Well, Slym can rack up the posts, and he *has* been looking for work…
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

This will be fun to see. Less than 5k to go and I think my timeframe is pretty decent...though it's a good cluster around 2 weeks from now.

Sorry, Bugsy. The only members with a chance are those who posted times before mine. If it hasn't hit 1 million by the time we pass Zero's guess, then it will be me or Elery who wins. I'll make it so...

I came by my guess my figuring out the rate of posts. The only question is what the best time frame was to use to determine that. (It was actually a combo of how many posts were made within a certain time frame, and the time frame it took to accumulate a certain number of posts.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

yup. the earlier the number the more likely you will win. facepalm should have looked at dunlow's guess before positing mine.

Wow--I just saw that 4 of us picked times in between 9 PM on the 30th and 6 PM on the 1st. Guess we all used the same rough math!

I was calculating about 150 posts per day avg, but there really is no way to predict the posting patterns :)

One of the calculations I made, since we were about 5500 posts away when I determined my pick, was how long it took for the previous 5500 posts to be made. I then did the same for the previous 550 posts and multiplied the time by 10, and a few similar calculations, and averaged them together. I figured it would be late in the day on 7/10, but I picked an earlier time because when I chose my time it was about in the middle of the next closest active pick before and after.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

I don't think calculations matter -- The generous amount of prizes for this contest is a game changing variable

If i'm leonmallet - and I have the time and energy

I create a "Just Leon" thread and go to work :?

Perhaps, but obviously gaming the contest is probably a good way to irk some people on the boards. And considering the strength of the community here, I don't think it's something that any of the regulars would do, or want to do.

Okay, maybe *want* to do, but I expect that community would win out.

Screw that. I have a 6 hour window when most will be asleep. I'll be spamming the boards for sure when my time comes.

I hope you are right

And I should amend my previous post and say its not something I would ever do

Just pointing out that its something that could be done easily - and it would make any good guess moot.

In my calculations - I subtracted all Lorddunlow posts (and also Paulsmith56)

Wasn't that what everyone did? :?

That's like winning dirty if you include Dunlow posts ... :poke:

day one i thought this was a strangely winnable contest. anyone who gets mad over "rigging" the game didn't think the game through completely.

i say cheers to who ever manages to post in a way that wins them the game!



come on leon!
