But it's still not really fair, since it's not a universally-available option.

My strategy would work better if I had any patience to keep it up lmao. I probably also shouldn't have joined in on the round after Akumu's because it is like, that sure is a thing to beat.

New rounds tend to start pretty low-key, until a bunch of nerds congregate on discord and work each other into a rules-cracking frenzy of bad posts and worse decisions. Your post breaks all the rules, jsyk.

Yay! I was the winner!
Username rules don't seem too bad, what's so wrong with "must quote RL and not use a p"? But I agree that, a sporting type of rule is one that doesn't pre-dispose posts to having an easier or impossible chance at breaking the rules. (I'm also not a huge fan of self-referential rules, but that's just cus they're haaaaard.)

Yeah, i feel like username related rules are little silly.
like rule 4 needed to have you exclude letters from your name? so with btp, that would be, real easy, but with someone whose name is 'literally the alphabet' that would be hard, even with the 'except if doing so breaks rule 3'

so, no on ANY username rules,,,,, that i can think of at least.
edit: well, maybe rules like "say the previous person's username, or your own username" but when going down into specific letters and stuff maybe a bit too much. yes for post number rules... but only if every post COULD win if done right.
RE: Post making contest

I think the main issue with username-based rules is using the entire username.
"First letter" or "length of username" as variables are okay, or even "say your username somewhere in the post", but restricting every single letter just disadvantages people with longer usernames. Also let's be honest, our early shitposts that round were way more distinctive and less repetitive than a lot of the posts that started passing Rule 2. BUDDY. This suggests that the best way to encourage new meme generation (and what else are we trying to accomplish at this point?) is to change rulesets frequently rather than leaving people stumped for sixteen pages. Or, I guess, to frustrate them so much that Bob tries to impersonate Akumu and Shredded starts a new "round". I still don't know what Rule 6 is.

I absolutely agree every post should have the opportunity to pass every rule!
Rules which are 'post number must be prime' for example are out, but i think if it was used in the manner of 'post must include post number in the post' thats fine because every post has the possibility of that. So long as we're not all just clamouring for one specific numbered post then I'm okay with most stuff! Subjective rules aren't my favourites but without knowing what they are it's tough to say I'd be opposed to them! Heaven Help Us | Make Room!!!! | I'm Not Okay (I Promise)
