rules player

Alternatively known as a niche player.

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.

Rule 64 of the Player's Rulebook 

Rule 64 states that the act of "bragging" about female "conquests" is disallowed. This is due to the negative global image such a depravity places on the art, as well as the decrease in social worth for the individual as those who are extremely successful feel no need to broadcast the fact.
