h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

OK! as we know, there are games,quizzes and may many other sorts of variations going on in the threads of hootoo, like "the last one to post" and the I.Q. ones etc. From serious threads with games to humorous ones.

Therefore I have to put a daft one in to the system (can't do serious)

So! this one is the "The Blank Thread Game" as "subject" above

and apart from this first written post (ie:- explaining the rule/s)not that there are any as such

BUT! the first one to "write" a post here loses (and no icons are allowed either) as if anything is printed, you'll lose ok!

(wonder how many posts it'll actually reach)

*wanders in and looks round curiously at everyone sitting round with no clothes on*

Sorry, kea.
See post 7 - I inserted a carriage return, which printed...
(4 empty lines -the others have 3)

*signals to the adjudicators*

Not sure if a carriage return counts as 'writing' or 'printing', Rod

But glad to see you have some kind of garment on

Acknowledged, kea - but wriggling won't help. We don't need the adjudicator.

Whitespace it may be but take up space it does. Writing and/or printing it is.

So there.

Harrumph.

Well, if you'd used < space> I might concede. Maybe we should split the prize? What is that, anyway?

Prize? prize? It's a forfeit!

Come to think of it ... You first.

What? No king loser badge?

What about ?

Ok, as the Loser, I get to make the new rules. We can talk until post 42, and then we are back to the Blank Thread Game rules as posted in post 1.
