Rules Are For Humans only has 20 wicks despite existing since 2009. Despite that, the only difference I can see between it and My Rules Are Not Your Rules is that Rules Are For Humans is for video game adaptations of other types of games (such as board games), while My Rules Are Not Your Rules applies to video games in general, making Rules Are For Humans The Same, but More Specific in addition to underused.

I think we should redirect it to My Rules Are Not Your Rules and move examples there.

The difference is that Rules Are For Humans allows the computer to break some well-established core rule that is part of the original game definition, such as move restrictions in chess.

Agree that it's probably not common enough to differentiate from YRanMR.

Interestingly, two previous TRS threads seemed to agree, but then never carried through.

[up][up][up][up]We can tweak My Rules Are Not Your Rules' description to account for that difference. For example, we can add a bit of text saying that if a video game is an adaptation of a non-video game, the rules in question originated from the original non-video game.

Redirect, move examples, clarify description to include adaptations, and folderize examples by genre

Counting the OP, that's 10 yes votes so far. Enough to waive the Three-Day Rule, or do we need more?

Technically, three days passed already as this thread was made on July 31st.

Anyways, calling thread in favor of redirecting Rules Are For Humans to My Rules Are Not Your Rules + moving the examples there and adding a line to the description regarding adaptations.
