#2 I'm pretty sure that I know the rule. And because of this I'm going to post many posts in a row, such is the level of my confidence.

#3 Its going to take ages to catch up,
Maurogs made so many posts already.

Off-Game: I had a few more posts after this but quickly removed them because of that 3 in a row thing. I'm sure of the rule anyway.

Off-game: I believe the rules have changed, I don't see anything in them about 3 consequetive posts. I'm assuming the first post in this thread is authoritative on the rules, right? By the way, rule #6 is redundant to rule #4.

I propose changing rule #6.

Rule 6: There shall be absolutely no... rule number six.

#4 In that case, I'll start posting some more!
I have to make as many posts as
Maurog, right?

#6 On the other hand, I suppose that I don't need
to follow the rule with all my sentences!
But I will do that, just in case.

posting these..

#9 If I'm wrong, I probably gave away all my points! But no, there is no way. Can I guess the rule now?

The Invisible Rule: The number of words in each sentence is twice the number of letters in the last word in that sentence..

Off-Game: That can't be right, as if that was the rule some of Maurog's posts wouldn't follow it.

Off-Game: Yup, he guessed it all right
I'll leave it to Erik to handle the prize points and stuff like that. By the way, I suggest reconsidering some rules because of that "finish run" phenomenon. Maybe each successful guess would reduce the prize pool (i.e. the pool will be the total of negative points minus the sum of positive points with a certain minimum) and making three right posts makes you eligible to guess the rule? Something like that, anyways.

Off-game:
Yeah, I agree.. I felt a bit bad about guessing all those in a row, without having joined the game earlier. There, I've given you some back And i'm going to be very lenient in giving out points over the next few days. Now I have to think up a rule..

Off Game: I know! Let's make a rule that forbids you to make two posts in a row (excluding the host's starting ones). The rule would be - you can't make a post unless the last meaningful post wasn't yours OR if twelve hours passed. And leave the other stuff the way it is. This will protect us from runner-ups winning out of the blue, because even if he guessed the rule right, he will be delayed enough to let the caught-up people try to guess. After all they are in there longer than him, they deserve to have a chance. So the new guesser will have to make right sentences and at the same time try not to give out the rule. Makes sense so far?

#1 Seeing as I guessed the last rule, I can now start the next.
Hopefully I won't get up to eight or nine posts this time.

#1 I am going to lose all my points because I suck horribly. Also, all the reindeer look the same to me, except for that one with the flashlight up its nose.

#1 Mourog's rule was the all time hardest invisible rule to guess. On a completely unrelated note, am I the only one who hates daylight savings or does anyone here hate it too?

#1 I hate daylight savings too, you know they don't have it in Indiana? The reindeers names are Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy and Sneezy.

Off-game: That was on purpose wasn't it? Listing the seven dwarfs instead of the reindeer?

#2 What are "daylight savings"? By the way, when I was inventing my rule it really didn't seem too hard.

Off-game: TripleM: dwarfs, reindeer... I always get those two confused. Daylight savings time: In the US (I don't know about other places), on the first Sunday of April at 2am, everyone (almost) sets their clock an hour a head, then, on the last Sunday of October, we set them back. Why do we do this? Because we're idiots.

#2 This is my second attempt to follow the rule.
It's pretty much a shot in the dark.

#2 But you do have to be pretty observative, don't you? Also, a late congratulations to TripleM for guessing the last one.
