Just because the rules don't explicitly declare themselves as a binding
agreement doesn't mean they aren't one:
Rule 2141/1 (Power=3)
Role and Attributes of Rules
A rule is a type of instrument with the capacity to govern
the game generally. A rule's content takes the form of
a text, and is unlimited in scope. In particular, a rule
may define in-game entities and regulate their behaviour,
make instantaneous changes to the state of in-game entities,
prescribe or proscribe certain player behaviour, modify the
rules or the application thereof, or do any of these things
in a conditional manner.
