Richard just posted a pic corroborating the background I added to my caption.
Thanks for the memories, Richard.
LOL again.

Speaking of which... Gordon, if you read this, the thread is over 800 posts, maybe it's time for part 2? :)

Good! Love the game :)

In reference to the story game: I am excited that it took off when another user tried it. I think I tried to get one going about two or three years ago but my criteria was one word, or something that made the game unbearable.

Sometimes I also have to consider whether I'll be available to run the thread while it's mine. For example, if I'm right on my current guess, I'll have to either find something easy or let someone else do it because I expect to be busy tomorrow and even busier Friday and Saturday. It wouldn't be fair to everyone else for me to post something and then not be here to say whether the guesses are correct.

My experience is similar David, and has held me back sometimes from taking a guess. I think people just have to be patient, and realize some of us have a life away from the computer. I don't think the world would end if the winner takes a day or three to post a new picture, or to reply to guesses.

I had found a previous tool, but refrained from guessing because I was about to disappear for a week into a place with no internet connections at all.

Same situation in the week of 4 august here, hope I don't have too much of them withdrawal symptoms then :D

I will certainly participate more now. I like the guessing part, but not the hunt for a new pic.
I am sure, that there are a few obscure tools around and this gives people a change of posting them without winning.

Just my two cents worth.

As I already said, it is the holiday period, so I expect people will be more interested in the autumn.

But it does get harder to find new pics as time goes on, I do accept that.

Which is exactly why I don't normally play

Yep, hard to find something that can't be guessed...

Although I have posted in the past that I win quite a few of these, so wanted to give others a chance to play to win as well.

Ir's a bit unfair to play the game, then not take your turn, But it does get harder to find new pics as time goes on, I do accept that.

I am not particularly enamoured of this proposed new rule in the tool guessing game. If the winner doesn't automatically have to host the next stage, then we could get to a position where nobody bothers at all. All these type of threads, like the caption one means that if you want to participate, then if you win you carry on, that is the whole premise of it.

Likewise though, if people don't want to host the new tool, they might refrain from playing at all. I think there would be more participation without the winning pressure.

That was the problem. Nobody was playing anymore because nobody wanted to host the new one.

The question is why? It's just a game and most people who post there know how to upload a pic? Just my opinion...
