224:2 (james) VALID +2 Well, at first this would seem to be a round ending rule. After all, someone has posted a rule, therefore no one else may post a rule. Game over. However, I cannot know for certain if you are actually performing actions or holding opinions unless you tell me. After all, for all I know, your pet cat may have pressed the submit button, and therefore your cat performed the "post rule" action. And certainly I cannot read your minds (we'll be able to do this in the future, of course), so I cannot know your opinion unless you tell me. Examples: "I second XYZ rule" INVALID - this has been done already. "Future rules cannot ABC" VALID - You are not explicitly stating an action. "I think ASDF" VALID - no one else has said they "think" yet. "I believe ASDF" INVALID - although no one has "believed" anything yet, soneone has held the opinion "ASDF."
