No method? There might be a Rule 2125 problem here.

Good question. Rule 2141 says that the Rulekeepor can assign a number, and
doesn’t say in what way e must do so, so e could theoretically assign any
number. You’re right that this gives em some power over conflict
resolution. However, as a matter of convention, e only assigns the next
number in line. The rule is left unspecified so that there isn’t a problem
if e assigns the wrong number by mistake and also because defining which
number e has to use would require the rule to write out the algorithm to be
used. The benefit gained by assigning the wrong number is small enough that
the Rulekeepor can be trusted not to annoy everyone by breaking the
convention. Make sense?

Hello everyone,
I'm new, and I've just started reading the rules, so please forgive me if
this is has an obvious answer.
Can the Rulekeepor assign any ID numbers to rules that e wishes? I ask
because I noticed that the ID numbers of rules affect conflict resolution,
and there doesn't seem to be a way of assigning ID numbers specified in the
rules, thus giving the Rulekeepor some (small) amount of say in the
application of the rules.
