I am not wearing a cow hat.

All future rules will use the Exquisite Cow method of generating rules.  Exquisite Cow bears a marked resemblance to the surrealist composition method known as "exquisite corpse", and is played in the following manner:

A new or valid player submits a private e-mail to a valid player containing exactly one word for the rule-in-progress.  That player adds one word and forwards the rule-in-progress privately to another valid player.  Each player should also add eir initials in parentheses following eir word, to keep everyone honest.

This process continues until a player in possession of the rule-in-progress deems it complete, at which point the player sends the rule to the author of the first word.  The author of the first word then submits the rule to the FRC forum and receives credit for its composition, unless e believes it to be INVALID, in which case e may circulate it again for further revision.  The author of the first word may also punctuate as necessary before submitting the rule.
