Library Rules
 

Ah, the library!
A place full of knowledge, full of wonder! You can find all kinds of stories and advice here. It truly is a place of miracles. But in order for everyone to play nicely, there have to be rules.

Some of them make perfect sense. For example you're allowed to


Others? Well... not so much. Or do you know why it's forbidden to


Nevertheless staff wants you to enjoy your stay. So if you follow the rules, you will be rewarded with event currency.



How to play:

Do an activity, any activity of your choice. Of course you want to stay within the rules - but first you might have to figure out what they are.

(fill in the blanks with what you'd like to do)

Post here in the thread. While I will not directly reveal the library rules, I will tell you whether or not your activity is allowed in the library. All allowed ones have something in common, but it's up to you to figure it out.


Example (not the actual rule): everything starting with R is allowed. Therefore you may read, run and recycle, but not write or sit. Yes, ironically you may not stand either. Who said rules are supposed to make sense?

1. Use the form in the first post to play.
2. After you posted an activity you want to do in the library, two other people need to post before you can go again.
3. Library rules are subject to change over time. Especially when people already seem to have them figured out.
4. You will be rewarded with 5 lost books for everything you do that stays within library rules. Even the weird stuff. Librarians don't judge.

Nope, sorry. Please do not drink coffee in the library. You could stain the books.

Yes, you may play with dragons. But please make sure they don't accidentally cause a fire.

Yes, you can have nibbles and sips. Just, eh - remember it's not allowed to drink coffee.

Yes, you may get a copy of your birth certificate. The copying machine is right over there.

Yes, you can eat an oreo. Just don't leave any crumbs inside the books.

That sounds like a lot of work... but yes, you're certainly allowed to take copious notes without using a copy machine.

Yes indeed, you're allowed to place water balloons on the floor to make a colorful but dangerous minefield.

Yessss. >xp
Am I allowed to wash my ankles in the sink?

What part of- you know what, nevermind. Yes, you may draw accurate human anatomy so you can get better at drawing people.

I guess ghosts deserve the right to read too. Yes, you can conduct a seance in the spare room.

Personal hygiene is important for your health and wellbeing. Therefore yes, you can wash your ankles in the sink.

Am I allowed to ______Rock and Roll_____?
(fill in the blanks with what you'd like to do)

In? Why not on? Or knit a chair to hide in and/or sit on?

Books rock per definition, don't they? Yes, you're allowed to rock and roll.

Sorry, pet free zone. No, you're not allowed to bring a cat.

Yes, you're allowed to knit in one of the chairs. And you're also allowed to knit a chair, should you wish to do so.

What do you think this is, fruit bowl punch-o-rama? No, you can't throw oranges at people who laugh.

Am I allowed to scream?

Honestly, I've forgotten the point of this game and am just having fun seeing what random things we can't and can't do without trying to figure anything out.
XD

I scream, you scream we all scream for... oh, wait. No, you're not allowed to scream in the library.

O_O Kitty! DON'T transform into a magical girl!

*Plays with a dragon in the colourful mine field.*

Am I allowed to bring my dog in because he's a trained service bro to improve youth reading?

It might still be within the rules to pole dance, but nope - no strip tease in the library.

Sounds like a fashionable seat. However, the rules forbid to put fishnets on the chairs.

Somewhere an uptight reader will hate you for this when looking for the instruction manual to fold socks more efficiently - but yes. You can move fantasy books to the non-fiction section.

Yes, you may drink V8 from a spill-proof cup.

Everyone needs the right motivation in their life! Yes, you can certainly pin Metal Band Posters to the walls to use as motivational posters.

With the power of literature I shall punish the jock! Yes, you're allowed to transform into a magical girl.

Not only allowed to, but in fact encouraged. Yes, you may waste time browsing Trisphee.

While I believe the credentials of your dog, no. You're not allowed to bring your dog in because he's a trained service bro to improve youth reading.

(Yay!! 8D That's one thing I am allowed to do so far!)
