Invoking Rule 0 and removing all rules.
Rule 0: If this thread remains inactive for ten or more consecutive days, the next poster has the option to remove any or all rules excluding this one.
Rule 1: Any poster may create a rule, however, except under the conditions of rule 0, no rule may be changed or removed. Rules do not need to be numbered or specifically defined. Due to this possible ambiguity, cases of arguable legality are to be decided by a jury of peers. The procedure for doing this is as follows: one user begins a post with "-Time Out-" followed by the reason for their concern, and users discuss possible solutions to the problem until agreement is reached. "Agreement" is defined as at least 3 users agreeing on a solution, or one user's proposed solution going without dissent for 48 consecutive hours.
Rule 2: Rules may be contradictory to each other. In the case of conflict, the most recent rule is given priority (with the exception of the "Core" rules mentioned in rule 4).
Rule 3: No rule may fully imply another (no redundant rules).
Rule 4: Rules 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are considered "Core" rules. "Core" rules take priority over all other rules and are the only rules that can hold this property. No other rule can be declared core, unless an "agreement" to do so is reached, via the same procedure outlined in rule 1.
Rule 5: No rules may be retroactive (i.e. they can only affect themselves and posts after them, but not posts before them).
If the word cheese is in your name in some form, the next poster gains five radiant cheeses!
Inbound and outbound access to port 25565 has been granted, and every poster from here on out now loses one diamond for every C in their name. The number lost must be declared somewhere in your post. If you do not correctly declare how many diamonds you've lost, you will explode and all of the offender's scores will be reset to 0. If there are no C's in the poster's name, you are not obligated to declare anything in relation to this rule.
Every post must contain at least one sentence that ends with either "in accordance with the prophecy", "as Beethoven would say", or "except in bed". If the usage thereof is exceptionally funny, the next poster has the option to award you 1, 2, or 3 diamonds.
No double posting, unless the 2 posts are at least 24 hours apart.
Whoever finds badnik's first use of the word "it" in this forum (and quotes it here) wins a life-sized Quote plushie that can be traded in for 9001 diamonds. Or you could be the only person in the world with a life-sized Quote plishie. Take your pick in accordance with the prophecy.
Rule 28: If your name has 5 vowels in it you get 5 radiant cheeses, 5 diamonds and 5 Cherubs as a starter package (i.e. you only get it once). Y's do not count, as Beethoven would say.
If the word Seraphim is in your name in some form, the next poster gains a Seraph doll. You cannot trade in the Seraph doll for anything, the Seraph doll does nothing except look cute and bring you good luck.
Once per post, you may post one image. If the next poster's username is related to that image, they (the poster related to the image) earns 1 diamond.
Anyone who posts here that has a birth month of March, July or November must use the word "pie" in all of their sentences. Fail to comply and you will lose 72 diamonds, as Beethoven would say.
If there is an L in your name, the next poster has to post something saying what we can do with points.
No rule can be made with the intent of specifically targeting one member (even if it happens to affect other members as well).
If you post after anybody with two or more words in their name, you can get five shiny [last word in their name]. The only exception is any form of cheese, which yields radiant cheeses.
Four of the same shiny/radiant substance can be traded for any one catan resource (lumber sheep wheat etc).
Any catan resource can be used as it would be in catan to construct things.
Any currency/substance/resource can be used to build something as you would build it in minecraft.
If you construct a properly large army, you can wage war on some other player. If you win, you get to choose their location/user title/ signature as applicable for two weeks.
