Second to last post wins!!!!!!

[transitional]

Has it really been that long?

Checked the past messages without any regards to the timestamps.

[transitional]

Also, new page!

Some say it might be lazy posting, but I just don't have time (or don't think I do) to continuously scroll through this forum.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Also, new page!

My dynasty has finally come to an end.

You really made a second last post wins thread just so you could win something?
COWARD.

[chopin39]

Not letting that jackass win.

I can forgive you trolling on LPW, but not on this serious discussion thread.

GASPLAMEY, IS THIS YOU.

Whatever you think of Second to last post wins, it is ... a thread. And all threads are threads. I don't know why I'm saying this, but maybe what I mean is that the meaning of this thing isn't that deep. You just post things on here. Maybe I want to win this, but I made this thread to ... make it. Which is what matters at this point.

Also, for some reason, Pianostreet still calls this thread new.

It calls a thread "new" if there are new posts in it that you haven't read.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

I think it only does it for threads that you've posted in, but I'm not sure.

Looks the same to me. Why echo perfect_pitch because you think he's cool when he can say things himself? 

[transitional]

Oh, right, because he doesn't agree with you about difficulty. How unnerving.

Not quite sure I understand what you're trying to say here...

Gasplamey copies everything that perfect_pitch says, and it seems like this chopin39 guy might be doing the same.

Anyways, free win for you rn.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Completely forgot to post again lmao.

Thanks for clarifying.

"Trump was fired by 81 million people" got me rolling.

"You're not running against Biden, you're running against me" sealed the debate victory.

Just lots of nonsense in general. I laughed the whole way through the highlights.

Again, if you think chaos has broken loose at LPW, here's a post I guess. No content, just text. I've posted something, at least!

[klavieronin]

I’ve noticed everyone here seems to post twice in a row every time they post. Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the “second to last” bit of the thread’s title?
If everyone posts twice in a row, doesn’t that make it effectively the same as a “last post wins” thread?

Here’s a challenge for you; if consecutive posts weren’t allowed, what would be your strategy to win?

Any game theorists in the house?

[transitional]

Good catch, but I have to admit, the double posting was quite funny for some time...

Okay, from now on, you can only double post if the thread's on a hiatus for more than a week. No way I can enforce it, but oh well. You get a thread at least.

Well congrats, you've killed the thread.

This would literally just be a variation on the Prisoner's Dilemma.
Since posting would make you lose, and everyone knows that posting would make you lose, no one would post (this being the equivalent of the "defect" option).

Well that certainly wasn't my intention. I suppose if your prediction is correct then you might win.

One difference with the Prisoner's dilemma however is that in the Prisoner's there was no way for the prisoners to communicate with each other. I can't image there would be a way to guarantee a win here but you could certainly improve your chances by teaming up with another player.

One could also play a negative game by ensuring that another player doesn't win, posting a comment when your 'enemy' has the second to last post.

No need to overthink it. If we keep going, I'm winning at some points. And someone will have to win at all times. Let's just hand off the win if we know we don't have it already.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

I suppose that's fair.

[transitional]

The thing is, if you know you're not already winning, you might want to post here anyways. What's stopping any win from changing hands at any time?

This might also alleviate some complaints about double posting here.

[transitional]

OK, it's been over a week ... I'll post again I guess.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

My bad.

[gasplamey]

Why did you do this to this wonderful thread...

[gasplamey]

I for one will continue to double post, like every poster has prior to this page.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

I'm not happy with it either, though I'll still comply with the current rules.

[transitional]

TBH you guys can do whatever, I don't really care. Nothing's illegal about posting more.

[klavieronin]

I guess that's my fault. I'll go into exile.

Do whatever you want on here! But it's not about the post count or popularity ... in fact, that did give me a good win for more than a week.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

I guess that's my fault. I'll go into exile.

XD

Well, that was rule was shortlived...

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Really? No new posts since I was last active?
And LPW hasn't even gotten an additional two pages?
Dang.

[transitional]

Darn, I thought I had it.

[transitional]

Well, nothing happens without activity.
Again, the point of these threads is to win, so I can't complain when all the main posters leave.
None of the other guys seem to care anymore, so this shouldn't be too bad anyways.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Darn, I thought I had it.

Not that time.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Could just be because they went inactive.

As an example, thalbergmad, the person with the most posts on this forum, (to my knowledge) wasn't active at all between December of last year and very recently.

^omg, he is back!
