Tentative draft of abridged rules
I tried to condense/streamline the rules into sentences that wouldn't confuse machine translation, so it'll be consistent across versions. I left the "no illegal activities" section as-is because of how important it is.
@jessiray @Aidan Uzuki Let me know what you think, and then I'll start translating them. Thank you!
