Pick a number Game!

[Frisk]

Please read these instructions before playing

1. The starting player will pick a number between 1 and another number. You MUST stay with that number. Maybe write it down so you won't forget. Starters are what keep the game going.
2. The starting player has to check up on the round about 1-2 hours later to see who wins.
3. Max number is between 1 and 10000. NO decimals numbers allowed. (Example: 41.7)
4. Users can now pick between 1 and the other number until the Starting Player returns. You can guess 2 times per round.
5. The closest guess to the Starting Players Number wins!
6. The new winner now must pick a new number between 1 and another number, and remember to follow these rules. Enjoy the game!

I'll start:

Pick a number between 1 and 100.

Too complicated for me. Have fun with it, though!

So, am I supposed to write down a number here now and you, the Starter keep yours to yourself?
You have written between 1 and 10,000 in the rules and then you say pick a number between 1 and 100...

I have selected a number between 1 and 100.

I pick 53.

I win I picked 35

[Bpeep]

Thats not fair! You picked the reverse of mine!
You cant win by picking the reverse!
I win! NOT you.
Im sharing my winnings with Piecemaker.
So there. How does it feel to come in last?

[Piecemaker]

Neither of you picked the number I had in mind. Carry on...

(Of course, I don't actually know for sure how to play this game!)
Disclaimer: In the event Babs is correct, I'll accept half of the winnings.

Good, I like sloppy seconds

Aha, kinda some confusion here. I was thinking of the number, which was 72. Thats why I said "I'll start, pick a number between 1-100."
The distance between the numbers was picked by me, I choose 1-100. The max you can do is between 1-10000...

All you have to do is pick a number, not really that hard. I'll be the one choosing the number, to keep it simple.

Here we go, pick any number between 1-100.

[Bpeep]

k, I picked.

[Piecemaker]

38

[Roadster]

What do we do with it once we have picked it? I have mine in my pocket. Its my lucky number 7, try to guess it.

[Piecemaker]

Heck if I know. 11

[Roadster]

WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

But it does ring a bell, 7-11,,,,,

[Piecemaker]

No silly, Roadie. 11 is my second guess! I'm allowed two. (It says so in the OP's instructions...that I can't figure out.)
