CALVINBALL!!!

Permanent Rule: The only permanent rule in Calvinball is that you can never play it the same way twice.

Primary Rule: All rules are subject to be changed, amended or deleted by any player involved. None of the rules are required or necessary.

1.0 The following words are freely interchangeable when applying the Primary Rule:
-Can
-May
-Must
-Shall
-Will
-Would

1.1 All players must wear a mask and/or uniform (article 2.1)

1.2 Any player may declare a new rule during the game. This may be done audibly or silently depending on what zone they are in (article 1.5)

1.3 The Calvinball (article 2.2) may be used in any way the player wielding it sees fit, whether it be to inflict injury upon another player or to sustain personal benefit.

1.4 Penalties may be delegated in the form of embarrassment, pain or any activity the Subjugator wishes to enforce upon the player in breech of rule.

1.5 The Calvinball field should consist of zones governed by a set of rules declared by players. Zones may appear or disappear as often as a player decides. For example, a Corollary Zone would enable a player to make a corollary to any rule already made. Or an Opposite Zone would enable reverse playability on other players (of course, this zone would be declared oppositely by NOT declaring it).

1.6 Flags shall be named by players whom shall also assign power and rules which govern said flag.

1.7 Songs and/or verses must be sung spontaneously through the game when randomly assigned events occur.

1.8 Score shall be kept alphanumerically. It should have no bearing on the game nor should it have any logical consistency. (Legal scores include 'Q to 12', '2 billion to @', and 'Nosebleed to Pelvic fracture'
