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
