_Rules_and_Judgements_
Rule 198:1 (Ed Murphy, 2002-12-14 05:28:41 GMT) VALID +1.0
----- 198:1 begins below this line -----
In honor of George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television",
each future rule shall have no more than seven words in common with
any one previous valid rule.
------ 198:1 ends above this line ------
Validity: VALID.
Style: A slight bonus for catering to the judge's peculiar taste for
structural restrictions, a slight penalty for being closer to the theme of
Television than FRC TV: STYLE +1.0.
Rule 198:2 (Doug Chatham, 2002-12-14 12:46:41 GMT) VALID +0.5
---- Begin rule -------
Future rules, protest rule 1's evil censorship!
---- End rule ---------
Validity: VALID.
Style: I can't help but wonder how long this restriction is going to remain entertaining, but perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised. Also, nothing has yet hewn quite as close to the theme of FRC TV as I would like to see. STYLE +0.5.
Rule 198:3 (Alan Riddell, 2002-12-15 11:40:47 GMT) VALID +1.5
----
FRC-TV needs a more varied broadcasting schedule, as such no two valid rules
will have the same number of sentences. However, as the first rule of this
round creates such evil censorship it will be ignored for this restriction.
----
Validity: VALID.
Style: This is a bit closer to what I had in mind, thematically. STYLE +1.5.
Rule 198:4 (Ed Murphy, 2002-12-15 22:50:25 GMT) INVALID +1.0
----- 198:4 begins below this line -----
All subsequent rules must include an advertisement for a product that has
not previously been mentioned.
**********************************
* *
* KABLAMMO COLA MAKES YOU COOL! *
* (This message brought to you *
* by the same people who imposed *
* that evil censorship in 198:1) *
* *
**********************************
------ 198:4 ends above this line ------
Validity: Violates 198:1 by sharing 8 words with 198:3 (censorship, evil,
same, the, this, a, for, rules). INVALID.
Style: STYLE +1.0.
Rule 198:5 (Andre Engels, 2002-12-16 16:06:02 GMT) INVALID +2.0
=======================================================================
Suffering from a headache? Eat Fine Rough...
We are interrupting the current commercial for an extra program. Doing so
may be bad, but not as bad as the censoring done by Rule 1.
Here is the Extra News Bulletin. The rules after the current one should
mention a new program and its scheduled time, since all other programs do
run on a scheduled time. So far the Extra News Bulletin, let's hear the
commercial again:
... Chocolate! It may not do any good for your headache, but it certainly
does good for our wallets.
======================================================================
Validity: Violates 198:1 by sharing 8 words with 198:3 (a, the, for, be, as,
rule, rules, it). INVALID.
Style: A large bonus for not merely dressing the rule with thematic
references, but attempting to introduce a requirement which is itself
strongly on theme. STYLE +2.0.
