Well this game is lame and people already broke my rule so it's not been valid since my post. I didn't see anywhere where you could go against an author's intentions and just taking it as a literal translation. I don't see anything in the meta rules that gives it special approval.
go with it and make a rule that forgives all the previous posts for breaking rules then :)
Edit: or even better, make a rule that allows people to vote to reset the game back to the first 6 rules.

Oh, I found it. It said that since the first 6 rules couldn't be changed, they didn't need to be repeated in the rule lists. I was just doing things the way everyone else was doing them, so I didn't remember it. Sorry.

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 #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.[/]

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

Rule 27 is rather unnecessary because rule 3 states that a new rule is only valid if it allows the game to continue indefinitely.
I personally believe that if a new rule does not allow the game to continue indefinitely then it is not valid. Furthermore, if a new rule stops allowing the game to go on indefinitely, then it is not valid.

True. rule 29 is valid, however, as the game simply starts from the beginning again, not 'ending' it :P (not arguing, making a point)

I think this rule unnecessarily restricts what can be done which will cause the game to be unable to go on indefinitely meaning it isn't valid.
