First off, the previous Rule commenced while there were three fireworks in the sky (including one it launched), so the claim that the previous Rule waited to commence until there was only one firework in the sky is inconsistent with the previous Rule. I'll assume that this Rule commences immediately after the last Rule. The fireworks from 200:8, 200:9, and 200:10 are still in the sky, in addition to the firework (maybe?) fired off in this Rule. It is still possible for a subsequent Rule to be fashioned. It does not attempt to commence earlier than one second after the previous Rule. The Rule is exactly 200 characters (excluding whitespace) long. The firework that is (maybe?) set off during the Rule doesn't have a defined color. I guess that's a unique color, but no one will be able to see it from the ground, so the firework has no effect. The Rule does not contain any FRC Balloons. The Rule does not set off more than one firework. There are no other fireworks in the sky from this committee member. This Rule does not lack the launch of a firework. This Rule does not try to begin prior to the end of a previous valid Rule. There are three fireworks in the sky during this Rule. The Rule does not fit within the McQuary limit, as it is 12 lines long. Rule is INVALID. Style: +0.25 for a restriction I kind of like. -0.25 for being confusing with when the Rule commences, and when the restriction takes place. +0.25 for following its own restriction. Total style: +0.25 -- Jeff Weston (Sir Toby) -- Rule Date: 2003-01-17 17:27:28 GMT
