Picking a Terrain is the act of moving to it. It does not need to continuously be mentioned.

Waiting for Liber to roll for my Anywhere Skeleton fight. Wait...

Rule 19. Liberonscien, whom can also be referred to as Liber, can designate a person to do rolls for him. However, it they are the one whose action needs a roll, Liber must roll for them.

Rule 9.

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.

Rule #0: Rules are only valid to posts that come after their creation.
Rule #1: Each post must contain exactly one new rule (and no double posts). Append it to the existing list of rules in a single quote.
Rule #2: Each post must honor all valid rules.
Rule #3: A new rule is only valid if it still allows the game to continue indefinitely.
Rule #4: To challenge the validity of a rule, make a post with only the contentious rule in quote. Provide justification for your claim. Response to challenges should also be in the same format.
Rule #5: Until a consensus is reached, a rule under debate is considered "optional".
Rule #6 (optional): If you know a rule is currently optional, please make note of it as such in your post.
Rule #7: The first 6 rules cannot be changed and as such, do not need to be repeated as they are assumed
Rule #7: Clause A: The first six rules may be amended if a sufficient number of people with to do so, and if Liberonscien deems it a good change.
Rule #8: It must be clear to all participants in this thread that it is nothing like the currently active Chaotic Nomic game.
Rule #9: Cats are cool.
Rule #10: You must state rule 9 after every post.
Rule #11: All players must pick a terrain of either Forest, Ocean, or Mountains. This can be changed no less than 48 hours after the last pick/change in terrain.
Rule #12: There may be no more than four (4) active "picks" per player at a time. A "pick" being a rule requiring a player to choose something and state it in any of their posts. Players may choose which "picks" to post if there are more than four (4) "pick" rules.
Rule #13: While you have picked a terrain, you can use amenities available in that terrain. The forest has a village, where one can trade things with villagers and/or other players in the forest. The mountains have a mine, where one can obtain a piece of ore for every 16 hours spent there. The ocean has a library, where one can learn magic, techniques, etc. once every 24 hours. New objects obtained, as well as new things learned, must gain agreement by 1/3 of the active players to be kept.
Rule #14: When stating "picks" (see Rule #12), the stating player must append the name of the rule in the format "Rule ##:". Example: If Rule #99 requires each player to state "Cat.", the player will instead state "Rule #99: Cat" in their post. "Pick" rules cannot exempt themselves from this rule.
Rule #15: A monster may spawn on the field, whether in a specific place, in no particular place, or not in particular places. Monsters apply temporary rules that can only be undone by defeating them in their place in a basic, chunky salsa d6 fight managed by Liberonscien. On defeat, an object is given to the player, whose worth/usefulness is determined by a d6 roll.
Rule #16: You must praise MoonyTheHuman at the end of each post, jut before applying rule 9.
Rule #17: If the rules are being posted in a spoiler, the spoiler must be titled "That dirty hooker stole my wallet."
Rule #18: In addition to their given definition in Rule #12, "picks" are now additionally defined as "statements or phrases added to the post in order to adhere to a rule". Example: If a rule states that a player must state anything at the end of the post, that statement would now qualify as a "pick" under Rule #12 and Rule #14, and any possible future rules.
Rule #19: Liberonscien, whom can also be referred to as Liber, can designate a person to do rolls for him. However, it they are the one whose action needs a roll, Liber must roll for them.
Rule #20: New rules must be bolded.

A "pick" being a rule requiring a player to choose something and state it in any of their posts.
Picking a terrain is still choosing something and stating it, so therefore, terrain qualifies as a pick. Also, Rule #10 now falls under Rule #18's additional definition of pick, so the "Rule 9" and similar statements now fall under the purview of Rule #14 [the rule requiring you to state "Rule #:" before picks]

Rule #16: Praise MoonyTheHuman
Rule #10: Rule 9.

Quote from: RAM
You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

The terrain is only chosen and stated in the post in which the player moves there. In other words, it only counts as a Pick when moving between locations.

Rule #21: A player may pick an offensive or a defencive strategy while fighting. Offensive adds +1 to attack rolls and -1 to defence rolls, while Defencive adds +1 to defensive rolls and -1 to offencive rolls. The +1's don't apply if a 1 is rolled on the roll, and the player must continuously pick the strategy to keep its effects. Only one strategy can be picked in a single turn.

Rule 9.

It was late, so I miss order it. I meant it to say: moons cannot be praised unless they are out in the sky, which is assumed to be otherwise unless stated.

Rule #14: When stating "picks" (see Rule #12), the stating player must append the name of the rule in the format "Rule ##:". Example: If Rule #99 requires each player to state "Cat.", the player will instead state "Rule #99: Cat" in their post. "Pick" rules cannot exempt themselves from this rule.
Rule #15: A monster may spawn on the field, whether in a specific place, in no particular place, or not in particular places. Monsters apply temporary rules that can only be undone by defeating them in their place in a basic, chunky salsa d6 fight managed by Liberonscien. On defeat, an object is given to the player, whose worth/usefulness is determined by a d6 roll.
Rule #16: You must praise MoonyTheHuman at the end of each post, jut before applying rule 9.
Rule #17: If the rules are being posted in a spoiler, the spoiler must be titled "That dirty hooker stole my wallet."
Rule #18: In addition to their given definition in Rule #12, "picks" are now additionally defined as "statements or phrases added to the post in order to adhere to a rule". Example: If a rule states that a player must state anything at the end of the post, that statement would now qualify as a "pick" under Rule #12 and Rule #14, and any possible future rules.
Rule #19: Liberonscien, whom can also be referred to as Liber, can designate a person to do rolls for him. However, it they are the one whose action needs a roll, Liber must roll for them.
Rule #20: New rules must be bolded.[/]

Rule #22: All rules must be accompanied by ascii art

Rule #0: Rules are only valid to posts that come after their creation.
Rule #1: Each post must contain exactly one new rule (and no double posts). Append it to the existing list of rules in a single quote.
Rule #2: Each post must honor all valid rules.
Rule #3: A new rule is only valid if it still allows the game to continue indefinitely.
Rule #4: To challenge the validity of a rule, make a post with only the contentious rule in quote. Provide justification for your claim. Response to challenges should also be in the same format.
Rule #5: Until a consensus is reached, a rule under debate is considered "optional".
Rule #6 (optional): If you know a rule is currently optional, please make note of it as such in your post.
Rule #7: The first 6 rules cannot be changed and as such, do not need to be repeated as they are assumed
Rule #7: Clause A: The first six rules may be amended if a sufficient number of people with to do so, and if Liberonscien deems it a good change.
Rule #8: It must be clear to all participants in this thread that it is nothing like the currently active Chaotic Nomic game.
Rule #9: Cats are cool.
Rule #10: You must state rule 9 after every post.
Rule #11: All players must pick a terrain of either Forest, Ocean, or Mountains. This can be changed no less than 48 hours after the last pick/change in terrain.
Rule #12: There may be no more than four (4) active "picks" per player at a time. A "pick" being a rule requiring a player to choose something and state it in any of their posts. Players may choose which "picks" to post if there are more than four (4) "pick" rules.
Rule #13: While you have picked a terrain, you can use amenities available in that terrain. The forest has a village, where one can trade things with villagers and/or other players in the forest. The mountains have a mine, where one can obtain a piece of ore for every 16 hours spent there. The ocean has a library, where one can learn magic, techniques, etc. once every 24 hours. New objects obtained, as well as new things learned, must gain agreement by 1/3 of the active players to be kept.
