I thought I'd invent a word game and lift my all-round popularity from its current low ebb. Here it is, it's called Score Points!(TM) and here's how it works.A post has to be prefixed PLAY, COMMENT or SCORE. Any post not prefixed properly is a void post and all posters will ignore void posts with contempt.A COMMENT can say anything at all which is on topic for the thread. Posters are encouraged to applaud good PLAY and to congratulate a SCORE.The rule begins empty and is added to by each PLAY. It is reset to empty by each SCORE.Every PLAY extends the rule.Each PLAY contributing to the rule is worth one point to the eventual scorer. The scorer is the poster who knows what the rule is and claims the points with a post prefixed SCORE.No PLAY, COMMENT, SCORE or void post may discuss, describe or speculate about the rule.The last poster to PLAY can't PLAY again or SCORE.Each poster is responsible for tallying his or her own points.Let's play Score Points!

I do hope nobody's going to forget to prefix their posts, I'd hate to start in with the contempt quite so quickly. I'm sure the tactics will become clear as soon as we get through the first few PLAYs and see a SCORE or two. Off you go, someone.
