Guess How Long It Takes Contest
Ok, so starting January 14th, im going to be starting a 100% Pretty Much Lost run... so any time from NOW till Jan. 13th... you can guess how long the run will take. Once the run starts, I will no longer take guesses... Furthermore, 1st come 1st served on the Day amount guesses. If someone before you guessed a certain day, they have that day, if you guess that day afterward, i will NOT count it. Also, guessing 1 and 2 days probably isn't the best idea, but if you must... ill accept it. lol. Closest guess to the exact day... including time based on paradox time wins.
1st prize - Promise Ring of Content + 1,000,000 moolah
2nd prize - Festive Spirit Dispenser
3nd prize - Plastic Smiley-face Ring
4nd prize - Golden Chick + X-D Glasses
5th prize - Golden Chick
Participation - 25,000 moolah + 1 wiki wacky taffy (if you win a higher prize, you get this as well as the above prize)

Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest
long months... sort months, is it a leap year... does your mom have any affect? Does February count only as 28? if so 31 and 28 is a guess of 59 days... make it easier on me... sheesh... all you people picking DATEs at least i can check those on calendars.
Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest
18 days. You knew I was going to pick a number with an 8 in it. Just deal, yeah?
Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest

Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest

Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest
I *think* I may have underestimated.... can I change my guess?
Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest
Like Rapthorne, I'm gonna go waaaaay out there and say 2.5 months. 75 days, specifically. Good luck and have fun.

Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest
Im tempted to give the 14th day to Aramada, cus you didn't post a new post and i had no idea you Edited your post.
I think I will, since she wont have time to change her guess, and you already had one...
If you wanna change it cowboy, POST ANOTHER DAY.

Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest
~CONTEST CLOSED FOR ENTRY~
anyone who want to change their guess to another Available Date, please post another date after this message, EDITS probably wont be seen...
Run is starting at 5PM eastern on the exact approximation... (idk, 5PM or later). So if you have plans to change your guess, please post them after this message before that time. If someone reguesses a time, and you would rather have the time they had, post the DATE they had. See you all at the starting line.

Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest
I just realized it would be pretty fun to guess how many monoglyphs you would have gotten by the end of your run.

Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest
Currently, if i had to guess, looks like the winner will be either Sally or Zamm for first prize. Altho, if the RNG took a moment to breath, it could end up anywhere still... Cross your fingers for my torturing to continue people with guesses over 15 days. lol.

Re: Guess How Long It Takes Contest
Contest ends on Day 11(officially day 10 for this contest based on Turns), so the official finish day is 10... since no one guessed 10, the closest guess wins 1st prize, and that would be Zammorak with 11 days.
1st: Zammorak (received prize)
2nd: Toothless
3rd: Sallyfox (opts for a Roll)
4th: Unknownz (opts for a Roll)
5th: Aramada
All winners will be contacted to see if they want their prize or would like it to be Rolled for between Non-winners...
Grats to everyone.
All prizes and consolations will be given out before the end of the day.
Anyone who doesn't reply back will just be given the prize.
