Threadkillers unite! Are we boring or do we forever have the last word?

[SamusIsAGirl]

By My Diabolical Power - all threads I post on or create are DEAD! If there is a a long-winded thread - we will kill it dead!

It's a very unfunny shitty in joke - and we have all lost The Game since in knowing it we are playing it but you lose it as soon as you know you are playing it....

Ah, like "Mornington Crescent"?

Only Mornington Crescent is fun!

What's The Game?

Is it like Pointless or Eurovision as DH now insists on calling it ?

Very funny!

This is The Game: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game)

Sorry to hear you think it's an unfunny in-joke, @samusisagirl. Will the resulting controversy mean that this thread doesn't die? 🤔

I hate most mind games on principles - there was an abusive ex who did them but since I'm not neurotypical I suspect they backfired on him more often than not!

I hate anything that smacks of clique. It's an excuse to laugh at unwitting people who aren't in with the in crowd. (Reminds me too much of my school days and I've never got over it)

Yep. Cliques are everywhere - I remember rejoicing about my LARP society when I was at University when I said 'there aren't any cool kids here - we're LARPers! and we do it because we want to!"

How wrong I was. But then most cool kids just seemed to smoke, drink do drugs, have slapped arse as a default expression and glare at everyone else.

Being a LARPer is very cool! I don't do it myself, but most of my uni friends did, and some still do it!

I miss LARP when it was weekend adventures but now we can only do fest LARP and I found it way too much like real life but worse. I became the invisible women at LARP unless I WANT to be invisible. Plus there is the camping. And there is nothing fun about wet tents.

But it got me into the outdoors, re-enactment, how to camp in comfort and also my DH!

I just posted on another thread now waiting for two things to happen

1. Comment to be completely ignored

Or

1. Thread dying a quick death

I agree with PP, I think controversial is the way to go but then you end up with a pile on of posters having a go

Maybe this is a case of there is no such thing as bad publicity attention?

I think I've killed a thread in Classics! There is one more post after mine but nothing - it was a busy thread too.

Well, for those of us who didn't want to play the game:

xkcd.com/391/

I've just had a quick look and I've killed 3 in the last day! Without even being controversial

Clearly I'm just boring and no one can be arsed responding.

No, it is because no-one can match your wisdom - this is what this thread is about.

Samus of course! And here was me being all down on myself haha I'm clearly just a superior poster!

I bow to the amazing superiority of all supposed thread killers.

"Wet tent". A big no from me too.

There was a particularly wet event in March and it turned out that our command tent wasn't a proper tent, just a sun shelter so the rain just misted through it. A lot of roleplaying ensued just so we could stay dry!

Shouldn't this thread just be one post long?
The fact it's 4 pages long disproves it's theory.

That's cause we (or more actually I) am cheating!

I agree! And we are all incentivised to keep posting, as we hope to be the one who finally has the last word!

It'll be the person who writes Post Number 1000.

Unless someone starts Thread 2!

Try and have your keyboard on the fritz so it multiple posts.

👋 I seem to do this. And I am in awe at the writing, the things I write are so blah.

Good morning all.
