Unutterably Silly Forum Game: Last person to post here wins!

[Cinisajoy]

Hi 5w,
I am cin or Cindy. Everyone is safe except poohbear because I love chicken.

[poohbear_nc]

*sob* EVERYONE loves chicken! Is it any wonder I drink? *sob*

[doubleshuffle]

Go ahead. I've found chicken particularly delicious if that Guinness flavour has been applied from the inside.

Well, after your abominable behavior towards the entirely innocent 5WW and her well-meaning beverages, I'm not surprised everyone "loves" you.

Shame on you. Were you never taught manners in the coop?

[Cinisajoy]

I will just take the win.

I forgot to mention this before... but I really don't see how that is a contradiction to my statement.

In DC, magic just "has a price".
But here in the real world, magic follows structural laws.

It's all quantum. Blame young Stibbons, if you like.



As codified by Clarke's Third Law "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
The corollary of which is "Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology".

Or to put it another way, "Wizardry is a science like any other, although, admittedly, one with roots far deeper into the Nature of Things..."

And that is why you keep scrabbling for a win, and I am breeding flocks of them.

I am very happy with this win. Because it is THE win.

Which one?

*The wizard lets loose a swarm of wins, and the original win quickly gets lost in the commotion*

[doubleshuffle]

*The swarm of "wins" is scattered across the earth while THE win returns to doubleshuffle - as it always does.*

[pdurrant]

<The Grand Mouse easily picks out the genuine win from the swarm of ersatz wins>

I win.

I wonder how many posts pdurrant has made in the past, like, 5 years on the existence of this thread...
Not that it matters, because only the last one wins!

Excuse me? Who does the scattering? And how do you know "THE" win is the one that was left behind?

Anyway, these are smart wins. They regrouped.


Now, pdurrant as you can see has a proper understanding of methodology.
I predict he will get far.


@pdurrant, I am afraid to say though that you seem to have selected the wrong one.
Don't worry, I am sure you will figure it out. Eventually.

I did work it out once. It's probably time to update the figure. I'll just download the thread and check....

Easy. The Win and I have a strong bond. The Win suffers when it is not with me and always tells me how it can't wait for me to pick it up again when it has to stay with one of the other posters. I soothe and comfort it then with milk and cookies and a soft cushion in its display case.
