In this game, the objective is to score points. The only thing you have to do to get points is post, but your post must be at least one day after the previous poster. You get more points for every day that is between your new post and the last post, and each day adds one more point than the previous day. For example:

You do not need to worry about necroposting because it is okay to add meaningful posts to dead threads; since almost any post in this thread would be considered meaningful, it's always okay to post so long as you're playing the game right.

I will update the standings now and again. (If you would like your old score restored, reference me your last post in the old thread and I will put it here.)

Zarincha, I'm only using the ones from before when this one was created. So that means you're actually at 111. (I checked your post.)

Ill stick to the old thread then. If everyone will be posting on this one, its easy game for the other.

If both threads are going to be played, though, that'll be confusing for no reason. :/
I guess I'll stick to the new thread since Tortilla will keep the totals updated. I also like that he spelled "phoenix" correctly.

Zarincha, please use only the scores that you have gained in the newer thread; the old one no longer applies, therefore it is expedient that if you wish to play you must use only the points gained here; your total is now 114.

Not quite. A day equals 24 hours, so you actually got only one with this post.

Same issue here.

@Lyra: Right now.

All problems were fixed with any math or otherwise; the leaderboard is now up to date as well!

Thanks to all who provide the posts here, and a special thanks to Retrospect—she knows why.

Expect a score update as soon as once a week, but as late as a month (so as I can give you all the chance to earn points beyond 28).

SACK, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!

You have two days. Day one=one point. Day two-two points in addition to the first day. Therefore, two days=3 points. Comprendo?

Do not count this in the game—use Sack's post.
