PASSES ALL RULES

another victory for not understanding anything

Do you want me to post the rules now, or first guess what they were?

I'm pretty sure that 3 is prime number, 4 is bold something, 5 is "passes", but I'm not sure about 1 and 2.

Rules were:

SpoilerShow

• Rule 1: Must contain food. That single coffee emote really screwed over your guys' ability to figure this one out.
  
• Rule 2: Must not contain any unmodified alphabetical characters. Ones used for or produced by BBCode are acceptable, as well as ones in images or ones with diacritics/modifiers.
  
• Rule 3: Must contain a prime number.
  
• Rule 4: Must contain exactly three different BBCode tags.
  
• Rule 5: Must be posted between 4 pm and 9 pm PDST. (A convenient and coincidental intersection of the worst times for Sruix and the best times for me)
  

I really had no idea that it would be this difficult. I was expecting that you would try a whole bunch of different stuff, rather than sticking to certain posts.

Well, now that that's over with, I thought everybody would be prepared for

So this time, things are just shuffled without a specific rule. And to save myself time, I'll just tell you how many rules you pass, rather than generating arbitrary numbers.

All of the rules are generally simple inclusive. That means copying somebody's post should usually result in the same rule passing.

For extra hints, here's the list of song titles that the rules may be named. (They're the songs that make up Fingertips.)

• Everything's Catching on Fire
  
• Fingertips
  
• I Hear the Wind Blow
  
• Hey Now Everybody Now
  
• Who's That Standing Out My Window
  
• I Found A New Friend
  
• Come On And Wreck My Car
  
• Aren't You The Guy Who Hit Me In The Eye?
  
• Please Pass the Milk, Please
  
• Leave Me Alone
  
• Who's Knocking On The Wall?
  
• All Alone
  
• What's That Blue Thing Doing Here?
  
• Something Grabbed Ahold Of My Hand
  
• I Cannot Understand You
  
• I Heard A Sound
  
• Mysterious Whisper
  
• The Day That Love Came To Play
  
• I'm Having A Heart Attack
  
• Fingertips (reprise)
  
• I Walk Along Darkened Corridors
  

and that should- wait, what's... what's this?

Oh noooooo~

It turns out there are also Three Negarules in play!! If you pass a Negarule, it counts as minus one rule passed!

I will tell you separately how many rules and negarules are passed in a post. So you want all five rules passed at the same time as passing none of the negarules. The negarules are also simple inclusive. Which I guess makes them simple exclusive really? Because you don't want them? Oh, and they're also pulled from the list of song titles.

Overcomplicated? No never. Oh, and finally...


This post passes 2 rules and 1 negarule.

Coincidentally Sruix starts playing Civ at around 4pm... (and ends around 8pm or so)

Wait, what? Should I investigate Fingertips one?
