Could you please recap? RECAP: I have waited for my rulebreaker "Paradox" to become the longest (in terms of post count) on the Active page. But by posting, I have done something that has both furthered the goal and added a danger that it would never be reached. This involves something I have posted in my threads, and this puzzle will become relevant once it is solved, for hopefully obvious reasons.

But fkist I will ask qnother question which is am I rioght? **********SPOILER********** This puzzle has gotten a bit complicated, so let's review the statement. I want something to win a claim. But I participate in an activity which both leads this thing toward victory, and puts it at risk for never being able to win. The "something" is my Paradox rulebreaker, which at one point was the longest currently running puzzle on the forum as far as post count. The "activity" is advertising the rulebreaker in the spoilers of other puzzles, which encourages more people to post and increase the post count, but also makes it more likely to be solved sooner. Great job, everybody. I'm posting another Lateral Adventure sometime soon ... be ready ...
