To say that I’m curious as to whether or not the others have figured out what we’re doing would be a vast understatement. It’s not really too difficult is it? Even for those whose geographical origins might initially place them at a disadvantage, it seems that the intent here should have been easily discernible? Why am I suddenly talking like a Cryptic Crossword clue? ---

Which is sillier to you…that people haven’t figured it out, or that this is the fiftieth post in a totally pointless thread? Anybody should be able to unravel the mystery, except Brits, who may find themselves separated from the rest of us over the topic. ---

The fact that so many still haven’t figured it out yet. Post #4 should be a dead giveaway. ---

Well, I’m not a Brit but apparently I’m dumb as a post because I have no idea what the pattern is. Someone… please…help? (and don’t just call me an idiot, please) ---

(and don’t just call me an idiot, please) Laws of the game say I can’t tell you, but don’t worry about not knowing; if you doubt the value of the thread, I for one won’t call you a doubting Thomas. ---

Of all the game threads to which I’ve posted, this one is certainly fun !!! 😃 ---

Nature is a tricky thing - particulary human nature. It’s human nature to be baffled by this thread, but I think the very heart of this altogether pointless (yet not destinationless) thread is important. ---
