Survivor Rulebook for Killers
Treat this topic lightly. It's not about discussing x or y playstyle.
I wish to create and actual IRL rulebook of the widely known "survivor rulebook for killers"
But I need y'all help. While I can think of many rules myself, I'd like for the book to have quite a few pages.
So please, share with me all the rules you can think of, they don't have to be super good, they just have to REEK of entitlement.
Doesn't matter if you're a survivor or a killer main, you definitely met survivors trying to tell others how to play.
I will share the book once I finish making it :D

There are no rules except those that the devs have set.
Everything else is fair game.
Excpet showing mercy to twerking shirtless David’s and Vittorio. Must always show them mercy or you are a horrible person.

First of all, unless you are NOT breaking any game rules, there are no other rules for both sides.
I would split this "book" into two part:
- Generaly agreeable
- Personal twists
Generaly agreeable: is something like "hey Killer shouldn't tunnel" or "hey Killer shouldn't camp someone or face camp them", etc. Just set of few rules that "everyone" can agree upon usualy when it comes to playing "fairly".
Personal twists: well these are the wild things. These can be anything really. Someone mind find offensive and toxic that you down them because they were AFK. Someone mind find toxic that you hit them on the hook after they tbagged you. Or that you play some killer with some build. Or you play some add-on, playstyle, etc.
Simply put, what I am trying to say is: You will never make everyone happy. From 100 different people, 25 might think playing Pig itself is not friendly, 73 might don't care and the last 2 will DC and wait until endgame chat to tell you how horrible you are and you should uninstall the game (even if you played like the most fair killer ever).

i want this book to be purely a meme, all of the like "smol PP perks", like when they call using X and Y perks cheating, you can't do this and that tactic, i'm supposed to win.
All the entitlement.
Nothing serious, just all the stupidity you can think of.
Don't think of actual rules the game has, it's not about them

Oh, well then.
Killer must run to the opposite side of the map after hooking someone. They must face the boundary wall and count to 30 before attempting their next chase.

that's what i meant :D

These are always fun. I'll pull from personal experience.
1. If a survivor drops an item in front of you and nods, you must let them live. No hooks or injuries.
2. If the survivor is going after a chest, you must stop and let them grab the item. Then give them a headstart before you chase them.
3. You shall not equip light born. Survivors have a right to blind you and you shall endure it.
4. If a survivor waves at you, you must chase them and ONLY them. You must ignore everyone else on gens and proceed to chase or be looped the entire match.
5. Survivors are not teabagging you to be rude. They are saying thank you at all times. You are the one being toxic at all times.
:D GLHF

Thou shalt not run franklins
Thou shalt not create 3 gens
NONONOED
4 Slowdowns are the devils plaything
Thou shalt see a recently hooked survivor running past them and pretend they didnt see them
Thou shalt not bait deadhard
this is fun
Thou shall watch me leave
If thou recieveth a trinket from thine survivor, said survivor is given all quarter and parley

2 other additions I can think of:
- It is ur responsibility as a killer to make sure that survivors get unhooked in time. If you somehow crossed paths with the survivor that they decided should go for the rescue, delaying him/her and therefore making the person on the hook reach second stage or even die, u should dc for the sake of fairness or at least not participate in this game for another 60 seconds.
- If you use noed you are required to uninstall DBD after the match and never to touch it again EVER. Also ur a horrible person IRL

i LOVE your way of spelling this out, i'm definitely making it in a fancy font too, I didn't learn calligraphy for nothing

Things I experienced:
Don't tunnel the unhooked
Don't camp a hook
Hook everyone twice
Spread the damage, killing is the last option
respect 4%
don't run XYZ Meta Perk
don't try other things, everything else could be annoying
don't pick up survivors from the escape line if they didn't made it
Break thrown pallets instead of playing them
commit way too long chases (and respect all other rules)
don't do predictions, could be sus
get 360ed at least once or sus
team with the 2nd last survivor to find the last one
if someone dc do funny stuff and/or let the others farm some bps
if it's a bad game (5gen, 3survs) be as chill as possible
[insert specific killer] do [specific killer] usual memes
I kept it short. There are also silly rules for survivor aswell and of course it's not logical, ignores the core of the game and also ignoree game rules and they are as personal as possible

This Survivor Rulebook-BS is so 2017, it is not even funny anymore. Let alone that Killers also get offended by the mildest things you can imagine.

i mean, you can post the other side "rules" too, i can always do a tome 2 :D
0 -
there's a lot of rules that are unlisted there, i know about it's existence, but i'd like to get as many as possible. Also every day i hear about new things killers aren't "allowed to", so it's nice to get people's thoughts here :D

Rule 1: Dont use your power with Legion
Rule 2: Never use frenzy while survivor are unhooking and deep wound others in the vicinity as legion
Rule 3 : if you manage to hook someone. survivors are allow to tell you, you're a good legion 👍
Rule 4 : :never kill with Legion
Rule 5 : Never use Legion
GG ez clap

The only one I keep in mind when playing killer is don't tunnel 1 survivor on 5 gens.
BUT what about PJ Felix? 😟

He’s excluded until he gets a full on shirtless cosmetic while only wearing tightey-whities and furry slippers.

It’s so trite, right? I wanna see people talk about the killer rule book.
1 -
Another one is probably:
- Only survivors have map choice rights. If u as a killer choose a map though shall be branded as sweaty which is frowned upon in survivor circles.
0 -
As long as we remember that the killer rulebook for survivors is just as thick and cumbersome...
1 -
The only thing I care about is hard tunneling. If an unhooked survivor is being dumb after being unhooked then yeah, kill him. However, if you sit there and watch someone unhook, then only go for the unhooked you are a pos.
Everything else is fair.

oh look a book that was made by survivors who think anyone will follow it
whoops there it goes in the fire camp
look play as you like, there ain't no rules
survivors don't care about killers so why should killers, tunnel, camp or don't, you are playing a game, if you gonna follow some imaginary rules, you might as well just let all 4 survivors go
2 -
You're ruthless! 😭 Also LMAO at the tightey-whities & furry slippers tysm for that image 🤣

how about survivor rule book. survivors must do generators, killer must kill. doesnt matter how u get to that outcome be it gen rush, slug, camp, tunnel whatever. as long as you do the role you picked your all good.
But seriously making a topic asking for a rulebook that killers must follow is kinda entitled and i do hope that your games are filled with killers who don't follow your "rules"
😂

Survivor Rulebook is NEVER EVER not funny and will be fresh and crisp forever.
Yes friends.

But then they are camping the wall.

Other than what the game has set there is no "survivor rulebook", it's just a made up concept from salty killers who get upset at in game chat from other fools. Just more fools who believe it's actually real.

People asking other players to not be a dick.
"The survivor rulebook!1!1!"

Actually, save and bring ebony moris just for them.
Simps should be killed first imo. >:)

Here few rules...
You have to "always" leave hook and even if survivor is rescued immediatelly you are not allowed to go back. So you have to go find new survivor and just let the other two heal...
You are not allowed to go after same survivor you hooked if you have't hooked someone else in meanwhile. Even if he abuses off the record to prevent your getting another down.
If you play bubba you can facecamp but you have to allow trade to happen.

Have a look at my rulebook and take whatever you like.

This points out an issue - I disagree completely with the first two examples you list as "generally agreeable" and "everyone can agree on".
- Killer shouldn't tunnel: BS. Tunnelling is a perfectly legit strategy - there are many occasions when it's the best tactic to use.
- Killer shouldn't camp someone or facecamp them. Okay, I have no issues with the facecamp part but there are again perfectly legitimate reasons to proxy camp, in particular in the endgame.
So already your rules that "everyone can agree on" don't meet that criteria. It all hinges on your definition ending with "when it comes to playing fairly".
Playing fairly is not cheating or abusing exploits as defined by the devs.
Anything else is perfectly legit.

I am very very horrible Monster then 😂

Does it stop killers from Camping/Tunneling/Using Perks? No. Just some killers who are afraid of end game chat from foolish survivors being cheeky. But some have taken to this mysterious "Survivor Rulebook" as there actually is one, there isn't.
