No flames bigger than your finger. No tampering with any sort of fire paraphernalia
No climbing on roofs or roof-like objects
Nothing in or out of windows (no defenestration!)

You are responsible for your and your guests’ bodily fluids.
Stay away from the sprinklers!! No hallway or lounge sports! 50 gal/min of poop-gross water for 20 mins = No friends
