If you practice hard and play well, you might win getting to make the last post on this page, but after that there is not much. The winner has never been in doubt.

I believe you. Not absolutely, though. Maybe 90% or so.

Being open to all possibilities frees you from attachments, at least partly. I agree it relieves you from unnecessary suffering in more than one way.
But then again, there are attachments that season life making it easier to bear the necessary suffering.

There is no absolute freedom, anyway, regardless of how many inner demons you face.
I agree with you here, removing all attachments is like salad without dressing.

Win what?

A sharp new pair of pants, but they were already claimed, sorry. Now it's all for the prestige.

Also, the last post on a page means nothing but letting the dragon believe that helps season his life. Like salt on chips. (He doesn't actually win though, shhhh)

There are also three official hidden ways to win based on previous incarnations of this thread on other sites:

1. Last post longest. Straight up the last post for the longest period of time.

2. Most posts. Self explanitory.

3. Last post cumulative time. Summing the time between your last post and the next for all posts.

The counters do not ever reset.
The official winner is only called if a by date is specified or range of dates or if the thread is closed.

Cool story, but the winner is me.

All these explanations are silly. Dragon has been winning since the first page. The rest of you are just spinning your wheels.

These all look like consolation prizes. There's not much to add. The dragon clearly has this one in the bag.

Well damn, guess I'll doggedly pursue an impossible victory nonetheless.
