Not the kind with cardstock and pawns. Mostly play by post Mafia so far.

As discussed
here , let's try doing collaborative Zendo.
Rules
A rule about strings of characters is picked by the Master;
The rule is encrypted and posted at the start of the game, as well as an acceptable format for strings;
People may post strings of characters as often as they like, and the Master will mark them as obeying the rule or not;
People should have no more than 10 unanswered Koans at a time, to avoid cluttering everything and annoying everyone;
At any point, anyone who doesn't have an as of then unanswered guess may post one;
When someone guesses incorrectly, the Master must prove the guess is incorrect; when the guess is correct, the game ends.
The acceptable format for Koans is strings of (English) letters of any length.
The encrypted rule is: Vzhlla liwicfqag ty ahm dmympu uhse nfctp tlmqi.
'bbc' obeys the rule.
'bee' does not.

Current ongoing game starts

Yes to all.
And yeah, feel free to discuss stuff here or explain reasonings and stuff if you like I think? Unless other people object?

Empty string is a yes, whole alphabet is yes, string of numbers isn't an acceptable Koan for this rule (only strings of letters), and the alphabet being a yes is a counterexample to the rule "must not contain a vowel."

My guess is "any string of letters except for ['bee','aac','baa','ebb']."

Huh, didn't catch the acceptable format being a thing that existed.
