It dies if it doesn't get someone posting on it after 7 days. Your job is to keep it alive for as long as possible. This is similar to BUMP, but you don't want to go over a week. When you post, copy and paste the time since the last post, ex: "2.801 days ago". The longer it goes, the higher score you get.<br />"What happens if I have a high score, and then post again sooner?" Your score WILL go down. Top scores are not preserved.<br />"Should we make fun of people that have a lower score?" Yes, absolutely.<br />"What is the end goal?" To keep this thread alive for as long as possible, as well as getting the "6.999 days ago" score. Just keep in mind your score CAN go down, and is based on your most previous score.<br /><br />Example of a post:<br /><div style=\"margin:20px; background-image:url(/images/light.png);\"><div style=\"border:1px solid #888; padding:5px;\"><a href=\"/users/kebab\">Kebab</a> said:</div><div style=\"border:1px solid #888; padding:20px;\">2.801 days ago<br /><br />(Optional comment here)</div></div><br /><br />The game starts on <span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Wenedsday, May 13, 2020, at 16:00 UTC</span>.
