Expression (no one's)

I am not playing with no one's rules.

Я не играю с никого правмилами?

ничьими

но я не понимаю этого предложения.

Я не играю ни по чьим правилам.

It would be "I am not playing with anyone's rules." instead. I'm not sure if that changes the Russian translation. My guess is that it does not.

Hmm, wouldn't it be "I am not playing by anyone's rules"? Is there a difference between by and with there, kind of sounds to me that there is :)

Честно говоря, должно быть "я не играю по чужим правилам" = "я играю по своим правилам"

There definitely is. I'm just not sure if he meant it literally or not. It's possible to play with someone's rules, e.g. you were physically rearranging them or not following them in a joking manner. It's rather ambiguous at this stage.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The initial translation might be incorrect then. Antonio, could you please elaborate a bit. Did you mean that:

You don't abide by anyone's rules

or

You don't mess with anyone's rules.
