Discussion - June 2015 100 Word Anonymous Challenge #7

Indeed. The extensive bluffery is almost as entertaining as the stories themselves.

 

[Luiglin]

Is bluffery a word? If not it damn well should be.

 

[Dan Jones]

Agreed! We must make it so. We could call the Challenge the 100-word Bluffery Challenge.

I thought I had invented something, then a quick google search turns up a few other uses of the word. But it's not in any dictionary, yet.

But, once we are issued the list of those who might (or might not) have submitted stories (on which list I again intend to be) everybody analyses the first results to be posted, so this is only advancing the collusion by a few days.

So we have a clue, Chris is entering a story, so we know it hasn't gone in yet... or is he bluffing?

I believe I have parsed the statement sufficiently flexibly that no decision can be made. When the list comes into existence, I will be on it. Whether I have already written/submitted a story or am going to do so, this intention holds. Therefore, no supplementary information can be drawn from the post - you knew I was intending to write one, anyway.

 

[mosaix]

Really must get on with mine...

 

[ratsy]

but you're only allowed one entry and I read your's already

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

@chrispenycate said he would be on the list, but he doesn't say he will have entered a story. Is the cunning old b****r saying he's the red herring?

The plot thickens....

 

[marmalade]

Wow, nice choice mosaix, and well done all entrants, I started guessing with some of the more obvious styles, then I got in a muddle...
A great batch of stories, and some that really hit me, one is impressed.

As you well know, Kerry, it's not like people can apply to be the red herring. That just wouldn't be on.

Bribery, however, is wholly and actively encouraged.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

You mean I could have made money when I was in charge? And you didn't tell me?

I thought we were friends.

 

[Perpetual Man]

DG bribed us not to tell you.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Well, you're all off my Christmas card list, then.

 

[chrispenycate]

Challenge bribes are traditionally made in cake or chocolate, not negotiable currency. Diabetes keeps me honest. Why does nobody bribe in roast meat?

I'd happily take a 7-hour-slow-roasted lamb shank over cake!

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

I'll take the cake, the chocolate and the warm brandy as well as the slow-roasted lamb shank (with mint sauce, please).

 

[Juliana]

Catching up on the past few days; the 75-word thread is full of sheep and this one is full of fish. Hmmm. Good think I'm having steak instead, tonight!

Edit: oh, wait. The sheep have made it over here too!

 

[Perpetual Man]

They might be here but it does not look like they made it.

 

[Dan Jones]

You can bribe me with a slow cooked pork knuckle any day.
