Introduction Compact

Here is your chance and truly chance to find out what it means to be excluded from the club. When you post a message to this thread, I'll roll a die. If your number comes up, then you will be banned....

And of course if my number comes up I'll be banned from my own thread.

So place your post here and see if you are one of the lucky ones to have the honor of being prevented from posting here.

the algorithm is as follows:

(Userid * Postnumber ) mod 'roll of die' . I'm using an 8 sided die. if the algorithm produces a 0 then you are banned forever... Just to keep it interesting, I'll sometimes substitute a 12 sided die or 4 sided die... And in the event i use multiple die, I'll add their scores before doing the mod function.

Take you chance, see if u can get a grub stake... Try to see how long you can post to this thread...

This thread got mentioned in the Wall Street Journal May 9, 2000. If you are just passing by, take a look at history in the making....
