Figure out the rules and respond

Thread Games
1

Hello. Figure out the rules (but don’t give it away!) and respond. It will take a few posts. If you figure it out and respond correctly, you will get a point; if you respond without figuring it out, you get no points (but no penalty). If you deliberately give away the rules, you forfeit this game for eternity. I will be the arbiter of scoring, though I may grant this privilege to others who figure it out later.

I am having fun with this game.

[CORRECT]

iiandyiiii: 1 point.

3

Perhaps another clue would be in order.

4

I do not understand this game.

5

Do you really need another one?

[correct]

iiandyiiii: 2 points.

6

As you and others continue to respond, I’m hopeful it will become clear.

[CORRECT]

iiandyiiii: 3 points.
Smapti: 0 points.
Prof. Pepperwinkle: 0 points.

7

Oh… I get it.

[ADDITIONAL SAMPLE/HINT RESPONSE]:

On second thought, you probably will need some more hints, like this post. And that’s okay. But there’s only one main rule, and it’s very, very simple (if perhaps not so simple to identify), with some smaller rules that would only come into play in very unusual circumstances.

You only have to win by one point.

I’m hopeful I have it this time.

[INCORRECT, BUT YOUR FORMAT WAS CORRECT… GREAT JOB!]

Prof. Pepperwinkle: 0 points.

[SAMPLE RESPONSE TO QUOTE ABOVE]:

It’s not quite there, but I hope you keep trying!

14

How many points do I need to win?

15

[ADDITIONAL HINT]:

RobDog’s post #7 may have been correct, depending on which post he was responding to, but he didn’t include a quote.

16

[INCORRECT]

Want to win? You just need more points than me. :slight_smile:

[CORRECT]

iiandyiiii: 4 points.

17

Do all of your posts in this thread fit the rule or only the ones with a bracketed CORRECT?

18

[QUESTION RESPONSE]:

Only the ones followed by bracketed [CORRECT] and then points updates.

EDIT: Also, post #8, which was a sample CORRECT response.

19

[ANOTHER SAMPLE CORRECT RESPONSE]:

Every post and response will, hopefully, help lead to better understanding of the rules. Remember, there’s just one main rule, and it’s very simple – if you figure it out, then this game becomes incredibly easy.

[YET ANOTHER SAMPLE CORRECT RESPONSE]:

Anyone figure this out yet?
