NEW RULES FROM NEGOTIATIONS ANNOUNCEMENT
Myself ( u/River_KingK ) and u/FleetChief were asked to participate in negotiations with leaders of the pun subreddits.
After negotiations were made with u/LazyNovelSilkWorm, u/jlzoy93, u/1MasterOogway1, and u/uniqueUsername_1024, new rules have been established to make the "roleplay" more fun and enjoyable.
- No God Mode
There have been many accounts of both officers and punners bending reality and acting as if they are omnipotent to escape from a tight spot. Such is now disallowed and anyone found to be doing so will be dealt with harshly.
Any officer found utilizing god mode will be detained by r/PunSpetsnaz or r/Puninternalaffairs and sent to gulag.
- No Arrests After 1 Hour Has Passed
There have been several accounts of a three hour-old pun or even day old puns being subject to arrest. Once a punner has made a pun, officers and agents have 1 hour to find the post/comment and arrest them. Any officer or agent found arresting a punner from a post later than this time will be detained by r/PunSpetsnaz or r/Puninternalaffairs and be sent to gulag.
- No Downvoting
Very simple. please do not downvote punner posts.
- No Death (Executions or Otherwise)
When a punner is attacked or an officer is attacked, they become "wounded." If the wound is severe, they cannot leave the thread alone and must seek assistance from their comrades. In any case, wounded officers cannot attack and wounded punners cannot pun. Once you have left the thread, however, you are immediately restored back to full health, however, you may not reenter the post/comment thread. Any officer found in violation of this rule will be detained by r/PunSpetsnaz or r/Puninternalaffairs and sent to gulag.
- 24h Negotiation Time
Once a person has been "captured" their comrades have 24 hours to negotiate for his/her release. "Captured" people cannot post or comment, but they may use a chat to communicate to their comrades that they are captured. After this time limit has been exceeded, they are placed into jail/gulag and must break out. Punners and officers in jail/gulag can only comment/post in their respective subs (ie: If you are in r/PunJail, you can only comment there, if you are in r/PunKGB gulag, you can only comment in r/PunKGB). Any officer found in violation of this rule will be detained by r/PunSpetsnaz or r/Puninternalaffairs and sent to gulag.
We hope that you comply to these rules.
EDIT: The arrest limit was extended to an hour.
EDIT: The rules have not been accepted by all branches of anti-pun forces. However, punners have accepted this. Therefore, report any events of punners god-modding but leave if officers are god-modding.

I'll be honest, Commander. Rule 3 will be difficult for me, as my distaste for puns is immense, but it's a rule so I'll obey it.

Just a question, for rule 2, if the thread is continued, does the timer reset?

u/FleetChief Mar 22 '19
If new puns are made within the time frame on a thread then you may act, basically treat that rule on a comment by comment basis rather than how old the original thread is.

I dont think the officer should be detained, just warned. And the arrest will be considered non-applicable.

*ties up u/SkyeTFS*
Relax. Your superiors can bargain for your release, given that they negotiate with 24 hours.
The time is currently 12:18pm EST.
From now on you cannot make comments/posts with puns. Only non-pun-related posts/comments can be made and you can talk in your chats to call for help.
If they don't come for you within 24 hours, then you go to gulag.

So, 45 minutes after the pun has been posted, we have no authorization to detain the punner? Shit.
I mean YES SIR.
