Rules Game...

[wordcross]

It's her rule. Therefore, we are at the mercy of her interpretation of what constitutes the use of a "participant" on the GL. If she can use Ktulu, then we would be allowed to use similar names in this circumstance if we so choose.

[Ktulu]

Participation? Sorry, I've been inactive for a while...

Law 6: All laws must contain two, and only two, italic words, words 3 and 5. Digits count as words. Anyway, I hate Courk's name, because I've never seen it on SNL, but something I have seen in a TV show is the word Kazaam!!

[Suspence]

BUZZ...lots of "fifth symbols" in that last post.

------------------
I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature

[Suspence]

Ru1e 1; A11 co1ons wi11 be rep1aced by semico1ons, and a11 "1"'s wi11 be replaced with "1"'s.

[monique]

Ru1e 2; A11 ru1es must now contain the name of a famous anima1, such as F1ipper. Eeee, Eeee!

[mathgrant]

1aw 3; Shamu says no fifth symbo1s from a11 26 symbo1s.

[Hitchhiker]

Instruction 4; Snoopy says to switch a11 "f"s with a11 "d"s, id you dinf any in your worfs.

[Flash Bazbo]

Instruction 5; Woofstock says a11 posts must contain a si11y 1ink.

[Dread Pirate Westley]

Can you make a double rule like the current rule 1 (l's--->1's and :--->? Apparently. Just checking.

------------------
The sooner you accept one simple truth, the sooner we can all get along with our lives.

I'm right.

**BUZZ**
Suspence13's post has the word replaced with an "l" not a "1"

[WECoyote]

rUle1: All rUles must say "Wyld Stallyns rUle!", including the misspelling of rUle

------------------
Childhood is short and maturity is forever. ~Calvin

[Flash Bazbo]

Maxim 2: After acknowledging that "Wyld Stallyns rUle!" each rUle shall conclude with a different adverb, naturally.

[MacadamiamaN]

Rrukfds 3: "Wyld Stallyns rUle!" is unintelligent; from now on, all rrukfds must replace "Wyld Stallyns rUle!" with "AND THEN SHE SAID, 'AHHHHH!'", logically.

[Courk]

BUZZ

That rule coounteracts another rule. No matter who a new rule is posted, it's impossible to follow both of the rules, thus leading to that person being buzzed.

[Dread Pirate Westley]

[Courk]

DPW, make a post that doesn't break either of those rules. It's impossible. You can replace every "Wyld Stallyns rUle!" with "AND THEN SHE SAID, 'AHHHHH!'" but then you would be breaking the "Wyld Stallyns rUle!" rule. If you didn't replace it you would be breaking the "AND THEN SHE SAID, 'AHHHHH!'" rule.

I believe that is an annoying loop hole that MacmaN was supposed to avoid.

[Dread Pirate Westley]

I'm not making any rules.

Besides, it's much easier than that.

BUZZ! In Rrukfds 3, "Wyld Stallyns rUle!" is NOT replaced with "AND THEN SHE SAID, AHHHHH!'" Twice, in fact.

[Flash Bazbo]

Fine, then let's start anew:

Rule 1: Each rule shall end with an italicized foreign word or expression, capisce?

[Hitchhiker]

Rule 2: EAch rule shAll cApitAlize All its A's, ¿comprende?

[jadesmar]

Rule 13: EAch rule shAll now be numbered by A prime number with one more decimAl digit thAn the preceding rule's, come ci.

[wordcross]

Rule 101: All rules shAll henceforth be numbered so thAt they Also correspond to A binAry number. HAstA Luego.

[Lucky Wizard]

(Jadesmar, I'm assuming -- and hoping -- you mean "at least one more" rather than "exactly one more", because, otherwise, it will be impossible for both your rule and wordcross's rule to be satisfied by the coming rule.)

(And I can tell you that the next rule will have to have at least a 7-digit number. )

Rule 10111: All rules must hAvne hAve one misspelling or typo, which is corrected by striking it through And putting the correct spelling AfterwArds, porque quiero verlo.

[Dread Pirate Westley]

I would interpret jadesmar's rule as meaning "exactly one more." That would make wordcross's rule prevent addition of another rule and therefore illegal.

[wordcross]

let's ask jadesmar before we start over though. This could get intersting

[jadesmar]

I did mean exactly one more. But I did not phrase it that way.

Someone deserves to be buzzed. I am just not sure who.

[MacadamiamaN]

Hehehe, I spent four hours! There should not have been any buzzes.

[referee]

Amazing you spend four hours looking for loopholes yet manage to post your rule only 36 minutes after the rule you contradict. Mac's buzz is confirmed.

I think it's wordcross who must be buzzed because he made it impossible to post new rules.

[MacadamiamaN]

That's the big problem with the rules game.. it's always fun for the first 3-5 rules, then it just gets too confusing or just plain weird.

[One Skunk Todd]

Well it seems like we're onto a new set regardless.

0. All rules must mention the name of a female GLer, such as Luna, and female GLer's names can not be repeated in the current set of rules unless we exhaust all available possibilites.

[wordcross]

Rule 1: All rules that could possibly be seen by SaberKitty should underline the name of the female GLer.

[MacadamiamaN]

Rule 2: All rules that have anything to do with rule-making must contain a mention of a male GLer, such as MacadamiamaN, in addition to the mention of a female GLer, such as Moose.

[Courk]

Rule 3: All rules must spread or create at least one rumor. Say, did anyone hear about the steamy love triangle between Xeno, The Ktulu, and HyToFry?

[Hitchhiker]

Rule 4: Every elur, whether or ton it mentions the six million dollars Werebear stole from Orbiting, tsum lleps at least evif words drawkcab.

[Flash Bazbo]

Rule 5: All selur can't get no mention of eht time Hitchhiker hid all of Beartalon's towels, tub yeht must niatnoc a double negative.

[wordcross]

Rule 6: Lla Rules must won make one of the sdrawkcab words a palindrome. Esiwrehto, EEEM and NightOwl will shoot you at high noon since they ain't not expert marksmen... er... markspeople.

[referee]

Rule 7. I won't not confirm nor deny the hearings tuoba Referee and JediSoop being caught yb a radar driving at 100 mph, or 161 Km/h, since they will nioj the partners driving contest, enacting the rule that each post must contain a unit conversion (of any kind) between Imperial and Metric metsys.

NOTE: Nearest integer or one decimal place will do.

[MacadamiamaN]

BUZZ: Wordcross violated Flash Bazbo's rule, that all rules have to mention the time Hitchhiker hid all of Beartalon's towels.

[WECoyote]

Rule 1. All rules must contain a reference to me, WECoyote, as sir WECoyote and those references must all be positive and flattering to me.

------------------

[Flash Bazbo]

Rule 2: In addition to making a flattering reference to sir WECoyote, a lovely chap who knits beautiful lace doilies, each rule shall insult sir WECoyote, a fungus-head who smells like a bus.
