1) THE BASIC IDEA: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 7 days, you win!
2) Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and responses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.
3) In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthemrore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.
4) So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for seven days.
Maybe I can win this time.

Just curious: What exactly do you "win" if you win?

The honor and prestige of winning. Plus the groupies.

'Way back, three years ago, when the first "Kill This Thread" got started, Eryk Davis Ester, the originator of the thread, stated the following:
quote:There's lots of fabulous prizes available!
a) 100 Reward Points on the DCMBs!
b) My respect and admiration
c) Artwork featuring your favorite Legionnaire, hand-drawn by me!
I had forgotten that it went back that far. It was started on August 10, 2005, just four days after I joined Legion World!
