I am no longer allowed to "commandeer" the local orbital defence installation to use the NAC battery as a firework launcher. Even if it was visible the next continent over. Doing so was incredibly awsome and cool highly irresponsible and not at all a good thing.

Arming the commoners/peasants is fine. Weaponising them less so.

The members of my party are not my personal science experiments.   I may not spend more time creating detailed physical work  ups instead of actually healing them nor pray for crippling injuries in combat to begin the cybernetic and bio-engineering process to improve them.   I am to remember that living beings are not lego sets.

When my Wolfhound rounds a corner and sees a Daishi staring right back at him in a Double Blind game, I'm no longer allowed to declare Threat Condition Brown.

No: it is a Lyran heavy Mech. 80 tons is light, 85-90 tons is Medium, 95 is heavy.

We are not playing O.G.R.E..  I am not allowed to purchase nuclear warheads, plant them in the middle of the map, and claim that they are command detonated mines.    Nor can I create 'Nuclear Limpet Mines'.   Even super heavy battlemechs and tanks do not warrant this level of combat.   When someone creates the rules for a BOLO or an O.G.R.E.... then I will be allowed but not till that day.

It doesn't matter that there is a battlemech company down there or a squadron of submarines lurking under the waves, I am also not allowed to deploy them as depth charges.

I am not allowed to recreate the crash of White Star One into Z'ha'dum from Babylon 5... even if it would solve all our problems at the cost of a single leopard dropship.

I'm no longer allowed to keep trained attack pigs in my back yard to deal with any annoying salespeople who come to my door.

Apparently it violates a city ordinance or something.

I tried saying that as an appeal, but one incident where your attack pigs get loose and eat a few of the neighbors' kids and suddenly everybody's dead set against them.

Discussing my political views with the press is frowned upon. Doubly so when they concern the Chancellor. Triply so when I raid the medical lab for visual aids.

I am not allowed to ignore the restraining order against me even in combat conditions. Especially while in my Archer. Even more especially when fighting in close combat near my ex-wife's house. And with the added corrolary that I cannot judo flip a Banshee no matter how good my piloting skill.

I'm not allowed to buy a time machine, go back in time, bet on a bunch of sporting events I know the outcome of, go back in time again, invest the money in the stock market in stocks I know will skyrocket, take the money, go back in time again, and put the money into banks to let it grow compound interest for about 100 years, then use the end results to buy the time machine.

Well of course not! The banks cannot let you MAKE money from them. It would be better to invest that in mutual
funds and investment groups that you know will be successful.

When I am pilotting an Atlas, I am no longer allowed to refer to our scout's Commando as "little bro".

On an unrelated note, I am not allowed to pick up and use said scout's Commando as a mechshield for said Atlas. Even if he can still fire his weapons.
