Thank you for the clarification, Your Supreme Eminence. This
relatively straightforward gameplay is truly a divine gift.

My understanding is that it’s part of the definition of saying “X is the
Patron God” that the rule exempts all other rules with the same patron god.

I submit myself to the Agoran Gods! I submit the following rule to the

I dedicate this rule to ARCAS.
Every new rule must be dedicated to exactly one Agoran God, called the
rule's Patron God. The Patron God must have been mentioned in a previous
contest message.
The validity requirements added by rules after this apply only to rules
dedicated to a different Patron God. (For example, if a rule dedicated
to the LORD said that new rules must rhyme, that requirement would only
apply to rules not dedicated to the LORD.)
}
I praise the LORD. I thank ARCAS, god of the very land we live on. I
honour THE AGORAN SPIRIT OF THE GAME.
Clever, but does this work? If each future rule does not incorporate
this provision, then a rule that violates a future rule (even if the
same Patron God) would still be "inconsistent" with the rule that it is
violating, which would make it invalid.
