Contest sweepstake

[YM]

Ok so there are around 90 maps for the CTF contest in development (crazy huh?) and we're all wondering how many of them will make it. Well, you can get a chance to win a month's access to the VIP lounge + all the other cool features donation gets you. Courtesy of me.

I'm sure you all know how a sweepstake works, each places a bet on a particular number (one user per number) then once the contest deadline hits and the number of maps submitted to the preliminary round of judging is known, the user who guessed the right number wins.

EDIT: just come to my attention that the US and UK have a different idea of what a sweepstake is. From what wikipedia suggests this would be the UK version of a sweep, closer to a lottery than a competition.

EDIT2: once your name is put into this list, your number is final, no swapping.

EDIT3: since Penguin is ultra-dumdum today I'll clarify: Each number here represents the final quantity of maps that get submitted to the preliminary round of judging once the contest deadline hits. You're picking the number of maps you think will reach that stage without being abandoned by their author.

[Okrag]

I'd say 18. Also, what happens if nobody wins? Closest without going over?

[Firest0rm]

27

what if it's somehow >100?

[YM]

I'd say 18. Also, what happens if nobody wins? Closest without going over?

If no one hits the exact number it will go to whoever had the closest bet, however I'm sure there are 100 people here willing to pick a number.

[Psy]

It shall be 15. Mark my words.

[littleedge]

Damnit I wanted 27.

[MrAlBobo]

ill take 47, as the lowest number available containing a 7

[Geal]

I'll take an even dozen.

Also how long after the deadline until we hear results? Probably depends on the number of submissions?

[Rutiz]

40

[Acumen]

38 :o

[Westerhound]

41

[Walker]

Guessing 38, closest available to the 20s. :/

[YM]

Guessing 38, closest available to the 20s. :/

38 :o

Sorry you were both beaten by honorum

[YM]

I'll take an even dozen.

You'll have to convert that into an actual number for me. The only dozens I know are a dozen (12) a half dozen (6) and a baker's dozen (13)

I assume you didn't mean 12 anyhow since that was taken. And I'll announce it once the deadline hits, probably within a few hours.

[Radaka]

6 here.

[zpqrei]

45.

Just callin' it.

[The Political Gamer]

poor midget is all alone :P

[Owlruler]

59! Away from everyone

[midget31394]

poor midget is all alone :P

Joke's on you, that means if anything falls within a larger range in those parts, then I have a higher chance of winning. IF that happens >.>

[Tech]

[Minilandstan]

[Acumen]

oh well, add 10 to it.

[Dr. ROCKZO]

48, it's gotta be more likely than 5.

EDIT: Ah, Acumen. Um, 49 then?

[drp]

I'd say 18. Also, what happens if nobody wins? Closest without going over?

[Jakkarra]

I don't see a reaon NOT to do this.

[YM]

Normally with a sweepstake, each person will put a small amount into the pot on casting their vote.. Since I can't get you all to donate a little money, I made a deal with a certain deity and was assured each of you would donate a small but important part of your soul when you placed your bets.

[Sel]

god dammit ym

[Owlruler]

Sorry, you can't have part of my soul, gamestation already owns it. (http://newslite.tv/2010/04/06/7500-shoppers-unknowingly-sold.html)

Bosses also say they will not be enforcing their rights and will now email customers nullifying any claim on their soul.

Hmmm looks like your soul is back up for grabs.

[The Political Gamer]

Looks like HeaH Frush is going to win

[Sel]

give me donor status anyway ym

[YM]

Congratulations to frush, You'll receive a month's worth of vip status shortly.

[Ezekel]

[Mick-a-nator]

Congrats frush.
