The Secret Rule (2)

Bobithan ran this fun game here and I'd like to revive it if y'all would care to join me!

The rules are straightforward: each round has a rule. This rule applies to the each post a player makes, but you don't know what it is. You want to guess the rule to win. Upon correctly guessing, you get to determine the rule for the next game, provided it isn't too complicated.

You only get one guess each round. You can experiment with others through conversation to determine what the rule is. Please do not, however, simply post random content or consecutively. Excessive disregard for this request will get you dropped from the round.

Double posts will be deleted. Editing will be disabled.

(too long? too confusing? go read bobithan's rules, they're much more agreeable!) I opt to create a new thread a la Mafia because, well, it seems weird to take over his thread with such a host-involved game.

--
Tags I will be using:
INVALID - The guess in this post does not count (they already guessed/broke some rule)
INCORRECT - This guess is wrong.
RULEBREAKING - This post breaks the rule.
(I also will try to mark posts when I have checked the thread with a piece such as 'posts heretofore have been evaluated')
--
with that, shall we begin?

Re: The Secret Rule (2)

Is the rule to use spaces?

we don't answer questions. You get one guess (er, got).

My bad, I'll correct the sentence:
Guess: The rule is to use spaces, any post without spaces is rulebreaking

Hummerz what happened to this guess?

his guess was "is the rule to use spaces" and you only get one guess, you can guess the guess but then that's your only guess

eh im not even trying
i just have random nonsense come up to my head and dump it here

For this particular rule you have to come up with actual sentence and use correct grammar and puncutation it seems. However, some posts don't follow this ruleset exactly so maybe it's something else.
