Guessing Game - WWtWGASE?

[Jan]

Some of you who hang out over on the moderated newsgroup may be familiar with my habit of running the occasional guessing game such as the meaning of TMoS and a couple about when JMS will announce projects.

Now I'd like to see if y'all here might be interested in one where we guess When Will the WGA Strike End or WWtWGASE for short...or maybe not so short. The latest news is that talks will resume on Monday, November 26, right after the Thanksgiving Holiday.

The Rules:

- One guess per person at a time. If your date passes without the strike ending, you can enter another guess.

- Only one guess per date. If there are two requests for the same date, the earlier request will get it. The clock on my computer is the deciding one.

- Please be clear what you're requesting. I know we USians date things in an illogical format but it's what I'm used to so if there's any chance I could misunderstand, please spell out which is the date and which is the month, okay? I'll assume the nearest year unless you state otherwise.

- Need not be registered to win. Guesses will be accepted by email (janmschroeder [at] aol [dot] com), PM or posting to this thread. Periodically I'll post a list of the current guesses and who has them so people can make their choices easily (and keep track of their own).

The Prize:
Final prize to be determined but will include at least: 1 B5-TLT comic (available at SDCC or with some Best Buy copies of TLT), 1 Quote Gear Magnet and 1 Quote Gear Button (my choice but I can check and see if I've got a favorite the winner requests). Possible other stuff may be added at my discretion such as keychains, pencils, trading cards, CDs, action figures etc. Yes, I'll ship worldwide.

No purchase necessary. Need not be present to win. Void where prohibitted.

Any questions? Comments?

Let the guessing begin!

Great idea Jan

my guess is the 27th of November 2007

[Jan]

Ah, an optimist, I see! All set and congrats on being the first guesser, Talwyn.

Okay, time for the anti-optimist. Hate to say it but: 15 March 2008

In honor of the birthday of my grandfather, my college room (one of triplets mind you) AND my younger brother, I'm going to say November 30.

[FuryPilot]

I'll pick my father's birthday - February 5th (2008).

Friday November 30th! Then they can all go home for the weekend..

[Jan]

All set, RMcD! And since that gives us our first 5 guesses, here's the list so far:

Date Requested Name or Screen Name
11/27/2007 Talwyn
11/30/2007 Frulad
11/30/2007 RMcD
2/5/2008 FuryPilot
3/15/2008 LuvB5

Lots of dates, both near and far still available!

[RMcD]

Oops, looks like I picked Frulad's date.. Is that allowed? If not can I roll back one day to Thursday November 29th?

[Jan]

Oops is right. *I'm* supposed to be the one to catch that. I've got you set for 11/29 now. And here's the revised list:

Date Requested Name or Screen Name
11/27/2007 Talwyn
11/29/2007 RMcD
11/30/2007 Frulad
2/5/2008 FuryPilot
3/15/2008 LuvB5

Got it. Aaron gets the first December guess and Joansie takes the first one in January.
