Well, not betting exactly. No money, just for fun.
The name of the game is: Guess the day and time that Spore FINAL will be released and win! We're not talking beta/release candidates -- only the final deal. The winner will be chosen based on:
1) How close he/she was to the actual release date/time
2) How far back he/she made his guess
Scoring system:
Getting it right within the hour: 100 points
Getting it right within 24 hours: 75 points
Getting it right within 48 hours: 50 points
Getting it right within 72 hours: 25 points
Bonus points:
Add one point for every partial day BEFORE THE FINAL RELEASE that you made your guess. Add two extra points for every partial day between May 3rd and when Spore Comes out, if you submit your guess in that time! (Early guessers get rewarded!)
When Spore is released, I will tally up the scores and announce a winner. The prize? Fame! Fortune! Power! But mostly, just the thrill of it all.
THE BETTING (GUESSING) IS CLOSED ONCE ANY OFFICIAL SPORE-RELEASE-RELATED ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE MADE! This is to keep the game fair!
Some rules:
1) You can only post a guess once, so make it count!
2) Post your guess in its own post, in bold or it won't count!
3) If your guess-post gets edited, the time you submitted your guess gets bumped up to the time that you edited it.
GUESS AWAY!
