You're a nice guy.

9.(m) Game ends when thread hits >>999

Great thread >>1!

i mute rule 9

Ow, my eye!

I promise we make rule 2 (m)

>>3 has violated rule 8 by complimenting >>1 instead of >>2.

>>4 has violated rules 6, 7 and 8.

In accordance with rule 4, both posts shall be disregarded entirely.

I hereby make rule 9 immutable.

>>2 has good taste in shirts.

In accordance with rule 5, The current list of rules is:

1. (i) With each post, the player adds, removes, changes or makes immutable or mutable one rule.

Sorry, I'm on a mobile platform. I meant propose, not promise. Also forgot my number.

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.

9. (m) Game ends when somebody loses an eye.

Proposed: Game ends on 999, rule 2 becomes (m)

I change a rule:

7. (m) If the number is greater than the previous poster's, they must mock/insult them.

to

7. (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 is so handsome, women mistake him for Boris Karloff.

The sight of >>8 makes me want to throw up.

Easier word than I expected, considering I picked up a kanji dictionary. Thankfully page 3 was still the preface.

I hereby make rule 4 mutable, because I believe we need harsher punishments for those who break the rules.

>>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.

>>10
I like the statute of limitations idea. You seem like a cunning fellow!

New rule:
11. (m) Newly added rules must not exceed 300 characters in length.

>>11
Your mom wouldn't be able to calm herself down from her crippling depression even with a thousand cocks.

I change rule 8 to "Game ends when thread hits >>999, more than 50 rules are created and/or a tautological stalemate between two immutable rules are made."

>>12
You wield a sharp mind and a mighty wisdom.

I bestow immutability (i) on rule 5. (Note: mr. >>10 wrongfully created another rule 5.)

>>12 really changed the way I think about the world!

I change rule 8 to
"8. (m) Game ends when thread hits >>999. Every post number divisible by 30 is hereby appointed appointed "Judge." If a contradiction in the rules is called into question, the next Judge must rule on the case, and his or her interpretation will be law. Until the Judge rules, the rule with the lower number will take priority over the rule with the higher number."

Note that this is more than 300 characters, but Rule 11.(m) only applies to newly added rules, so my move is legal.

>>13's hair pleasantly reminds me of cinnamon cocoa on a quiet snowy morning.

>>14 violated the rules by complimenting the wrong poster. >>14 is now on probation for 4 turns.

I hereby add rule 12: "Each player starts with 10 DQNcoins. A player adds their number (n) to their total DQNcoins and posts how many coins they have."

Here are the current 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.

4a. (m) Posters who reference the wrong post within 3 minutes of the previous poster are exempt from rule 4.
5. (i) Posts ending in 5 or 0 must list all present rules (so we can keep track).
6. (m) With each post, the player must roll a six sided die and post the resultant number in their name field.
7. (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.
8. (m) If the number is less than or equal to the previous poster's, they must complement them.
9. (m) Game ends when thread hits >>999, more than 50 rules are created and/or a tautological stalemate between two immutable rules are made.
10. (m) Posts whose post number is a prime number must be written in E-Prime.
11. (m) Newly added rules must not exceed 300 characters in length.
12. (m) Each player starts with 10 DQNcoins. With each post a player adds their number (n) to their total DQNcoins and posts how many coins they have.

I now have 13 DQNcoins.

>>15's parents must have raised him to be a blabbering fool since he added a "rule 4a" into the list. Fortunately, rule 5 doesn't specify anything about unrelated fake rules mixed in along with the list of real rules, so it's not a violation. I'll forgive him since he's me. Let's just pretend that rule 4a was never written.

Anyway, I make rule 6 immutable.

I now have 19 DQNcoins.

>>15 is a smelly sock for taking >>15 when I was just about to submit mine (don't worry, I still love you).

I add rule 13:
13. (m) Each post must be at least 30 minutes apart.

I now have 14 DQNcoins.

>>17 is not-too-bright. He is actually pretty dumb.

I hereby change rule 4 as follows:
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." only if caught by the next following poster. Any changes made by the offender are implemented the opposite way around. If this change is impossible then the changes must be ignored. The poster who caught the offender must announce the update.

Note: part (a) of rule 4 no longer exists.

I'm a proud owner of 14 DQNcoins.

14. (m) You get one DQNcoin for every rule you break.

I got 18 DQNcoins
