I am actually having a phantomesque plan...
![]() So as we have no clear means of telling the Living to kill Boro let's try to give them an indirect - and kind of an odd one. Boro sure is Boromir88. And the Living know this thread buzzes with astonishing amount of posting all the time. So how about we stop posting after the next ..88 replies to the thread and remain silent for a half a Day at least? Someone might notice there is something wrong with the Dead Thread - and someone might then realize the number of replies is ..88 - well it seems 1588 is our next ..88. If we could fill the thread up to that many replies for the new Day to Dawn and then have a silence of half a Day... Could it work?

It would be really cool. People just should be really careful about crossposting among the last posts before 1588 and such ![]() It would be something like 77 posts to go after mine... two pages. Doable? (We could name this The Spam Thread.) I am quite fine with it. Really. Nothing to lose there.

Actually, Phantom, may I ask (a reasonable excuse to post): why do your posts (at least the last two ones, haven't checked the previous ones) have the arrow icon in the heading? (Yeah, that *points up* one.)

Actually it would have to be post 1589 because that would then show at the "Active topics" as 1588 replies...

Would it? Doesn't it count the first post already as a "reply" (despite semantics)?

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.

It was nearly silent this NIGHT, except for the probing to discern that Rune was PREY in life.
The mists swirled again and Mithalwen was among them. Apparently there was still work to do...but not much time left to do it in.

Also: if we do this, accidental posters who make the post count go over the number can just delete their posts? People just need to be awake.
Although: what about empowering and stuff? How long are we going to keep it at 88? (Crazy thought: the best clue, of course, would be to make the post count up to 8,888. But I think we can't do that. ![]()
