This is a battle of the sexes. If the poster is male, he will add 1 to the number above him and then make a comment of any sort he wishes. If the poster is female, she will subtract 1 from the number above her and make a comment. If the number reaches 0, the girls win. If the number reaches double the starting number, the guys win. For instance if we start at 1,000, the guys win at 2,000. Please always leave a comment with your number so it doesn't devolve into just another counting game. Comments obviously make it much more interesting.
All forum rules apply. Keep the comments civil. No double posting.
We will start with:
1,000 - This game can be really fun and a good way to have ad hoc conversations.
Amended Rules
All of the above still applies EXCEPT:
• Girls may now subtract 5 per post owing to the fact the forum demographic is skewed so much toward males.
• Each new game will begin at 50 until further notice.
• Turncoats are allowed. Meaning you may post for either gender regardless of your own gender.
85. @sciller45 The secret is not that mysterious as it could be :-( That was just a typo, I meant our raisins. You get it, right? Anyway they now wait so we end this count and go with modified rules:
80. I was thinking more along the lines of -5 for the girls, (...) the guys will still add one.
91. What they do is shadow the movements of up to 7 of their closest neighbors, and since their reflexes are at least 10? times as sharp as ours, they can have that perfect coordination with no collisions. That's what amazes me the most is that they can do that without one bird ever hitting another.
