The Commandments of Dark Shadows

[IluvBarnabas]

I just thought of another game, I thought it would be fun if we listed commandments that our beloved characters should have liked to have heeded.


Thou shalt not sleep with a gorgeous blonde witch then marry her, lest you make her mad and she curses you as a vampire for eternity.

[markyboo]

Though shalt not marry a young gypsy girl and then desert her, lest you incur the wrath of her older sister who shall place a werewolf curse on thee.

[Midnite]

I love it, ILB!

Thou shalt not venture into secret rooms containing chained coffins, lest you become anemic and enslaved for your trouble.

[IluvBarnabas]

Thanks, Midnite!

Thou shalt not commit a hit-and-run accident then pin it on another fellow, lest he come back ten years later out to destroy you and your family.

[Gerard]

Thou shalt not enter a secret panel and getting lost in meandering corridors and going around and around and around and around and around and around until thou ends up locked in a room no one knows is there.

Gerard

[Lydia]

Thou shalt not beseech somebody to bury thy murder victim for thee lest he cheat thee by burying a bunch of clothes (or something) instead.  If thou wantest something done right, go thou and do it thyself.

[tripwire]

Thou shalt not enter Mauseleoums, lest thou suffer cracks upon thine head, exploding light bulbs upon thine head, or suffer the wrath of thine incestors.

[Gerard]

Thou shalt not have little or young girl children move into thine house, for whenever thou allowest, ghoulies and ghosties and long-leggedy beasties and things that go bump in the night shall surely followest.

Gerard

[MagnusTrask]

Thou shalt not speak in terms of thees, thous, and thines lest ye fall prey to all manner of various thee thou and thine related supernatural shenanigans.   Speak modern damn it!

Remember you heard it here first!   I'm not responsible for any anachronistic-language-related zombieism.

[Mark Rainey]

Thou shalt not touch thine hair. Period.

[adamsgirl]

Should thou be a woman, thou shalt not wear dresses with sleeves, even in the dead of winter.

BTW, LOVE everyone's commandments so far!

[Willie Loomis]

Thou shalt know what it means.


Thou shalt not commit ancestors....pttttt, ancestors....incest. 


Thou shalt not look at the prompter.

[Joy Collins]

Thou shalt not touch thine hair. Period.

Thou shalt not enter Mauseleoums, lest thou suffer cracks upon thine head, exploding light bulbs upon thine head, or suffer the wrath of thine incestors.

Those are my favorites so far!

These are wonderful, everyone!

[Mark Rainey]

Don't forget the underrated but essential "Thou must."

[Gerard]

Thou shalt always introduced thine self as a cousin from England, never from other far and distance lands, be they Paris or Des Moines.
