I'm guessing that if twitter is up to speed we could pass the ball upto 240 times in 2 hours (30secs each & if we can find that many people?)

I'm not sure if I have misunderstood the rules, or if you have. I don't think that all the passing has to be done in the space of two hours, I think that each person has up to two hours in which to pass the ball on, or else it ends the chain.

Looking at the number of people that have expressed an interest so, far, I don't think that you would be able to get 240 different people to join you in a two hour time slot, but if you want to try and organise it this way, then do so. You could start a chain your way and I could start a chain my way (and anyone else for that matter can start a chain whenever they want to).

Why don't we all go on twitter at a aggreed day & time(hows the 15/06 @ 8pm sound?), have a list of who is intrested following all the people involved and go on the order of the names on here? and you jut pass the ball onto the next person on the list

Hello.

15/06 @ 8pm suits me. How is it for everyone else? It would definitely be easier if we picked a rough time to all be about if enough of us can agree one.
mTomtom07, Much as I'd love to start the ball it doesn't seem very fair as it guarantees me a prize. I think (maddening as it may be for one evening) we should all start one and all either pass randomly OR all pass onto our designated receiver like you mention above. Then it's luck of the draw if someones ball goes on a pass or two longer once it's out of the "MSE team" but we'll still all be in with a shot of the RU prize.

There are 2 hours to pass after each pass not from 1st pass, so if we could get enough involved the anount of potential passes is infinite.

Oh, and I'm a she

Oooooops I didn't even realise I put 'his'.........sorry lol as Its 2 hours between each pass how about everyone whos intrested list there twitter name and best time for them to pass the ball and I will work out who passes to who and at what time slot, so we may carry it on all as long as poss

eg. @plsdont4getme(mine) 11am-6pm

if we can get a list by 11:59pm Sat 12/06 we may even be able to get this started on the sunday/monday and carry it on for a while. what does everyone think to that?

I don't mind if you want to do that. I have no objection to joining in with other peoples chains as well as starting my own off. My twitter name is @Pumpkin2k9 and the best time for me to pass the ball on would be between 6.30pm and 8.30pm any evening. I don't tend to be on Twitter all the time though, I'm just an occasional user, so I would need a prompt either by way of a PM or by way of a post on this thread to tell me that someone was going to send a ball my way.

I think that you would have a problem keeping it going in the early hours of the morning though, although in theory, it could go on for days. If there were volunteers to do the early hours, they would need to space out the sending so that they did not pass it on until at least an hour after receiving it.

madmonster

i'm up for joining in. I'm @dezebel on twitter, normally around in the mornings on twitter 9 - 11 ish and then pop in infrequently all day.

beffffff

@beffff My availability is a bit all over the place for the rest of this comp so far too confusing to list. If my green light is on on MSE I'm free to pass, just PM me (on MSE or Facebook NOT Twitter) if it looks like I've missed it

mooomin

@flyingfresian

I'm generally online between 6pm and 11pm and also 6am till 8am (Depending on work) PM through MSE is best though as I haven't gotten the hang of twitter...

looking at the comp it seems that everyone can start a ball (as many times as they want) and everyone can pass the ball once in their own chain and once in anyone elses chain. so i would suggest that on the agreed day and time we have a list of people, we are all friends with each other, and at some point that day everyone on the list starts a ball and passes their ball to the next person on th elist, and also passes the ball they have been passed onto the next person on the list.

that way we only require to be friends with the person before and after us on the lost (if people diont want to add loads of people iyswim) and we are all involved in every chain so if one gets broken dues to someone being unable to get to the puter to pass it in the 2 hours allowed (never know what emergencies might arise, people have kids etc). hopefully that way the chains would also allbe moving at different times so even if one does get broken then the others would carry on as would be needing differnt people iyswim? would also then mean each person is last on a list so the randomness of how long it carries on via other twitter frineds who ar enot on the list is completely random and means we all have a random chance at winning the main prize or the other prize. am i mkaing any sense?

im purplecatlover on twitter, feel free to pass to me at will but i dont keep twitter open so would need a prompt here or fb too.

longest chain so far is only 23 and i just started one since i allowed the app and it told me too.

im not going to be here saturday or sunday as i am at a conference, though could probs get online at 11ish sat night if necessary or early hours sunday am if i get up (will ahve puter and will have access, its just time around attending things i dont have)and can turn on when i get home sunday evening to pass then if needed. otherwise i am mostly online all day most days.

id also suggest we start the list at people available at say 7am and next person is available between 7-9am and so on and see if we can cover a 24hour period in that way? then each chain (if we all start one) starts at a different time which might help the chanc eof at least one carrying on for long enough to be the winning chain.
