I am not longer allowed to see just how many bodies it takes to gum up the tracks on a tank or to trip a battlemech (IE:  No, I can't just take all infantry and field guns anymore).

Aff, and, of course, Sherman understood that war can only continue as long as the population is willing to support the war.
Thus, his actions, brutal as they were, were justified at the time. They are similar to tactics used in Germany in WW2 with
where we would bomb(see: Dresden). The only difference, really, between a War Crime and a Viable Military Tactic is:

Sorry about that.
Pretty new to the boards still and wasn't sure how this particular "game" worked. :-[
I'll make sure to keep them consolidated in the future. O:-)

That being said, I am no longer allowed to insist my artillery piece be referred to as Thomas because "when they're this big, they don't like being called Tom anymore..."

VTOLs are not to be referred to as "clay pigeons" and artillery spotters are not to yell "pull" every time one passes.
Also, FRIENDLY VTOLS are not viable targets, despite my spotter having yelled "pull".
On a related note, I am no longer to train my spotter to yell "pull" every time he sees a VTOL.

Apparently adding loose glitter to the artillery ammo is "frowned upon" even though it makes things more festive.

Ranging shots are no longer to be referred to as "free samples".

Announcing the position of my artillery unit to the enemy by writing "Come Get Some!" in sandbags, large rocks or pine cones is against regulations.

Despite the civilian symbolism, in the military XO does not refer to hugs and kisses and new recruits are not to be told that the Executive Officer is called the XO because he is such a lovable guy.

I am no longer allowed to haze new recruits by telling them they have to qualify on the Short Tom before they can fire the Long Tom.
Nor am I allowed to send them looking for "Short Tom Artillery" because we are "out" of the Long Tom variety...

5) Turn the game into a Hercule Poirot-style 'who dun it?' mystery
6) Speak in a horrible French accent during said activity

Actually, the character in question is another PC. And the death certificate will list "death by dumbass companions trying to pick a fight with a lich". The dire bear is just a distraction, and a none to subtle hint that they are outclassed.

Just because the warship has the heat sinks to fire all of its energy weapons every turn, does not mean it should do so. This goes double when there is no enemy around.

i am not allowed to build a merc company that is technically company sized and will fit inside a leopard class dropship

Which Leapord, the standard only holds 4 mechs and 2 asfs, the vehicle one only supports 12 vees, the CV only holds 6 fighters, and the PA only holds 4 squads of infantry, 2 small craft, and 2 asfs.

So all options only hold half a company, or maybe a company of halflings?

And according to the star league book 12 vees is technically a company.  Though I would probably make it 16 vee company by putting four vetolss in the upper bay along with 16 platoons of infantry (3 tons for each inf bay)

The Two-sword using Medusa Paladin(with a Keen Falcata for her bonded weapon) will NOT pop Smite Evil
on the Big Bad Demon in the first round of the fight..she must at least let the other PCs have a chance to try
and hurt the Big Bad Demon. Apparently, killing the Demon in one round of Falcata and short sword strikes
makes the fighter, mage,  Bard, Ranger, and Druid feel useless.


In Shadowrun, when I make the Troll Face Social Adept, I will *NOT* talk my way through all situations,

No longer allowed to theorize why the party of half orcs has a gnome.  (current working theory is a botched kidnapping and stockholm syndrome, and thats more than we need to know)

Certainly not allowed to posit that we probably like the pack mule more than the gnome.  (it has a lot in common with a half orc. . .stubborn, a half breed, sterile, kind of ugly. . .)

Cleric is no longer allowed to name the results of his turn undead spell, and then keep them as pets.

Druid is no longer allowed to destroy the results of the turn undead spell without the permission of the Cleric.

Taking a shortcut through the Gnome Colony on another continent's wheatfield is a BAD idea.

The effects of Gnomish Coffee on a human(Hyper-awareness, synethesia, speeding up thought process,
and wakefulness) are not a joke, no matter how funny they might be to watch. And, just because one
rogue managed to survive does not mean I can give Gnomish Coffee to another rogue. Only Gnomes
shall drink Gnomish Coffee.

My high-level wizard is not allowed to refer to his fireball spell as an "instant shortcut" or "doorway maker".

Also, from a recent Shadowrun4 game: Just because my demo specialist can bring down the entire skyscraper with a single well-placed explosive charge, doesn't mean he's allowed to. Also, adding a building outline to my kill tally is considered poor form.

I have been informed that a chemistry degree does not confer the right to gas the entire building.  Yes, it solved the problem of breaking into the facility and assassinating the target but TPTB do not look kindly on indiscriminate acts like this.

In addition, knowing a facility has a lock down procedure against biological contamination is not free license to recreate the opening scene of Resident Evil.   No, I will not be allowed to create a zombie virus just to recreate the opening scene with the pure intention just to watch the chaos, even if this is Shadowrun and we have ghouls already...  weaponization of this disease is disallowed.

In fact, no biological or chemical weapons, poisons, or toxins in general.   Some things are just too cruel to inflict on others it seems in the minds of most GMs... and courts.

Of course not.  You're supposed to tell them that the BA are full of beet juice or raspberry jam (depending on consistency).

DO NOT use a Davy Crockett as balls in mech rugby matches.

I am not allowed to fight a trail of possession for world in a augmented rugby match with elementals.

Do not taunt the ice hellions, they tend to get upset, throw a temper tantrum get beaten, then not want to play anymore.

While cool, I am not allowed to hook up a ammo loader vehicle to my dual rotary 5 toting templar, and load it with nothing but tracers.

Plasma rifles are not a acceptable way to break up a riot.

I am not allowed to forge my commanding s officer signature, to use a jump ship, commandeer 3 drop ships.  Then take my mech company, with some civilian volunteers to go across the border into jade falcon territory.  orbital drop onto a industrial complex, hold off the falcons while my dropships land, and my civilian volunteers, load sturmfers, allacorns, and demolishers left at the factory into the drop ships.   I am also not allowed to sell any of the tanks for personal profit, even if I sold only 4 out of the 30 we recovered.   
(this honestly happened in a ATOW, the regimental commander heard about this stunt, and wanted a significant share of the profits, he also was not sure weather to pin a medal on me, or send me to prison)

The COC does not care what I read in mechtech magazine, we have a budget, so requisitioning a refit for my blackjack, that involves light Ac/5's AES, a trageting computer, and a XL engine is NOT GOING TO BE APPROVED.

I live in Detroit and Im so tired of hearing that song!!! Every Baseball game, Hockey and any sport even when Detroit is losing, that song comes out. I personally think everytime that song comes on the team loses.

South Detroit......is Windsor, ON or Zug Island (Where the heavy industry and gas fields are and a very horrible smell)

Calling for fire support and air support is a normal and respectable practice. The time we breached a dam and flooded the valley justified the call for water support. Engineering teams building fortifications might be even construed as earth support. But any attempts to call for "heart support" will be met with an immediate and permanent  loss of radio privileges.

At least when I told one player in my group he was no longer allowed to play a rogue, it was after about
3 years of him making any sort of rogue/thief/shinobi/whathaveyou be so dangerous it hogged the spotlight..

I've spent an entire module where creatures are immune, attack in a manner that avoids flank, etc.  And just before the module started, two of us bought Outflank (Teamwork Feat) - haven't used it once.

Actually, it's pork and human flesh that taste similar (unsurprising, really, when you consider that pigs are omnivores like humans).  This is why human meat is called "long pig" in some cannibal societies.

You are allowed to hack the enemy targeting computers to make them think they are facing Matildas and Panzer Mk IIIs though... when they're actually facing Alacorns, Challenger Xs and Ajax assault tanks


Also having distant BattleMechs register as close-up infantry can be amusing
