IV stands for IntraVenous Drip, I believe. you know, those bags of stuff you see patients wandering around hospitals with on steel poles that have needles going into their arms?

Ah, now I see. He and I both read IV as four both times. If it had been written I.V. it would've been clearer.

Punctuation is our friend.

* Not allowed to use the transport helicopter as a weapon in an assassination mission.
** Especially if it means we have to ram it into the hotel penthouse.
* Yes, the hotel is on an artificial island in the middle of the ocean and there probably is a military harbor nearby. No, it does not mean we can go there to hijack any ship.
** That goes double for nuclear submarines with ballistic missiles.
*** Aircraft carriers are still ships and I may not circumvent this rule by hijacking anything on the carrier.
* Kidnapping the obvious enemy agents that are pretending to be a couple and tying them up in their own room is fine. Killing them afterwards is unnecessary. ESPECIALLY after finishing the mission.
** No, I cannot dispose of their corpses by chopping them up and dissolving the chunks in a bath tub filled with acid.
*** No, I cannot have acid anyway.
**** If I have to kill the enemy agents, I will do it with a lethal injection or other subtle way, not by shooting them with their own pistols.
***** Throwing the bodies out the window afterwards will not help us make it look like a suicide, especially when they have bullet holes in their heads and no weapons nearby.
* Taking control of the security station and reprogramming the sentry guns to kill our targets is a good idea. Shooting the VIP that has to survive just to wound him and divert suspicion from the faction he represents is questionable.
* If I play poker with the president of the North American Republic, I will not convince him to sell me fighter airplanes cheaply. Especially if the mission involves killing him the next day.
* No more heavy drinking during assassination missions.

* Not allowed to call our party the B Team.

God, we had the best black ops EVER.

This one gets my vote.
Also
*May not dig a shaft from the top of a mountain almost to a planet's mantle, create a diving bell with Decanters of Endless Water on the bottom and launch into orbit on a steam powered cannon.
**May not use it as a base while I work with the party wizard to teleport large sheets of steel into orbit in order to make an interstellar ship.
***May not name said ship the spellship Enterprise, use alter self to give my gnome large ears, and start quoting the rules of acquisition.
****If I do I will have a run in with the Ferengi Commerce Authority who will have all my possessions confiscated, without returning me to the primary world in our campaign first.

**Rockphed** · 2012-10-08, 05:42 PM (ISO 8601)

My vote goes for the JJJ one.

**The-Mage-King** · 2012-10-08, 05:42 PM (ISO 8601)

Mine to the Decanters one.

**Winds** · 2012-10-08, 05:43 PM (ISO 8601)

I also vote Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: This Thread Powered by Decanters of Endless Water.

*My tendency to snark requires that I find a signal for OOC.
**Failure may result in...interesting circumstances.
***Supplanting the more diplomatic paladin as party face due to this may not be the wisest move.

**Kelb_Panthera** · 2012-10-08, 05:43 PM (ISO 8601)

Throw mine in for decanters too.

**Amidus Drexel** · 2012-10-08, 08:27 PM (ISO 8601)

Vote for the JJJ one.

Also

*My intimidate bonus does not work on the DM
**It most definitely will not get me extra exp

**Afool** · 2012-10-08, 08:33 PM (ISO 8601)

Another vote for Endless Decanter of Water.

**TuggyNE** · 2012-10-08, 08:55 PM (ISO 8601)

A possible variant is "... Decanters of Endless Bad Ideas".

Me likey. Variant submission:

Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas

**Kane0** · 2012-10-08, 10:26 PM (ISO 8601)

My vote also for Decanters.

*I may no longer homebrew while playing a session/campaign.
**I may no longer propose said homebrew to be used by the BBEG against us
***I may no longer be suprised when the fight suddenly gets a lot harder as the BBEG shows up with a lackey possessing my homebrew in tow.
****I certainly may no longer counter this with more homebrew for the party

**Balmas** · 2012-10-08, 11:09 PM (ISO 8601)

And it's decanters by a landslide!

So, do we want Decanter of endless water, or decanter of endless bad ideas?

*My character may not lay plumbing throughout the entire kingdom and call it the internet.
**Even if he is a plumber.
***Traveling through the pipes is out as well.
****Even if you're a plumber/druid, you can't have a dinosaur animal companion.

**Morithias** · 2012-10-08, 11:23 PM (ISO 8601)

Bad ideas. I want bad ideas.

**Ksheep** · 2012-10-08, 11:50 PM (ISO 8601)

I agree, bad ideas.

* The Deck of Illusions is NOT a Yu-Gi-Oh deck
** No, the gnomes do NOT have a series of arenas to play Yu-Gi-Oh in
*** No, you may NOT replace your opponent's deck with a Deck of Many Things and hope he doesn't notice.

*****considering the question is rigged, as the correct answer is MTG
******No, just because we got better acquainted with them as kids, and they had TV shows does not make them better
*******Pokemon even moreso, because the card game was nigh-unrelated to the TVshow

******** I was more refering to the fact that the fiendbinder captures fiends and summons them to do battle for him rather than anything card related. On that note.
* I am not allowed to say "I choose you" whenever I summon a fiend.
** I am not allowed to create tiny balls to hold fiends inside for portability.
*** I am not allowed to learn a demonlord's truename and command him into one of those tiny balls.

****** I will not bind any of the demon princes or archdukes of hell, even if I do find their truenames, because that's kind of like putting a saddle on a tornado. It'll be a hell of a ride (forgive the pun) but it's just not going to end well.

******* I am not allowed to bind Glasya and Fierna in order to have a private three person party. (I pray I do not get in trouble for writing this)

You're probably in the clear. There's a clean way to look at that sentence after all. (Probably more not so clean ways to look at it though.)

Kelb, that sentence contains both Glasya and Fierna. Even if he said, "in order to kill them and banish their souls forever," it'd manage to be unclean :p

Completely flew over my head and I didn't notice it until Kelb and Gareth made me think about it

(last 3 comments of the thread... leave us with something funny...)

Don't worry, you're like the fourth person to suggest truename-binding Glasya and/or Fierna for "recreational purposes."

******** I may not bind Asmodeous using his truename for the purpose of borrowing the Ruby Rod and using it to "spice up" the above party in any fashion.

That one may be crossing the line.

It triggered my squick detector and mine's not particularly sensitive.

* Craft (Squick) is not a valid skill.
* There is no such spell as Detect Squick.
