This is a game about writing rules on blank cards, putting them into play, and eventually winning. Maybe.
Basic rules:
At the start of the game, you are given 5 cards to write; they'll then be shuffled with the main deck, from which you'll then get your starting hand of 5 cards.
On each turn, you're given a card from the deck; you can then write a card and play one if you want (and if you can).
If the deck is out of cards, you get a blank card by default instead.
Each round will finish when everyone has played a card, or by default after 72 hours.
Anything written on a played card takes precedence over any of the rules, except if the rule is bolded.
[*]If you leave the game, your hand goes back to the draw pile.
[*]A player automatically leaves the game if he did not participate for 2 full turns.
About card creation:
A card can be written from any blank card, and must contain a title and a rule; if possible, you should also add a picture and/or flavor text.
A card is not officially written until a copy of it is sent to me via PM.

Ending the game:
A card's rule may include a win condition. To win the game, a player must fulfill a win condition from any card, and keep it in effect until the end of the next round. If he succeeds in doing so, he wins the game. This is the only way to win a game.
There may be multiple winners to a game.
At the end of the game, all the cards in play are put in the deck and blank cards are added to get an equal mix in order to create the next game's starting deck. This does not included cards that were somehow destroyed.
No card can remain in play after the end of the game.
You don't necessarily have to make a picturefor a card; you can also have the picture be separate from the rest and not include the text in the pic itself, or even take a picture you found on the web. I chose that one example because it was the most card-like I could find that didn't somehow involve nazis.
/in I guess, though as a fair warning I'll only be able to create new cards on nights/weekends.
I may go more in a nomic direction with this but should be fun :p
this is the type of game that I think would be fine if players joined midgame. Sure, they're at a disadvantage but I think it'd still be fun for everyone.

Yeah, that sounds right, I should change the rules to let players join midgame, and just not be able to send their pre-game cards.
I'm going to probably read this thread anyway, may as well play in it.

*It may be held by someone else if you discount the major downtime in 2012 and 2014, I'm not doing the research.
You have to make 5 cards (see the 2nd section of the rules) and PM me them, then wait for the game to start. You have until roughly Thursday at noon to submit them.
