The Countdown Game

[Duke87 1,070]

OK, let's try this again. Our friend Geometry had but the rules weren't clearly defined and things got messy. People were having fun, though, so let's give it a fresh start with hopefully no confusion this time. Also, in order to be a bit more fair and allow for greater enjoyment, I'm going to make a couple adjustments to the concept.

 

So, here's how this works:

- each post, we count backwards, starting from 100. Please include something else other than the number with your post. Make random small talk, etc.

- a specific staff member will always be IT. If we can count down to 0 before IT posts in the thread, we win! At this point, the next person to post should name a new staff member to be IT and start counting down from 100 again.

- if, however, IT posts in the thread on or before the post numbered 0, IT wins. IT should then name a new staff member to be the next IT and start counting down from 100 again

- 2 post rule is in effect

- IT must always be a staff member (someone with a badge that says "Moderator", "Administrator", etc. under their name)

 

And now to get us started:

 

ROFLyoshi, you're IT!

Didn't even make one post, buddy.

I think you can do 100 posts without Craig? Go.

Still no Craig? Yeah, I should have picked up with this idea from my own thread.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

97. Not yet.

[MandelSoft 2,769]

96. Wow! We got further than last time

This is going really good

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

94. Stay away Craig!

We've got a good shot at this. Craig does not typically forum game, despite having had a brief flurry of activity here last month.

90,

 

Is is okay for me to PM Craig about this thread?

[MandelSoft 2,769]

89. Whohoo! The first digit has changed!

Betcha we make it to the 70s.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

87. Unless he is going to strike at 1 or something.

That would be very cruel. Even more: that would be evil.

Yay! We will reach zero!

[Sloonei 25]

hurray

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

83

 

I'll post before timmie!

[Sloonei 25]

its a race to see who can get to zero.

[MandelSoft 2,769]

81, or 9²

I like numbers...

PMing the staff member in question is allowed if you want. I mean, I can't stop you, so...

Nice idea to start a new version -- it was getting a bit messy!

Craig's not been online since yesterday, so we might have a chance...

[MandelSoft 2,769]

78! Look, we already passed 22% of our main goal!

[Cockatoo 2,256]

77. I think we've picked an easy target... isn't he away or something? Prove me wrong Craig!

What will happen if we reach zero?

We throw a party if we reach zero!
