The Silver Rule

The Silver Rule is so-named because it is similar to the well-known Golden Rule. However, it is a bit easier to do. The Silver Rule is simply, "Don't be a douche bag." Instead of having to do something like the Golden Rule, all you have to do is not be a douche bag.

I hate that Brandon, he just doesn't live by The Silver Rule.

Aquaman Rule 

As seen in sport and other pursuits, the setting and context of an action can mitigate or nullify entirely an unambiguously and unabashedly homoerotic act. Much as a pool full of Speedo clad men climbing over each other or a grassy field full of men in tight pants capriciously running about slapping each other on the ass can be excused under the thinly veiled guise of being water polo or baseball, claiming that the Aquaman rule is in effect (before, after or during) makes any act, no matter how ‘gay’, totally ‘chill’. The philosophical basis governing this that if you do any thing in the water it’s totally not gay because, you know, humans live on land.

“Hey did you guys ever notice how that one time I made out with a dude in the hot tub at the LXA house that it totally wasn’t gay because, you know, humans live on land… And like that’s the Aquaman rule, and it’s on Urban so its legit… and I’m totally into chicks?”

New life rule 

A community-made rule common in almost all RP servers in the popular standalone mod Garry's Mod

Each time you die you start a new life--all your previous memories are lost.

It is the most important Roleplaying rule of them all, it is what keeps the game at RP level. It would not be fun if a crook kills a cop and that same cop returns over and over again.

Though a lot of admins and players have problems making MingeBags understand and follow this rule.

*Cop knocks down door* "HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT MY HIDEOUT? NEW LIFE RULE DUDE"

5 Second Rule 

A myth that says that if you drop food on the floor, and pick it up within 5 seconds then it's okay to eat. But research done at University of Illinois has disproved this, and says that food picked up in under 5 seconds had a significant amount of bacteria on it.

"Ewwwww! Your gonna eat that? It's been on the floor!!" "Yeah, 5 second rule."
