A rules librarian is an individual who has scoured the rule-books of a game to find every advantage and every loophole that they can to "empower" their character.
Most often found in Role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, but variants can also be found online playing MMORPG.
These people suck the fun out of any game due to their obstinate refusal to actually get into the spirit of the game and play a ‘character’.
Their main motivation is to ‘win’ and if they don’t, or other players enforce the spirit of the game rather than the rule they will generally sulk or threaten to leave.
On dealing with a Rules Librarian
1. don’t play with them
2. if you already are – kill their characters off until they learn, or stop playing

Rules Librarian rolls dice...
GM:
"Ok, so you swing at the 50 foot tall dragon and strike a nasty blow to it's leg"
Rules Librarian:
"Actually, because I rolled over 95% of my base strength score; coupled with my level and weapon specialization, and my Backstab bonus as a thief, I get an automatic triple critical, so seeing as this is a Blue dragon, with a maximum of 200 Hit points, I would actually kill it"
GM:
"It's a dragon, you can't kill it with a dagger"
Rules Librarian
"It's in the rule book; Page 60, 193, and 246"
(other players groan)

A "rules player" is an individual in a workplace who creates (carves out) their own effective working space and flow based on their workplaces rules, policies, and protocols. A rules player can find multiple ways of completing tasks and could even manipulate loopholes in the workplace to their, or their clients advantage.
The opposite of a rules player is a "rules slave."

Let's say a company standard goal is the get the answer 10.
In order to reach that goal, the company says you should do 5+5, but never 9+1.
A "rules player" finds another way of reaching the goal by doing 8+2, or 7+3, or 4+6.
The "rules player" later discovers a loophole that says they can do 5x2, or 2.5x4.
A "rules slave" will not attempt to do anything except 5+5.

Get the rules player mug.1. Never EVER wear a tshirt of the band you are seeing.
2. If you do not know the support bands, dancing is NOT allowed – a headbob and foot tap is all that’s necessary.
3. Taking your shirt off is not allowed – tis ultra gay.
4. Moshing is for gays – UNLESS it’s a Slayer concert or some shit.
5. Never ever ever just stand there with your girlfriend hugging for the whole damn concert and never ever move out of some poor guys way who’s stuck behind you.
6. Don’t get annoyed if people dance into you…it’s a gig…EXPECT IT (unless they don’t comply with rule 3.)
7. If a gig Tshirt is more than 12 quid, it’s not worth buying.
8. If there is a hot girl, you have permission to move in.
9. When meeting band members avoid clichés and being overly obsessive. Pulling out an A2 poster of the band and asking them to sign it is not really cool. A handshake will suffice and maybe the signing of the ticket. Don’t act like you know the band unless you do, that’s creepy.
10. Heckling can be fun but don’t overdo it. Make it audible. Shout “YORKSHIRE” sparingly to a northern band as it can be misinterpreted as “YOUR SHIT.”
11. If you’re not really a fan of any of the bands, please don’t bother turning up. Sell your ticket to a fan and they can enjoy it instead of you. KTHNX.
