How long is "for a while"?

How about a couple of days?

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.

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. :-)

You are not.

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.) Now I just gotta get working on that bull charging about. :-)
