I cannot break a siege by mailing the commander the severed fingertips of his family, who are also behind the walls with him.

I don't know...if they really WERE the severed fingertips of his family, that might make the commander decide
that, perhaps, negotiation is the better part of valour....

I can not send enemies under seige supplies of "nutritional supplement #3" bars as goodwill gifts.

They were his family's fingertips. I had an team go over the wall and take them a half hour before I sent another probing strike to cut the commander off from where the dependents were kept.

OK.....so why is this a "do not"? It, actually, is quite a bit nice compared to what the new head of the Death Commandos did
on one planet, and is actually very Liao-like. *takes notes* I need to do this in a game to my players sometime...

Eh, the GM was all squeamish about it. And, as I keep repeating, I've got an game set up for a Falchion-style adventure, and I'm always looking for new test subjects.

First resort is not throwing the prisoners into the pit of slavering phallus wolves.

I cannot use a Kanazuchi to effect entry into a sealed room as part of a mixed infantry element.

Astral projection is not to be used for supernatural trolling of the skeptics society.

Swapping the signs between the gym showers and the Basic Training tear gas exposure chamber is contraindicated.

There was nothing "supernatural" about how the CO's daughter ended up naked in bed with me.

Guys, I think it's important that sometimes we come back to our roots. Therefore, the most important and oldest Do Not of all.

Thou shalt not inflict Falchion upon thine allies, only thine enemies. Unless thine allies are being jerks and deserve it.

Of course, inflicting Falchion on your enemies can be considered to constitute a war crime...

I am not use inducted 2-stroke diesel exhaust as a way to keep contractors and yard dogs out of the ship intentionally.

As a side effect, it is allowed.

I am not allowed to use racial epitaphs, strong language or dead baby jokes while attending community outreach programs.

I cannot use the CO's summer home as a rangefinder for artillery.

I cannot use PMCs as bullet sponges for my troops during assaults.

I cannot demote superior officers, nor is "Wesley Crusher" a rank.

I cannot hire new mercenaries by asking for their rap sheets rather than resumes.

There's a difference? ???

Weaponized deer ticks: against the Ares Conventions (but still a Good Idea^tm).

I cannot use burning prams to distract the enemy.

I cannot produce, direct, distribute, sell, or participate in "MechPorn".

Even if there is a market for it.

I also cannot tell recruits that it is merely a way to improve their piloting skills.

Even if it does.

I can no longer own a camera.

Or be within 10 meters of the recruits.

I cannot keep heating my rations on the machine gun's water jacket.

Tactical nuclear weapons are not to be issued to the grunts as cigarette lighters (even if Ted Taylor proved it could be done).

I am no longer allowed to leave our Capellan Maskarovika Acupuncturist along with any more captured enemy personnel, no matter how effective it is in making them divulge information.

Terminax · « **Reply #176 on:** 08 May 2012, 21:15:05 »

I am allowed to respond to enemy fire... so long as that response isn't by using my 'mech to throw farm animals (alive or dead) at them.

MrJake · « **Reply #177 on:** 09 May 2012, 01:07:21 »

If I name my mech the Enola Gay, I shouldn't be surprised when everyone shoots at it.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #178 on:** 09 May 2012, 01:17:52 »

That's a name for an aerospace fighter, not a mech. #P

I'm not allowed to rig the Battle Armor squad's suits to play pornographic videos via their suits' mimetic systems.

I'm not allowed to put 'mech coolant in the punch, again.
