...that I learned from playing Spiderweb Software games.

1. The more difficult the challenge, the greater the reward.
2. Be nice to people, and good things will befall you.
3. Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a reasonable facsimile.
4. Hard work helps, but few things can compete with good old fashioned random luck.
5. Friends are a big help in times of need.
6. Small packages can hold big surprises.
7. Rediculously large packages can sometimes hold quite a bit of disappointment.
8. There's always more than one way to skin a kitty, or a fyora, or an ogre, or a thahd, or a troglo, or...
9. The line between good and evil is often blurred.
10. Be careful what you say to people, sarcasm is often lost on Takers.
11. There's no shame in backing down when you're outgunned.
12. It may seem like everyone is out to get you, and you're right.

Add your own quirky or serious thoughts!

13. List topics should be a capital crime.
14. Use of the word "quirky" should waive protection against cruel and unusual punishment.

Sorry to sound like an old fogey, but I'm a little disturbed people are getting their moral education from a computer game, however amusing.

21. In list topics, counting is optional.
22. No matter what you post, you're going to have angry people calling for its death and possible yours along with it.

—Alorael, who ought to compile a list of every entry from every topic like this ever created on Spiderweb. And maybe a list of the number of times he has used the word ever.

23. Some people are just plain mean.
24. If you don't have something nice to say, try running away.
25. If your pants weigh 40 pounds, find some different pants.

Not necessarily that I learned those things from Spiderweb the first time, just that they are things one could learn.

But these topics do serve as a form of entertainment for some people. From what I've seen this will either die violently in the beginning or many pages from now it will fade into nothingnes.

I'll probably add some later

*jumps in, aiming at people with a riot shotgun*

"Nobody move! I have temporarly hijacked this topic in order to ask my own stupid questions (that I didn't think deserved an own topic)."

"Why are everyone here having violent thoughts about people from Finland? Are any of these...umm...less nice people on this forum from Finland? I don't get it, but it's starting to get annoying! And I refuse to think it's all my fault, either!"

"There! Answer this! I will now leave but...ahem... I'll be back!

*flees through the window, leaving nothing but confusion and hysterically laughing people behind*

There are some lovely people here from Finland. The Pekonen Posse has gone quiet too.
Also, there are wolves.

20. (no, really, it is, go back and count) Anyone named Aloreal will always have some sort of witty or entertaining signature to a post.

21. Pointless topics will either die swift deaths or somehow become popular enough to survive for several weeks. (just look at the old Xian Skull! topic).

22. Someone always wants to spoil your fun, usually by attempting to participate. *cough* Flaming Blade and his RP killing postings *cough*.

23. In General, you can usually find something that belongs in Miscellaneous, The Forum Which Is No More.

24. You can always run from your enemies, but they will always know exactly where to find you, no matter how well you hide from them.

25. As long as it doesn't need charges, anything you can pick up is completely indestuctible until you use it.

26. You can always re-load if something goes wrong.

28. Jeff Vogel is not a God.

29. Since Jeff Vogel is both God and not God, Jeff Vogel does not exist.

30. Since Jeff Vogel does not exist, these boards also do not exist.

31. Therefore we are all figments of our own imaginations.

34. Anyone writing Aloreal had better not expect a happy response from me.

35. No matter how bad things get, at least you know you're not locked in a small room with many GIFTS.

36. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

37. Numbering your secentences dose not make them lessions you have learned from SW games.

38. Lessions that contradict each other only make the Lessions we havent learned more imporntent.

Can we talk about something more interesting, like what we could learn from Godzilla movies.

1)If you are in NewJersey and see Godzilla get the Hell out of there.

2)Learn how to drive a tank.

3)Don't light off Atomic bombs neare a Harbor-river, Godzilla might be sleeping there.

That's odd, I don't recall Godzilla ever being in New Jersey. He did make big mess of New York City though...

n = number of current lesson (I've lost count)

n+1. Sometimes pants have Uranium in them and make you sick.

n+2. There really are stores where people sell nothing but gloves.

n+3. You should always examine every mundane item that you come across, because you never know if it will actually be slightly different(+).

Also very scary. IMAGE(Spiderweb Software Boards Everything I ever needed to know about life___files/frown.gif)

EDIT: What scares me more is that if you really got your moral judgment from a computer game, then what about those guys who play the GTA series or FPSs, excessively. Now thats scary.

I have a two-months-old computer, with all the candy inside. Wanna ask that question again?

And Postal 2 happens to suck. I prefer GTA Vice City's motorcycles.
