Rule #4. Anyone who uses or refers to rule #4 must start their post with, "Rule #4 is an excellent rule." — tim wood
Rule 10: (Had been Rule 9 but Banno beat me to the post) The author of this thread shall reveal the "curious implications" prior to any player stating any further rules. He shall also reveal all the consequences of any of the rules already established being broken. (If rules are broken along the way does this entail that the game first annihilates and then reincarnates itself over and over?) — Janus
Rule 14: In any search for supreme leaders and/or philosopher kings strict criteria shall be employed in order to rule out unlikely cadidates from the get-go and minimize the risk of wasted time and futile emotional investment. — Janus
Rule 15: All white people with brown hair must exclaim "Glub Glub Walla Walla" every time they use the word philosophy. Glub Glub Walla Walla — MonfortS26
Rule #9 is very esoteric; it questions whether all rules should have been stated in picture form up until this point, even though they have, by and large, not been stated in picture form. In an almost Warholian motif, T. Clark dramatically asks us this question with his rule. But, sadly, rule #9 is a deep, existential question, rather than a rule, and so, once again, rule #11 applies here, rendering rule #9 meaningless. — Noble Dust
Rule 9 says that Banno gets to decide any conflicts in the game. — T Clark
A quibble - you have focused on the form of Rule 9 and not it's content. As I said in a previous post: — T Clark
Except for the fact that I have lost interest in the game and I don't want to have to cut and paste a bunch of pictures together again, I would promulgate a rule giving that role to you. — T Clark
How do you determine this? You determine it on the basis of rule #11 itself. — Noble Dust
