Well, I was just going by the 'Play' option link(s) (in a top horizontal Menu on this CVP site) to 'official' preset(s) that editor(s) eventually add to an 'official' rules page for the same CV. I thought I might be jumping the gun by beating them to it - actually I've never seen a guideline on this CVP site telling people not to do such a thing.

The 'official' presets for my batch of 9 2018 CVs can be found when going through the Alphabetical Index, though it's admittedly labour-intensive. Alternatively they can be found if someone visits my Personal Information page and clicks on the Invented Games for me, just if they happen to wonder what I've been up to, or they recall I invented a given game in 2018. Again, admittedly not user-friendly entirely.

Those 9 2018 presets of mine are all non-rules-enforcing, which I know you prefer not to play with. However, I'm not useful at Game Courier rules enforcing programming, nor am I at Play-Test Applet use for a similar purpose. Fortunately other people have programmed some of my CVs without my asking over the years. Always promising or popular ones, though.

[edit: I think it's not a bad idea to have a non-rules-enforcing preset readily available for use all the same, in case a rules enforcing one for the same CV suddenly no longer works due to bug(s) that may take a while to be fixed, if ever. For example, the rules enforcing preset for Rococo hasn't quite worked for every rule of that game for a long time, and Ultima's rules enforcing preset (the only preset for it at all!?) was completely broke for ages.]
