The Complete Ferengi Rules of Acquisition
- drivingmenuts 9y agoAre these the canonical rules based on the series or are some just made up due to lack of material?
- throwaway7645 9y agoI recognize a lot of them from DS9, but I'm not sure if they all came from the show. I really enjoyed how the Ferengi were portrayed in DS9 making pilgrimages to WallStreet...kinda funny.
- moomin 9y agoFunnily enough, I was just watching DS9 S01E10 on Netflix. "What's the first rule of acquisition?"... it checks out.
- hannob 9y agoI think the series never mentioned all of the rules. Memory Alpha (already linked above) is strict in adhering to canon and has a list of rules that appeared in the series: http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_Acquisition http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_Acquisition Guess the rest is made up or from non-canon publications.
- jkaunisv1 9y agoThe full list was never mentioned in the show, but I believe one of the writers (Ira Behr?) subsequently published a full list as a separate book. So probably not official canon but about as close as it gets.
- infodroid 9y agoThere is a significantly better version over at Memory Beta, with full references and fewer typos: http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Ferengi_Rules_of_Acquisition http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Ferengi_Rules_of_Acquisiti...
- throwaway7645 9y agoDoesn't memory beta have like a zillion ads and popups?
- throwaway7645 9y ago#74 is a duplicate. Is that for emphasis?
- adrianmalacoda 9y agoMemory-Alpha[0] lists that rule as "Knowledge equals profit" so probably a mistake. [0] http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_Acquisition http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_Acquisition
