A new daft game

You're joking

Zero tolerance next round! I think we need to be told the Rule(s) again...

Actually, I think the OP didn't want to spell out the Rule....

V got missed out.

So did others along the way - I thought we had to go back to the beginning if someone messed it up made a mistake.

Checking back though, Elegran didn't say that was a rule, so I don't suppose it matters, which seems daft to me!

Nobody knows the rules.

I don't know the rules. That's for sure.

Oh dear...

We're doomed!

At precisely 1 am, I shall start again

Before I doIi shall have 2 jam doughnuts

It takes you two and a half hours to eat 2 doughnuts?

1 am?!!!! You're on yer own there newist!

Don't you go to bed at all?

No, 2 hours and 29 minutes drooling time, 1 minute to eat them

Beautiful round. Are we off again?

If someone messes it up makes a mistake, you start from that mistake not from whatever was before the cockup mistake.

That is why I said (obliquely because I was trying at first not to let on what the number one rule is - but its too late now to be subtle) that each post has an influence, even if it is an unintentional one That keeps it changing and stops people planning several moves ahead. You have to be quick and flexible.

But no-one seems to be following that rule so I don't care, so there..

I made a sad attempt to start a game

Just like this lot to think your sad brave attempt was just a common or garden comment.

Its too late now anyway, George Gently is on the telly

Knitting it all together is getting harder, particularly for us common (or garden) types.

What do you mean 'we start from that mistake'? Start afresh, or just carry on from the 'mistake'?

Do we go to A&E now?

Oh, it's OK I think I've got it now! Doesn't help that I've got bookmarks all over this thread and can't get rid of them...

Carry on folks, must go - nits to pick etc.

(Ana You carry on from the mistake, not from the legit move that was before the mistake. Another useful dodge - not rule - is to put brackets round a comment to show that it is not a game move. Then it is an aside and "invisible" and people can get away with not continuing from it.

Nits to pick? When you can pick the nits out of how to play a completely useless game? Are there any more important nits on the forum?)

Playing on from Ana's post.
