icon Guess the lowest number (+1)  
The idea of this game is to guess a positive integer (greater than or equal to 1 - 0 is right out). The winner, each day, is the person who guesses the lowest number that nobody else guessed. For example, if 3 people guess 1, 2 people guess 2, 3 people guess 4, and 1 person guesses 5, then the person who guessed 5 wins.

To enter your guess for the day, use an unhidetime tag. For example, to guess 6 on March 27, type this:

[unhidetime=12:00am March 27, 2005]6[/unhidetime]

I'll run through the posts each day and award rank points to the winner.

Edited posts will be ineligible.

I've seen this game before - its extremely interesting (especially when you have a huge number of players). If you want to see some statistics about how it turns out with a large number, have a look at itsyourturn.com - I think its called Singularity.

Before we have no way of knowing who posted legit posts and who did not, I'll point out that it was Krish and MeckMeck who didn't post properly.

*deleted my guess, I can't get the tag to work either*



Also, when I hit "add reply" for this topic, it automatically changes the subject title to "Re: Claythro Tower L2, once south". What gives?

There is a DST time bug still in the forum, try unhide it one minute earlier ;)

Perhaps because I was removing my wrongly placed post... Sorry. ;)

Actually, TripleM wins with 2 (since Krish's entry was disqualified for not being properly entered).

And Maurog wins with 1!

Hmmm, participation on this round was down a bit from last time... do we have a critical mass to continue the game?
