Title: The Commandments of Dark Shadows
Post by: IluvBarnabas on September 02, 2008, 07:42:42 PM
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.

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.

I love it, ILB!

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

Thanks, Midnite! [ghost_smiley]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

Thou shalt go into warp drive at a moment's notice, to cover vast distances on foot should the script demand it.

Thou shalt wander through Eagle Hill Cemetary (and the Collins Mausoleum) on your way to anyplace you may be going, even if it's not really on the way.

Thou shalt not explain your reasoning when trying to persuade someone of something, but instead thou must repeat "You must!" over and over again.

With apologies to the author I can't remember the name of,  of the list I cannot remember the name of right now:

Thou shalt look exactly like ancestors dead hundreds of years, but not even remotely resemble anyone in your own family.

Thou shalt not understand.

i'm afraid we have a stalemate here as i gave a commandment:   

Thou shalt understand.   

hm.    what do we do.   

oh, okay, i know:   

Thou shalt disregard that the first "understand" commandment as never happening because someone went back in time and DID NOT drop Victoria Winters on her  head in the foundling home!

Well, your actual wording was...
Thou shalt know what it means.

Thou shalt contradict what is previously known about your character.

HIGHlarious because your basically quoting a certain characters words in the early eps I am watching.  This is a cute game guys!!
