Has nobody ever mentioned that these rules are the most exploitable thing on the planet? Last year, almost every bingo card had at least one slot which was meaningless, lacked objectivity, or incredibly vague. According to these "rules", the following Bingo card is acceptable. If these rules are not mended for this particular event, consider it my entry.
Now, this card is awful, but each slot is ABSOLUTELY valid under these rules.
There is no rule against using the same slot more than once, as I did with my "An indie game is shown off which has not already been confirmed." slot (so provided that at least one indie game which has not already been confirmed to be showcased is, in fact, shown, then my entire bottom row is successful and I am guaranteed a badge).
There is no rule against one more abstract slot encompassing another slot, as that same slot I just mentioned would encompass "Cuphead is shown".
There are no rules against predicting a new title will not be shown for a dead console, such as "No new game is released for the Nintendo Gamecube".
There is no rule against inferring less abstract predictions from a confirmed subject, as "Nintendo does not showcase a new home console" and "Nintendo does not showcase a new handheld console" are both very likely to be accurate predictions considering Nintendo has revealed that the NX will not be showcased, and it is unlikely that they will reveal a new, unknown, console of either variety this E3.
There is no rule against predicting a direct sequel to a currently in-development or recently released game will not be showcased, such as "A sequel to Star Fox 0 is not shown off" and "Cuphead 2 is not showcased".
There are no rules to prevent one guessing that a game console which is already long past launch will not get a new launch title, such as, "The PS2 will not get a new launch title".
There is no rule against predicting an unlikely sequel to an obscure game will not be revealed, such as "There is not a new Wappy Dog game" or "There is no direct sequel to Space Cadet Pinball".
There is also no rule to prevent meaningless and entirely subjective slots being written (and this actually
does occur in almost everybody's card), such as "At least one game I dont like is shown", "There is at least one game with good graphics", "Somebody tries to do something funny", or:
There are many many more flaws in this system than I just pointed out, but some of them have already been exploited by others in the past. In 2015, I expected that there was some unwritten rule amongst MFGG to not abuse the flaws in this system, but I was surprised at how horrendously exploited it was in 2015, and looking at the two cards above my post, 2016 is likely going to repeat this if major reform is not made now and forever.
