We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
@Ma-ann I think violated is a very strong word. I know that changes can upset some people but surely the art and the beauty of a world record is its progression and it's elevation to new heights. Competitors are all bound by the same guidelines and rules set out.
If it will bring you happiness I may record myself having 60 conversations and dedicate the record to you :)
I just feel like the spirit of the category has been violated. All of the previous attempts said more than a word. If this is the idea they have in their minds, they would probably just say a plain 'hi' and 'hello' too on their videos. I'd like to hear what other thoughts esp. the record creator
I concur with Paul. It's hard to define the line of what constitues an acceptable conversation, and there are no rules stating "number of words that need to be said." Consequently, I vote to accept his submission.
@paul: i am not satisfied enough that a simple "hi" and "hello" could be considered an imaginary conversation. Please see current and previous records for references

I looked at rules before attempting record and it doesn't say that you have to say a different thing each time so there can't be a problem there?

@Ma-Ann surely saying Hello is conversing? It's not like the other person could reply because they're not real.

Jennifer Wark
I agree; I think that's the spirit of the original record.
Dan Rollman
I think we should add criteria that "no imaginary telephone may be used more than once per attempt."
Austin Munn
no i did not...
Simon Kirk
Didn't he repeat one of those twice - about "wanting to go out"?
Thomas McGinniss
Congrats!
Adam Varga
Wow! Well done Thomas. Congrats on beating my old record.
Adam Varga
Simon, I looked sad because I though I could do at least 5 or 6. I think it was still a good first try
Simon Kirk
Why does he look so sad after the record is done?
Dan Rollman
I love the number of items Adam laid out before setting the record. Such optimism!
