I create a new rule with the following {{{ }}}-delimited text:

{{{
Title: Mars Needs Creampuffs

Players shall yell CREAMPUFF at least once a month.
}}}

I create a new rule with the following {{{ }}}-delimited text:

{{{
Title: Bake Me a Loophole

The player generally known as Wooble is required to follow the rules,
except for the one titled "Mars Needs Creampuffs".
}}}
