A Barbarian on a different post stated, â€œThis is not the playa way.â€

I believe he meant "ePlaya way" but Barbarians are not good at spelling.

It's EXACTLY like 'The Cowboy Way' starring Woody Harrelson and Kiefer Sutherland. That means there's no possible debate on what the playa way is, otherwise it wouldn't be its own universal.

Shut up, you civilized morons.

Here, I will be merciful and save you the trouble of searching this site.

Ten Principles

Radical Inclusion
Anyone may be a part of Burning Man (if they buy a ticket!). We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.

Gifting
Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.

Decommodification
In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.

Radical Self-reliance
Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources.

Radical Self-expression
Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.

Communal Effort
Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.

Civic Responsibility
We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.

Leaving No Trace
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.

Participation
Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.

Immediacy
Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.

Snark
Hark! The Snark! That's eleven, big deal.

A MASTER was asked the question, "What is the Way?" by a curious
monk.

"It is right before your eyes," said the master.

"Why do I not see it for myself?"

"Because you are thinking of yourself."

"What about you: do you see it?"

"So long as you see double, saying I don't and you do, and so on,
your eyes are clouded," said the master.

"When there is neither 'I' nor 'You,' can one see it?"

"When there is neither 'I' nor 'You,' who is the one that wants to
see it?"

I think Billy Dee Williams set the pattern for the playa way.

A Barbarian must always be!

Howling â€¦.you guys are pitiful. Canâ€™t pick on the newbees?

Doug you know better than to throw chum in the water like that.
Theses guys are sharks looking for something to feed on.

Playa wayâ€¦.. there is no playa way.
There are 50,000+ people who have 50,000+ different perceptions of what the playa way means to them.
You all should be kicked in the nuts for this thread.

So if there is no *Playa Way*

Is there or is there not an *ePlaya Way*

Hey, does that get me a drink bartender or is this the Dry Camp?

You know the joke about the Rabbit and the wolf?

It alway's good for a free drink on the playa.

it starts with a rabbit running and singing throught the woods

What is the Playa Way?

His Holiness Larry Harvey, our Beloved Leader and God, is the Light and the Way. It says so in the Larry Bible.
