Rule Zero/Rule One?

Looking at the new 'Rule Zero' entries... My original definition is the one that's now #2, "Never give the GM ideas".

Now, the one that's currently #1 certainly is part of most games... but I'd say it's not really as fundamental as "Don't give the GM ammo to screw you." :)

So, I'm thinking, make the current #2 the only one under 'Rule Zero', and move #1 to 'Rule One'.

What do you think? --Lord Knockwood the Mad 22:13, 17 May 2005 (PDT)

I put that in simply because, although "the GM may override any rule" is covered by "the Golden rule", the term "Rule Zero" is also used to refer to it. 62.3.233.118

Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies

"Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies" doesn't originate from Something Positive. I'd heard the saying used many years prior among gamers. A Google search reveals a number of threads where this is discussed, with a large number of people confirming that they heard it at least as far back as the late 80s or early 90s.
