Isn't it about time we made the list? Not just any list - I'm talking of the list to end all lists. A set of guidelines if you will, to delineate the once unwritten understanding of among the Malazan peoples? A rule book of a sort, perhaps, a kind of encyclopedia of the Malazan culture.

I propose we make THE MALAZAN LAWS. A list of things that any user of the Malazan Forums should know and never ever question. A list of the things we love. The things we hate. Hard truths and fond pleasures. Malazan Constants. Malazan Beliefs.

Below people will put forth suggestions for things to be added to the list, and we will discuss and decide what should be included. They can be bookforum related, they can be Inn related, they can be forum related, so long as they are Malazan they can be nominated and if a consensus can be agreed upon they will be entered here.

This opening post will serve as an update and summary of what has been introduced into the MALAZAN LAWS.

The growing list

I understand and support most of what is already written.

but where on earth does "DO NOT ANGER THE GAZEBO. " come from? I must have completely missed that one.

Also, I never expected any ransom for it.

Yes. This needs to be incorporated. Allthough it has lost some of its splendor since Kallor stopped taunting us with his inside knowledge.

I don't think Twillight has yet to earn enough scorn that it deseres a place here. But seeing as they're planning to make 5 films, it'll probably make it eventually.

Timeline is not imortant added to list.

I like the first two, not sure about the last one though...

[HoosierDaddy]

Eh, I agree it's weak. But, I mean, that shot a lot of Wikipedia's credit with me. 'Cause it's so ridiculously WRONG.
