Murphy's laws in blockland

[Aniken 911]

Anybody ever heard of Murphy's military laws? It basically a comprehensive set of rules for combat.
I thought it would be cool to apply this to blockland to make TDMs and stuff more realistic.
For example:
"Friendly fire- isn't."
here's a link to all of the laws:

This really has no viable application in Blockland, especially since that whole website is a glorified joke.

In fact, it belongs in Off-Topic.

there will always be one jackass on your team with the flamethrower when friendly fire is on

despite the enemy's antics you will always fail to see the C4 on the ceiling

you WILL let the team's resident handicap use the explosives. no exceptions

you WILL let your team's resident handicap do all the driving too: if you don't he'll just shoot the car until he does

the "easy way" is always a trap. the "hard way" is going to kill you anyway, so it doesn't matter

it's not a joke, it's real. several of the laws existed back during WW2, and many people in commanding positions believed in the laws.

But they're mostly just funny little observations about stuff, not really laws that you can follow.

I repeat:

it's not a joke, it's real. several of the laws existed back during WW2, and many people in commanding positions believed in the laws.

the laws undoubtedly brought many battles to victory during WW2. Now if we could just get heedicalking to make a TDM realistic enough to apply the laws to it...

Is this from the Geneva Convention or is it something else?

My question still hasn't been answered.

well, unless the geneva convention established before WW2, no.

EDIT: Murphy's laws has NOTHING to do with the geneva convention. it's about rules in combat, not humanitarianism.

See, that's all you had to say.

I don't like war very much, so I wouldn't know.

[Hugums]

it's about rules in combat, not humanitarianism.

No it's not.

In this particular case it's just a list of examples of Murphys law. The law that states, anything and everything that can go wrong will, invariably, happen.

well, i was talking about this SET of laws. it talks about how airstrikes suck and that artillery falls short and other stuff.
i catch your drift, but don't compare it to the other sets of laws.
