Got this idea from another forum. In the Rule Game, each player must post a rule that follows all of the preceding rules while adding a new restriction.

Rules that must always be followed:

  • 1. You must post all previous rules in addition to the new rule (except for these three universal ones).
  • 2. No rules such as "This must be the last rule" or ruling out any previous rule.
  • 3. If a posted rule defies a previous rule, the game is reset and someone must post a new rule number 1.

I'll start:

  • Rule 1: All rules following this one must contain at least one 9 letter word that was not previously used in another rule.

2. dancing in the courtyard is strictly prohibited.

(does it have to be forum-related?)

so much to do, and yet... here, it feels like one cannot do anything but lie here and sleep forever.

Rule 6 stands in direct contradiction with rule 1, as it does not contain a nine-letter word.

As such, the rules are reset.

Rule 1: The number of words in every rule that follows this one needs to be even for even-numbered rules and odd for odd-numbered rules.

Rule 5: Smoking next to the computer on which one accesses the forum is grounds for Cool and Unusual Punishment. Discussion of Tobacco products in general is strongly discouraged, and shilling tobacco products is grounds for the worst slap on the wrist you will ever receive. Ever.

Rule 6 (the first one posted) is against Rule 1 since it has 23 words. Reset!


Rule 1: All rules must contain a word with the same number of letters as the rule number (e.g. Rule 5 must contain a five-letter word).
