Ok, here’s how it works: I start with a sentence, then the next person changes or adds a word in the sentence, and then the next person does the same thing, and so on.

EXAMPLE

poster#1: The big red dog runs along the road. (OG)

poster#2: The big blue dog runs along the road. (1)

poster #3: The big blue dog runs along the canyon. (2)

etc…

The numbers after the post signify the number of edits the sentence has had, and OG means it’s the original sentence.

LIMIT OF 30 CHANGES PER SENTENCE!

Credit to @Catto for the original idea.

I’ll start: I love sending Jeb on a one-way return trip to Tylo!

Three-sentence limit? Three edits per sentence? Did I miss something or are the rules incomplete?  

I want to play but I don't know how :(

 

If I read it right, then you have to make a fresh new sentence, then it can be edited 3 times, for a total of 4 posts before you have to start all over again.

Sentences only being allowed to be edited three times makes for a rather meh game in my opinion. I think it'd be actually interesting if edits were unlimited and we could see how many sentences we could create just by slowly changing the initial sentence, as this otherwise just creates a topic consisting of random sentences that ultimately go nowhere. The topic is called "ever-morphing sentence" and not "slightly morphing sentence to be reset in a couple posts", after all. So, here's my more interesting take on the idea.

 

Ok, here’s how it works: I start with a sentence, then the next person changes a word in the sentence, and then the next person does the same thing, and so on. Don’t start your own sentences - the new sentence must be the previous one with a word changed. The sentence can have a total of three words changed in one post, but you must show these iterations, as shown below:

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" (0)

"The quick brown fox rolls over the lazy dog" (1)

"The quick brown fox rolls from the lazy dog" (2)

"The quick brown fox rolls from the smelly dog" (3)

The next person may continue, etc.

The numbers after the post signify the number of edits the sentence has had. Just for convenience, not a requirement.

This is just a take on the original game and not a jab at it. I just personally think the rules OP set greatly limit how much fun we can have with the game. Take it as you wish.
