This is update #155.
The Mongolian Space Consortium rolled its keshiks into London purely so that I could rename it to Lubrication, and that's all you need to know about how our game went.
(I may well have claimed victory had we played it out, but only two out of six of us were in any position to win, hence we gave up)
End of message.

RE: Post making contest - Sruixan - 06-18-2016
Okay, heads up, serious times - I got rule 1, but in order for Aks to make the winning post I've ceded to him, we need you all to not post in the thread for an hour. Because that's rule 1 - post must be made at least an hour after that last. You can go and check if you like, it's bloody brilliant. So, yeah, the only winning move is not to post! If we could all keep quiet now, we can defeat this ruleset with minimal hassle! I'll see you all on the other side...

Oh! Sure, I can do that.

I'm going back to giving a single hint for each rule like Kaynato's ruleset around 50 pages ago because that's when I made this ruleset. Nothing here should take years to figure out, but what do I know, maybe I've accidentally made the worst rule ever. So, without further ado, the five rules!
Rule 1: Creativity
Rule 2: Two-Faced
Rule 3: Matrix
Rule 4: Give Up
Rule 5: Copycat
This post passes no rules!

This post passes all of the rules!
RULES
1. Patience: This rule is passed if at least 1 hour has elapsed between this post and the previous one.
2. English: All words (defined to be a run of alphabetic characters delimited by nonalphabetic characters) in post must be Scrabble-legal. Words are checked using OWL2.
NOTE: single letter words are not scrabble legal. Usernames are probably not scrabble-legal either.
NOTE: Substitutions like h3llo will be judged as H, LLO (neither which are scrabble-legal)
3. Multiplication/Division: Total post length, in characters, must be a factor of the post count number.
Character count will be determined as follows: quote tags will only have the characters inside the quote tag counted; for pictures a rough approximation will be attempted; also invisible characters are ignored. Emoticons count as their original unexpanded form.
4. Addition: Post must contain every letter not contained in poster's username
Patch: If a letter is impossible to satisfy both 2 and 5 simultaneously, you do not have to post that letter.
e.g. There are no scrabble legal words containing a Q but no letters from CRIMSONMAGE, so CrimsonMage does not need to post a word containing Q. (He can still post Q without breaking 4 - though one of 2 and 5 would certainly fail.)
5. Subtraction: Post must not contain any letter contained in poster's username
Commentary
Merged Multiplication and Division because I get only 5 rules.
Originally P and E were supposed to be Parentheses and Exponentiation, but I couldn't think of something good for Exponentiation, and the Parentheses rule was pretty artificial (although I might save it for a later round).
Definitely, the new P is much better. My goal was to make each rule individually easy to pass but require good understanding of all the rules in order to pass them all simultaneously (especially rules 2, 4 and 5)
