No.1 rule of online gaming: Everyone thinks that they're old enough to refer to someone else as"kid"

[Irridium]

Rule 24: Numbers mean nothing.

 

[The Man With the Soap]

All the rules pretty much boil down to this one phrase:\

Don't be a dick!

 

[AwkwardTurtle]

Rule 99: Don't join an instance if either a.You suddenly need to go afk. or b.Plan on randomly leaving as soon as it starts cause you're a twat.

[EdwardOrchard]

Rule number.... whatever number we're on: Anybody doing worse than you is a newb. Anybody doing better is a hacker.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Rule 18: Thou shall not blame thou's death on noob tactics or overpowered weapons.

Rule xX20XxCobra_Viper

Lots of people have names of snakes and Xs as part of their online handles, try not to get these people mixed up with one another.

Rule 21 Thou shalt not play on another man's(or woman's) keyboard if thou hast partaken in the cheesy victuals known as "Cheetos" without first engaging in the cleansing ritual of "wet nap." If thou shalt defile the holy keyboard (or controller) with thy cheesy, greasy and foul hands thou shalt incur the wrath of GOD and the punishment for such a crime is one frosty beverage delivered to the assaulted owner of said controller or keyboard. Amen.

Rule 2: Thou shalt not stand next to me while I'm trying to snipe and fire at me, giving away the position I've taken up.

Rule 2a:
Always crouch/use ninja/take the stealthy approach when coming near me while I am doing the stealthy approach. Sprinting and firing rockets next to me doesn't help.

Rule 2b: Two snipers do not do well in the same spot.

Rule 4: Thou shalt revive fallen team-mates if you get the chance.

But what if they're morons running Second Chance in Call of Duty?

Rule 4b: Thou shalt not reward idiots for using idiotic perks. This includes Second Chance.
Rule 4c: Thou shalt mock idiots who use idiotic perks by tea-bagging their not-yet-dead corpse if thou sees them in Second Chance.

Rule 22: Learn how to play the game via singleplayer before playing with others, do this and you will be more likely to succeed.

Rule 47: Know your role, Know your Fellow's Role. In groups, always make sure you know what your class's job is, and what tools you have at your disposal to do it. Make sure you do, in fact, do it. More than this, understand the roles of everyone else around you, and what tools the classes they are playing have to do those jobs.

Rule47a: If you're debuffing, Debuff before you DPS. If you're Crowd Control, make sure everything that is to be controlled, Is, before you do any DPS. Make sure it stays that way for as long as it needs to.

Rule47b: If you're DPS, be sensetive to the roles of the support classes. Be careful of the Crowd Control that's in place, and don't distrupt it. Be mindful of your healers and keep them safe.

Rule47c: Don't expect your functionality to be the same in group work as it is when you Solo. They are often vastly different, and playing as you do Solo, when in a group, is a recipie for wiping everyone, much of the time.

I HATE HATE HATE when people say "kid" to me. There are two kinds of people in this category. Type 1: People who sound like they actually can't be any older than 15, trying to elevate themselves above you in some stupid way. And then we have Type 2: The guy's who can actually say kid because they're in their 20s, but they say it in a condescending way because they think they have some sort of self righteous mission to prove they're better than you just because they're older.

Rule 7: Fifa rule, DON'T TRAMP IT!

What about the people who call any age kid when they start acting childish? You know, like me.
