this game took place in the metropolis forum. I thought it was tons of fun. Basically 8 people had to max post a storm and one guy (spies9bo) had to try and stop the flow as much as he could. If the 8 people got a topic to 4 replies before Bo could lock it, they got a point, and they needed 33 points.
I spent a little bit of time thinking about how to strategize with this challenge, and I must say the strategy that you 8 took was not the two strategies I had envisioned. I don't think I'm going to say the two strategies I was thinking of because I might do this again but do you guys think there was a more efficient way to win this game? I am unsure as to what your exact strategy was, though it seemed to be partly free-for-all ish with only a few people in charge of creating threads. I saw a few threads that were not locked and yet did not have enough posts in them.

spies6levi (8:11:43 PM): Can we lock one when we get the five posts?
Sorin the Seeker (8:11:52 PM): obv once you lock a thread you can't post in it anymore
spies6Boris (8:11:53 PM): what if we get it, but he posts the 5th reply?
Sorin the Seeker (8:12:04 PM): once you get 4 replies of your own you get the pt no matter what
