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.

Although it says "adapted from the original rules by EDE" I don't think EDE has won a kill this thread, thread. That's something that should be rectified one of these centuries.
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

I don't mind, since the original point of the thread was not for anyone to actually win it, but just to create an open-ended discussion thread that would continue on indefinitely!

That explains why I love this game so much! Gods know I do tend to go on and on and on...
That reminds me of the old commercial for Faberge Organics Shampoo with pure wheat germ oil and honey. I told two friends and they told two friends, and they told two friends, and so on, and so on.
I like seeing the funny foreign commercials. There is one for English classes that has. Family (mom, dad, & two young daughters) bopping their heads to the beat of a song that has obscene English lyrics.
