Am I confused or did this used to be called The Long March instead of The Long Haul?

The name has changed a couple of times @TwoCalories. As have the rules. A thread creator can change the name of a thread if they have a change of mind. The rules we now have were created in conjunction with the moderators. So that it wouldn't get locked. We went through a chaotic period which resulted in all numbers wars threads but this one being locked and being told a new one was not allowed to be created.

That is why it is asked to put a copy of the rules at the beginning of each match, because if we lose this thread then there won't be another.

Game Rules.

These are the game rules. 

As per instructions from the moderators. There is to be no role play elements to the battle. Simple exclamations that we are getting ahead or falling behind, or saying you need help are fine, but no suggestion that you are part of an army or fantasy faction in some epic confrontation.

It is more or less attempting to reach a goal line and passing to another with the same goal or getting intercepted by someone going the other way.

There is a term used in the forums called "Being Ninja'd". Basically if while you are typing your post someone else posts a move and you don't see it till you have refreshed your page. This then causes you to have to edit your post to correct for the new number. It is then not unheard of for someone to post before you have had a chance to edit your post and so a cascade effect happens. To make clear your original intent in the hopes of lessening this, These are the rules for posting as follows.

 

When posting please preface your number by one of 4 letters.

P if you are trying to get the score to +70

N if you are trying to get the score to -70

Z if your goal is to get the score to zero

C if you are chaotic and just post as you feel, but your number must only be 1 different from the last post put. The addition of the number 1 or the subtraction of the number 1.

By doing this a player can see what you intended to put and post knowing what it would be if you had not been ninja'd.
 

There is a 5 minute rule for individual number posts done by you, this is to minimize spam and ninja posting. To post a new number post, there are 4 rules that must be followed for it to be considered valid.

To make a valid number post,

1: Your previous post must say it was made 5 minutes or greater before your current.

2: Any other player must have posted a number post between your last post and your new post.

3: Your post must be only 1 number different from the last post.

Clarification: The number must be the whole number known as 1, spelt One. Either the addition of 1 or the subtraction of 1.

4: Your number must have a preface letter.
 

All new games must start with a "0" .

If you posted the winning post, be it +70 or -70 , then it is asked that you copy this post into a new post and update the tally so that this is at the beginning of a new game.

Tally of Wins

positives 15

negatives  10
