gollark: As I said, with "no cheating"/"no being a toxic idiot" (and other obvious ones) as the rules, and no claims, and *enough players*, and a decent modpack, it could be fun.
gollark: I see.
gollark: So what rules would you have apart from "no cheating" and whatnot?
gollark: A heavily modded anarchy server *could* be fun with enough players.
gollark: Well, that could be fun, with more mods than just CC.
