So JC was asking about a copy of the VDO rules... Since we started at 76, it was assumed that there was 1-75 out there somewhere.
Well there isn't. Yet. I made up rule 76 using that number because the Rules of teh Internet didn't go up that high and Goren's badge number is 4376.
Since this would be
1. a big project & 2. require at least 75 more rules to be made up
I'd like to call this list the LOCI & Associated rules instead of just the VDO rules and ask for contributions.
Through the course of discussion the list will be compiled together and when we have a full list, a final version will be decided on by the group at large. That will then become the "offical" list.
Weigh in, toss in your ideas, don't be shy. This is like a brainstorming thread so just say whatever you'd like to see and we'll try to work with it to make it "list-able."

I wanted a no tie clip rule, can't I have one? But I guess since Bobby insist on wearing them, I will never get my wish, unless I go and break into the wardrobe dept and steal all the tie clips. But then I would have to steal all the tie clips of the world. Or create a machine that zaps them all out of the world. hmmm better get working.

Perhaps we need a Rule that states "Statutory health warnings should be issued in advance of Picturesque Hot Moments", in order to allow me the opportunity to sit on the floor first.
RULE # ** - STATUTORY HEALTH WARNINGS MUST BE ISSUED IN ADVANCE OF PICTURESQUE HOT MOMENTSPoor Logan. "You have a right to a new partner. In the event that that partner leaves, gets preggers, or is vastly unpopular, a new partner will be provided for you by the authorities."

Ok, I am a newbie, so I am not sure how the rules get set. But I love this idea!
I have a couple to toss around
- Any shooting of "bad guys" must be done by Eames.
- The right to call Robert Goren, "Bobby", is reserved for partners, bosses, family, and close friends who fix cars.
If I am not understading how you submit ideas for rules, please let me know.

I'll change rule 75 to be mandatory so that there is only one version of the rule.
JanxAngel
Nov 2 2007, 12:29 PM
I put rule 74 as demanded instead of encouraged.
And 75 as should instead of could.
3 - Everyone will confess. No Exceptions.
4 - If there is ever an exception to Rule 3, it will be Nicole Wallace.
40 - The more ridiculous the hat, the more likely Barek owns it.
I keep updating the list on the first page so there's not endless reposts of it. Check there for changes!
Also you're fine jumping in with whatever. It may not all make the final cut, but we'll do our best to make it work.
Also we've got tons of rules for G/E so lets make sure we give Logan, his partners, the captains, Carver, & Rodgers some love too. After all they are part of the show.
Example: 45 - Carver always wants moar evidence. ALWAYS.
