A lot of comments here about how the intro instructed us to make a very literal interpretation.
I'm not so sure. The exact wording is "You might know of some rule in your jurisdiction which overrides local rules, and allows certain classes of vehicles. Please disregard these rules; the park isn't necessarily in your jurisdiction."
Rephrasing an earlier comment here, but - it's still a park right? On earth? What jurisdiction on earth blocks matchbox cars and space stations? Or even ambulances and police cars, which were the main ambiguous ones? Does some country not allow ambulances in its parks? Are we supposed to include all of modern human culture as a "local jurisdiction"?
The instructions of the game were pretty unclear, that seems to be what's sparking a lot of the debate.
No the instructions are clear. Figuring out where the park is just isn't part of the exercise. In fact, by the letter of the rules, it's impossible to find out. Pick any definition of "local jurisdiction" you want and you still don't know where the park is. It is not necessarily in that jurisdiction (or out of it either). It's not necessarily even on earth or in this universe either.
It's not about finding the particular jurisdiction. It's that any jurisdiction will have almost all of this stuff in common.
If we're not even taking about earth or this universe then discussion is probably hopeless...
> It's that any jurisdiction will have almost all of this stuff in common.
I'm not sure how you could say something like this so earnestly... All parks on Earth have the same rules on vehicles? You sure about that?
