-"No rule may prevent another player from creating rules" would be a good one, or you could designate certain actions (rule-making, throwing, dodging) "immutable," and say "no rule can prevent a player from performing an immutable action." So I could, for example, impose a three-word limit on your rules, or cut your range to one square, but since I'm not stopping you, it's okay.-
