Every new rule must be dedicated to exactly one Agoran God, called the
rule's Patron God. The Patron God must have been mentioned in a previous
contest message.
The validity requirements added by rules after this apply only to rules
dedicated to a different Patron God. (For example, if a rule dedicated
to the LORD said that new rules must rhyme, that requirement would only
apply to rules not dedicated to the LORD.)

I praise the LORD. I thank ARCAS, god of the very land we live on. I
honour THE AGORAN SPIRIT OF THE GAME.
Clever, but does this work? If each future rule does not incorporate
this provision, then a rule that violates a future rule (even if the
same Patron God) would still be "inconsistent" with the rule that it is
violating, which would make it invalid.
