Post making contest 2.0

This is update #68.

Kíeros, I imagine that, if you want Fogel to solve your ruleset, you're going to have to agree to solve this one. That's only fair.

You think I'm not trying? I think this might be a good attempt. Or it might fail everything. Probably the latter.

This post passes no rules.

sruix i was wondering if you are still intent on inflicting rules hell on everyone (yourself included) after this round? i only ask because last night good decision making processes were probably not in action and you didn't sound 100% convinced of this course of action

Having written the judging script and everything, I figure I might as well get it over and done with so that I have a legitimate reason to exile myself from proceedings afterwards. This is assuming that Fogel's hell doesn't last for multiple days, and that my rules hell is actually viable. I should probably check that at some point. Not as in "there exists a winning post" viable, but more "someone will be able to figure out how to make a winning post".

i guesssssssss we better knuckle down and solve this bullshit then.

Realtalk: Does anyone actually have any understanding of any of these rules.

The distribution of passing rules (and the fact that fogel was drawing our attention to it) seems like it should be some kind of indication that it's based on post number or some other consistent factor rather than actual content of the post, but i'm getting the overall impression we do actually need to do something beyond blindly groping our way to victory. I just don't know what it is.

I can tell you that I am not just basing this on post number or something. I am looking at actual post content.

I suggest trying more ridiculous things like #3697, that was a very good post for this ruleset. Even if it might not seem like it.
