Hmm... Maybe I'll wait to rejoin until all this gets figured out... I'm totally lost.

Well, it looks like we just repealed the entire ruleset (see rules 1 and 1637). Luckily, I was prepared for such an event. Since there's nothing preventing me from doing so, I define the following to be the new ruleset. (Rationale: since there are currently no rules, we can assume either that everything is legal or that nothing is legal. Since the latter would make the game rather pointless, I will assume the former is true.)

{{
Rule 0
The game shall be called B Nomic.

Rule 1
All players must follow all the rules described in this ruleset.

Rule 2
The game state (including the ruleset) may not be changed except in ways specified by the ruleset.

Rule 3
The player known as The Pusher Robot may change the ruleset by posting the change to a public forum. The B Nomic business mailing list (spoon- business@xxxxxxxxx) is a public forum.

Rule 4
A player is any entity who
a) was defined to be a player by the ruleset that existed prior to the initial version of this ruleset
or
b) has been added in a manner specified by the rules,
as long as said entity
a) still consents to be a player
and
b) has not been removed by other means.
The player known as The Pusher Robot may add or remove players by posting the action on a public forum. Any entity that is not a player may not interact with the game.

Rule 5
The first player to declare that they win on a public forum wins the game. After this occurs, no other player may win.

Rule 6
If a dispute over these rules arises, the player known as The Pusher Robot may settle the dispute by posting a resolution to a public forum. Any such ruling shall be final, unless superceded by another ruling made in the same manner by the player known as The Pusher Robot.
}}

I declare that I win.
