Identical posts. One passes Rule 3 and the other doesn't. This suggests there's a meta aspect to Rule 3.
The clue for it is "Delay". To me that suggests something time-related, but I can't see anything about the timestamps of Rule 3-passing posts that might fit.
Passes rule 2.

The next post will contain the word "lubrication".

Both of these pass rule 2.
edit (I mean, this is still the newest post...) the second post passes rule 3 as well

It's possible that the previous post didn't actually turn out true.

Lubrication lubricates lubrication.
Lubrication lubrication lubricates.
Lubricate lubrication, lubrication!

RE: Post making contest - qwerx3 - 06-25-2016
Here be some hints:
1) Every single rule is at least somewhat meta. The same post may pass any one of the five rules now and fail later.
2) Once again I subscribe to the philosophy of "rules that conflict with each other" (aka hard to pass them both at the same time, while at least doable individually). Of particular note is rule 2 and how it is at odds with rule 4. Kieros seems to have figured out rule 4. Probably.
3) Rule 3 is a bit random and you probably shouldn't invest much time in working it out. Things will pass it every so often.
4) Rule 1 ranges from trivially easy to nearly impossibly hard to pass.

This is update #162.
As far as Jerusalem and Ragusa are concerned, the world consists of this single island on which they and the Soon-To-Be-Great Danish Seafaring Empire reside. And maybe the peeps who built the Great Library and the Temple of Artemis, I guess, but those are probably just rumours. Otherwise, they are all alone in the universe.
And they want each other threatened and bullied. Way to go, folks.
End of message.

This is update #163.
I have Shaka and Monty again. They, along with Pacal, where responsible for the fall of the first Almost-But-Not-Quite-Great Danish Seafaring Empire, and I specifically disallowed Pacal after his full Piety, Unity of the Prophets religion eradicated the Space Consortium...
...so Monty had to go full Piety & Unity of the Prophets to pick up the slack... *sigh*
End of message.
RE: Post making contest - Sruixan - 06-25-2016
This is update #164.
"You have met Colombo."
"Colombo requests units to aid them in their war against the Zulus."
...
End of message.
