Add a Dynastic Rule, entitled “I’ll take potpourri for $100, Alex”, with text as follows:

Article I: You are {standing in an open field} {west of a white house}, with a {boarded front door}.  There is a {small mailbox} here.
Article II: You may not {talk about Fight Club}.
Article III: The second person pronoun refers to each Blognomicer.

against Because I haven’t checked to make sure there are no other “you"s in the ruleset.

“Dice
  References to “YDICEX” refer to Y X-sided dice, rolled within the GNDT. To roll dice, post DICEX in the comments field of the GNDT, replacing X with the number of sides on the die you wish to roll.”
Only other “you”.

for The Dice issue is irrelevant, especially considering the definition given in this rule still makes the Dice description make sense.

“...replacing X with the number of sides on the dice [all blognomickers] wish to roll.”

The standard english definition of “you” seems to make them work without changing anything.

“used to refer to the person or people that the speaker is”
~New Oxford American Dictionary
Because than “you” referes to each reader individually. At least the way I read it.

Galdyn: Article III redefines “you”, as it is the second person pronoun.
