Wouldn’t it be funny if this game never ends? Like if Idle made it up in such a way that there is no winner because there is no logical solution and the only way to win would be to either guess every possible order or guess is at random? ---

> [@FlyingCowOfDoom](#): > > Yeah, that’s right. I’m the end! At least, I think I am. You’d think the people at who have the start and finish would KNOW it, don’t you? At least those two would cause you’d think there’d be certain keywords in their parts. Protip: If anyone ever says they’re the beginning or end, it’s probably a fairly good chance they’re telling the truth. Now, to me, this is sort of a “duh” thing, but I guess it isn’t all that obvious to think? ---

Example…say I was playing and I made my first guess and I guessed this: xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx IDLE THOUGHTS What would you all think of me based on that guess? I am I the only one this is obvious to? Same with IDLE THOUGHTS xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx Gee, you think I maybe have something in my part that says 'IN THE BEGINNING…" Hahaha. Yeah, I know I said lie, but I also said use what others guess to help you out and if others are putting themselves at the bottom or top, I’d use that. Unless you want to purposefully fake people out, but my answers are either going to be: right or wrong…so if someone keeps guessing with themselves knowingly in a wrong place, they won’t ever get any near the answer than anyone else because they won’t know if it’s THEIR placement giving the wrong answer or someone elses…you all see what I mean? ---

Well you quoted FCoD… who only guessed once it was following when you said to lie and also followed when you advised us to use other people’s guesses to base our lists off of… so either he is lying and you are hinting at it… or… well I dunno… Besides, FCoD said he thinks his is last… meaning that if he is telling the truth there is something in his message that brings the story to a close. But my piece definitely draws the story to a close… so he must be mistaken. Plus, it makes more sense to include that kind of a twist to make the player with a piece near the end think he is the last piece. ---

Hmm, so either Idle is a Gastard, or someone has been lying, or the story arch starts on a Wednesday… ---

Starts on a wednesday? What? Are you implying it might be like Memento? ---

> [@ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies](#): > > Hmm, so either Idle is a Gastard, or someone has been lying, or the story arch starts on a Wednesday… And no that isn’t a breadcrumb about Wednesday. It was an (awful) attempt at using a Sunday-to-Saturday weekly calendar as an applicable metaphor. ---

> [@paulwhoisaghost](#): > > Starts on a wednesday? What? Are you implying it might be like Memento? Something like that, yes. Red herrings. Things that seem obvious might not be. But then the timing of his (Idle’s) posts with respect to what my best “guess” is and the similar patterns in the posts that surround his posts…makes me wonder if he is just fucking with us all. :dubious: ---

Gah! my piece is so obvious where it should go… but now I don’t even know… at first I was throwing it in the middle as WiFoM so that nobody that didn’t share their piece with me would win before me… but now… nah… we have to be over thinking this… unless he is just messing with us. ---

Paul, post 93 is the most right guess so far. Post 95 is not very right at all. 😛 ---

You’re a mean mod Idle 😛 Butting in and what not… I’ll come clean… I lied… My piece has nothing to do with the end… I’ll send my real piece to you guys since you shared yours. ---

Sent my actual story piece to you guys… since Idle pointed out that one was pretty right and the other way off when the only difference was my placement. ---
