Rules of my game

Survival

1. Live, Highlander. Grow stronger. Fight another day.

Said to Duncan in "Methos." Silas quotes me in "Revelation 6:8": "We live, we grow stronger, and we fight." Suggested by taselby@aol.com.

2. If the alternative is unthinkable, don't think about it — do something about it.

"The alternative is unthinkable," said twice in "Timeless." Suggested by tiemando@pilot.msu.edu.

3. Look out for number one.

"Look at me, MacLeod. I didn't last 5000 years by worrying about anyone but myself" from "Chivalry." Suggested by gallan@randomhouse.com.

4. Know what you want.

"I am Methos. You live to serve me. Never forget that" from "Comes a Horseman." Suggested by tiemando@pilot.msu.edu.

5. Stay out of other people's business, and they'll stay out of yours.

"If I start questioning people, sooner or later one of them starts questioning me" from "Judgment Day." Suggested by gallan@randomhouse.com.

6. Always go with the winner.

"Like you said, I go with the winner" from "Revelation 6:8." Suggested by AllCro@aol.com.

7. Never tell the truth! And when you do, never tell more than what is needed.

"Why would I tell the truth?" from "Finalé Part 1," and also "Would I lie to you?" to which Kronos replied, "Have you ever done anything else?" from "Revelation 6:8." Suggested by gallan@randomhouse.com.

8. Trust no one.

"You don't trust anybody, do you?" "I find it safer not to make a habit of it, no." from "Through a Glass Darkly." Suggested by AllCro@aol.com.

9. Know when to disappear.

"I may not know who Chubby Checker is, but I know when it's time to disappear" from "Comes a Horseman," and also "If they carry a sword and I haven't been formally introduced, I get shy" from "The Valkyrie." Suggested by tiemando@pilot.msu.edu.

10. When you don't have time to think — improvise.

"I wasn't thinking, I was improvising" from "Finalé Part 1" Suggested by Basaxl@camalott.com.

11. If another immortal is unstable or a threat to you in any way, "lure him outside and take his head. Problem solved."

From "Through a Glass Darkly." Suggested by gallan@randomhouse.com.

12. When you have to fight, make sure it's a "nice day for it... not too cold... the ground's nice and dry."

From "Forgive Us Our Trespasses." Suggested by gallan@randomhouse.com.

13. If it can go either way, don't take the chance.

"It could have gone either way, I couldn't take the chance" from "Comes A Horseman," and "Because I didn't know if you could beat him. It was a chance I couldn't take" from "Methos." Suggested by gallan@randomhouse.com.

14. Show mercy occasionally, but not predictably.

"He doesn't take heads on Tuesdays" from "Forgive Us Our Trespasses." Suggested by gallan@randomhouse.com.

15. No one else can fight your battles for you. You can, of course, decide to fight their battles for them. Whether they like it or not.

"You cannot fight my battles for me" from "Methos," contrasted with "Forgive Us Our Trespasses." Suggested by Methosgrrl@aol.com.

16. Sometimes the best way to solve problems is to avoid them.

"You need a vacation. I hear New Zealand is very nice this time of year" from "Judgment Day," and "Really guys, the time has come for you two to start a new life somewhere. Bora Bora is very nice this time of year" from "One Minute to Midnight." Suggested by gallan@randomhouse.com.

17. Never sleep naked, because you may have to then fight naked.

From "Forgive Us Our Trespasses." Suggested by marlsbaby1@juno.com.
