Digging through the massive quantities of paper from the Copenhagen Expedition, Taru Hollola had discovered an oddity. Under the vast reams of after-action reports, treasure documentation, and logbook sketches was a single battered volume, titled "Things
I'm Not Allowed To Do" in Danish. Paging through it, an impish grin, entirely unlike her and almost entirely involuntary, spread across her face. Perhaps the young fools on their own expedition could use something like this of their own?
Basically I figured it'd be entertaining to have a thread like https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=451.0 (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=451.0), but for 'sonas. Suggest your own!

Nobody in the Known World is allowed to EVER play bagpipes. The penalty for a first offense is exile to the Silent World.

I would like to propose a formatting rule, that way we don't get weird formatting in the first post.
#. Thing we are not supposed to do
#a. Addendum to previous rule
For example mine would appear (if we're using first come first serve)
#4. Team members are not allowed to borrow all the coms equipment to "phone home"
#4a. especially if that involves coercing other teams to donate equipment and mages for the task.
while haiz's would be (if I may paraphrase a little)
#7. Trolls, no matter how small or seemingly harmless, are not pets.
#7a. or alarm clocks.
#7b. seriously get rid of that troll

I got one that keeps making me chuckle
Team members are not aloud to leave any sort of animal pelt laying around
Or wear them to frighten other members.

Seriously don't let him wear it.
Troll skin(s) may not be animal pelts, but are treated as such.

In that case, may I propose a rule for this list? Yeah I know it's just for fun, but the whole "no one ever is ever allowed to play bagpipes and the punishment is near-certain death" thing makes me a little bit uncomfortable, in the "corrupted dictatorship military state executioning everyone who don't agree" sort of way... I suggest that we keep make up funny rules but perhaps leave the punishment for the more severe ones to be decided by an established IC court of law. Lets face it, not even our crazy crew would sign up for an expedition with totally outlandish rules or punishments. Even the military needs to follow the legal systems of their country, and the crew is funded by the government.

Thirded. Rule regarding exile is removed.

Motion to re-establish the no playing of accordians rule with the punishment of having to clean horse stalls on return from an expedition. One stall per note.
#a punishment is not required if 51% of the expedition considers the noises being made to be actual music
#b except in any case where a troll or grossling is attracted by the accordion noises then punishment 2 stalls for every note.

Only removed part of a rule about bagpipes. Nevertheless, adding these because the thought of it is funny.

Accordians.. bagpipes... same thing in the long run. Loud and dangerous noisemakers.

But... but they're perfect for troll traps! D:
Or diversion... or hey, who knows, maybe trolls dislike bagpipes as much as you do and you can use 'em as a repellent.. THE BAGPIPE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. THIS RULE IS AN OFFENSE TO SCIENCE.

I apparently had the edit post window open with this one in it that I forgot to hit save on the one with the bagpipes rule...
Team members are strongly discouraged from attempting to convince team mages and magic adepts that they are still in their particular dreamscapes.
