I was wondering about the Sith, How Come can only be 2, a Master and an Apprentice? and since when the Sith follow rules, wouldnt they be more powerful having more than 2, i mean Sidious, Vader And Tyranuss wouldve been a great team and impossible to beat, also what are the Rules The Sith go by?

Ok, as GL describes it:
"One of the themes throughout the films is that the Sith lords, when they started out thousands of years ago, embraced the dark side. They were greedy and self-centered and they all wanted to take over, so they killed each other. Eventually, there was only one left, and that one took on an apprentice. And for thousands of years, the master would teach the apprentice, the master would die, the apprentice would then teach another apprentice, become the master, and so on. But there could never be any more than two of them, because if there were, they would try to get rid of the leader, which is exactly what Vader was trying to do, and that's exactly what the Emperor was trying to do. The Emperor was trying to get rid of Vader, and Vader was trying to get rid of the Emperor. And that is the antithesis of a symbiotic relationship, in which if you do that, you become cancer, and you eventually kill the host, and everything dies."

so the apprentice wil kill the master whe he/she powerful enough? so when the apprentice can kill the master, then the master succeeded in training the apprentice so the master is happy when he dies? nice, this means that every pair over the generations are more powerful than the one b4, good concept

No, the Sith's training is complete when he becomes the Apprentice ('Apprentice' is a very relative term in the Sith- Dooku is the 'Apprentice' but is more powerful than most Jedi).
The Apprentice will inevitably want to kill the Master and the Master will inevitably want to replace the Apprentice. One will eventually kill the other. It is not CERTAIN that the Apprentice will succeed in toppling his Master. The Master may even die of natural causes if he does well enough.

So Ush, if what you are saying is true, Anakin could be being trained by Sidious as a Sith, and he eventually completes his training and becomes the apprentice.
