Last to Post Revival!!

Ahem. I have an announcement. 

Back in September-October-November, the Last-to-Post thread was just about one of the best threads on the CB - full of wit and unexpectedness.  People threw each other into black holes (or white holes, I remember), bombarded everything with zucchini, made up ancient books of rules *sniffle* *sniffle* *gets way too nostalgic* Anyway, all of that seems to have died down, and there's not much point to it anymore. I was thinking we should try to revive those epic battles we had there. Shall we?

(And by the way, a warning: when we do, the battles will all be won by me HAHAHA :) )

That would be fun! I wasn't there yet when they happened so...

Are we going to bring back zoodles or make something new? Or just random battles?

We agreed back in January or something that we wouldn't have any zoodles, because they were kind of taking over and some CBers were getting tired of them... so no zoodles. But everything else is great!

Okay. Are we going to have battles based on something totally random or specific then? Also when do we start lol

Oh, it's on. I will reclaim my rightful throne once more, with the aid of black holes, poetry, and telekinetic power. It'll be stellar to have the war back on, I too missed the days of interdimensional rulebooks >:)

Wait, so how do the battles work? Can somebody explain it? I'm new, and I don't really want to read all the old Last to Post posts

*goes back and reads some old things on Last to Post*

I still don't understand what pizza crowns and... what was it? zuddles? are 

I think it's zoodles, which, I think, is zucchini cut like spaghehtti or noodles.

You guys may have noticed that one thread I have not infiltrated is LTP. This is because once I start, it's hard for me to stop, and I can see myself spending WAY too much time on LTP trying to win, and that would probably not be... good. However, I enjoy reading it (be patient guys, I haven't gotten to present day yet, I'm still stuck in the past on page 90.) and would LOVE to see these things (especially the ancient books of rules...) and... well, you can almost always get me with nostalgia. So just wanted to say, it'd be really cool to try to do that all again! But also wanted to say just keep in mind it doesn't have to be exactly like the old way, we could add new quirks to the old things, or have old and new coexist together (new CBers and all...). But yep, I'm all for this! And, ackk, now I want to participate on LTP so much... maybe I'll just limit myself to once per week (but what if someone's been winning for days and I just have to take them down...)?

@Celine, Sylvazia and Moon Wolf, those are good questions/points :) It's just basically spontaneous, without any planning beforehand... like the way Rainbow scattered slime all over the floor, and I swung onto the throne with a rope, and stuff like that. Just pure imagination :) Zoodles are pasta made from zucchini, I think; they were advocated for by Darkvine a while back. And yeah, I would say it would be good for us all to agree to not post obsessively, just to make it more fun for everyone :)

Oh, and I would defnitely recommend going back to about page 303 of LTP to get a feel for the kind of dynamic we want. It's easier to get there if you go to the most recent page and proceed backwards, instead of trying to get there from the first page.

Ok, thanks! I would like to eat some zoodles. Are they sold at Trader Joes? Also, I think it's kind of amazing that the first Last to Post was just around when I was a tiny child obsessed with My LIttle Pony and frozen! It's really old.

Hooray for chaos!! *clears throat* As the great philosopher Plato so astutely (didn't) remark, "There is nothing so great as winning on Last to Post." Which I shall prove by winning. Temporarily. But never mind, it's worth the effort ;)
