specialmama Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Someone stole a cookie from the cookie jar! :D I made this game up in another forum years ago and it was a hoot! Here's how you play: Search people's profile pages under Visitor Messages. If you see a post that says "(person's name) stole a cookie!" along with the game rules, then you have found the culprit! The rules you'll see in the profile messages are are copied below: Rules of the game: if you find this (anyone except the cookie thief themselves) then post here to say "I caught the cookie thief! BUT... someone else took two cookies from the cookie jar!" That way we know this player has been caught and we'll look on another profile. Next, copy this entire post and paste it onto someone else's profile (player must have more than 100 posts and must have been active in the last month.) Lastly, change the type in red so that the numbers each increase by one. It will be easier to track that way. Please post your findings in the thread entitled SOMEONE STOLE A COOKIE! Forum Game. Have Fun! So, who will be the first to find the cookie thief? ETA: clue on post #22! Edited July 13, 2011 by specialmama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, especially at this hour of the night/morning. Would be a lot easier if we could clear some of the obviously-abandoned registrations, and shorten the lists a wee bit. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

july19 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Okay, I've been up far too long getting ready for vacation tomorrow, so I have a feeling I'm dense due to sleep deprivation. That being said....I don't get it! :crying: Does someone put it under their own name? Did specialmama put it under someone, and now we need to find it? What if two people find it at the same time, won't there be a numbering problem? Help! I wanna play! I'm being difficult this morning. Where's my Irish coffee?! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I checked myself and all of my friends and came up empty. There are way too many members for me to check, even with the parameters of 'active in the last month' and '100 posts'. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*~Tina~* Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I checked a couple profiles that didn't show visitor messages either :tongue_smilie: but I was excited about playing the game there for a minute ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I think this game should be restricted to people with 1000 posts or more, simply because there's way too many of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gailmegan Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I searched her friends and a few regular, pretty visible posters last night, then gave up and went to bed.

Classical Country Mama Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I've never received any visitor messages, neither cookies nor anything else, alas. Which is surprising to me as IRL I often discover I am the culprit for quite a few misdeeds. HEY! Maybe we should also start a "BEE friendly" game where we all leave happy visitor messages for people we've never PM'd before. Like a Secret Santa game, except not really secret, or Santa, or a game.

specialmama Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 OK I thought it would be difficult. Here's a clue: There are 3 distinct words and/or names in this person's username. Distinct as in spaces between the words. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
