Healthy Rule: Anyone playing with =Food Fight= weapons must NOT eat any of the ammo.

Nobody ever really cleans the insides of those guns.

Tiny Rule: Players who are unusually short and cannot reach their controls without assistance will eventually track down anyone who took advantage of this and pelt them with NERF weapons.

Don't let them know where you live.

The rule "no back-shooting'' still brings joy and a lot of drama to my head lol.
Mostly known on competitive/private/pug servers.

I feel it gets the flow out of those straight symmetric CTF maps.
I can imagine playing competitive pug-games only, you get tired of walking the same bit by bit, uncountable times, esp on those type of CTF maps.

Rule Omega: In light of social distancing, try to kill other players from at least 6 feet away.

No more killing up close where you might get splashed with gibs.

Rules 4-ish: The military Skaarj units are capable of using the same weapons players use... do not leave your weapons where they can get them.

Addendum: Unless, of course, it's Deathmatch and you've got a safe place to duck into while Skaarj Military kill all the other players.

Bot Exception Rule: Not everybody likes bots, but when facing a monster too strong to defeat alone it's often good to run back to where bots are so they can kill whatever it was for you...

...or let bots get killed a lot while fighting it so when it's done with them you can finish it off.

The ONE RULE's drunk cousin: While they often seem grumpy, DO NOT hug the titans in MonsterHunt to cheer them up.

It would be bad.
