Post making contest 1.0

"For those people willing to say, what is your current thinking about what the rules are?"

"Rule 1: Quote somebody else. Include a valid link to a post."
"Rule 2: Not actually sure, but I think it has to do with quote marks. Maybe."
"Rule 5: Post must include an animated GIF that is not a forum emoticon."



"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"?

"I don't think rule 1 is right. I kept breaking rule only one and each had a valid link to a post."

"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."

"Nothing makes any sense."

"What if I was to say 'Sruix please rescue us from Rules Hell'?"

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.

End of message.

It's morning in America!

Birds are creatures that Mavericks are based on!

What if I were to say, "Welcome to the Space Consortium?"

I AM GOING TO BED.

"I don't have any idea what I'm doing at this point."

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.

(when i say 'figured out' i mean we cargo cult the shit out of that rule until we eventually pass)

Okay I'm going judge all these posts now
