I become a player.

I create (this is not a suggestion, it's a unilateral exercise of my
rights) a new rule with the following {{{ }}}-delimited text:

{{{
A player is a person who is aware of the existence of the game who has
not been Exiled from the game. Other than the player generally known
as Wooble, all players are required to follow the rules. The rules
cannot impose a punishment for failing to follow the rules which is,
in the judgment of the player being punished, worse than Exile.
}}}

Wooble
