That has long been my policy, with special avoidance measures towards hosts too fond of complex silly rulesets, easiest to exploit, hardest to enforce, and most conducive to aborted games. Yuck

This thread has reinforced said policy. I sincerely hope players who engage in such ruleset minefields have the best of luck, because they'll need it. Rolling Eyes

Considering that the games you are maligning are thematic games such as Glacier, you really have no argument that is valid. Part of the game is in the restrictions, also known as rules. The rules make the game fun, as it changes the whole concept of the game. That same idea was what the Jeffs were going to bring to the next version of stars, imbedding it into the code (RDL) so that the hosts would not need to enforce the rules, it would just be part of that game.

I don't remember any of my games that were aborted due to too many rules. Actually, it is the opposite. One of my first failures as host was not fully defining split fleet dodge rules (which was before it was accepted as base rule for games).
