TURN 2

For simplicity, I decided to give each rule a number. I'm still playing with the syntax, so please tell me if anything is unclear or can be improved.

All posts must contain a Bill Cosby reference.

Rule 12 invoked! The above rule will be modified to allow exceptions during turn posts.
RULE CREATION SUCCESSFUL! THE FOLLOWING RULE WILL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY: Rule 13: All posts must contain a Bill Cosby reference, except turn posts.

ALL POST MUST USE THE POKE-MANS.
Y'Know, with the Poke, and the Mans?

Rule 12 invoked! The above rule will be modified to allow exceptions during turn posts.
RULE CREATION SUCCESSFUL! THE FOLLOWING RULE WILL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY: Rule 14: From now on, all posts must use pokemon, except turn posts.

All the posts are now called cards, like the one my granddaughter plays. you know, with the pika-choo-choos.

Rule 12 invoked! The above rule will be modified to allow exceptions during turn posts.
RULE CREATION SUCCESSFUL! THE FOLLOWING RULE WILL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY: Rule 15: Posts must be called cards, except turn posts.

All text between (( )) is OOC, and rules don't apply to them.

((You can use the move button to move this.))

Rule 7 invoked! A conflict between the proposed rule and existing rules was found. Exceptions to rules cannot be created outside of rules. Rule broken!
Rule 3 invoked! You broke a rule. This means your proposed rule will not be added.

All Cards with the shooby-doo-bop and the boopbedoo have to have a Picture of a Fourth Gen. Pokemon!

((This could go places, but cards will eventually end up being paragraphs of....stuff.))

Rule 1 invoked! One rule proposal allowed per player per turn. You have already proposed a rule. Rule broken!
Rule 3 invoked! You broke a rule. This means your proposed rule will not be added.

Cards, even ones without pudding pops, may ignore other requirements if they contain only votes for the adoption of proposed rules, or the removal of existing ones.

Removal Vote: Fourth Generation Pokemon picture requirement.

Rule 7 invoked! A conflict between the proposed rule and existing rules was found. Exceptions to rules cannot be created outside of rules. Rule broken!
Rule 3 invoked! You broke a rule. This means your proposed rule will not be added.

The final words of each line in a card must rhyme.  Excepting nonofficial comments/spoilers/votes.  Just 'cuz
"I didn't ask to be born, but I'm glad I was."

Removal Vote: Fourth Generation Pokemon picture requirement.

WTF did they do to poor diglet??!!

Rule 12 invoked!  The above rule will be modified to allow exceptions during turn posts.
RULE CREATION SUCCESSFUL! THE FOLLOWING RULE WILL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY: Rule 16: The final words of each line in a post must rhyme, unless the line has comments/spoilers/votes, except turn posts.

Removal Vote: POKe and the Man pictures of the Fourth Generation, done!

All Cards must now contain a picture from Gen 1.
Here, for your convenience, chum.



((Yes, I suck at rhyming.))

Rule 1 invoked! One rule proposal allowed per player per turn. You have already proposed a rule. Rule broken!
Rule 3 invoked! You broke a rule. This means your proposed rule will not be added.

All votes must scip-scop-scoobity pass a final vote,
If not, we can cut the votes metaphysical throat.

Rule 14 invoked! No pokemon references detected. Rule broken!
Rule 3 invoked! You broke a rule. This means your proposed rule will not be added.
Secondary error: I have no idea what the scip-scoppity-scoob you're talking about. Please specify what you mean by final vote.

Spoiler: Current rules (click to show/hide)

Current rules:
1.Players may create exactly one rule each turn.
2.Players may vote exactly once each turn to either remove one rule or modify one rule in a suggested manner.
3.Posts that do not follow rules will automatically be ignored and their actions will be blocked.
4.Creation of rules that make it impossible or too impractical for players to create new rules or vote for the removal/modification of any rule(s), including itself, will automatically be blocked.
5.Creation of rules that contradict existing rules will automatically be blocked.
6.Creation of nonsensical rules will automatically be blocked. For instance, "asdshkjsfd" and "1=2" are not appropriate rules.
7.At the beginning of each turn, all rules with more than 3 removal votes will be deleted, and all rules with more than 3 identical modification votes will be modified as per the suggested modification.
8.The above rule is the only way rules may be deleted or modified.
9.The sequential order of rules cannot be changed.
10.After each turn all removal and modification vote counts return to zero.
11.Turns are carried out by Peglegpengeuin.
12.How turns are displayed cannot be modified by rules, though rules that effect the look of forum posts in general may be added with the caveat that they must be assumed to follow this rule.
13.All posts must contain a Bill Cosby reference, except turn posts.
14.From now on, all posts must use pokemon, except turn posts.
15.Posts must be called cards, except turn posts.
16.The final words of each line in a post must rhyme, unless the line has comments/spoilers/votes, except turn posts.
17.All proposed rules must be supported by another user.

Spoiler: Commentary (click to show/hide)

Hopefully this turn gave you a better idea of how rules work and chain together. If it wasn't for rule 3, for instance, there wouldn't be any consequences for breaking rules and all proposed rules would have been added. I do not advise removing or modifying rule 3. To be clear on rule 17, there wasn't a specified limit on how many times a player can vote for rules. If I wanted to be a real jerk, I could have taken this to mean anyone could vote twice on their own rules to get passed this. But since I'm such a nice guy, I modified the rule so that the would-be rule creator is assumed to support their own rule, and that someone else has to also support their rule. There is no limit to how many rules you can support, but no player can support their own rule twice. This isn't exactly written in stone, so feel free to create supplement rules to limit rule supporting. Also, please tell me if you want me to continue modifying rules in the way I did rule 17, or if I should take you all literally and at your word. We can also go with my modifying by default, but giving players the ability to explicitly turn that default off for their post.

(I approve, but am certainly confuzzled a little.  Not an attempt at a turn.  May take getting used to...)

(I approve, but am certainly confuzzled a little.  Not an attempt at a turn.  May take getting used to...)

Can you specifically tell me what's unclear. It might be an error on my part.

[pisskop]

Cannot require Bill Cosby reference and not require Bill Cosby reference, cannot require pokemon and not require pokemon, cannot require posts be referred to as cards and not require posts be referred to as cards (errors = 3)

(For starters, I had to read this 2.5 times before getting its meaning.  For two, rules become effective immediately?  When a rule would be blocked we still follow it until you say its blocked?)

[peglegpengeuin]

I was originally not going to make rules immediately take effect, but other players started playing like they did. After that, I figured it was a more natural way to play. Basically, at the beginning of each turn I will read the rules in order. If the rule is added, then it is used to judge whether the next rule is added, and the rule after that, and so on. If you believe a rule will be blocked, you do not have to follow it. How you submit your posts should be based on how you predict that proposed rules will be blocked or modified. I think I'm going to change the syntax drastically. Tell me if you think it is more clear.

Bill Crosby Pokemon all cards can only refer to one other card per turn
don't be slow go with the flow

[Wayward Device]

Dear Bill Crosby Pokemon,

I, your humble servant and brother in Non Secular Monster Worship, formally submit that:

1. All cards must be written in the most Unnecessarily Formal Tones.

2. There is an unspoken agreement that, due to the existence of an unknown number of infinite universes, all cards are represented in 1x1000 scale in an alternate dimension as giant bronze slabs carved by unknown, mysterious and ancient cyclopean forces. All carders should hold the truth of this fact in their hearts, but not really mention it to often. Finally, if any carder uses knowledge of the slabs for evil, all previous carders must chip in to pay for mercenaries for the assassination of the aforementioned evildoer. 

Sincerely,

Wayward Device
