Spore Release Date Betting Pool! 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!
Uh... I have no clue as I haven't been following this game's news or anything. I'll say around... August 12, 2005 *searches through the last several threads to see what "Spores" is about.*
in bold face only guess no editing.... January 15th, 2006 3pm pst In keeping with the promise of one guess and no editing I would say this is probably over optimistic....
Here I go posting while tired, again. June 6th, 2006. How're you supposed to know the HOUR, Josh? Do you have some :bandit:'s posted in the Maxis offices? If so, tell them to bring me back a couple copies of TS2, and some EA sandwiches. I hear their west coast studio has their own cafeteria.
Just remember that the video game, film, and music industries always release new stuff on Tuesdays. With that in mind I'll say.... March 13, 2007
