How To Play

Post Ending in X wins Y is a lottery game played on chan imageboards, in which the OP (original poster) randomly posts a winning number—usually the last two digits of a post number—with a reward and whoever replies with a matching post number (located next to post time/date) is omg teh winrar. It’s kinda like digital bingo.

Examples

For instance, if the OP says “first post ending in 43 tells me what to do with my life,” then the reply “#144360543: quit 4chan forever” would be the winning advice (screenshot). There are many variations of this game, most notably “Post Ending in X gets to name Y” and roll posting (NSFW) where the OP assigns instructions to numbers 0-9, which would correspond to the last digit of each post number. There is also a type of post game where you guess at your post number for a picture reward, yay!



Usage

At some points, when there is a GET nearby, a lot of “Post Ending in X” topics tend to go up. Because both games are heavily posted across imageboards, some consider it as a form of spamming.

I wouldn’t call it a game by itself, the intrinsic nature of GET posts is of a belief or hope in the inherent randomness of the nature of chance involved in anonymous high-volume posting on the forums.

GET may prove memetic, lately I have been seeing it in other places, but nothing really widespread yet.

The history is pretty nice. The only place I see that needs moar sauce is the photos. Add a few examples of people playing the GET game and it will be a pretty nice submission (at least in my book).

To add onto the whole “GET” thing, you could also state that GET has moved out of just 4chan and into more websites, becoming a basic part of Internet Slang.

Using myself as an example, every time I get a noteworthy level up in a game that I play, I go “LEVEL ___ GET” :P

I support this entry. I wonder if “common forum games” is a parent memeplex to this, stuff like “Facebook 25 Things,” the Deviantart stuff, “which X-men character are you”, tag your friends… this is just the game of choice on 4chan :)

R-R-R-ROLLING!

Also, is this only played on the chans? Anyone ever seen this elsewhere?

Is it worth noting that the most common roll game on 4chan is Random Fap?

Even the 4chan workout game requires that on “rest[s]/fap[s]” when a 0 is rolled.

@Lindell:
I agree. Very rarely do you find a roll thread that doesn’t in some way involve fapping.

I won this once, but not on 4chan. Actually, I won a few minutes ago.

I think we need to mention something about how Gets were easy to predict once, but now that /b/ gets ten new posts a second, it’s just a matter of chance.

This article needs MOAR pics. Other than that, try to find the first instance of this meme’s usage on the chans. When you’re done finding that, clean the article up and I’ll judge you again. For now though…

+1 Work on it

This isn’t a meme because it can’t spread to anything beyond the chans. This is just something that people do on the chans.
