Post making contest 6.0

I thought I understood rule 3 and now I really, really don't.

I hope somebody found this experience to be enlightening. No rules passed.

passes rule 3

some hints or hint adjacent facts:

• You'd be passing rule 1 a lot more often if Sruix was here
  
• Posting a rainbow will always pass rule 3 but its overkill and will actively impede your understanding of the rule
  
• Understanding how a rule works will help you because all the rules work similarly. The easiest rules to brute force an understanding of are 1, 2 and 3.
  
• I had a devil of a time trying to come up with a fourth rule and I didn't do a great job. At first because it was too specific for anyone to pass it even when people were trying something in the vicinity of the right thing (it was an emoticon rule), and now because looking at the passes won't give you any clear information. Essentially ignore rule 4 for now and I'll give more blatant hints when you have a better understanding of the others.
  
• Rule 5 is the best rule and you're probably gonna need to actually talk to one another to work out what the deal is.
  
• This post doesn't count in the same way judgement posts don't count.

oh fuck. looks like we're counting post numbers, or something.

This is update #1:

My best guess for rule 3 is that it has something to do with cycling colors through the color wheel -- like each post is assigned a color (probably from ROY G BIV), and must contain that color to pass rule 3. I'm not sure if the required color changes whenever rule 3 is passed, or whenever a post is made, but we can test that.

no rules and i already said post numbers are irrelevant to this ruleset

Looks like we've got a thousand years of surplus here. What do we do with it?

Well, surely this post passes at least one (1) rule.

I'm glad. Perhaps I should rewatch but I'm afraid it would spoil the authenticity of cluelessness for my Minority Report adventure. This post doesn't pass any rules sadly.

I wanted to give this one a rule one pass. It doesn't for a very clear reason but it was close enough to be frustrating.

Well, surely this post passes at least one (1) rule.

This post passes no rules

As it is it could have passed rule 1 but now never will, it could conceivably pass rule 2 but it'll be a while yet, it could never pass rule 3, it could pass rule 4 and soonish actually and finally it could not in any realistic circumstances pass rule 5.

Well, surely this post passes at least one (1) rule.

We can only hope

Close to a rule four pass but again rule four is not worth working on until you have a better idea of the others.
