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!

Thou shalt contradict what is previously known about your character.

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.

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