Some time ago the topic of Eve Rules was being discussed and after a while came up with these 10 Rules of Eve.
Quote:The 10 Rules of Eve
1st Rule of Eve = Never trust anyone.
2nd Rule of Eve = It's always a trap.
3rd Rule of Eve = If it sounds too good to be true, refer to Rule 1 and 2.
4th Rule of Eve = Don't fly what you can't replace.
5th Rule of Eve = The only safe place is in station.
6th Rule of Eve = Undock from station is consent for PvP.
7th Rule of Eve = When in doubt, refer to Rule 4, 5 and 6.
8th Rule of Eve = There is no correct way to play.
9th Rule of Eve = Conversation gains Information.
10th Rule of Eve = To correctly play Eve, refer to Rule 8 and 9.
Just wondering if everyone was pretty much in agreement with those. I'm sure there's a few more Cardinal Rules that can be added to the list. At least enough to make it The 13 Rules of Eve. Of course more would be better.
Food for thought. As you can plainly see, after a couple of rules are stated there's another rule which refers back to the previous rules. That should be included with any new rule group, for example :
11th Rule of Eve = The Forums are Eve too. 12th Rule of Eve = Only alt characters post in the forums. 13th Rule of Eve = To win Eve, refer to Rule 11 and 12.
Anyway, just post some more basic rules to this thread and if everyone agrees, I'll add them to the existing list.

Well, that was just an example. Also it doesn't have to be super serious either. Just more or less be generally accepted.

Rule 5 and 6 are actually wrong. You can still lose your stuff while being docked.
- someone can destroy your POS - you can be tricked into a margin trading scam (or any other scam) - a corp member can steal corp assets from hangars
So rule 5 doesn't actually exist and rule 6 should be changed to "when you decide to start playing EVE". |

Quote:
4th Rule Of Eve = Don't fly what you can't replace.
In correct form: Dont undock anything you're not willing to lose. Also, thats not 4th, its the 1st and the only rule.
btw, the part about only alts posting, not true, totaly not.
Have a great day o/

Rule #14 Goons are Grrrrr Rule #15 If you think you can't win a battle, force the node into TiDi. If that doesn't work, release all your drones, log out then back in. If the node goes down, noone loses. Rule #16 When entering Jita, minimize local and forget about it. Rule #17 In Eve there is no such thing as a "fair" fight

The first rule is somewhat paradoxical. If you trust some other players, by joining a Corp to PvP, PvE, mine, or whatever,... you open a whole new door to the game.
Never trusting is the safest way to play, but the safest way isn't always the most fun. IMO |

Quote:The 10 Rules of Eve 4th Rule Of Eve = Don't fly what you can't replace.
With the current value of isk vs what it was generally worth say in 2008, I consider this outdated and It should simply be changed to:
4th Rule Of Eve = Don't fly.
Reason is, your ship and isk can always be replaced, while your E-Peen cannot. |
