There must be a plot of at least two (2) events. I don't think the plot points matter as much as the idea and delivery. From what I can tell, the main ingredients for a good micropasta are (1) a clever plot that only needs a few words to tell, and (2) the ability to tell a story effectively in very few words.

I can see where you're coming from with this; lack of plot is a common issue in micropasta. If just omitted the "of at least two (2) events" bit, I wouldn't have as much of a problem with this being one of the only micropasta guidelines.

The story can only be considered a micropasta if it is under 300 words. I fail to see what this has to do with determining the quality of a story.
