The first post of the thread is "a post" and then the rest are replies to it. So the number of posts per thread are always one up to the number of replies shown in the "menu"-page.

Okay, you are right. Just checked that. Fine enough.

Hey Mith.

McC was the last wolf. Well done lynching him. ♥

However, we still seem to have a furry problem called Boro.

Okay. Here's my version of the post to be left as the last one standing for a while. I can send it again as the post 1589.

Mith: check this closely - and welcome to our cosy home (and have fun reading this sillyness)

Quote:
You dead person!

Please read this before you post anything!


We have a plan were trying to accomplish here. As we have no way to indicate the Living that they should lynch Boro (newcomer: we know McCaber was the last wolf) we try to do it by stopping our posting to 1588 replies.

So don't post anything on this thread for now!


This post is post number 1589 – and if you check the ”Active Topics” or ”Middle-Earth Mirth” you can see the thread has 1588 replies. 1588 replies. Boromir88.

We'll stay silent until the last hours of the Day so that the Living might get the clue: nothing happens in the Dead thread for over half of the Day and the count stands at 1588.

The living might catch it or then they don't. Or some rebellious wolves might not wish to play along just in principle even if Boro is their enemy and the killer of their packmates. But we'll nevertheless wish to give this crazy plan a chance and to give this anniversary game the ending it deserves.


So do not post anything in this thread unless the Living have caught the message, or there is something like 5 to 7 hours of the Day left.

Hold your horses!

Not a bad idea, Agan. We could rise the post count a bit. Although I assume some of the Americans to be around to post.

Reposting Nog's recent one since we apparently just hit a new page:

Well, I guess we could officially welcome Mith (so, at least for myself: welcome!) and if Nog has actually the summary post ready, he can then post it... And then, once we hit the 1588th (resp. 1589th!) post, we can keep our silence in order to try to convey the message to the Living thread, if they are clever enough to notice. We can always hope!

Okay, I see I crossposted, well done, Nog! I daresay the draft looks presentable. So whenever, or whoever is around by the time we are close to the actual post count of 1589, can repost it...

I will be going to sleep. Good night, see you later, even though maybe not hear you yet for a while!

What do you folks think about deleting/editing posts to keep the count at 88?

It is an idea if we need that - but then everyone should be understanding to do it if there is posting going on here.

So I'd suggest we try to do it if there seems to be something so important going on during the Day we need to talk, but I'd rather go for the full silence to begin with.

I would also like to see the last 5-10 posts before the above explanation post, that would be left the last one, being one-liners like "Do not post to this thread!" - in the best case posted by several different people.

So anyone else around but Agan? Shall we start posting or has anyone who has stayed silent for a while something to add or to comment?

Of course we can't really know, people might just not be around at this very minute, but could appear in, say, ten minutes... it's hard to guess.

Let's.

But can we add the edit/delete part into the official last post?
