Well, yes, there are secret rues. And he technically doesn't specify a victory condition, but there ARE points and typically the one with the most points wins...
I estimate at least a 72.37684% chance of victory! =)

Thom pops into the thread and looks at Dodger and parannoyed. "I just want to tell you both, good luck! We're all counting on you!"

Man it's getting harder and hard to think of posts that will earn points. What's funny though is that when this game began, I was using an incorrect strategy. I thought to earn points you had to reference a game of some kind (e.g. my football post from the first page). Luckily though in referencing games, I was inadvertently scoring points. It wasn't until I studied kitoba's posts that I finally realized the correct way to play this game.
In sports news, after sucking at the beginning of the season the Dodgers are back to .500 with a 30-30 record and are only 2 games out of first place! There's still hope!

Hmm maybe I should give up on trying to score points and just push this thread to page 10 as fast as I possibly can. (oops?)

Ugh. The MLB All-Star game was last night, and the team I always root for, The National League, lost AGAIN. They've lost seven All-Star games in a row! Can you believe that? They even rallied to tie the game in the 9th inning but then immediately gave up back to back home runs in the very next inning. The final score was 8-6. It was a really frustrating game. =/

Parannoyed steals everyone else's points and runs for the goal line (wherever that is).

I'm double posting, not for points, just to push this game *ever* so closely towards the end.

Don't do that. I'd have to find my score book again.

This game has been going on for 4 years now --long enough to earn a college degree, at an average of 2 pages per year. At that rate it will be another whole 1 year before we reach page 10 and the lock.
