Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread LXIX - Symmetrical Streak

The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:

The rules:

1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, 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 response nses 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. Furthermore, 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 24 hours.

5. new rule by Invisible Brainiac: the original post opening the thread is ineligible to win.

This was killed pretty quickly! I wonder if we will get more traffic over the holiday weekend...

I also cannot remember if we allow the starting post to win. perhaps that should be a new rule...

Given how rapidly these threads have been getting killed lately, maybe it's time to either take a break from them or change the rules to have more than 24 hour deadlines?

Either suggestion works for me. These kinds of threads work best when there's a high level of forum traffic.

I'll consider this thread killed and closed; and hold off on creating a new one.
