I admire everyone on here who knows the rules right down to the smallest detail. Obviously that comes from experience but are you also constantly paging through the book to keep yourself on top of the rules?

For every rules question that's asked here, (a) answer it to your sefl first; (b) look it up to see if you were correct; (c) THEN read the rest of the answers here to confirm / get variations / get other explanations.
And, when you have a question in a game, look it up.
Sure, it's a lot easier to just get the answer here -- but you will learn a lot more about that question if you look it up AND you will find other things you didn't know.
