Even more incredible.
You're from the UK, the land of titles and peerage and adding letters upon letters after your name, surely you know of such a phenomenon?

You know, like padding your post count by posting warnings not to pad your post count.

Who made up this silly game, anyway?

I propose that we rename this thread WWBTTTBMTP.

That's Who Will Be The Next TalkBoard Member To Post

I also think this thread should count for WWBTTFTMTP credit, but only for TB members. That way we can have a leg up on a chance to win.

Heh heh.

Like I said before, I think that WWBTNFTTP (or whoatever it is) is more of a Lounge Thread than anything else.

Hey! I could try to post more and not too much at all. Sometime I can post in OMNI only and not PR. Because I never usually to post in OMNI/PR very often. I dislike the politics & religious.

Well the moderator removed the word "game" from the title of the thread.

So...it's not a game any more.

And yet it is a form of play with specific rules.

So it's a game.

Yet it counts.

See, this is exactly why we should have created the games forum but made posts there count. To avoid the desire for some games to suddenly not be games any longer.

Oh well.

We agree, yet again. This whole agreeing with many people here is really starting to mess with my head!

I asked about that thread, and was told it was Omni's version of a 'lounge thread', and that conversations within it had spawned 3 FT Dos. As well, there's interaction there between the various folk, vs. simply counting games where someone's posting a #. So I think (although can't speak for them) the mods consider it more a lounge thread than a game thread. And since lounge threads posts count in regular FT forums, probably makes sense for them to count in the Omni lounge thread.

Cheers.

Here's the description that the CD added to the Games Forum when she created it this week:

OMNI/Games
Meant for games with minimal content that allow rapid fire posting, such as counting threads and giveaways
And she commented elsewhere that moving games to that forum should be the exception rather than the rule.

So only games with little or no visible human interaction will populate the new Forum.
