'splodes JM.

Splode JLee Splode.

Again.

Stop that. I mean your sploding. It's distracting. I guess I'll splode myself instead.

Weeeeeeeee. 23.

Also. Self splode AGAIN!

25. Stop me now, *****es.

I'ma stuff another bomb in my pocket now.

Um, no JM:

You still gotta wait for someone else to post if you use the boost on yourself. My rules need reworking, but I'm pretty sure that part is clear.

Also, I inch s'more.

Total: 9.

Geb, do you see now, what is wrong with this game?

(I'm juggling three apples. Except one is a grenade.)

The whole point of the rule is to let you post twice in a row. If I can't post twice in a row... well, then, your rules disagree with themselves.

So I'm just going to assume I'm at 29.

I'm also going to assume that I can do this for the next two hours and win the game. And since nobody else can catch up, I declare myself the winner.

A very bored winner.

NO. Look, here's how things are SUPPOSED to play out.

1) JM posts at 10PM. He wants to use a bomb on himself.

2) If he then wants a boost, not only must he time it perfectly, BUT he must also still follow the rules. Thus, someone else has to post before he does.

3) Geb then posts, tossing a bomb at JM at 10:05PM.

4) JM then has several choices:
a) post before 10:10PM. This would just be another post, 1 point.
b) post at 10:10PM. This would allow him to post twice in a row OR post once with 2 points if you're lazy. He would then NOT be able to "juggle" the bomb thrown by Geb BECAUSE he posted before 10:15PM.
c) Post between 10:10 and 10:15. He loses a turn from the first but not from the second. Play goes as normal.
d) post at 10:15PM. He "loses a turn" from posting after the first bomb, though since he posted on the second, he's allowed two, canceling each other out.
d) post after 10:15PM. He loses two turns.

There is confusion here because it's not explicitly spelled out that all bombs aimed at you go off when you move, though I'm fairly confident that as they are written, there is nothing to imply that all the bombs do NOT go off as you move.

Really, I thought the whole "spirit of bomb jumping in a foot race" explanation would have made things clear, but it appears not.

Look, just add 2 points instead of 1, ok?

Clearly you need to write more clear rules. (By your reinterpretation of the rules I'm still at 24 now.)

Clearly. In any case, it would appear my attempt to work back with simpler rules failed. I'll have to endeavor to work harder on future games to be as clear and direct in my rules as possible and strike the balance better with the "too many rules" issue.

Or you could just splode.

25.

Not now!

Total: 10.

I'd throw a bomb, but so far I'm just finding my car keys. Not quite the same, even if it was to a Ford Pinto.

You mean 12. All those posts of *****in count.

26.

*shrug* If you want.

I **** around some more. The other racers will be scarred for life after seeing that X-rated racing "technique"...

Total: 13.

Still no bombs, but found my wallet. Maybe I could bribe you to stop racing?

Those rules are confusing.

27. Everyone should bomb tibby.

For ****s and giggles.

I'll start.

'splodes JM.

There's no way I will be able to catch up, so I will be as much of an annoyance as possible.

JUMP.

Aw crap my clock isn't synched to massassi perfectly.

Boom JM.

29. Sucker.

Boom JM.

:/

Boom JM.

Stop that.

Boom JM.

I am going to Maine for a few days, so you should have plenty of time to make significant progress in my absence.

That's fine. I'll make some progress right now. 31.

Boom JM.

Look I told you I was sorry for murdering you. You can stop booming me now. 33.

Boom JM.

Tethered Palm Centro FTW.

Why didn't I compulsively refresh one minute ago?
