Talk:Rules of Alien Contact

I suspect that the official name for these rules is "The Rules of Alien Contact". Among the Observers, they are usually called the "Rules of Observation". Sometimes they are called the "Rules of Intervention" when a point is being made about how the rules do not totally prevent illegal interventions in the development of cultures. In that sense, the laxness of enforcement of the rules is what defines the linits actually imposed on the Interventionists. I should also add that this is just one version of the rules, the version currently used at the Observer Base on the Moon. I have been told that there are other versions that are not shared with primitive species like yours and mine. ManBin 01:18, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
