Ruling: Invalid
Style: +2

This falls afoul of 193:5 "All future rules must define a slogan for
their respective party."  Unlike the one in 193:4 this does not seem
to limit itself to rules which nominate someone; we may not know
what the "respective party" of a rule which does not nominate is,
but I don't believe that escapes the restriction.

Positive style for correctly spelling Tripper's position, and for the
very slick attempt to get around the fact that if Karl is the Odd
One, this rule can't be valid.  I needn't decide whether the slick
trick would have worked or not, due to the issue above; so I
won't.
