Since we can't post in that thread without risking ban
__________________________

As far as I can tell there is definitely a rule that says there must not be a period, however it can be either of the two:
- "Must not have a period"
- "Must not end with a period"

There also might be a rule
- "Must not have a comma"

I have not figured out what these don't have that the valid entries do

It's not against the rules there so I wouldn't say so.

Though it's a little bit against the spirit of the game, there's no rule saying you can't do this. If anything I thought it's pretty funny how a fear of getting banned incited an entirely separate thread.

Since round 1 ended this morning, I'll clarify this for you

Hello and yABBa GAbbA DoO both have instances of the same consecutive lowercase letter. More about what they do have rather than don't.

Good luck with round 2!

The optimal strategy for such a game is to wait until sufficient posts have been made to make a reasonable conclusion. Mechanics that punish players for even trying play will have a group of players who want to win dependent on players who don't care about winning

As there is no tangible reward for winning, every participant may as well be a winner, or a loser, depending on how you want to look at it.

"post2." was not banned, but I think thats not the case for "post 2.".

I was quite certain I had the guess but post2. not being banned kinda ruined it

edit: hopefully if my guess is right I phrased it in a way that is fine (readable meaning that if you read it, it's multiple words, I decided that "Post2." doesn't count since Post2 could be interpreted as nonsense)

Is this why gyatt is banned?

"gyatt 🍑" was banned, "🍑" is not a word, but it is separated by space.

"普通话文本" was banned, it is not separated by space.

I think if it were "gyatt🍑", it would not be banned, but "普通话文本" being banned makes me confused...

There is pride in being displayed as a smartass which, as a self-proclaimed mad scientist, is a highly valuable reward
