For the Entire House
1. The Supremacy rule - Big Brothers are supreme. Posts praising Big Brother are necessary once a day
2. Each housemate must make at least one post in each section each day. If a housemates forgets to post in each section but their helper doesn't, the helper's posts count. (note: some sections have stricter posting policies)
3. No editing posts allowed. The only exception is rule threads. We will catch you in the security log if you edit any other posts. Also no deleting posts.
The following rules apply only to the people they are named after
- The Pandora rule - Now it's really time to be confusing. In every post you must mention either Elementary, Jonny Lee Miller, or Lucy Liu
- The Sixteen rule - you must somehow include the word "fan" in each post you make.
- The Pen rule - no more extra rules for you because I feel really bad for you for first getting a helper that post you points and then losing 130 points for not posting in blue. You will have the chance to gain back one point for every post you make that increases your post count (you're at 89 now). Just make sure none of those points break rules and undo your hard work!
- The BSam rule - sometimes you are really mean to yourself and don't deserve it, so no more putting yourself down. Also you must pay yourself a sincere compliment every day.

Task Room Rules:
Every post must contain a task for the next person who posts in that thread. If you double post then you must complete your own task and come up with another. Tasks must be completed before posting. No tasks can include instruction which break the rules of the other sections.
Kitchen Rules:
1. You must post one recipe in this section every day. No repeated recipes.
2. The word delicious must be included in every post.
3. Use the spoiler tag to include a secret ingredient in every recipe.
Living Room Rules:
In this room we use British English - Words are to be spelled the British way such as colour, flavour etc.
Each post must contain three smileys used appropriately to convey an emotion.
pandora rule- double posting is mandatory. there must be at least two posts in a row by the one housemate (or a housemate and their helper)
however the content of both posts must be different.
oh, and most importantly, have fun!
Bathroom Rules:
A. all posts in this section are to be reasonably coherent and
must be on topic to the conversation
II. between you and your helper you must
post in at least 3 different threads
residing in this section
each day
THREE. all posts in this section are
to be a minimum of five lines long (one word lines are acceptable)
you are to form a workable acrostic in each post (doesn't
need to be on topic or mean anything, but needs to form at least
one full word in english using the first letter of each line)
Bedroom Rules:
Shhh! Can't you see that people are trying to sleep in here?
Use your whisper font (8pt) when you post in the bedroom!
Pool Rules:
1. A pool party is a great way to celebrate the end of anything so we should have a massive bash for the end of bb. i'll make the thread and to make sure we have enough food for everyone, everyone must bring one item of food to the thread every day. all dishes must be vegetarian of course
2. Sun screen is vital so nobody burns. Sun screen lasts for three posts so make sure you state that you're putting on screen and remember to reapply.
3. Keeping the pool area clean is everyones responsibility so everyone needs to do their part by doing one pool chore every day in any thread. this can be checking the chlorine levels, putting away pool noodles, ect but you must do a different chore each day and there is no need to do something someone else did.
4. Making sure the pool is used for partying is everyones responsibility so you must have a drink in one hand at all times. tell us what you're drinking each post, you can repeat drinks just not back to back.
5. Marco Pollo is a sacred pool tradition. if bee or i yell FISH OUT OF WATER then you have three hours to quote our post and show that you are still in the pool.
6. Chicken is my fav pool game. it involves supporting your teammate on your shoulders so for our version you will emotionally support your team member by responding to one of their comments in this section each day and complimenting them.
7. There have been spottings of a kanima near the pool. if bee and i notice signs of kanima poisoning we'll helpfully let you know. kanimas paralyze their victims. if you get paralyzed, you cannot post again in this section until your buddy rescues you from drowning. to save your buddy from the kanima you must say "dont be such a sourwolf" in the thread they were paralyzed in and then they will respond with "im the alpha". linda and mrm can help out with this rule if they want meaning they can paralyze anyone, including bee and i.
i love that i got the pool section because it was perf for making a teen wolf rule. HE SAVED HIM FROM DROWNING BECAUSE HE WANTED TO AND DEREK DIDNT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE NICE THINGS.
8. Color Game - Guess a color to avoid getting your head ducked under water. Do this every time you post in a thread centered around a water activity (spa time, splash splash, pool volleyball ect) or in threads with pool in the title or first post and dont guess a color you have already guessed
9. Pools have water and waves are squiggy. You know what else is squiggy? ~~~~
Use a squiggy around a word in every post. The squigglies should only really be put around a single word, and this word must be an adjective or verb for it to be ~squiggled~ to full effect. Adverbs, proper nouns, conjunctions are all somewhat acceptable. NOUNS ARE NOT ALLOWED to have squigglies around them. This rule applies as of 5th of November 17:49 GMT -Bee
10. we are all like one big swim team or something and the next swimmer has to pick off where the previous one left off or whatever. so make sure the first letter of your post starts with the last letter of the post before you. 12"48 central 11/7/2013 rule made by nicole age 18
Pools have a lot of safety rules, so you wont be penalized for rules 1, 3, 5 if your buddy does them instead of you. Also only one member of the team is required to compliment the other each day.
Finally, the pool section is only open whenever a lifeguard is present to keep everyone safe. Luckily Bee and i are certified! If this thread says LIFEGUARD ON DUTY feel free to post. If we are OFF DUTY, be careful. If anyone catches you making a post when we aren't present or the sign is switched to off duty, they can quote the post and report you. If someone successfully catches a rule breaker they will be forgiven for violating a rule, or will be given 10 points for each rule breaker caught if they didnt violate a rule by the end of the game if the bbs allow that. (also can bee have mod powers so she can switch the lifeguard sign?)
Garden Rules:
We have plenty of fruits and vegetables growing in our garden but there's a lack of flowers. You must plant a flower every time you post, telling us its Latin name. Just make sure you don't repeat anyone else's choice. We want as much variety as possible.
This list will be updated with more rules at any time. You will not be notified of the update.
