So...you take offense that Sector 24 laughed at one of your many 'rules' (#17), but your first words written are "ha ha"?
It just shows that like everything else in this world AND the world of D3 there are many takes and sides to an issue.
IF you want people to NOT take advantage of loopholes (as THEY see it) then you need to make it public so it is somewhat enforceable.
IF you want secrecy, then don't whine when someone makes 5 agreements and HAS to honor one over the other (usually in his own self intrest) and states what the terms where/are in HIS opinion.
You have a full page of rules that you want players to abide by and what looks like sign an oath to obey.
For the most part I agree with you but there are several that seem to make no sense to me.
Not becaue they are bad, stupid, or wrong....But because they conflict with each other and saying that one agreement made because its a certain type (NAP) supercedes all others no matter WHEN it is made and (now this is what I mean ) in MY mind ridiculous.
You did a lot of work and I think if you where to prepare a game that you had to state that you would abide by those rules before joining, then I would think it would be GREAT.
But to propose that this be universal is just like secrecy...no one REALLY knows what was agreed to.
