It's the rules game!

@Ixcaliber

I had to improvise a new round because the one I had premade really depended a lot on having at least access to the original Postmaking threads.

But anyway I have worked out a new one and this one is themed around some of my favourite movies of this year so far.

And just for reference yes I have watched a lot of Halloween movies recently but none of these are Michael Myers themed.

This post passes rules 1, 2 and 4.

@btp

I offer a gift.

I am so smart!

Passes rule 2, 3 and 4. If I wanted to be really rude it could pass rule 5 as well but I am opting not to be rude to my friends.

Also just to be clear this is the closest anyone has gotten to passing rule 1.

This is not a post.

Passes rule 3 only but I do love to see Tunic foxie.

[Akumu]

Aw dang I thought I had figured out rule 5. >_<*

I believe this passes no rules. Rule 5 is the only one where I’m not 100% but that’s my own fault for not building a more robustly worded rule with clauses to exclude certain circumstances.

Okay. So. As we all know I’m always very good at hosting the Rules Game and never need to make mid round alterations or clarifications. In retrospect Lankie’s post early today wouldn’t have passed rule 5 even if I was going to be mean. For the rest of the day my brain misinterpreted the restrictions actually in place on rule 5 without going to consult the written text of the rule and I might have given some incorrect implications.

Passes rule 4.

When I was coming up with these rules Polite Society was one that I workshopped but my brain got too focused on the actual fucking events of that movie and I couldn’t come up with anything that made any sense.

[sophorose]

If it’s fine, I’m just just going to take advantage of technicality and try my hand at this one, if you may.
There’s ghostly things afoot.

Look at these people standing here - they’re doing quite well.


What’s that…?



Oh no…!



How could this have happened…!?

It’s a real stretch but I’ll give you a rule 4 pass on this one.
