67: I will correct all number strangeness.

[Double A]

68. I will not host a party or go for a drink right before I am ordered to go into combat.
69. If I am the broker, and am supposed to be at the trade depot, I will not blankly stare at the wall and say I am on break.

[Neoskel]

70. If i am accosted by a lone kobold thief i WILL enter a martial trance and mash it into a fine paste instead of getting my throat slashed out.

71. If i am ordered to stand guard on a retractable drawbridge over a long drop/magma/etc. i WILL ignore that order.

[NW_Kohaku]

72.  I will learn how to make home-made bandages and possibly purchase some thread for sutures that I can apply to myself, possibly even practicing medical procedures on some dead things.  This may be a communist fortress, but I'm obviously on my own for my healthcare.

[Lovechild]

73. When ordered to equip armor, I will actually go for the steel masterpieces stockpiled right next to the barracks instead of that copper junk a goblin left behind three years ago.

[Jake]

74. I will refrain from moving to any settlement with a volcano or magma pipe until it has survived long enough to become a barony.
75. If it becomes impossible to uphold Rule #74 and still earn a decent living, I will endeavour to arrive dressed exclusively in silk and/or leather, no matter how ridiculous I may look as a result.

[plisskin]

76. I will pay attention to the specific names that the Dwarf-in-charge has given to burrows. I will follow any orders to head in the one named "Civilian Safety Bunker." I will disobey any orders to head to the one named "Useless Personnel Disposal."

[Jake]

77. If born into a version of DF that has yet to implement the ability to keep a knife in my boot, I will practice either mining or woodcutting until at least Competent before migrating anywhere. If confronted by any hostile creature that can run faster than me, I shall hit it very hard in the soft bits and hope for the best.

78. If I am on fire, I will jump into the nearest body of water. If no such thing is available, I will stop, drop, and roll until the fire is put out. Under no circumstances will I approach any flammable objects while in this state.
79. I will use my knowledge of the fort and its layout. I will not complain about warm stone if I know for a fact that a magma reservoir is immediately below my feet. Nor will I complain about damp stone when asked to dig immediately above the cistern.
80. Despite the above, when asked to dig through warm or damp stone, I will move away from the breach as soon as the square is cleared. Yes, I'll look stupid if no flood happens, but I'll live if one does.
81. I will learn how to swim.

[Double A]

82. I read 81 again.

[Max White]

83. In case of dire situation, I will not cancel gathering plants to hunt vermin.

[Flaede]

82. I read 81 again.

It's also rule 37. Can't be too careful.

[Neyvn]

84: I will learn to Swim (Got it Memorized???)

[Max White]

85. I will for go swimming lessons, knowing that neither river, lake, nor cave pond is safe from horrors with [UNDERSWIM], thus leaving no safe place to practice such a skill.

[Rentorian]

86.  I will make sure to go above ground (in a nice sheltered area cut off from attackers of course) at least once a month in order to prevent cave adaptation.  It may not be comfortable up there but it's better than uncontrollable vomiting if I ever am forced to escape from the fortress due to flooding, plagues, cave creatures, or whatever else some idiot did.
