Summary and eligibility: I will deem the round to have started at 2002-09-20 6:58:54, just before the posting of the first rule. All times GMT. I'd like to see some more rules. Please don't be frightened of the 14-digit prime: I pledge not to penalize a rule for using a previously-used one (there is no requirement that they be unique!)

Nominating or voting for oneself is invalid. > Rule Date: 2002-09-20 06:58:55 GMT Style: +1 A solid beginning to the campaign season.

This makes Web- based rules a serious pain to judge; hence the petulant style award. Much as I would like to argue that the Committee Clown has not made a joke here, I don't think I can.

Does this role actually reveal a plank? Maybe. Barely. Not a very interesting rule, but it gets +1 for making the election official's life a little easier.
