A new daft game

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.

A good suggestion, Flower I'll start it off with this one. You can follow.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 10:16:41

But on second thoughts, perhaps a completely new game, with new (maybe hidden) rules, would be better. Everyone now knows what this one was about, and the fun was having people join in without a clue and send it skew-whiff.

Could you put your thinking cap on then ? confused

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 10:28:57

Doing that right now, Flower but not coming up with inspiration. I am about to get into the shower (and about time too) so will try to think while in there. Meanwhile, feel free to play here without me.

Each to their own I can't think of anything

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 10:35:02

Fair enough, Lona Every little helps.

Now I MUST go and get that shower. Play bonny, kiddies.

Going out now, but may catch up with this later!

Have DGS for the day so may not be able to keep up.

Snoozy Wed 26-Feb-14 10:58:00

I do too!

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 11:00:09

Just returned all clean but will have to leave soon and do Other Things.

Ceesnan Wed 26-Feb-14 11:03:38

Keep up the good work, off shopping!

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 11:17:04

Ladies (no gents in sight) I invited jings out to play, but she can't come, so we may get some nice long rallies in.

soop Wed 26-Feb-14 11:24:30

My goodness. Aren't I the lucky one. Just logged on. grin

soop Wed 26-Feb-14 11:25:29

Naughty jings!!! wink

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 11:26:25

Oh, there you are, Soop ! I've missed you today.

soop Wed 26-Feb-14 11:28:22

Perhaps I'll call back later, Elegran.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 11:31:54

Quite a good idea, soop More players are needed to get the pace up a bit, perhaps it will pick up later. Some who are irretrievably lost are useful too, to add a bit of danger, but so far today everyone is very calm and restrained and following the rule(s)

Ana Wed 26-Feb-14 11:34:31

Remarkably easy to work it out at this pace - not like the first game!

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 11:36:56

Slower is not necessarily better - having to think on your feet and work out a suitable next post before someone crashes it off up a different routs does keep the brain alive.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 11:38:17

Thinking of the next post when it has been derailed, without cursing the last poster is a bit stressful.

soop Wed 26-Feb-14 11:40:48

Unbelievable! wink

soop Wed 26-Feb-14 11:42:32

Very time consuming, too.

soop Wed 26-Feb-14 11:43:49

What rules, Elegran?

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 11:44:59

Well, I think I shall claim to have won this round (because I found out last round that it is just about impossible to post a response after this one)

I am now REALLY off to do Other Things.

Elegran Wed 26-Feb-14 11:45:47

X****X You so-and-so, *Soop!" You gazumped me!
