That is a bit of an assumption (although arguably in theme with the round). Who is to say that a member's ideas on what Utopia should be like are actually placing restrictions? Is it inconsistent for Player A's Utopia to have all Rules contain the letter z, but for some Rules not to contain the letter z? Or is it inconsistent with Player B's Utopia in which no Rules contain the letter z? The answer to the first seems to be yes but provided that the Rules of this round try to fit with every members Utopia (or at least the aspect of them they mention in rules). The answer to the second is yes only if Player A's Utopia and Player B's Utopia are in someway the same Utopia, or influence some other system, such that aspect of each utopia are present in that system. (e.g. the rules as in the answer to the first question.) This probably makes little sense, hope someone manages to pull something coherent out of it... Well at least in my Utopia they would be able to consider it consistent. Peekee -- Rule Date: 2003-04-14 20:31:06 GMT
