After having been mistaken for a male several times because I have a non-specific username I'll use this space to identify myself as a female, fairly intelligent and well-educated, with more than one year's experience of being 42! 
The original Baker's Dozen game was created several years ago. Believe it or not there was only ONE thread and it encompassed all film-related topics. The list of rules would always be copied into the first post of a restart. These days there are many many offshoots and the rules have long since been lost. Thank goodness for gunshotwound's Oscar version which has continued to post a specialized version of the rules. I cobbled these rules together from his game so we could continue to have them for reference.
1. A topic is given ; the object of the game is to reach 13 answers fitting the topic.
2. Players should CUT and PASTE the entire list into their post and then add ONE ANSWER only to the end.
3. Players take turns alternating with other players. Players may not add consecutive answers by replying to one of their own posts.
4. If a topic namer has created restrictions, they should also be CUT/PASTE along with the list of answers.
5. After posting, check to see if another response has preceded yours - if so, update your post to include the missing answer(s) or delete your post if it repeats a previously given answer.
6. The player adding the thirteenth item creates the next topic. Please remember to create topics that fit the given game -- title topics for FILM TITLES, filming sites for MOVIE LOCATIONS, etc. Also please pick topics for which there are at least 13 possible answers. In other words don't go too obscure.
7. In the event of multiple postings for #13, the posting time stamp will be the final arbiter.
8. The player posting the 13th & final answer has 15 minutes to post a new topic. If a new topic is not posted within that time anyone may post the next topic.
9. Answers not correctly fitting the topic can and should be deleted by subsequent posters.
10. If there have been no new items posted to the current topic in 24 hours, it can be considered dead and anyone may start a new topic.
11. When a thread hits around 200 posts, please start a new thread. The person doing this should announce in the current thread that the thread is being closed. It is not a requirement but it is a courtesy to provide a link to the restart thread.
