I am having a hard time to see the difference. I am not counting any edited comments even if that does screw up the count. When I count everything is paused. It is too late to make an edit then. SO although it may be possible to bend that rule. I think it is difficult. You can play with it more next time. You did a great job messing up the count. I thought it was funny. I made a mistake I won't make next time. I gave the numbers out when I saw 51. There weren't 51 comments yet. Next time I will not publish the answers until I see all the winners. I have to record it on paper first before numbering them on the block chain.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It would be hard to game this particular rule to win #51, but pretty easy to scheme to win #41.
I just have to be #42 and have posted at least one comment prior to #41, then make sure that I edit one of my prior comments just before the game is finalized (to invalidate it, moving all the successive counts up by one). That moves my #42 comment into the #41 slot.
That sounds like a good plan. A few weeks later I will try a round 4 and you can play with the rules. I'd like to see you try it then.^^
