1. Thou Shalt Not Camp: Killers must respect the sanctity of the hook and maintain a generous distance, allowing for fair and timely rescues.

2. Thou Shalt Forgive Missteps: Any survivor who misses a skill check is merely testing the killer's alertness and should not be punished.

3. Respect the Pallet: As pallets are our only means of defense, thou shalt not begrudge us their use, nor shall you break them with undue haste.

4. Honor the Unwritten Rules of the Flashlight: When a flashlight is used, it is not out of malice but necessity, and thou shalt accept its blinding light with grace.

5. Thou Shalt Allow Self-Care: Healing ourselves is a right, not a privilege. Interruptions are considered deeply disrespectful.

6. Permit Fair Play at the Hatch: The hatch is a sacred escape route for the last remaining survivor. Thou shalt step aside and allow a fair game's end.

7. Generators Are Sacred Grounds: Thou shalt not interrupt a survivor mid-repair, for they are performing sacred duties to the Entity.

8. Respect the Struggle: Understand that the wiggle is a sign of life's struggle and is to be respected. Thou shalt not be irked by our attempts to free ourselves.

9. Allow Decisive Opportunities: If struck by a Decisive Strike, take it as a compliment of our skill and perseverance, and not as a personal slight.

10. The Chase Is a Dance: Thou shalt remember that a chase is a dance between equals, and both hunter and hunted should enjoy the thrill without malice.

1. Thou Shalt Not Loop: Survivors must forsake the art of looping, walking directly towards me without any deceptive maneuvers around obstacles.

2. Honor Thy Killer's Space: Grant me a respectful five seconds of solitude after each hooking, free from the interference of flashlights and body-blocking.

3. The Basement Is My Sanctuary: Once a survivor descends into my hallowed basement, they shall consider it their new home.

4. Cease All Labor During The Chase: As I engage in a sacred chase, all other survivors shall halt their work on generators and bear witness.

5. The Clumsy Shall Be Chosen: Any survivor who dares disrupt the silence with a failed skill check shall be next in line for my embrace.

6. Decisive Strikes Are An Abomination: Employing a Decisive Strike is a sin, and the penance shall be swift retribution.

7. Healing Is For The Weak: Survivors shall refrain from healing, embracing their inevitable fate with dignity and grace.

8. Banish The Light: Flashlights are forbidden artifacts. Use of such will incur my focused wrath until atonement is achieved.

9. Nullify Survivor Offerings: Offerings brought by survivors to alter the realm in their favor shall be deemed void and without merit.

10. The Hatch Is A Fallacy: The legend of the hatch is just that—a legend. Let no survivor hold hope of such an escape under my watch.

For Cote so loved the Nurse

That he granted her the blink,

That whoever spendeth the sixty minutes needed to master her
Shall not be bound by thy pallet nor thy vault,

But have eternal 4k’s

In the beginning Mathieu Cote created the rift and the trial And the trial was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And Cote said, Let there be blight: and there was blight. And Cote saw the blight, that it was overpowered: and Cote divided the blight from the darkness. And Cote called the blight "Very Hard", despite 5 attempts provided at hitting a dash, and the darkness he called Billy, who was provided less reward despite the higher skill necessary to pilot him. And Cote said, Let there be a giant pallet loop where the survivor can see the killer but projectiles can't go over it, and let it divide the skillful from the baby survivors, for only the baby survivors may die at it. And Cote made the loop, and divided the worthyfull from the urban evaders. And Cote called the loop Heaven. And the main building formed the first map.

And Cote said, Let the vaults within the cow shed be gathered together unto one place, and let the infinites appear: and it was so. And the vaults he called balanced: and Cote saw that would not be patched for 6 years. And Cote said, Let the trial bring forth grass, and it was so. Yet none properly hid a single trapper trap. And Cote said, Let there be lights in the generators of heaven to divide the gen-rushed from the four slowdown perked; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years (only ever necessary for a skull merchant game) And let them be for noobie players who still do not know generator spawns! And Cote made generator lights; the greater light to rule the gen-rushers, and the lesser light to rule the slowdown perks: he made the totems also, which glowed dimly, and would always be haunted grounds. And Cote set them in the firmament of the trial to give light upon the maps, And to rule over the gen-rushed and over the perk cucked, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Cote saw Pop Goes the Weasel and Pain Resonance were to be used for a literal decade before changes occurred.

And Cote said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the debatably sentient blight player that hath no mechanical ability, and peak god tier gigachad huntress players that may send orbital hatchets above the earth in the open firmament of the trial. And Cote created great whales (twins players), and every living killer that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged hatchet after his kind: and Cote saw that it was good. And Cote blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let hatchets multiply in the earth in the form of ricocheting trickster blades, which have debatable counterplay!

And Cote said, Let us make blendettes in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the hatchets of the air, and over the twins players, and over all the earth, and over every creeping skull merchant that creepeth upon the earth. So Cote created immersion in his own image, in the image of Cote created he him; female greenshirt gigachad and ace (who still moans 25 decibels quieter than all other survivors) which created he them. And Cote blessed them, and Cote said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the twins players, and over the peak god sexy huntress players, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And Cote said, Behold, I have given you every pallet bearing uncounterable positioning, go rule over it! And to every ugly twins player, and to every peak god huntress hatchet of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth like a skull merchant, wherein there is life, I have given every god pallet for meat: and it was so. And Cote saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very bad. And not a single balanced map was present.
