I forgot to copy the rules so I can paste them into this post, so I will go ahead and post it and then edit the rules in. Silly me. [edit] The Last Person To Post Wins thread, general rules: 1. Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules. 2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.) 3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached. 4. When the target is reached, old winner posts declaration of new winner and also PMs them. 5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. 6. Go to 1. Supplemental rules: A. Multiple posting (the same poster posting two or more posts in succession) is frowned upon, and no element of a multiple posting may trigger the winning event. Thus the first following non multiple post will win. B. However the winning event is defined, it should probably take less than 1000 posts and less than two weeks to achieve. C. Posting of larger pics is discouraged (Modem users do still exist, sometimes people read the forum via their mobile data, and these threads can get quite long.) D. Don't post any clearly copyrighted pictures. E. The post rules listed to the left of your post box are all enforced. Personal rules for this particular thread: none. However, a real quick poll concerning the ending event: Should I make it a number (I have an idea for one, which will be slightly less than the number I just won with), or should I make it a hard date (in which case it will be the same date as the TLP thread at Beta, which is also mine right now)? I will take votes on this for 24 hours, which in either case won't come anywhere near being the win. Vote for count or date. Whichever gets the most votes by this time tomorrow will be it.
