked" rage killing of a J.
Bob Lord of Evil
2243: If I invite you to play SR at my house, you may not mix my $75 a fifth single malt scotch with Diet Coke.

2244: As a player, I am not allowed to play Cher's "If I could turn back time" when I screw the pooch on a roll (from my laptop).

2245: As a GM, I will refrain from overusing the sound FX program on my laptop.

2246: (2245) Came about my playing the audio clip of "Squeal like a pig" (from "Deliverance") when anyone at the table talks about "taking one for the team".
Draco18s
2247: I am henceforth not allowed to play any sort of music or other audio file (including video) from any media capable device while at the game table.
2247a. Unless I am the GM and am using SHODAN clips while running the Renraku Shutdown campaign.
Angelone
2248: My clubs specialization can't be 40's.
2249: The other players aren't my Ho's and I can't extort them for money.
2249a: Characters are fair game however.
2250: No longer allowed to reference GTA or Saint's Row while making plans.
2251: No longer allowed to subcontract runs to other teams. It defeats the purpose.
2252: No longer allowed to start fights in Stuffer Shacks.
2253: Not allowed to mock the player whose character dies on a pile of twinkies until they cry.
2254: 40oz to freedom is not my theme song.
Red_Cap
2255: No longer allowed to make a character with the Qualities Amnesia & Regeneration and wrist-mounted cyberspurs. Show some imagination for Pete's sake.
2256: Just because you say "I AM INVEENSSABLE!" in the proper Russian accent doesn't mean you actually are. In point of fact, you'll probably die.
2257: "I saw it in a James Bond movie" is not a acceptable excuse for, well, anything.
2258: I cannot pintle-mount a gun on my Harley Scorpion and then never dismount to get around the fact that I was stupid enough to take Gunnery but not Heavy Weapons.
2259: When dictated a mission by a dragon, I shouldn't respond with an incredulous "Eat me." Because it turns out that he will.
2260" Not allowed to take a Magic 6 mage with maxed ranks in Biology and Armorer, initiate him to the highest level, bioengineer genetically-enhanced supersoldiers, and declare myself the Emperor of Man. Even if I promise to listen to Magnus.

2262: No longer allowed to booby trap the teams HQ without telling anyone.
2263: Hacking my teamates comm links and having it play TATUs "It's all about us" is not a proper way to show my apprection for the team.
2264: No longer allowed to make occult investigators based off of Inspector Closeu.
2264a: Or any one from the Naked Gun movies.
Glyph
2265: I am not allowed to make a SURGED purple-haired gnome close combat specialist bio-adept named Hit-Girl.
MatrixJargon
2266: If the first line I used to describe my character to the GM is "Man, guy, so he's like Macguiver but...." then he's out.
2266a: Double so if it continues "But he's like also a combination of Captain Kirk and the main character from Burn Notice."
2266b: Triply so if at any point after that I mention the A-team

2267: "Oh no you didn't, sucker tried to play me but he didn't pay me" is not Shadowrun's themesong. GM will hit me less if I remember that. damn you Mercenaries 2.

Kerenshara
2268: I am not allowed to hack into the security network and delete the biometric half of the minigun turrets "Target exclusion profile" when I don't have time to add our team to the file instead.

2269: I am not allowed to laugh myself sick at the look on the GMs face if I violate #2268.

2270: I am not allowed to make the sounds of wet-gurgly-death from the upper floors of the building after #2270 until the GM loses it.

2278: Can't talk my way past guards by trying to convince them that they entered bizzarro world and they don't belong because they don't have ghottes(sp?).
2278a: Also saying in bizzarro world guards break into places and loot them won't convince the guards to go get said Mcguffin for me.
2278b: Repeatedly shouting "BIZZARRO!" during all this won't help my case.
2279: No longer allowed to argue the fact that GlaDos had a better PR department than Dues and he should have just hired Charisma Associates to make him a catchy theme song. See rule 2275.
