180. Take a deep interest in the things of the supernatural. The superhuman, paranormal, supernatural and esoteric are your most likely of foes to face in the brave new world that lies ahead. So study up, and get savvy. Quick.

181. Unless otherwise decided by Justin or other presiding members, the Superpower List will not dispense superpowers to any new members following the initiation of New Beginning. Powers will only be dispensed to people who are members prior to such time. In other words, join the List now if you intend to be anywhere close to prepared, later on.
181a. Be sure to gain powers carefully and diligently on the site, prior to New Beginning's initiation. Only certain combinations will be useful.
181b. You might want to check out some useful power combinations. These and others will likely come in very handy for life during the New Beginning.

182. If you don't have superpowers, you'd better get good at being normal. (Hope I haven't added this one already; let me know if I have)

183. Pretty/Handsome/Good-Looking people are often just as deadly as helpless/weak/wimpy-looking people. Avoid at all costs.

184. Study up on many different languages. And for those too difficult to remember, keep a lot of books handy.

185. Study up on many different sciences. And for those too difficult to remember, keep a lot of books handy.

186. Study up on a lot of random crap. And for things too difficult to remember, keep a lot of books handy.

187. Tired of carrying around all those books? Make fast friends with a hammerspace.

188. Sex is your WORST enemy; among the fastest ways to get you killed. Horror movie rules apply. None, unless, you're ready to die.

189. Cling hard to your religion. HARD. Don't have one (and aren't a reality bender)? Try out a few. One of them's bound to be right.
189a. The gods exist. Yes. Even Atheismo.

190. Cynicism will get you killed faster than sex. Wulf doesn't like cynicism.
190a. Sacrasm...maybe doesn't get you killed quite as fast. Wulf likes sarcasm.

191. All rules are void, including this one.

192. Zale Co is always happy to hire new employees. We value many different skill sets, offer on the job training, the best health insurance this side of Golden Apples and protection from a variety of powerful threats.

193. When offered a choice between a Red Pill and a Blue Pill, it's best to choose the red pill.
193a. Then again, it might be nice to remain blissfully ignorant. Take the blue pill.
193b. On second thought, yeah, just run away. Either pill is likely gonna cause you nothing but trouble.
194. Beware of ANYBODY wearing costumes. More than likely, they either have assumed (or will assume) the role of the character portrayed by the costume.
195. Stack up on Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering cards, and get good at playing quick. You never know when the magic and abilities and monsters within may come in handy. On the card, or off.

198. NB isn't a game. So Wheaton's Law doesn't apply.

199. Save the drama for your mama. (There is no whining in New Beginning. No powerful rank of superhuman or supernatural entity likes to be pestered by your moaning, groaning and complaining. It's a good way to get killed. Quick.)

200. Trust your senses, until they prove themselves untrustworthy (or until such time you suspect them of untrustworthiness...)

[Celadon's Penultimate]

(Somebody mind going through, and helping me replace repeat rules with new rules?)

201. Pay close attention to your body. Any subtle changes could be vitally important to know. Stomach ache? Could be an alien growing inside you. Headache? Could be a brain mole. We superhumans are tricksy like that.

202. If its made of quartz, don't touch it. In fact, just back away.
203. Quartz shows up a lot, its not always harmful, but its best to assume its not just an inanimate lump of crystal.
204. Lasers and Quartz don't mix....ever.
205. Quartz is pretty...too pretty....way too pretty.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

206. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat! (Unless you're a time manipulator/traveler, time is not on your side. Ever. Try to get things done in a quick and efficient manner.)

208. Never take time to sleep. You don't want to miss the parties unless you're a time traveler, then you sleep whenever you want.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

209. Among the top capabilities in a reality bender's skill set, are finding loopholes.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

209a. Unless they're a miscreant.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

210. Reality benders are strange by nature. It is quite hard to impress them.

211. It is even harder to scare them.

212. Hardest of all, is killing them.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

213. Its easier just to befriend them (or woo them)

214) Feeding a cat coffee is never a good idea.
