Figure out the rules and respond

[AND YET ANOTHER SAMPLE CORRECT RESPONSE]:

You must have some idea, folks? Anyone?

Are folks simply not getting it?

[INCORRECT]

Go ahead and try again, but I think I see what you were trying, and it was close.

[CORRECT]

iiandyiiii: 5 points
Telemark: 0 points

Have I won yet?

Testing a theory here.

[NOTE AGAIN: YOU MUST INCLUDE A QUOTE TO RESPOND TO!]

You have not, unfortunately.

[INCORRECT]

Excellent try, but no.

[CORRECT]

iiandyiiii: 7 points.

[NOTE/HINT]:

Any of my responses that either note [SAMPLE CORRECT] before, or are followed by [CORRECT], fit the rule and would score a point.

Testing, testing. We begin launching the missiles in 10 seconds.

[INCORRECT]

No, unfortunately. Please keep trying!

[CORRECT]

The only one scoring is the arbitrator of what constitutes a correct answer. Thus by the time anyone else figures it out the OP will have an insurmountable lead.

[NON SCORING RESPONSE]:

I hope to delegate scoring authority to those who figure out the rules. And I’ll happily consider bonuses, and in fact will add one right now: the first correct response gets 10 points.

To be clear, I hope to lose the game.

[NON SCORING HINT]:

Any random response to a quoted post will have about a 1 in 26 chance of being correct.

[SAMPLE CORRECT RESPONSE, WON’T COUNT FOR SCORE TO PREVENT AN INSURMOUNTABLE LEAD]:

Everyone has a chance to beat me. First correct response from someone else gets 10 points!

The only rule is that there are no rules.

[INCORRECT – SAMPLE CORRECT RESPONSE TO FOLLOW]:

LOL – actually, there is one rule, and everyone will kick themselves as to how simple it is when they figure it out.

Nobody has figured this out “first” right? The 10 points are still available to whomever responds to it correctly the first time…?

Only 1 in 26 or about 1 in 26?

[CORRECT!]

I’m so happy! If you want to be granted the vaunted scoring privileges for this game, please PM me with the rule of the game!

[ANSWER TO QUESTION]:

I say “about” because not all possibilities are equally likely in common usage.
