All right.
About the rules:
Rule X is what has constantly happened in Higurashi, with one character going "
mad" and killing someone. Most of the madness was feeded by Rule Z (Sonozaki family is behind the curses), as can be seen in Onikakushi-hen (Keiichi suspicious of the village people), Watanagashi-hen (Shion thinking her grandmother killed the Houjou family), etc.
As you can see, in the anime-version of Minagoroshi-hen, almost all of the bad things that happened in the other chapters (Keiichi killing mion and Rena, Shion going crazy, Rena killing Rina) has been avoided. Rika is currently focused on preventing Rule X from happening, not all that concerned with Rule Y yet. Given how most of the events that triggered Rule X has been avoided, RIka is desperate to keep X from happening, clouding her to Rule Y.
Dang, that blog above pretty much explains everything.
