It has been slow in VSP, lately. Too much puzzle-making talent was drained away by the game "Top Grey Labyrinthian." I figured I'd just jump in with a puzzle paragraph. I hope it will help a little.
One simple rule governs all the text in each paragraph. You must guess the rule. If you figure it out, then post your own paragraph. Adhere to the same rule! Don't explain it. But maybe give a hint.
This one is quite easy. You'll get it.

| I might have figured it out. I'm not really sure, so I'm posting this guess. I have noticed a (weak) pattern. Said pattern is easy, but it could just be a coincidence. There's also the problem that your post has a slight glitch, according to my rule. That pushes the odds in favor of "coincidence" for me. So, did I get it right or am I totally off? |

| I think I see the pattern ralphmerridew is using. His entry agrees with the one I noticed anyway. I doubt it's correct either. I see two spots where the original post dissagrees. |

None of the three posts above are correct. You, perhaps, might have said "I figured it out" correctly. But, sadly, your guesses were wrong.

Zag, that post is also wrong. The first and second sentences are off, assuming that I understand. Which I might not.
Assuming I'm right, I agree with MNOWAX. This particular rule has been done before. Not the exact rule, but something extremely similar. Doubt I could find it again, though. I suppose repeats are bound to happen.
Don't sweat it. |

My apologies for the horrible error. I failed at a "gestalt" thing. Once I had failed once, I was doomed to duplicate.
I feared (but proceeded anyway) that this rule might be unoriginal. But don't you agree that keeping VSP active is important? |
