This is a game I invented and ran in a game forum years ago. As it was quite successful I'm resurecting it here:
The rules are simple:
Each time a new round starts I come up with a new secret rule/set of rules for that round.
Participants post some text (please limit to 2 lines max per post). The text can be anything, but actual sentences are cooler than just strings of characters.
I then give each post a number of points based on the secret rule/rules for that round.
The object is to figure out the secret rule(s) and post the correct answer first.
Please begin such solution posts with "SOLUTION:" to avoid confusion. Oh, and also please only post a single solution at a time and wait for the host's reply before posting another. Multiple solutions in a single post will be ignored.
A basic example:Player A's post: The pope walks into a bar and orders a drink.
Host's post: 5 pts
Player B's post: I don't understand how to play this game. Can you explain again?
Host's post: 7 pts
Player C's post: SOLUTION: One point is given for each letter "a" in the post.
Host's post: Player C is correct! New round starts!
This was only a basic example for clarity. Actual rounds will get more complex than just counting up a certain letter.
Feel free to post even if there are already posts waiting on scores: I will get to them all together.
At first I think I will run the game as Host for a few rounds until everyone is up to speed and then open it up for others to host.

I'm also going to try to keep track of every rule-set that has been solved so there is not a lot of repetition:
Round #1: One point for every two-letter word.
Round #2: One point for every letter that has a tail.
Round #3: One point for every common noun.
Round #4: One point for each "h" added to another letter if that changes its pronunciation.
Round #5: One point for every word containing three or more different vowels.
Round #6: One point for each consecutive letter in alphabetical order, spaces disregarded.
Round #7: One point for each time the last english alphabet letter in the previous non-host post appears in the post being scored.
Round #8:
Round #9:
