500. Speaking of Welch and Skippy: I must remember that I am neither of them.
Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.501.)In that vein, not allowed to make a weapon called a "Trope Launcher". It's simply too confusing. This goes double if it actually adds new tropes to the wiki without sending them through YKTTW.

502a. Same goes for the lyrics to "Asshole" by Denis Leary.
502b. And the lyrics to "Detachable Penis" by King Missile.

506. I will notwill endeavour not to derail shipping-related threads with serious discussion about actual naval warfare, funny though it might be. (The reverse is not true due to Rule of Funny. Also, it's beneath my dignity.)
507. Starting Ship-to-Ship Combat involving Trope-tan is frowned upon, no matter how enthusiastic the discussion becomes.
508. Tropey the Wonder Dog is not to be shipped.
509. Fast Eddie/Trope-tan is not a valid ship. This discussion is closed.
510. The Laws And Customs Of War do not apply to Ship-to-Ship Combat. So approaching under false colors and hauling up my true preferences before letting loose with a broadside is still considered reprehensible, even if Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey do it all the time.
511. TV Tropes does not actually have a navy, our fine Ship Yard notwithstanding, and I am not its Admiral.
512. The Ship Yard is not to be used for purposes of piracy. No, I have idea how it would work, but ifwhen I figure it out, I am to assume that I'm banned from doing it. \\

Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.517: I will not pray to any tropers. Especially after they've asked me not too.
518: Yes, there is a reality outside of Tv Tropes, no I don't have to prove it to you.

- 521: I will not paste my own page over someone else's and claim they violated the above rule

525. I will not copy every post I ever make to my contributor page.
526. I will not attempt to aggravate other tropers to the point where they attempt to punch me through the monitor and ruin their computer. Especially if it would work.
527. I will not embed a repeating, auto-playing audio clip of Vader Breath into Darth Wiki.
528. I will not turn the entire wiki into an All Blue Entry.
529. I will not pothole all instances of the words "parsley," "longitude," and "intractable" to Vomit Indiscretion Shot.
530. I will not argue that substituting lower-cast l for upper-case I makes my "troII post" sockpuppet acceptable.
531.) I will not make utterly random redirects, such as foo to bar.
531a.) I will not make redirects for the sake of humour, such as making "easy" a redirect for Your Mom.
531b.) I will not attempt to redirect every single page on the wiki to Bork.Home Page.

531c.) I will not redirect Noaqiyeum's page to Eldritch Abomination, all instances of soul-sucking aside.
532.) I will keep in mind that the Trope Pantheon is purely Just for Fun, and that proselytizing for any one of the gods in it is frowned upon.
532a.) That goes double if I'm found proselytizing on any religious forum on the Internet.

Life is like a game of Mahjong. Sometimes you need to take risks if you want to come out ahead.
