Maybe your rule is slightly different from his. Very.
Edit: Oh. I didn't realize it was a guess.

Off-game: Like Jerramy said, the only rule I can think of is right for all but a couple of guesses. The guess below is experimental to see if the rule is right or not.

#9: Jerramy will never catch up because I will just keep on guessing.

#7: I predict that Stew Boy's last guess will fail, seeing as how it's a rather odd statement.

Off Game: I haven't been scoring folks that don't put a guess number in front of their post, but it's helpful if you put Off Game to make it clear that your post isn't a guess.

#7:
balloons and bassoons and friendly buffoons
throw out the cookbook but save the fishhook
listen for footfalls and watch out for oddballs

You may be thinking along the same lines as me, Jerramy.

×The number of pairs of same vowel (like in look, free, babboon etc') must be equal to the number of pairs of same consonant (like in will, matter, babboon etc')

That's it. Looks like this is worth +20 for you, once I get some more mod points.

Since I was in a generous mood and had some rank points to spare, I modded Maurog's post up to +20 and modded the -1s back to 0 for you. I left the +1s as they were, because I wasn't sure of the policy for them. Someone else can work with those if'n they have to.

Edit: Holy carp! Those posts sure did suck up a good chunk of my mod points. I'm down about a third of my points. Meh, I'm sure I either get some back or ask an admin very nicely.

Off-game: I invented a rule, but it was noticeably harder that my previous ones, so it won't be used Something easy will be used instead. I'm using umm, my house rules. The starting posts will follow shortly.

Off-game: Well, it seems as though poetry is not the rule, because my guess was right.

#3: Many pictures appear before my eyes: the dwindling sun and the garnet sky, the dancing moon and the glittering stars.

Off-Game: Okay; I only read a few pages of the thread, with one example of double-posting, so I didn't notice there was a time limit between any two posts.

Incidentally, do wrong guesses count in the total? So, should this post be #3 (third guess), or #2 (I only got one guess correct before that)?

#1: As far as I can tell, you have to rhyme or something. Not that I /have/ anywhere in this guess, I think, but then I'd have to be witty and use 'time' or possibly 'thyme' and then you'd probably have the right to beat me with a stick or some such.
