  • In your post, you may delete one rule, and then you may create one new rule. Your post is not affected by the rule you deleted, as the deletion is considered to happen before the posting itself. It is not possible to alter, delete, or avoid any rules in this post in any way, shape, or form.
  • Players are advised to be clear and concise when creating rules.
  • Players are advised to keep track of new rules.
  • Liberonscien reserves the right to modify this list at anytime in case Liberonscien messed up when writing it.
  • Players must include in their rule its number.
  • If a rule has not been given the proper number then it is to be considered to have self deleted. Rules can be edited to avoid this provided it is edited within 24 hours of being posted.
  • No rule can be given a number that has already been used.

-All posters must pick an animal to represent them. This may come into play later.

I'll go with cat, if no one decides to delete the rule.

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

Excellent idea.
I'm going to add a new rule:
Animals that are not real must be approved by at least one other player.

I claim mantis shrimp.

I approve of it.

The first 10 rules added to the original 4 rules rules cannot be altered, removed, etc. until an 11th additional rule is posted, and until then, no rule can prevent rules from being added.
(this is rule #2)

Before a player posts on this thread for his/her first time, they must fill out a Integrated Organizational Capacity (IOC) form and PM it to the Chair of the Committee for Bureaucratic Affairs, aka Pavellius.

Spoiler: IOC Form (click to show/hide)

I choose Sloth.

Yo. Does my rule count as "preventing rules from being added," because I will edit it if it does.

Also, wouldn't your rule be rule#3?

I don't think your rule counts, since I was referring to non-OP rules. Also, your fourth OP rule contradicts your first OP rule. Lastly, right; this next rule should be rule #5.

When choosing their animal, a player may choose to gain either a plush of their animal, a living version of that animal, and/or a mask of the animal's face. If none of those 3 are chose, the player receives a Wild Coupon. If a player already provided their animal, they may do this now.

I pick all three: Blue cat mask, black cat, and white cat plush, with purple, yellow, and light blue eyes respectively.

I choose to gain a Wild Coupon.

-If a post would refers to or address a player who possesses a Wild Coupon, the poster must begin the post with "To Honorable [username]:" (with [username] replaced by the player's username), unless the poster possesses more Wild Coupons than that player.

Rule #7
Future effects of rules are optional if the effect does not have to do with animals or nature. This rule cannot be invoked if the relation to animals/nature is being the exact opposite of/opposing it, etc.

'Pets black cat, whom will be named Midna'

(Just realized that this isn't mentioned in the OP or anything at all)
Rule #8
A player cannot make a new rule if they were also the last player to make a rule, except once every 24 hours per player, when they can put a new rule no less than an hour after the prior rule was posted.

As I understand it, this rule would have no effect because of Rule #7, except that Rule #3 protects it.

Whoops! I forgot to write that that it would specifically affect rules that involve Wild Tickets.

Write that where?

Anyway, I remove Rule #7. Rule #3 cannot stop me because this aspect of Rule #3 breaks OP Rule #1.

Rule #8:
You win the game by becoming God Emporer Trump. You can only become God Emporer Trump when all posters agree you are God Emporer Trump.

I remove Rule #8, and replace it with..

If a majority of the people active in the thread (at least 3) believe you are a politician, you automatically lose, and turn into a golden wig.

Rule #9
Pavellius has two other personalities, who count as their own players and posters. Their names are John and Shaka-Zulu.

I think OceanSoul is a politician.
