Just a simple and fun little thing...guess how many posts this festival will have at the end of the festival on August 27th. The person that gets closest without going over will win the contest. :)
Because obviously the number will be easier to guess toward the end, submissions for this contest will close at the end of this Sunday, August 20th. Also, once you post a guess you may not edit it...posts that have been edited will be disqualified.
-
I will start us off and guess 2000. :D
-
I'll go with 1,111. Because it is a nice round number. =P
-
Oh man, Price is Right rules?
I'll guess 1600, because the SAT is still on my mind.
-
I'm going to guess 1900.
-
2200? :D
-
2300
-
*Looks at spam games*
*Looks at my guess*
...Yeeeeeeeah we're going to have more that 1,111. But I mean, as long as it doesn't hit Tau's number I'm still going to be the closest.
-
Yeah, I'll guess 2600.
-
Quick! Everyone, stop the spam games!!! =P
-
If we have the data, it'd be super interesting to see a graph of post count in this festival at the end of this. Especially with the Second Spam War causing a massive rise in posts.
-
4.
-
As of writing this, we're in Day 3 with 676 posts.
So that's 225.33 a day.
The festival has 7 days left. So if we keep this pace, we're looking at 2253 posts.
So I'll guess 2260.
-
Based on what others have said,.......2187
-
We're already at 1000!
-
Noooooo... and I'm making it worse by posting this. XD
-
I'm definitely not trying to keep the spam games going because I guessed so high. :D

Same...
Though of course my goal is more feasible. :D

It looks a lot like @taulover's going to win this one.

Your guess is also in the running, depending on how much we spam in the next few days. (For that matter, so is Elbbsas'...)
-

Isn't today the last day of the festival, though?
Edit: Elb guessed 1111, and we're at 1460.

Nope, ends Sunday.

It's Price is Right rules. Closest without going over.
-
Oh, I was confused for a moment.
-
We are only allowed 100 more posts then, so I can win. =P
-
We need at least 100+ more posts then, so Tau can win. =P
FTFY

I like how Elbssas is trying to not post in order to win, but once this message is posted, there will have been 1,596 posts in the festival. You shouldn't have done so well in the spam war :P.

I'm torn between saying "Worth it" and "Nnnghooooh!"

=Snip=
I'm leaning towards "Nnnghooooh!"

14 hours left until the official end of the festival. :P
-
@Gerrick is there a reward for this game, and if so, how much?
(Just trying to figure out where to put my Raffle Tickets.)

Plus a new car.

My plan worked! >:D
(I actually want thinking about this during the spam points war

Come on baby, let's get to my total.

It became clear that it'd pass 1900 posts regardless, so might as well maintain my other positions.

Would you be pleased to know that I did the same type of calculations with Spyfall?
And we know how that turned out. :))
-
Hopefully for me it will end between 2300 and 2600
-
@Coco Bandicoot you'd better hurry up if you want to win this; it's price is right rules or closest without going over wins.
-
Well I mean it helps when more people post than just me, Tau, and occasionally you and Gerrick.
-
@Gerrick @Wintermoot so did Hydra win, or does this continue until midnight?
-
Hopefully until midnight!
-
@Gerrick @Wintermoot so did Hydra win, or does this continue until midnight?
I would think midnight.
-
Midnight, indeed. :)
-
It's going to be close Gerrick! :o
-
Also, you notice how Mathyland made everyone stop posting right before he would have lost? Strange... It's like he's meaning to rig the game to win it. :o ;)
-
Yeah... Sorry about that :P
-
Well I mean at least you admitted it. I almost quoted some things in here. ;)
-
Well played, Mathy. Your evil ploy almost worked. Almost!
-
I'm actually impressed people went with it.
I was like "Wait...seriously? People are stopping because they were asked to? And it's not at all suspicious that it's coming from the person that would benefit from everyone not posting right now?"

I was in the middle of a lecture and was highly confused when I checked in.

I mean, I could quote the entire PM at you, or I could cite how I posted in the water balloon fight after my lecture ended and was somewhat startled when you, dear sir, told me of the agreement that I didn't think happened. =P
Edit: I can spell. Shush.
-
I didn't care who would win at that point, I just wanted people to stop
-
i mean...i've got actual video games to play instead of a spam game
more pragmatically, my karma/post ratio suffered dramatically, i was almost at 90% a fortnight ago
*sobs*

Same, my ratio dropped from roughly 1:5 to 1:6...
-
I had 2670 posts at midnight...which means it looks like Gerrick wins! :)
-
And just in case it wasn't seen, he gets this lovely trophy.
