Will you play the thanks but no thanks game?
I’ll start with posting a random advice. If the player next to me finds it helpful, he or she says thank you, then explains briefly why the advice was helpful and maybe why its timing was even perfect.
If the random advice was of no significance, the same player would then post, Thanks but not thanks.
Either way, the player closes his post with a new random advice of his own. For the next player to answer.
