I used to GM some pen and paper RPGs with a team of adorable and mischevious players. It taught me to be paranoid about every little flaw or loophole in rules. "Can my 'create water' spell work to flood this bad guy's heart?"

I think to prevent tax evasion, tax law should be written by people with 5+ years of GMing experience...

They do, except they're employed by the people who want to put the loopholes in.

The trick to avoiding loopholes is not to find and plug them one by one, but to ruthlessly simplify.
Then you'll need to finish 100 quests and slain a dragon to report your taxes each year? :)
He said pen and paper RPGs, not computer ones. :-)
Who said you can’t do that with pen and paper?
