Rule 3 - Mystery Round
Initiator - Skid
3.1 The words "Mystery Round" are sacred. If you use them, you have to act upon them. Furthermore, they must ALWAYS be accompanied with the "Mysterious Hand signs". The penalty for not using the signs, is a mystery round for the caller, to be decided by the rest of the group but bought by the caller.
Examples:

Rule 5 - Random Finage
Initiator - 'Chings
5.1 Any member of the drinking party may suggest finage of another. The call will be made with an "All in favour?" question. If the proposer of the fine does not get a majority vote in his favour, he must do the fine himself. If he does get the majority, the fine stands.
Rule 6 - Finage
Initiator - Byers
6.1 Finage must be done "on the spot" wherever possible.
6.2 Fines do not carry across to the next session.

Rule 7 - Disputes
Initiator - Skid
7.1 All disputes must be settled by a majority decision wherever possible. In the event of a hung jury and absolutely as a LAST RESORT, the Gamesmaster shall have appointed his "UN Inpsector for the Office of Fair Drinking" (UNIOFD) who will resolve the situation swiftly, impartially and objectively.
Rule 8 - Spontaneous Shoeings
Initiators - Byers, Corn & 'Chings
8.1 All members of the drinking party (females excluded) are at all times at risk of a spontaneous shoeing, dealt out mercilessly, yet democratically by the other party members. Thus, all wishing to participate do so at their own risk.
