I give up. I can't figure it out. How does this thread work? If you look back to TLPTPW #2 the rules are that the thread opener picks a number and keeps it secret. When that number is exceeded the person at the end of the thread when the thread opener looks - wins. Then the original thread opener declares the winner and opens a new thread. The original thread was deleted by the admins as too big. If I recall correctly it was around 50K posts before it was deleted. That one had no winner, nor was it intended to. BOINC WIKI ID: 818300 ·

I can't figure it out. How does this thread work? Our esteemed OP (Original Poster) Stealth Eagle is in charge. He's probably got a number in mind (usually somewhere near around 1000 posts) where he'll arbitrarily make a choice as to who wins. It's a totally silly game that just encourages about the most trivial senseless posts you can come up with to keep "one-upsmaning" your fellow posters. For now, we're just biding our time and helping to get the count up to a level approaching the cut-off. (Which only Stealth Eagle knows.) Then it'll get real active. :-) Unlike the original creator of this thread game here, Stealth has actually given warnings when it's getting close, so it'll really get frenzied then. :-) ID: 818302 ·

You seem to misconstrue. Pawly's post indicated "Pawly wins. You lose. Get over it." I simply indicated I was over it. I have no problem with that. So I'm over that. (Again.)
