From it, an entire volume on etiquette in a modern polite society flows.The reason why there are so many complaints about the breach of Principle #1 by fellow players is not that the offending player does not know this condcut is in violation of Principle #1. Any adult knows full well when they are acting in a manner not in accordance with this principle. The offending player who does so simply does not care that they are in violation of the principle, as it is not important to them.Not caring about a rule is a very different matter from not knowing about it. It is so great a distinction that no rule  - written or unwritten - can ever sufficiently address the difference.Principle #2: Have Fun and Be Fun to have Fun WithA correlation of Principle #1. Gaming is about the participants having fun. Your goal is to do so while increasing the fun of others, if at all possible. Never have fun when that pursuit decreases the fun of others.From these two simple statements, all unwritten rules of gaming can be deduced on a logical, common-sense basis.It really is that simple.</blockquote>
