Future fireworks will be wider than the one immediately before them. Aha! Another twist. This Rule specifies the duration of an earlier firework after Rule that originally launched it. Nothing says you can't do that. Also, no other Rules have specified a duration for the firework, so no inconsistencies there. A quick check of all of the other Rules doesn't seem to reveal any inconsistencies with having the firework extended. Validity: The fireworks from 200:8, 200:9 and 200:10 are still in the sky, in addition to the firework 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 set off during the Rule is a unique color. 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 four fireworks in the sky during this Rule. The Rule fits within the McQuary limit. Rule is VALID. Style: -0.25 for a restriction that I kind of don't like. +0.25 for advancing the theme with its restriction. +0.25 for following its own restrictions. +0.25 for the new twist of specifying the length of a firework after the fact. +0.25 for following the restrictions of invalid Rules as well as the valid Rules. +0.25 for being short. Total style: +1.00 -- Jeff Weston (Sir Toby) -- Rule Date: 2003-01-17 21:23:00 GMT
