part one
make a new rule that say this
me who make this post is a guy. you who play this game is a guy too. if you not play this game at all then you is not a guy. and if you not play this game right now then you is not a guy right now but you is a guy once you start to play this game. but if you is a guy and you stop to play this game then you is not a guy for so long as you not play. just so we clear what me mean when me say guy.
part two
make a new rule that say this
if guy is thick then guy can just use short words like in this rule. set of rules will say how to tell when guy is thick.
part three
make a new rule that say this
if guy make a good post to make a rule that just use short words like in this rule then call that post cave talk. if a guy make a cave talk then chief may give that guy one point of smart but chief do not have to do this.
part four
make a new rule that say this
a guy can say me and not i and can make the verb not match the noun and can choose not to say the and so on. this be since this be how cave guys talk.
me want to see if me can make good rule with just short words like this.

The Research page can actually act like a kind of shadow ruleset for this kind of stuff to keep it out of the ruleset.

me not see ambiguity
I was tickled by the challenge of trying to write a complex rule proposal using only one syllable words. _You_ try doing that with a ruleset that already has a two-syllable definition of the dynastic equivalent of “player”.
In past dynasties, we’ve had rules that rewarded players for making proposals entirely in the form of haiku or a limerick (which occasionally resulted in some pretty weird syntax getting into the ruleset) but that’s part of the fun. Dealing with cookie monster syntax should be just as unproblematic.
Besides, nothing here would break the ruleset. All this says is that (1) an active player is a “guy”; (2) if a “guy” is “thick” (which is not yet defined) then he can only “use short words like in this rule” (i.e., one-syllable, but I can’t very well say “syllable” in the proposal); (3) the chief may, but is not required to, reward players with an intelligence point under certain circumstances (assuming that “one point of smart” is sufficiently unambiguous)
Plus, I have a thing for really oddly-worded proposals:
