As soon as someone posts here, they have made the last post in a relative, or rather: potential, sense. Before the next member posts, the relatively last post has the potential to become the absolutely last post, but we can never be sure if it will fulfill that potential; thus, it is neither the win nor a loss. It becomes a loss as soon as someone else posts; it only becomes the win when this thread ends, which will probably be at the end of times.
In short: there has never really been a win in this thread, there have only been thousands of potential wins that turned into losses in a matter of minutes or sometimes hours, thereby turning potential winners into actual losers who have never won this thread. No, not even a single time.
You may call me Schrödinger, losers.

A win is final thing, the game is still active so there is no losers or a winner.
Because this post may be the final win but it's still unclear, so i call it a wiz.
I wiz!
