Rules!

[Nakura]

I'm just going to start fresh here since we lost the last list, you dig? [I liked that list too.]

First off:

1. The mods and admins are always right. Don't question it. [Even when they are wrong. ESPECIALLY when they are wrong. If there is a serious problem, send a PM to either them, or another Mod/Admin.]

2. Do not be a dick to anyone! Do not point out their gross grammar or spelling mistakes. If you have a problem, ask the person to clean it up or bring it up with a mod. [Be warned, don't whine too much, nobody likes a whiner. Everyone makes mistakes, especially on the internet, where it doesn't really matter. Keep in mind though, this rule is no reason to be a idiot about your posts either, please at least try to use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation. You will find that you attract more constructive posts when your post is... readable.]

3. No talk of early or future sets will be tolerated. If anyone is caught doing such an act, it will be a warning and a possible suspension. [Not something that was much of a problem in the past, but there have been a few instances of it. This is serious stuff, and will result in suspension/banning every time if I have any say in it.] No warez, cracks, serials or illegally obtained copyrighted content! Links to content of a questionable nature, asking for, offering, or asking for help/helping to process such content in any way or form is not tolerated.

4. Use the search function before posting. Chances are your question has already been answered.

5. Keep the focus: Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will be moved, and if it continues, it will simply be deleted.

6. Do not spam. No blatant advertising.

7. No cross posting. Post your message once, to the appropriate forum and nowhere else or it will be locked or deleted without warning.

8. Use a title that describes the content of your post. Don't use all caps or special characters to draw attention.

9. Don't post just to increase your number of posts. If you have nothing to say on a certain matter then don't post. The number of posts on this board has no direct relation to the experience of a member.

10. How NOT to post on this forum:
a. 5 minutes after your initial post you reply to your own post writing something like "Why is nobody helping me? I'm sure you know the answer". Once somebody replies to your thread but doesn't give you exactly the answer you've been expecting you insult them.
b. Do not ask "what's best" because this question cannot be answered objectively. This does not, however, prevent you from asking opinions on cards or on specific issues. For the most part the best cards vary greatly on your area and playgroup. Asking the best way to overcome Unicorn or whatever is fine, but asking what is the best deck is a loaded question at best.

If you have any problems with these issues, please refer to rule 1. [Or you know, go away and don't come back. That works too.]

[That about covers things, eh?]

Thanks!

[Nakura]

Very much so. Thanks for the clean up!

Very nice - short, simple and to the point.

This is a very simple guide, and as such, it has a very simple goal. That is, to educate the great posters of the CCC in the ways of the Horrible Reply. Everyone wants to be a horrible poster, but very few people actually know how. Don't fret, being a horrible poster doesn't take much though, in fact, all you have to do is make horrible posts! Follow these simple steps when replying to a thread and you will be on your way to Guru status in no time!

1. Quote someone popular on the forums and say "QFT". That way you contribute no real insight to a discussion but you gain powerful allies. When someone calls you out for saying something retarded, this will come in handy. Also acceptable, quote a phrase at least 6 times in one post.

2. Worship the ground AEG walks on. If someone makes a thread or post complaining about something that AEG has done, blame the playerbase! Remember, AEG is divine, and as such, they are incapable of fault. Flame the complainer for whining etc., even though it is due to complaints that every problem in L5R has been fixed.

3. Make sure to post that a thread is an "OMG DEAD HORSE" if you've seen any thread remotely similar to it in the last week or so. This will make other posters who never leave their computers like you, as they will also have read the thread from the Tuesday before last.

4. Never say anything about your karma. It is strictly taboo, and speaking of it can result in ex-communication from the various cliques of the CCC.

5. Make sure to load up your signature with lots of credentials. If you don't have every little thing in it, no one will believe a word you say. Type --(insert name here) after every post for added class and pizazz.

6. If you have an avatar, people will be more likely to stare at it rather than reading how dreadful your replies actually are. If you really want points, get some boobies in em. God knows you can't get rated down if the trolls are too busy fappin'!

7. Get a high post count. People determine your credibility by first checking your post count. Since you probably have nothing of merit or interest to say, randomly say cute little remarks that no one will take offense to.

8. Make sure to stress the fact that all clans in L5R are perfectly equal. Simple enough.

9. Respond with a quote and say "I stopped reading right there." Not only will you look like a totally pretentious prick, but you will hurt the feelings of some poor soul who you will never meet.

10. If you encounter a poster you dislike, who has low posts, respond with a snappy "Who are you again?" If you have never seen them post before then no one else has either, and they will all side with you and laugh with delight as they feel unloved by you and the CCC regulars. Obviously someone who you do not know on the internet has NO credentials whatsoever, and is therefore not to be believed on any account.

11. Nit pick everie grammer and speeling mistayke you finnd; U will luk smart!

12. NO U!

13. Talk about how nerdy everyone else is for being on an internet forum. You know, cause you aren't, you're a straight up G, a total thug. People will respect your hardcore 'tude bro!

14. Cite your gender or annual wages as often as possible. Obviously, if you're rich you must be right, so make up a salary if yours sucks. And if you are female, no one will disagree with you for fear of not getting laid/making you cry.

Being a truly horrible poster takes true dedication, but I assure you, we all can do it. Keep fighting to the top my children, and someday you may just reach the true pinnacle of CCC posting. Happy hunting, err, posting.

How am i doing boss?

You have been well trained, my young apprentice, they will be no match for you.

[Nakura]

New rule: If I see anything about stupid ass conspiracy theories involving AEG and the results for the race, I'm banning your IP and your ID.

This is your one and only warning.

Yes, I am pissed and sick of your shit. Yes, I am serious. Don't. Fuck. With. Me.
