Sounds pretty subjective.  Especially if Mr. A fails to judge an irule to be a scam or irrelevant to the quest for an nweek...at that point does the statute of limitations kick in?  Or can Mr. A make said judgment at any time in the process of the quest?

And you didn't answer my question: "...and all others created by the rule's creator".  All other what?  Rules?  Dude...do you have any idea how much of the ruleset I'm responsible for?  I could create a deliberate emergency just by creating a deliberately scammy irule. :)

But okay, let's go for subtle now...

{{ _Glotmorf's Immutable Rule v2.1_

Rule changes by a given player must occur in consecutive quantities of two or more.  If a rule change by a player is not preceded by a rule change by the same player, no other rule change can be made until at least one other rule change has been made by that player.

}}

So I wait until late in nday 7 to submit all my proposals.  Then I wait until late in nday 10 to submit this irule.  As a result, since the irule isn't preceded by a rule change made by me, no other rule change (such as those in other people's proposals) can be made, except for the ones made by my proposals.
