so... it seems tranquil has either bought laffen a beer or two, bent his ear, twisted his arm, sent the boys around or in some other way managed to get him to agree to some more Playtime!!!
Initially the prizes will be small, such as necklaces/lanyards,  torches and lasers etc and the games will be kept shortish so laffen can see how the server responds
As we have alot of new members since Playtime!!! was last run we'll go over the rules here
One of the moderators will create a new thread at a random time and in a random forum which will have the title of Playtime!!!
The opening post of that thread will nominate a reply number which will be the winning reply. It will also nominate the prize to be won in that game
Remember that the opening post in a thread is not a reply itself so the first person to post a reply after that opening post is reply number 1.
Sometimes its possible for the same member to make two or more consecutive posts (i.e. 2 or more posts in a row with no other member posting in between). If that does happen and one of those posts is in the winning position then it will be ignored and the very next member to post after that will become the winner. Multiple consecutive posts not in a winning position make no difference so don't worry about those.
Each reply you make must be different from the last. If the winning reply is identical to the reply you made (if any) prior to posting the winning reply then your winning reply is ignored and the next member to reply is then the winner assuming they also made different posts. This stops people just pressing submit and then pressing back in the browser and pressing submit again, i.e. this slows you down a little 
other than that... enjoy! The first game will be coming sometime in the next day or two
Tranquil: May I just add a little something here...
Please read the first post in the Playtime topics! If you don't want the prize played for then don't play.
By winning something you don't want you take away the chance for others who actually might want the prize.

No, seriously. He was quite easily convinced actually.

Will this be in a section where wappers can post too, or will they be kept out?
