"use your other gun!"
*what? why?*
"because there's APDS in that one and in this one is Gel-Ammo!"
*why do you know which of my guns uses what ammo?*
"because i can't stand badly maintained weapons and you let yours just fly around at home!"
*you and me, we are going to have a long discussion about personal space and privacy!*

Reminds me of that story about how the Runners (hired by a janitor to get a yak princess to notice him and dump her asshole yak boyfriend,) were having trouble with princess's kitty. They meant to tranquilize it, but the player named his guns and named the wrong one. He was trying to shoot it with DMSO + tranquilizer, and blew Kitty away with Ex-Ex. (Cue mission to frame the boyfriend for felicide.)

2020: I am not allowed to laugh at the stories involving EX-EX ammo, especially not the ones involving mistaking EX-EX for a nonlethal ammunition.
2020a: I am not allowed to miss the opportunity to make a Cyberpunk 2020 joke upon the occasion of the two-thousand twentieth entry in a (dis)ordered list.

2020b: nor are you allowed to miss the next opportunity: entry 2077.

2021: I am no longer allowed to add skills and contacts that allow my PC to "outsource" jobs in his spare time.

2022: I will not specialize in Thrown Weapon: Drop Bear

What?!? How else are you supposed to know if they're trustworthy or not?

2023: I will not make fun of the Troll Ninja. He's just big boned.

2024: An Orc in a Wingsuit is definately not as agile as a flying squirrel regardless of the amount of Bioware he has crammed in.

why not?
flying squirrels are only agile when not flying.
when they are flying it's down and generally only one direction with maybe minimal corrections to angle . .

that, right there

2025: A black troll in a OC Irish Family Tartan should not be encouraged to play the bagpipes.

Why not? You can have your cyberears filter it out, and it sounds guaranteed to make the opposition fall to their knees vomiting.

2026: I am not allowed to equip a medium drone with a turret containing a full-auto panther assault cannon with a coaxial full-auto panther assault cannon.

if you tape four of them together on a small motor you can jury rig it onto a Panther Assault Mini-Gun ... I call it the "Forum Troll!"

2027: I am not allowed to tape four FA Panther Assault Cannons onto a motor to make a jury rigged Mini gun

2027a : My GM is not allowed to hit me with a flaming rule book, especially not my own !

2027b: I can hear you thinking it .. ! .. stop it ... now !!

2028: A CIWS cannot be mounted on the bed of a pick-up truck.
2028a: I don't care how many Redneck Orks and Trolls you have, it just doesn't fit. Get a Flatbed Trailer.

A Laser CIWS probably could. You'd need to tow a trailer for the power packs, of course, but it's a pickup truck being worked on by redneck orks, that's a given.

And, actually, depending on what kind of gun you use... The Vindicator makes a good CIWS for a truck.

2029: My sniper is not allowed to set up his Smartlink or Tacnet to specifically enable "He used to be an X like you, until he took an ARO to the knee" jokes.

2030: "ARO to the knee" jokes are only funny if you've been stuck in a spam zone. Then they're a reason to rage!

2031: I'm not allowed to persuade the trollbow into killing targets with callshots to the knee, under the pretext that it's immensely funny.

2032: As the GM, I am not allowed to loudly read out select excerpts on certain dangerous critters in Running Wild to my players.

Despite it being really funny to see my players' horrified and terrified reactions to all of the terrible things that live in the Sixth World, it is grounds for either my players to walk away from the table...or they feel compelled to take my rulebooks and beat me until my face is black and blue.

Can't a GM have fun every now and then?

I used Running Wild to convince my group that staying to the cities is the best idea.

They know how to deal with the two-legged animals.

Provided it's not a coastal city. The last thing you want to hear during a run in the Seattle Docks is the corp security manager yelling: "Release the kraken!"

Nvm the fact that having a kraken encounter is perfect for giving your PCs crap for not taking the Swimming skill...

And also on how much gear/cyberware they're packing...

"Oh hey, that titanium bone lacing you're so proud of? Well, it's not doing you any favors in the water! -6 penalty to your Swimming roll, have fun!!!!!"

That's one of the many reasons why I prefer Plastic or Kevlar bone lacing.

Stealing! And my group has a boat!!!

I hope they like their calamari

#2033: Volunteering to GM for a few sessions so the regular GM can play for a bit is encouraged. the first session ending with the normal GM's GMPC getting rescued by batman while she's in her underwear... actually got a laugh from the regular GM, so might not be entirely banned. Better not try it again, though.

A GM once warned us that if we decided to derail the plot of a one-shot D&D game (we were to assassinate the emperor, and the only way out of the city was by boat) he'd throw a 30 HD kraken at us.

When the session started I looked around and said, "So, who thinks we can take a 30 HD kraken?" and just about everyone thought we could (we didn't do it though).

Strangely enough the most terrifying creature in the 6th world is a bus sized armadillo of all things...

Well, when they can likely shrug off 120mm tank rounds and are disgruntled at the best of times, there's a reason to be concerned about them.

much worse, do you know what an armadillo does when it's surprised by something?
IT JUMPS STRAIGHT UP INTO THE AIR!
Up to about 3 or 4 times it's body height . . think about that for a second!

The jump isn't a problem - the landing, a bit more...

No, thank you, I'd rather not.

2034: Poking the Bus-Sized Armadillo is prohibited by law, common knowledge, and survival instincts. It can only be done if you're being paid for it (As Shadowrunners always break those three things for nuyen.).

2034a: Angering the BSA is also frowned upon, even for people who shoot other people in the face for cash.

2034b: Making come-ons to the BSA is right out. That small town in Oklahoma still has a bounty on Bubba as big as the damned BSA.

2035: If you against all reason would pick a fight with the bus sized armadillo you're not allowed to yell at it "I'm the juggernaught bitch!"

3036: If I defeat the bus-sized armadillo in melee combat, I am allowed to scream "No, I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!"

2036 ... and get those evil, evil thoughts about a Gnome in an armored howdah riding a BSA right out of your head. I thought of it first! DIBS, dammit!!

Stop making CanRay jealous

You know, this still applies if you call it the Business Software Alliance.

Everyone needs a hobby

How about if you use "Boy Scounts of America?"

2115e: Shadowrun is the wrong game to pre-arrange with another player that your character and theirs are genetically related, but unaware of this fact, and then get into a relationship only so you can pull a Suprise Incest on the other players.

Note that they have a marksmanship badge, and have had for many, many decades.

2037a: Another concession of 2032; never read aloud select entries of the Disease chapter in Augmentation to my players.
2037b: The same can be said of the extreme environment rules found in Arsenal.
2037c: The same can ALSO be said (albeit to a lesser extent) of Magical Threats chapter in Street Magic to the group's Magician. Apparently, players do not like to be reminded of all the horrible ways their characters can die outside of conventional combat.

Indeed they do, and it was one of the first ones I acquired.

2038: As a hacker my job is to remove the group from Lone-Star's files, not merely replace all the murder charges with 'public indecency'.
2039: Hacking into the RFID tag of the troll's undergarments and editing it to read 'G-string' is wrong.
EDIT:
2040: It is considered bad form to abuse the color changing quality on other people's clothes. Even if it is hilarious.
2041: No throwing off the GM's plans by hijacking every vehicle we come across.

The Boyscouts are categorized as a paramilitary organization by many other countries and some in this one. If you go all the way to Eagle Scout (And some hoop jumping) you can get advanced rank placement in the Armed forces. If you get your hands on some of the old hand books they have such things as trail blazing and intelligence gathering in them.

But I really wanted to do that... only sometimes, when in need or for fun...

Yep...
