At the time of writing, the judgment of 216:9 was not clear to me. I think it's valid, and it doesn't matter, really. Anyway, I sincerely hope the Judge won't post a judgment in the next few minutes. ----begin 216:10---- Scissors cut paper. Paper wraps stone. Stone beats scissors. Or: Congress has power over the US Army. The US Army has power over Congress. A neat circle indeed. The Judge will decide whether Congress or the US Army is the Higher Power... so the Judge is Higher yet. But the Judge can only make his Judgment if the list host administrator allows the judgment to go through (see 216:1). But the list host administrator can only (see 216:2), etc. One really must hope that the Judge will make a fair-minded, neatly elaborated decision. However, based on evidence of past rounds, the Judge is more likely to be a corrupted by the posters of rules 216:08, 216:09 or *nudge nudge wink wink* 216:10. Subsequent rules must obey the scissors-paper-stone circularity principle of power. ----end---- (I'm afraid this was my last rule. I have faith that someone will beat this one, you guys are nothing if not inventive, but will I manage another submission after that? Doubtful.) --Arnt
