Only if you talk about GURPS; it is the official abbreviation for such things in BESM. ;)

True to life as always:

496) From now on I may not mention the words cultist and chicken in the same scene.

497) I will never design magical rituals without due care and attention.

Yes, I meant Character Points, since (at least in GURPS), that's what would (normally) be awarded for good roleplaying.

I understood what you meant, I just chose to be pedantic about your abbreviation in the context of GURPS, the way a good GURPS player should.

Like if someone said 5d6 damage instead of 5d damage when referring to how hard someone just got slapped

Which said behavior/outlook being characteristic of GURPS players is not conducive to expanding it's sphere of players.

In simpler terms, such pedantry is not a benefit of/to the game.

500) If we meet a group of NPC rangers, I am forbidden to refer to them as "Team Ranger".
500a) Pointing out the existence of the Ranger Green color is *not* helping my case in this particular instance.
500b) no longer allowed to coordinate with the other players so that the first letter of each of our characters' names are, when put next to each other in any order, pronounced like a word.
500c) especially not a color, or related to a color.

A few more from way back when that somebody reminded me of.

501) I will not name NPC's for random objects I can see when writing them up- yes silver dragon was sort of cool (if inappropriate) but hay bailer and u bend are just going too far.

502) Halfling =/= redneck.

503) Any unconscious party member is still a comrade, not ablative armour.
503b) Also not trade goods.
503c) Or food.

504 After the party has completely trashed the enemy mooks of the day and I have the BBEG of the campaign on the radio and he asks who the **** we are, I can't tell him that "We are lightning straying from the thunder".
505 Not allowed to play a Cosplayer character. Especially not if my character is to spend any time herself in character.

Er, why not? I mean, if you all get your butts handed to you, you look like lame poseurs, sure. But if you pull it off...?

This, on the other hand, is ridiculously confusing and recursive. :)
