As there seem to be a lot of serious threads at the moment, I am launching a new game. There is only one rule, very simple, but I am not going to tell you what it is. You will have to work it out for yourselves by reading all the posts very carefully.

When you think you have it, join in. All posts, from those who get it or from those who haven't a clue, influence the course of the game.

We have now increased our numbers. Welcome newcomer. about time someone else did a bit hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 26-Feb-14 19:47:18

Extremely large ladies need extremely large cakes.

(who said x was difficult?)

Ana Wed 26-Feb-14 19:47:48

You did!

Lona Wed 26-Feb-14 19:49:52

Zut Alors!!

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 26-Feb-14 19:50:23

(did what?! What have I done now?! shock)

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 26-Feb-14 20:00:47

shock that lona went and knocked it on the head while I was watching telly.

Prize: cupcake

Lona Wed 26-Feb-14 20:39:52

Where's me Walnut Whips then jings?

Icyalittle Wed 26-Feb-14 20:40:49

Both comments from jingl have me confused now.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 20:44:12

( I have to complain that several players have been making invalid moves. The most recent include Jings at 19:47:18 and 20:00:47 and Ana at 19:47:48 (who was led astray by jings red herring)

However, Lona at 19:49:52 played a heroic attempt to get the game back on course.)

It has got chaotic again now.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 20:45:46

Just seen that my closing bracket should have been at the end of the post, if comments in brackets are beong taken as "comments2 and not as game posts.
Lona Have you lost it again?

Dragonfly1 Wed 26-Feb-14 20:49:24

Keep up!

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 20:54:09

Lost seeing a lot of posts as I took time off to eat and to do something Else for a while.

Ana Wed 26-Feb-14 20:54:55

That's unfair, Elegran! I was taking jingl's 'extremely' in the spirit in which it was intended and carried on from there. She did want to go and watch Waterloo Road, after all...hmm

Ana Wed 26-Feb-14 20:56:13

Oh b***er! Sorry, folks! grin

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 20:57:30

Must say I am surprised to see the thread still going. I thought it had faded away at one point.

Must re-iterate that every post influences game play even if it is an involuntary move.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 20:59:59

Not kind to you Ana I agree, you did follow suit as you saw it.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 21:02:12

Opening a non-game post with brackets (and closing it with brackets) was a tactic that jings was using to show that it was an aside. Useful ploy.

Ana Wed 26-Feb-14 21:02:39

Oh, thank you Elegran.

Ana Wed 26-Feb-14 21:03:12

Pity I didn't use it just then!

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 26-Feb-14 21:03:42

Actually Lona , I won. The cupcake was second prize. Be grateful.

The walnut whips were lovely are quite safe.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 21:05:56

By the way, I have been wondering whether the winner should be the one who sends the post that has to be followed by an Xtremely difficult move.

Ana Wed 26-Feb-14 21:08:20

Can't see why...? It doesn't involve anything very clever really.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 21:10:55

Does any of this involve anything clever?

Ana Wed 26-Feb-14 21:13:54

Entirely random, I agree.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 21:18:27

Fiddling while Rome burns.
