"The first rule of Eve Online is...." I myself have heard this phrase countless times and the "first rule" that follows it is almost always different. So I'm asking all you lovely forum people this: What is YOUR "first rule?" |

don't fly what you cant afford to lose, consider every ship you un-dock with as already dead if it does happen to make it back to station think of it as a bonus |

I'm pretty sure that "don't fly what you can't afford to lose", or any of the variations, is the overall chart-topper for Rule One.

There really is only one golden rule: "Never fly anything you cannot afford to loose, and replace immediately."
The runner-up being: "Don't trust anyone (especially with your stuff)."

my only rule is no irl death threats as I don't want to get banned. Rules are a pain in the butt and in general there are just way too many, so have some fun with EVE.

Games have rules, it's the very definition of the game. Rules tell you how have to play the game. If game engine won't allow you some activity because game designers don't think it's appropritate for their game - you won't be able to do it in most cases.

Never undock in anything that you would have issues losing.
and
Never fully trust anyone. I forget that one sometimes.

I don't impose any particular rules on myself, although keeping a certain mindest is valuable. "It's just a game" is probably the best way I've seen it expressed. Oh, and anyone who states "Internet spaceships are serious business" and means it deserves to be teased without mercy.
"Log before you flog" might be a useful tip for some.

Never squeeze a carebear.... they're cuddly and oh-so-cute when they first open their eyes ... and they need constant cleaning...
Speaking of which, when does the NES / NeX or whatever the Hell it's called these days finally start stocking "Carebear wipes" ?

This is so true! Nothing stings like the sense of betrayal you feel when an Alt stabs you in the back in what would have otherwise been a clean API check..

Are you new around here or you just totally missed my point on purpose? I meant all those who will tell you exactly why the way you spend your time playing game you pay for with your own money is wrong. Example: everything needs to be ISK/hr because otherwise it doesn't make sense to do it.
Rules of game set by designers and owner of game and whatever else are completely different thing and it's hard to say "do not fly what you cannot afford to lose" is in EULA or somewhere in code or you will get banned and persecuted by law for losing frakkton of ISK in a stupid way.
