What I'm really interested in isn't assholes breaking rules, but how vulnerable - how absolutely vulnerable - rules are to players.
For whatever it's worth, it's people that (can make themselves) absolutely vulnerable to other people - it's not rules that are vulnerable to other people. The smelly chamberlain shows a person (called the GM) making himself vulnerable to other people/players by trusting they will follow a certain procedure.
Rules don't exist to be vulnerable.
The only thing that is vulnerable is the person who follows a rule.
