We need to create a much larger rule, like, Rule 234:  Skywhales Exist.  Now everyone has to make up rules for all the prior spots.

Edit #1:
Twinkie D-Lite's 3 requested rules:
   59. You must be a level 3 pilot to fly a galleon.
   60. If you have a galleon with 4 manticores, don't contact Twinkie, Twinkie will contact you.
   61. Don't invite a person to your game and then ask them to change classes.
Further rules added:
   62. If you swear, you must put one achievement in the swear jar. the jar goes to the captain at the end of the match.
   63. The Bad Idea Subsection:
      63.1. Point Blank with a Typhon Heavy Flak Cannon is a bad idea. (Unless in compliance with rule #6)
      63.2. Point Blank with a Lumberjack Heavy Mortar is a bad idea. (Unless in compliance with rule #6)
      63.3. Long range with a Hellhound Heavy Twin Carronade is a bad idea.
      63.4. Double-anything on the front of a pyramidion is a bad idea.
         63.4.1. With the possible exception of the Hades Light Cannon.
         63.4.2. With the possible exception of the Whirlwind Light Gatling Gun if in compliance with rule #49.
         63.4.3. Possibly not a bad idea if you have a REALLY good teammate.
      63.5. It is a bad idea to cite rule 63 subsections whilst in the middle of combat.
      63.6. It is a bad idea to believe that rule 63 subsections are all you need to remember from "Da Rules of Guns of Icarus", they are all equally important.
      63.7.1.a. It is a bad idea to put David Hark in charge of Rule making.
   64. Dr. Trager is a drunk.
   65. Drugs are bad m'kay.
   66. Spamming chat only gets you banned.
   67. Advertising in chat is different from spamming chat.
   68. Nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition.
   69. PULL OUT!
   70. If someone suggests a crazy gamemode, it is your duty to help them realize this goal should they want to actually pursue it.
      70.1. If an existing lobby does not wish to comply with a request for some crazy gamemode, it is their job to explain to the requestee how to start a lobby.
      70.2. If the majority of the lobby wants to pursue this gamemode, you should either give it a try too or find a new lobby.
   71. It is important to listen to the rule-makers.
Revisions/addendum to existing rules:
   34.1. If it exists, there's a steam-punk version of it.
   49.1. Why yes Horatio, I will ram.
   234.1 Skywhale Hunting is a real sport.
