    Silly countdown game

    I don't know if I want to commit to counting down from a trillion...but here's a silly game we can try.

    Rules:
    (1) A poster posts a starting number to count down from.
    (2) Each successive post decreases the number by 1.
    (3) You may not post twice in a row.
    (4) When the count reaches 1, a poster may pick a new starting number and restart the countdown.

    Winning and losing:
    A countdown is successful if it actually reaches 1.
    The winner is the poster who sets the highest starting number that results in a successful countdown.
    The loser is the poster who starts from a number so high that the countdown never reaches 1.

    To gauge the patience level of our forum, I'll begin modestly:

    10
    I hope my achievements in life shall be these: that I will have fought for what was right and fair, that I will have risked for that which mattered, that I will have given help to those who were in need...that I will have left the earth a better place for what I've done and who I've been.

    To throw a bone to those who think these forums should be about sex-only, we could include with our counts an optional article of clothing to lose...in chronological order of course.

    Optional, purely optional. *smile* (and perhaps more appropriate to a longer countdown)

    3 A sleeveless t-shirt, leaving socks, skivvies, a pair of cotton pt shorts. That's my normal 'at home' outfit, except in the warmer times I go without a shirt or socks. Normally only socks to put on shoes. Used to only wear blue jeans & t. Now, it's like pulling mule teeth to get me to wear dungarees. My clothes are comfy, not meant to impress, meant to be comfy.

    Re: Silly countdown game

    Oh, for Pete's sake, y'all're gonna make me finish it? I've been trying to give someone else a chance to finish this off and start a new count...but if nobody else will do it, I'll just win and risk losing (at worst, I'll break even).

    1

    Since I started the successful countdown with the highest starting number, I am now winning.
    Since I posted the final number in that count, I get to post a new starting number.

    On the one hand, I'm tempted to be generous and start at 2, so someone else gets a chance to win. But it also seems sensible to me that starting numbers should be higher than the previous (there's nothing to be gained from a lower starting number). So I'll remain unambitious, and start the new count at:

    12 (removes hairband from hair)

    Do not think so little of me as to grant me your tolerance. Allow me your acceptance and understanding of who and what I am with the love, respect and dignity with which I do you.

    Hi Jessicaknight,

    I appreciate your enthusiasm, and your rebel flair...but the rule is not to post twice in a row. So I'm afraid your posts past 10 can't count, and I'm going to have to be the one to say:

    9

    The number of dead little animals and birds I discovered in my back garden this afternoon thanks to Minge. A good morning's hunting but I wish he hadn't taken the robin.

    You silly blanker! You can only win with a count that starts from the highest place...that means this whole countdown is meaningless! *cries a little, tears hair in frustration*

    Alright, dammit.
