Speech Restrictions

Speech Restrictions
This is a group of rules that is not necessarily a secret rule, but can be in some instances. Speech Restrictions can be put in by the dealer/cardmaster that can prevent people from using unnecessary language into play. The restrictions will be talked about in order of severity. Whenever a speech restriction is broken, a penalty card will be dealt. Speech Restrictions are not necessary in order to play Mao

No Cursing
No cursing is usually the least severe form of this rule and will exclude any curse words from being put into play. While words like "Heck", "Hell", and "Crap" are usually allowed, some words that are almost always banned are

Fuck, Motherfucker, Bitch, Ass and Asshole, Shit, Dammit, The N word, Chinx, Kike, Heeb, Gook, Paki, and Any Sexual Obsenities.

Secret Restrictions
This is a very expandable rule and will prevent people from using specific words, but will not tell them which words cannot be said

Total Speech Restriction
This is the most severe form of Speech Restriction in the game and all unnecessary speech is banned. No conversation or random words can be said. The only chatter that is allowed is if you need to speak to perform a rule, or if dealing a penalty card and explaining what they got it for, and saying "Thanks" and "You're Welcome" after giving and receiving cards. Sneezing, Farting, Burping, Coughing, and Straightening your Throat are allowed. Laughter may or may not be allowed in this version.
