[Game] Habeus Corpus (Practice Round)
This game comes from my own mind, made with a ruleset that ensures (hopefully) no flaws in the game and perhaps will turn out to be pretty decent at some point. It's very complex, so I advise you read through the first post fully before attempting to play, but if you feel like it you can just post a random rule. Just don't expect NOT to get banned from the current round. 
Anyways, without further ado, I present to you... Habeus Corpus:
Starting Off:
The game ends when no one makes a post within the last 24 hours of the last valid post. When this happens, the person who posted last has won the game (the one who made the final rule). The last poster's rule is set as a "restriction" for all following games, meaning that rule cannot be made.

For all intents and purposes, my first rule will be:
You must bold your posts.
Anyways, without further ado, I present to you... Habeus Corpus:
Starting Off:
- First post is normal, saying the rules and how the game is played.
- The first poster then makes a rule that contradicts what the player made, such as "No Posting First."
- The second poster then makes another post, not breaking the rule in the first post, then makes another rule against something he posted.
- The next poster then makes a post which does not break any rules declared in any above posts, then posts a new rule that he broke in the post.
The game ends when no one makes a post within the last 24 hours of the last valid post. When this happens, the person who posted last has won the game (the one who made the final rule). The last poster's rule is set as a "restriction" for all following games, meaning that rule cannot be made.
Game Rules:
- Edited posts are invalid. Any post with the messaged "Edited X times by Y." will instantly be made invalid. This rule does not apply only to the first post.
- You may not double post. If you post more than once, the first one will be kept and the others deleted.
- If you break a rule, you're banned from the game until next round. The judges of banned players are the moderators/admins of the forum, so be on the lookout.
Current Restrictions on Rule-Making:
- No bans which break general forum rules or encourage others to break general forum rules: This game is being posted on several forums, so I can't exactly link you. However, you should know that you cannot make a ban such as "You must post nudity" on a forum where posting nudity is against the rules. You can try to be humorous (eg. you must make a picture of every rule) but please... use common sense.
- No bans with more than one object:
- "No ellipses." is a valid ban.
- "No ellipses or triangles." has more than one object, and thus is invalid.
- No bans using double negatives (No not using numbers, No not misspelling, etc.)
- No bans negating or forcing players into previous bans:
- First rule is "You must bold your posts." A perfectly valid rule.
- Second rule is "You must not bold your posts." This is invalid as it negates the previous ban.
- No bans disallowing typing as a whole (No typing, No using vowels, etc.)
- No bans disallowing posting as a whole (No posting, You may not press "Send", etc.)
- No bans forcing posts to break rules (No single posting, You must edit your post, etc.)
- No bans forcing a player to win or lose (This post must win, The next poster is banned, etc.)
Banned Players:
- None. Yet.
Scoreboard:
- Uneventful.
For all intents and purposes, my first rule will be:
You must bold your posts.
