Re: Last Person to Post Wins

Why not put a time limit on the thread. Just to make it more interesting. So the last person to post before the time limit (that does not break the rules) wins Obviously that would exclude the Admin post to close the thread !

The prize could be an announcement from Admin, something along the lines of "Congratulations, after an intense contest of skill, judgement and strategy you have won the much sought after prize of...absolutely nothing "

Re: Last Person to Post Wins

If I posted here, and then never came back again, it would - to the best of my knowledge - be the last post. Therefore, in my own little universe, I'd be the winner.

And isn't that what really matters?

If not, how does one post... as to elicit the close of a thread yet not be deleted?

How does this work?

Is there any control as a lowly poster... or are we at your mercy... Dan
And I thought Dan had won already at post #3.

Yeah, I think so too. With the removal of Touchdown J, all my hopes of winning went up in smoke

Re: Last Person to Post Wins

Surely the solution is simple:

Dear Admins,

If you delete all posts after this one and close the thread there might be beer in it for you.

O I missed that one but I got it as an email. Yeah I didn't score any points with my Buddy C either. But I did catch the "toiletry move along poster" tossed up for comic relief.


Late late edit: Still humming to the now disappeared Sex Pistols.

Re: Last Person to Post Wins

pfff....


I never win these kind of things. In fact, if it wasn't for destroying the hopes of the poster above, I would simply avoid the game!
