>>9's parents never went to college.

I hereby revise rule 4 to: 4. (m) If a rule has been found to be violated in a post, the person(s) responsible for the post cannot play the game for four turns in a state of "probation." The statue of limitations for committing a crime is one turn: that is, in order to be placed into probation, the post directly beneath the offending move must state how the preceding poster broke the rules. If one or more turns have taken place since a player has committed a crime, then he cannot be found guilty.

It's awfully long. If someone would like to split the rule or make rules which explicitly define punishments or kinds of crimes, that would be appreciated. Without further ado, the rules:

  1. (i) With each post, the player adds, removes, changes or makes immutable or mutable one rule.
  2. (i) Rules marked (i) are immutable. They must be made mutable (m) before they can be modified or removed.
  3. (i) Newly created rules are mutable (m). They can only be made immutable (i) by someone else.
  4. (m) If a rule has been found to be violated in a post, the person(s) responsible for the post cannot play the game for four turns in a state of "probation." The statue of limitations for committing a crime is one turn: that is, in order to be placed into probation, the post directly beneath the offending move must state how the preceding poster broke the rules. If one or more turns have taken place since a player has committed a crime, then he cannot be found guilty. 5. (m) Posts ending in 5 or 0 must list all present rules (so we can keep track).
  5. (m) With each post, the player must roll a six sided die and post the resultant number in their name field.
  6. (m) If the number (n) is greater than the previous poster's, they must grab the nearest available printed media and find the nth page, the nth line and the nth word. They must incorporate that word to insult the previous poster, without giving clear indication of which word was gathered from this rule.
  7. (m) If the number is less than or equal to the previous poster's, they must complement them.
  8. (m) Game ends when thread hits >>999
  9. (m) Posts whose post number is a prime number must be written in E-Prime.
