Re: the quote game

The thing is ... the maximum amount of posts embedded in each other is three. So you will never get your 'long quote' ...

If you type more than three, the outer-most three are kept and the rest are removed automatically, I think.

Re: the quote game

Not that this is OK or anything, but I hope everyone realises that this is not increasing their postcount anymore. big_smile

Also, the quote chain would eventually stop, if the object of the game is to get it immensely large...

But one thing I don't understand; Will characters be counted in quotes?

Never mind. Someone quote my post. smile

I think they are at the moment. It'd be a good upgrade if they weren't though.

Testing.

Apparently, it does. But I don't understand what the aim of the game is...

Re: the quote game

But I see that as an opportunity to spam...ah well, it doesn't matter, I guess.

And lightning, sorry to spoil your little game, but that won't work. You are only allowed 3 embedded quotes in a post at a single time. Please read justlookingforthemoment's post here. wink

Re: the quote game

Okay, this is getting kind of pointless ... and this isn't really a puzzle.

Lock or not to lock?
