At last! I puzzled over this all morning.
[STATEMENT ABOUT GAME]:
To encourage others to continue to respond, the next correct response by someone other than me or Biotop will get 9 points. And the next will get 8 points, and so on.
I recognize that the fun of the game is really in figuring out the rule and seeing if others can do so as well, so I want the scoring to do anything possible to encourage this.
[CORRECT AGAIN]
I am beaming with happiness for your brilliance! If you’d like scoring privileges, meaning that you can judge others’ posts as “CORRECT” or “INCORRECT”, along with adding new scores, then you can have them! And if you have any questions, please PM me.
[CORRECT]
Biotop: 11 points
iiandyiiii: 10 points
My “brilliance?” Well thanks. It took me too long to get it, IMHO. I will be at work and elsewhere for most of the next few days so I think the next correct poster should be the alternate score keeper. Anyone else?
[CORRECT]
Let me explain better – I don’t intend to just have one alternate score keeper, and you certainly wouldn’t have to come into this thread any more than you otherwise would, but I think that keeping score can be fun, and I’d like to spread this privilege to anyone who has earned it and would like it. So you are officially granted this privilege, but it’s up to you how you want to use it (if you want to use it at all). I plan to grant it to any and everyone who figures out the rule.
[CORRECT]
Biotop: 12 points
iiandyiiii: 11 points
Under the rules as I certainly understand them, I had better keep posting or I will officially fall behind in the scoring. I like to win. But, as anyone otherwise can attest, it is hard to keep up posting while at work. Am I right about it… “it” being the above statements?
Biotop: 13 points
iiandyiiii: 11 points.
[CORRECT]
Nearly everything you say is right, but you should have many chances, if you fall behind, to catch up.
[CORRECT]
Biotop: 13 points
iiandyiiii: 12 points
Hello, I think I have it, yes?
[CORRECT]
You do! Congratulations! 9 points for you, along with scoring privileges, if you so choose!
[CORRECT]
Biotop: 13 points
iiandyiiii: 13 points
gkster: 9 points
Oh, I don’t know about scoring privileges, not being a numbers person; what would that entail?

This is a game.

[out of game]Forum time limits I wasn’t aware of, so won’t complete the whole pattern[/oog]
Hah, I think you can still play, if that’s your thing man.
Most of the time, I don’t play these kinds of games, but I figured I’d give this one a try. Also my favorite type of classical music is baroque.
I am having fun with this game.

[CORRECT]
As someone designated as a scorer, like myself and Biotop, you can respond with [CORRECT] and [INCORRECT] to other posts, as well as your own (like I do below), and list the scores as below. The next new person (as opposed to someone who has already answered correctly) to answer correctly will earn 8 points, and the next after that will earn 7 points, and so on.
[CORRECT]
Biotop: 13 points
iiandyiiii: 14 points
gkster: 10 points
[INCORRECT]
[INCORRECT]
[INCORRECT]
[INCORRECT]
[INCORRECT]
[NON-SCORING RESPONSE]:
Please, keep trying!
