the Savants*: DO NOT WRITE/REVEAL YOUR RULES

OK, I LOVE writing rules. I am also a Savants*. I want to give people a good heads up on things that annoy me and that will likely get them kicked out. The reason I do this for is that I figure if you don’t like my rules, you’ll keep your distance. The Normal Person* don’t feel that way. They adapt to your rules and then annoy the heck out of you because they don’t really BREAK your rules, but they can’t truly BE what you want, because they’re FOLLOWING your rules instead of living them whether you’re there or not. You know they’re changing for you into whatever you want, and that is boring to you. You want people who ARE what you like without having to CHANGE for you… And then reveal things you didn’t expect, letting you grow with them, but if they only adapt to YOUR rules, they’ll never grow nor will they help you grow.

Stop writing rules for the Normal Person* to follow. I just updated my sim covenant as follows:

There are no rules on this sim. You are solely responsible for your own actions. Others may be annoying.

On that note, if you annoy me, under the rule of no rules, I may ban you because I pay for the right.

I took the security of following the rules out of it. People must work out of their own charm and attractiveness. They can’t annoy you around the rules, forcing you to update your rules again for the future. The Normal Person* will break every rule you don’t state, simply to notice how much you love them despite them being annoying.

the Savants* accept this anyway, as they know some people will like them, some people will hate them. They’ll approach you with caution anyway. They’ll FIND OUT what is cool with you and what isn’t. They know your rules for them may be different from their rules for other people. The Normal Person* hate that. They want everyone to function under the same rules and to be accepted and loved under predictable rules. What gives you love, what makes you unlovable. But things are not that simple, and we have to live accordingly.

I love writing rules, as I said, but in all my life I haven’t written rules that work 100%. There’s always that little loophole that somebody is going to use to get in  – following the rules but STILL annoying the crap out of you simply by being who they are.

Stop tying your hands with your own rules.
