Rules Game v5.0 (Groza won (again).)

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

All right! Version 5!

Taken from 4.0, because I'm lazy. (Slightly Edited)

quote:

---

To play, you simply post a rule about rulemaking. Example:

1) All rules must bold every second word.

Your rule must follow itself and all the previous rules in that round. Players must go in the order in which they are listed. I'll try to keep the current "on deck" player in the thread title whenever I get a chance to update (good idea groza!) (ih8's comment: I will try and do this also. I might not be able to catch it every time, but I'll try.)

You are "buzzed" if:
1) you break a previous rule, or your own.
2) you fail to post your rule within 48 hours of the previous rule (weekends don't count).
3) you play out of turn.
4) you make it impossible for some future player to follow your rule, such as requiring each player to name a different item from a limited list.
5) you force a future player to break a rule (requiring something that will directly contradict a previous rule or requiring something that violates the laws of mathematics/physics/fair play).
6) any player could insist that the rule poster post another rule matching the conditions, as though it was one of the future rules (give a number). If the rule poster is unsuccessful, he/she is buzzed. Otherwise, the challenger gets a warning, and a buzz on the second instance. (Thank you Duke Gnome.)

When a player is buzzed, that player is thrown out, all rules are declared invalid, and a new round begins: the next player in line posts the new Rule #1.

A player who posts a rule after the invalid one, but before the invalid one is buzzed, will not be penalized. However, that player's rule (along with the previous ones) will be voided when the new round begins.

Please do feel free to "buzz" anyone you catch breaking a rule, even if you are not actually playing.

***NO EDITS OR DELETES.***(Except in this post.)

The last unbuzzed player wins.

Although I must mention that I'll probably have no internet access from the 19th to the 22nd.

[Duke Gnome]

I'll give it another go.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

Sweet, we need like 3 or 4 more.

This might go into school, during which I may not make deadlines.

[Chuck]

Your school called and said you could play this for extra credit instead of designing the next internet and inventing a faster than light propulsion system.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

All Right! 9 players! I'll wait until the end of tomorrow (approx. 25 and a half hours) to start the game, I guess...

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

oh, and excuse me for saying "All Right!" a lot. I'm a bit of a Homestar Runner freak.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

oh, and if you don't get the abov post, i dont blame you. i don't either.

it's time for bed now.

[Sparticus]

1. Each player must guess what I'm going to say next: "Sid Hoffman" or "Sid Frenchman".

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

Dang it! I was gonna post a topic about that!

[Polotet]

/in

[Werebear]

I'll be in. I'll also be gone Thurs-Sat, so don't put me top of the list.

[DMTsurel]

All rules must have an odd number of words.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

I suppose I should bring this up before anybody screws it up.

Numbers (as in "Rule #2 are not considered words.

[DMTsurel]

Is the word "rule" considered a word?

[MatthewV]

if you said...

Rule #1515: you can do stuff


...you would -not- break the above rule. So to answer your question, yes the word "rule" is part of your rule. Atleast that is the way the players of the last game treated it.

and Unheard knows he is in this game, but a VSN post shows he is away for a little bit more.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

I'll allow him to post a rule up until 23:59 on the 25th, sicne weekends don't count.

[Sparticus]

We could do what we did in Rules Game 4.0-Knock him to the bottom of the list and keep the game going.

[groza528]

That sounds fair to me.

[UnheardVoice]

#2: For every word that has two letters, the first letter must eb replaced with the second letter and the second letter must eb replaced with the first letter (sa ti was before ti was replaced yb the second letter).

[Duke Gnome]

Any word that has a prime number fo letters must eb bolded. Other words must remain unbolded

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

Note: 1 is NOT prime, no matter what you say.

[RequiemEternam]

#4) Only even numbered rules shall eb numbered.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

*applauds RE*

Not only does that apply to further rules, but PREVIOUS rules as well!

[Norinel]

Any word that appeared ni the previous rule must eb italicized.

[groza528]

6. All rules shall contain any color, angelically camouflaged among ta least two words.

[Hitchhiker]

[not part of game] Good one! [/npog]

[DMTsurel]

Forgive me for being the stupid one, but - can you explain the last rule?
