Anyway, I really think you missunderstood the rules, Euro. I don't think they kill creativity in any way. Please give them a closer read and you'll see how well thought they are.
Killing spontaneous improvisation (like we were used to in the old days) may seem like a bad thing to you now, but it's actually for the best. It's like Brian Eno said once: if you improvise without rules while making music, the song will degenerate into blues. There's nothing wrong with blues, but it's not what we're trying to do here. I think that if we really try we can accomplish producing an issue that can actually be read by someone outside this forum and be enjoyed and understood. Something with a real structure and real quality. That's what I'd like to aim for, at least.
