| Message | OOC: Hello, Govenor is correct. The proposed RP law is void for violating the following rules. 22.3 The following types of RP law are specifically disallowed and will be considered void: 22.3.1 RP laws which would not be reasonably easy for an inexperienced player to understand. 22.3.2 RP laws which contradict game mechanic laws."
