Title: The Rules Game
Post by: pimathbrainiac on April 18, 2013, 11:54:31 am
The object of the Rules Game is simple: win the Rules Game

How? Make rules.

Set-in-stone rules:

You may not make a rule that automatically makes someone win/lose the Rules Game (... wins the game, ... loses the game, "if you do this, you win," etc.)
You may not double-post. period. (even in accordance the the forum rules)
Once someone wins, they will be posted in a winners list in this post, and a new game will start.
You may not comment on other people's rules without posting a rule in the same post (just say "comment:" before you make a comment)
You may not negate other people's rules
Rules remain for the duration of a game. If you don't follow them, you are out.
Edits count as comments
Edits to a violating rule are disallowed unless made before the next rule is made.
You are not allowed to join once the first person is out.
When there are two people left, if no new rule is made within a day of the previous, the person who made the last rule wins!



Winners (so far):

epic7 with: http://ourl.ca/18745/376490


I'll start:

I like poetry
And this is a cool haiku
All rules must be too

But wait, number friend!
Each rule must have a comment
That is, below yours.

comment: Okay you people don't know how to do haiku's...
Title: Re: The Rules Game
Post by: Builderboy on April 18, 2013, 05:59:44 pm
I sense a contradiction, one of the rules is to point out mistakes of your peers, but shouldn't people making mistakes be breaking rules and thus be out of the game?  o.O
Title: Re: The Rules Game
Post by: Dapianokid on April 18, 2013, 06:01:44 pm
Yes. If anything, future contestants were allowed to just point out the mistakes of only one dude towards the start and we could've, in theory, played indefinitely.
Most people seemed to understand the concept of the game, but because of everybody failing haiku's, I suggest we start over with an easier one.
Title: Re: The Rules Game
Post by: epic7 on April 18, 2013, 08:34:32 pm
New game? I agree.
First Rule:

Every new rule must not include the letter a.
Title: Re: The Rules Game
Post by: Juju on April 18, 2013, 11:00:46 pm
You must not use words over five.

Comment: Haikus don't have to have 17 syllables exactly, by the way.

:P You must include 1337 in your rules. :33

Only 1337 people don't use the @ sign in new rules. The next rule must include proper speech, except where rules override this one.

Dapianokid is out for not posting a rule with his comment.
also: 1337 is proper language, just a different character scheme :P

1337 p0sts must p0st rules in c0l0r.

Comment: Pimath and Dapiano both broke Juju's rule of words not being over five letters :P

Comment_2: Also, Dapiano, you broke my rule by not posting like a Homestuck Troll here are some examples (http://sonamyfan5139.deviantart.com/journal/HOMESTUCK-TYPING-QUIRKS-299014462)

Edit: Ninja'd (doesn't the 1337 speak override my rule of homestuck quirks?)

I forgot about this thread. O.O

New game!

Thou shalt use the phrase "thou shalt" to start every new rule.

Post by: bb010g on February 17, 2014, 12:22:45 am
Thou shalt finish all your rules with an interrobang‽

Thou shalt()

    printf("use c to state your rules");
}

Post by: pimathbrainiac on February 17, 2014, 12:30:19 am
Thou shalt(
{
    printf("include the word "lobster in every rule;
}


Comment: The closing stuff is for everything but braces, due to the way blue_bear_94 made the previous post.
Title: Re: The Rules Game

Thou shalt(

//Thou shalt
#define LOBSTER "use stderr if your rule has a number \
of characters that has 4 factors (these rhymes are a wonder!)

    while (lobster)
    {
        printf("make all the lobsters loops endless, so one does not OS 3.6 without ndless

edit: :ninja: 'd and I'm out. disregard this rule

Post by: pimathbrainiac on February 17, 2014, 12:56:05 am
It appears epic7 and blue_bear_94 are the only ones left! booleans are "bool" in c. Juju and I both closed parenthesis

no infinite loops necessary, people!

Active rules:

thou shalt
interrobang
c
no closing anything but braces
lobster
rhyme
Title: Re: The Rules Game
Post by: epic7 on February 17, 2014, 01:02:42 am
Thou shalt(
{
        printf("Use 100±5 characters in your post. Also, I like eating lobster on toast;
}


Edit: By 100±5, I mean somewhere between 95 and 105 (inclusive).

Post by: pimathbrainiac on February 18, 2014, 10:40:06 pm
epic7 is our first winner!

blue_bear did not reply within 24 hours, so epic7 won by default!

Congratulations, and you can start with the first rule!
Title: Re: The Rules Game
Post by: epic7 on February 18, 2014, 10:45:50 pm
Huzzah!
Let us commence.

Every rule shall contain at least one palindrome of more than 3 letters (can be multiple words), or else I will whack you in the side of the head with a kayak.
Title: Re: The Rules Game
Post by: pimathbrainiac on February 18, 2014, 10:48:03 pm
Every rule shall be related to a lobster racecar in some way, shape, or form.
Title: Re: The Rules Game
Post by: epic7 on February 18, 2014, 11:06:03 pm
Each new rule must never use the letter "o" and... wait, what is that vehicle in the distance?

Every rule must have a phrase causing the reader's defeat while playing "THE GAME".

Race fast, safe car.
