Each player associated with them a score. This score is measured by an integral number of points. Points and scores are not entities.

When the rules say that a player gains or loses a number of points, his score is increased or decreased by the appropriate number. The rules specify the only ways in which scores and points may be manipulated.

This rule takes precedence over all rules concerned with the manipulation of points or scores. This rule is renumbered to 310, and this sentence is then removed.

Where this rule says that a random determination is made, it will be made by the Speaker, with all options being given equal probability.

At the beginning of each calendar week the following steps are performed precisely once, in the order in which they appear.

1. A random number between the number of the lowest numbered rule and the number of the highest numbered rule whose number is less than 10000 is selected. This random number is know as Voltage.

2. If there is no rule numbered Voltage then the Shock will consist of no text at all.

3. If there is a rule numbered Voltage, then a random paragraph within that rule shall be selected, and then a random sentence within that paragraph shall be selected. This sentence is known as the Shock.

4. If the Shock contains any noun phrase then a random noun phrase within the Shock is replaced with the double-quote delimited noun phrase "this rule".

5. This rule is then amended by appending the Shock to this rule.

Should the Donut Warehouse ever own precisely 666 Donuts, this rule will  be repealed.

In shape, the Universe is a hollow torus (that is, the Universe is shaped like a Donut).

The Universe is a named, unownable, non-transferable entity. All other entities are contained within the Universe, and the Universe is not contained within any Zone.

Any questions about what lies outside the Universe may be met with any degree of scorn, because there can by definition be no "outside" to the Universe.

The game mechanics, in their never-ending search for biscuits, have created a network of underground tunnels from which they may access any place in the land of their existence. The gnome population though, is increasingly dwindling as death-rates rise and birth-rates fall. The game mechanics need biscuits to survive. As such they offer their services to players of RFN, to be treated like other objects and passed along their underground tunnels to other destinations. Game mechanics though are foolish and can be tricked by players into believing that donuts, which, like all gnomes, game mechanics despise are in fact biscuits.

As a result any player may ask the game mechanics to take them to another zone, providing the player meets the entrance requirements of that zone. To do so the player must give 50 donuts to the game mechanics, which they instantly eat thus removing them from the players possession. on their next visit to the donut warehouse, occurring instantaneously after the player appears in the zone they have been taken to, the game mechanics, now realising they have been tricked, throw up the donuts whole thus leaving them in the ownership of the donut warehouse.

The player must also specify which zone they wish to be carried to. The player then instantaneously appears in that designated zone.

Should the player not wish to part with so many donuts they may offer 25 donuts to the game mechanics who will then eat, the donuts, resulting them being returned to the donut warehouse by the same process as detailed above, and carry the player to a randomly determined zone in which the player meets all the entrance requirements.

The rules specify the only way on which players may change their location. This rule in no way defines the state of existence of the playing area or the players of RFN.

He does so by informing all players of how many of his Wise Moon Apples he wishes to so transform, and which of the options he wishes to transform them to.

If an error in the recording of any game function, state, value or variable which is explicitly recorded (or whose recording is regulated by a rule) occurs and is not pointed out publically by a player for a period of fourteen days, the correct record is considered to have been lost to The Void of Antiquity and the false recording is now considered the correct one.

NAMEGAME

Name that Thing

Entities may be named or unnamed. Names may be any string containing letters, digits, spaces, or any of "? / \ ! £ $ % & * , . ( ) - + = * ^ @ # ' ~".  For the purposes of the rules, these symbols constitute the set of characters.

Any name may be at most 128 characters long, unless the rules state otherwise.  The name of a player may be at most 32 characters long.

Each entity name must be unique within the set of entity names.  Each rule name must be unique within the set of rule names.  An entity may, however, have the same name as a rule, if that name is otherwise a legal entity name.  If two entities have at any time the same name, then the second entity to have the name shall be renamed using the method defined later in this rule.  If the order in which they were named can not be determined in the opinion of the speaker, or if they obtained the name at the same time, the speaker shall randomly choose which name shall be renamed.

All players must have a unique name.  A player may change their name at any time by publicly announcing that they are doing so, stating their new name. Initially, all players have a name identical to the name that appears in the From field of their email, or the first characters up to a maximum of 32 characters of that field if the name would otherwise be invalid according to this rule.

All rules must be named, and the name of a rule may be of any length. If ever any rule has no name or an illegal name, that rule receives a name consisting of the quoted phrase "Rule X", where X is replaced by the number of that rule.  If two rules are given the same name, the rule with the greater number is renamed as per this paragraph.  A proosal which creates a new rule may specify a name for that rule, and that rule will be created with that name.

The following steps are taken in the given order if the rules call for an entity to be renamed because of an ambiguous name:

1) A space (quote delimited character " ") is appended to the name.

2) The lowest natural number, where a natural number is an integer greater than zero, that will not result in an ambiguous name, is appended to the name.

3) If the name exceeds the allowed name size, the character directly proceeding the number is deleted and step 2 is repeated unless the name would no longer have any non-digit characters, in which case the speaker gives the entity an arbitrary legal name.
