Since I commented on one-line posts, and made this post one line long, I created a loop.

The post above this one being one line long, describes the "loop" incorrectly. The "loop" is called postception.

Postception is when a post references a post referencing a post. By that definition, nearly all of the posts in this game achieve postception.
A post cycle of order n is a group of n posts, each of which reference the next.
A post loop is a post cycle of order 1-- a self referencing post.
Thus, this post is a post loop.

Thus your post is simply a waste of time because both posts are correct.

However, some people may not have known this.

The post above does not describe my previous post, it simply replies to the statement my previous post presented.

And thus, it follows the rule.

The post above was posted by someone who misinterpreted the rules. What the poster doesn't realize is that the goal is to describe the above post, not respond to it's content.

The rule of the game is to relate to the last post, not describe it. Therefore Wheatley is not a very good reader. :U

To read is to understand written words. Therefore, Wheatley is a good reader, but he is not a very good understander.

Yet understanding, being a part of reading, does make him a bad reader. If he cannot understand the word "relate", I am worried.

I'm not. Lots of people don't know what relate means. Its the lots of people that makes me worried.

One and a half, maybe two, months is a long time for no one to post.

The above post referenced the thread, not the post above it. It borked the rulez.

It relates to the relation between the post and the post above it, as does this post. Relationception.

The post above offers a brief, but informative look into the forum-goer's mind. This person, simply by looking at the post above, obviously has the following characteristics: 1. They are not an AI, or not entirely. 2. They do not breathe water, or not entirely. 3. They do eat things, sometimes not entirely. 4. They have a fetish for sea slug-produced intoxicating liquors. Entirely. 5. They abide by the rules of this game, somewhat entirely. 6. Their home is secure, though not entirely. 7. They owned a dog, who was entirely annihilated moments ago. ENTIRELY. 8. They don't lock their bathroom door, or not all of them entirely. 9. They don't keep their pantry stocked, or not entirely. 10. They keep track of their underwear, though not entirely. 11. They are normally a light sleeper... though not entirely. 12. They don't lock their window or close their blinds at night, at least, not entirely.
