"Winning is accomplished after: A)A set time is expired, or B)One person quits."
Surely you win when *everyone* else quits? Or, if you play for a set time (or, until inturrupted by a parent or teacher or whatever), how do you decide who wins? Or does it not matter? It's not actually a game, as such, is it? It's just a way to have fun, but there's no scorecard. At least, I can't imagine it with a scorecard. I suppose you could play it competitively.

When i wrote this i think i only had it in mind of two people playing this game but i suppose more people could play, although it does not mention an actual scorecard it does tell you how to keep score if you wanted to, as for the title, before this entry was written it didn`t have a name and the Spoof Game was the first thing that came to me, im open to suggestions about a name change though.And you are right i will cange that bit about one player losing to all other players quiting.

This is a nice little Entry. I think it could probably become part of the Guide with a little tweaking.
I think you could think of a better name for the game. Try and come up with something that is actually a parody itself.
"dignity" doesn't seem to be quite the right word. Dignity is not something you get from other people, it is something you have yourself. I think "respect" or "kudos" might be the word you are looking for.
"a set time is expired" should be "a set time has expired"

Sorry that nobody commented on your entry for so long by the way. There seem to be only a few of us who comment these days and we're hard pushed looking after the Edited Guide itself.

<<<"a set time has expired">>>
Shouldn`t that be "THE set time has expired"?
Changes made and updated.
