It would appear that a review of the rules of Whoosh is in order.
Getting someone to accept a whoosh straight
1 point plus 1 point for each whooshee thereafter to a maximum of 10
Getting someone to accept a whoosh after the possibility that it is a whoosh has been raised
10 points plus 10 points for each whooshee thereafter to a maximum of 100 points
Getting someone to accept a whoosh after the whoosher has themselves owned up to it being a whoosh
100 points plus 100 points for each whooshee thereafter to a maximum of 1000 points
Some variants of the game permit defensive points, but these are difficult to measure
Pretending to be whooshed and playing along
2 points plus 2 points for each subsequent attempt at playing along thereafter to a maximum of 20 points, but void if challenged before the original whoosh is challenged
Prompting the original whoosher to make a straight response to a whoosh response to the original whoosh
4 points plus 4 points for each subsequent straight response thereafter to a maximum of 40 points
Responding to the whoosh straight and then maintaining that you realized it was a whoosh all along in a subsequent post
automatic 4000 point deduction
Triple whooshes and higher may be attempted but cannot be scored.
It is a simple game and, when played properly, can be quite beautiful.
