Commonly Known Rules To Live By:
*Brought to you by the 4FC*
1.) Do unto others as you would like to see performed on television.
2.) If you can’t take the heat, quit lighting your kitchen on fire.
3.) If you can’t beat them, fake your own death.
4.) There’s no “I” in team, just “Tea.” It must be an English word.
5.) An eye for an eye defeats the purpose of the barter system.
6.) A penny saved is a penny held hostage, you bastard.
7.) It’s better to have loved and lost, than to be stuck in a failing marriage.
8.) When the going gets tough, the tough usually resort to violence.
9.) Judge not, lest ye be done with law school.
10.) If at first you don’t succeed, it’s best not to tell anyone.
11.) Success is 1% inspiration, and 99% loans.
12.) The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. That is, if you’re not strong enough to pierce through the ribcage.
13.) The laws of momentum mandate that objects at rest tend to stay at rest, unless they really have to go to the bathroom.
14.) When opportunity knocks, be weary, he’s probably trying to sell you something.
15.) If a picture is worth a thousand words, I think it would be really tough to read the negatives.
16.) Let your conscience be your guide, that way the tours are free. Risky, but free.
17.) There are no dumb questions, except that one that lives across from me. She doesn’t even know what an “inflection” is.
18.) Two wrongs don’t make a right, but it’s worth a shot.
19.) To err is human, to pass the blame is divine.
20.) Don’t count your chickens before they hatch, you might want breakfast tomorrow.

A 4FC Genuine Live Performance!!!
Attention 4FC members and everybody else too,
The 4FC has been asked to play a grand musical presentation in honor of the eventual opening of the Oak Hall Game Room. This will occur on the opening night, of course, which is still to be determined, but will probably be in 1-2 months.
We ask for all your help in spreading the word, and we are looking for any 4FC members who have the guts to play and/or sing in the performance!
Keep your eyes open for more info.
-thanks for the effort Jack-

Chapter Representatives Needed!!!
We require the volunteering of two representatives for every Hall.
It's a fun job! You get to organize your chapter to do whatever you want, within reason, you get to hang out with the bigshots and help make decisions regarding the future of the 4FC, and you get to help us spend our money!!!
Much glory and honor come with the title, such as the likes of great tribal warriors and future world dominating dictators, all this can be yours!
All you have to do is notify us, have a chat, and you're pretty much in, however, we prefer people who have a good amount of influence over their 4th floor cohorts.
Both representatives will have equal power in their chapters, and any disputes will be settled by our officials. Sign up quick, spaces are obviously limited.
(If your chapter would like to elect representatives through it's own means, go for it, have brute strength competitions or battles of wits, it matters not as long as it's agreed upon.)
