Rule of Thumb:
If you're writing a rule in an attempt to break the game as town or make it look like you're trying to break the game to appear town, it is going to fail. If you're writing a rule that is ridiculous or requires players to do something ridiculous that might get them banned, probated, or otherwise, it will fail.

If you're writing a fun rule, it will be successful.

Rule of Thumb to the Rule of Thumb:
If you're 'that kid' at recess, your rules will fail. If you're that kid at recess, your rules will succeed.

##create Sirens in the Whaling zone. These beautiful creatures are evil ladies who like hang out in the ocean all day singing songs to lure sailors overboard their ships and into the terrible sea. The crew of a whaling voyage may use earplugs or other items to protect themselves from the sirens, but the captain of the ship either must throw himself overboard the ship and die, or tie himself to the mast of the ship and suffer 1d6 insanity points, because he is a badass and wants to hear what these sirens are all about. Sirens will activate 30 minutes after the special whaling voyage begins.

Listen up you lad. I like your gumption and your desire to attack whales but I'm made for walking the dingy streets of London, not barfing on a ship! Best regards on your voyage.

From the bones of the fallen, KhyrosFinalCut meticulously crafts armor fit for the gods. Greaves, bracers, a helm and a pristine white dagger are carved, spun, hammered, heated, and pressed into perfect shapes. After months of work, he stares at his beautiful creation - taking in a sense of pride and satisfaction that his labor finally paid off.

"COPY THAT," screams Ernie, pointing the PC-30 Duplicatron 9000 MX at the armor on a happenstance run through town.

The robot bellows a response in perfect monotone: Mr. Ernie, to copy life, you must give life. END OF LINE.

"My arm, then. My arm for the armor."

The PC-30 Duplicatron 9000 MX whirs and squeals. In a swift motion, it chops off Ernie's arm and ingests it into its mechanical core. Clunking, thunking, and scratching follows for what feels like ten minutes until the PC-30 starts to give us its output. Like a 3D printer, the device perfect duplicates the whale armor and dagger.

Ernie, not knowing what to do with the right bracer, decides to use it as a breastplate.

A fight is clearly about to begin. Would anyone else like to perform an action related to this fight?

Ernie.

##begin combat -- as described by KFC

KFC glares at the machine crafted replica of his detailed handiwork, and he lunges forth at Ernie in his ersatz armor, all but blinded by rage and misses.

KFC staggers through the space that would until have been recently occupied by Ernie's arm, and whirls around in time to catch Ernie's blade with his left bracer.

KFC shouts as Ernie parries a stab meant for his gut and slams his greave-covered shin into KFC’s knee.

Ernie lifts his dagger high as KFC collapses. KFC grins, holds out his empty hand, and speaks “Kaeru!” and the glyph of eternal ownership on Ernie’s dagger flares bright green and the dagger wrenches itself from his hand, and handle first into KFC’s.

“Carved that for a reason,” KFC says and slams both daggers into Ernie’s thigh.

##begin combat -- as described by Ernie

Ernie had lifted his dagger prepared to show mercy, but KFC overpowered him with dark magic. Ernie sits, clutching his wounds knowing that his opponent didn't win out of power, but out of fear; knowing that his opponent's heart harbors darkness and pain, not victory. Ernie looks at the band and wishes they'd start playing a different tune: one that can save KFC's soul. It's no wonder it takes a guy with no arm to see the peace in disarmament.
