Last Post Wins!!!!!!!

From Egs Mayhem

Last Post Wins is a thread on Mayhem where a lot of loose RP takes place, and a lot of lead-taking occurred in the past. It is one of the older threads, and is also currently the longest on all of KeenSpot by far.

It has a younger sibling (read: 'evil twin') in Last Post Loses!!!!!!, though it is not quite so sinister as that.

LPW's Beginnings and a Short History

Last Post Wins was originally a thread devoted to getting the last post, and thus becoming the winner of the thread. This slowly changed as time passed. A "lead" was introduced, and everyone started trying to get the lead in some fashion. By page 500 or so, loose RPing was interspersed with and also containing lead-taking, and many ways of saying the last poster didn't really have the lead had been invented. False leads, holographic leads, teleporting the lead, finding the lead on the ground where the last poster had dropped it, things like that.

By page 1000, lead-taking had become very rare, and the loose RP had pretty much settled in, with parties, plots, and characters.

At this point in time, only old posters who drop in every once in a while and (most) newbies seem to take the lead, as everyone else is caught up in the loose RPing.

A date of note would be the 18 of April 2007 when LPW broke, the winner was OzLionHeart.

A Short Summary of the Current LPW

OK, we've got a Pavilion, a Hotel, Curtains flying left and right, shrunken Lommies, evil Chibis, Gods, Goddesses, whole Pantheons, Epic-Level characters, cross-thread plots, people who've come, left, returned, left again, gone up the creek without a paddle, and turned 'round for nowhere, and a Lead that may or may not exist.

And that's not even scratching the surface. Oh, and it's called LPW!!! by everyone who's... erm... everyone... yeah. We all call it that. NYEH!

...And I'm going to give LPW!!! a duck, just for being LPW!!!
