Also, it seems as long as the cardinality of the number of ways to win 
is infinite, it's fine. For example:
{{
A player wins if they say the phrase "I win" N times in a single 
message, where N is an integer greater than 10^100^100. There is no 
other way to win. This rule supercedes any other rule attempting to 
provide a way to win.
}}

And in any case a rule can always take precedence.

Also, what does "a given winning condition shall be optional for the 
player" mean?

Probably a better way is to use a simple time limit for winning. For 
example, only one Win may occur per nweek.
