"My best guess on 3 and 4 is that they count things, but I have no idea what they could be counting."
I don't think rule 1 is right. I kept breaking rule only one and each had a valid link to a post.
I think that rule 3 or 4 could be "no more than 1 quote"?

"Quotes have been the most consistent way of passing Rule 1. I don't know why it hasn't been working for you. The first time I saw it break you quoted yourself and I thought that might be it, but then you quoted Akumu later."
"But I've quoted Akumu and passed Rule 1."

"What if I was to say 'Sruix please rescue us from Rules Hell'?"
RE: Post making contest - Sruixan - 05-03-2016
This is test #7.
I am not rescuing anyone from Rules Hell until at least tomorrow evening, as a consequence of my bad time management in the aftermath of rescuing people from Rules Hell previously.
Not that that's stopping me from following the thread, apparently.

Quote:Rules about rules:
1. Only 5 rules maximum.
2. Nested rules are RIGHT OUT (i.e. "Post must follow all of g0m's original rules")
3. No If statements in your rules. (This one is debatable)
4. Rules should be reasonably sovleable by a group whose only feedback is which rules certain posts break.
5. After a certain period of time, the rule maker may begin to reveal rules. (Unprecidented, also debatable)

I vote yes on rule 1 only. Rule 4 is like, in what metric is that measured. Give me an example of a rule that could not be eventually figured out by a couple of hints and deductive reasoning. Rule 5 is host's discretion we don't need a rule for that.
I don't think there should be a limit to rule complexity though, save the host's own discretion of what will get them publicly ostracized from polite society.
I propose a new rule. No blue lizards.
RE: Post making contest - Ixcaliber - 05-03-2016
