Read the house rules!
No really, read the house rules!

I put them there to prevent situations like this... you didn't have to catch up with *me* just with the player with most guesses (that's 4). And you should have kept 6 hours between each pair of your own messages.
Oh yeah, and you guessed the rule wrong too (which wouldn't have happened if you just waited for me to rate your sentences), so I guess you're out of this round. Sorry DiMono

PS: There is always *just one rule*, so everybody should know by now that poetry isn't it.

Off-game: I guess it serves me right for being here at such a ridiculous hour. I originally thought the rule was something much more simple, hence my first guess. If the rule is what I think it is now though, I'll be sad.

I'm impressed that DiMono actually managed to get a message that actually matched the rule. Most of the difficulty I think is when none of the guesses match and you have only negatives to work from. (For a while I was wondering if the rule was something like "Maurog is the post's author.")

Off game: I'm assuming that the rules still say that I can't guess more than the host has given clues, so I'm just going to go for broke here.

And we have a winner! acrobat guessed the rule right, winning about 18 points which will be rewarded to him shortly. Well done!

Wow. Nice rule.

...that looks snide, but I'm really being genuine. That was a really good rule.

I'm going to stick with Maurog's house rules here for the most part. (space your guesses by 6 hours unless someone else has guessed, and you only need to be caught up to the guess leader, not the host, to make a guess at the rule. Guess the rule incorrectly and you're out.)
There is one exception I will make, though: In the case that you make a guess that would score all the posts so far correctly, but was not the rule, you can stay in the game.
