View Full Version : Eł Prediction Thread 2002! (+ update on 2001)

If the phrase "Eł Prediction Thread" sounds familiar to you, then it should. Chances are, if you remembered the details on the last thread, then you are probably pissed...for two reasons I suppose..

One reason might be the fact that it took literally months before your results were posted...

Even worst that that is the second reason, which was: the thread was never finished. Ouch! :(

I could list so many factors that prevented me from finishing the thread, such as the attention-grabbing Spaceworld, that trailed the thread by a few mere weeks. Still, it mostly come down to work load...and how perplexing it became.

Even with all that said... The thread was seemingly a lot of fun, and it was fresh/welcoming(yeah, even for me who had all that work). Was pretty huge too!
That's why--hopefully--we'll do it again for this up coming Eł


BreakABone kindly volunteered to help me next time around, and I'm more than greatful(hey, you aren't going to back out on me are you?). I don't think either of us wants that kind of work, but we(well, I'll have to speak for myself) are more than willing to do another one of those thread IF you guys are interested, and if we have enough participants.

It should make a fun thread like the last, or more so... so please show some support so BreakABone and I can determine how we'll organize it and split up the work effectively.

Just post a quick reply to confirm if you are interested or not. Afterall, it won't be much fun if only a remote few participates (the official thread should come about a week or 2 before Eł--it will be detailed for the benefit of those who don't know about it--and you can enter anytime during that period. So you got until then to decide. The follow-up thread would come much quicker this time).

... cool
------------------------------------------


For the record, below are a few tid-bits I still have, they are awards that would have concluded the original (unfinished) thread.



WINNER: Agent Dark (67 pts)


Second place: Shooter (60 pts), Null (60 pts)
Third place....: Sephiroth (57 pts)


Most consistent(avoiding "0" and "-2" pts)scoring: Null

Least -2pt predictions: Gekko (got lots of zeros though)

Most consecutive 5pt scoring: The Game, Sephiroth (they both had 4 consecutive 5pt throughout the thread)

Most Dramatic "come-back": Sephiroth (he was way behind at the beginning...but came back extremely strong)

Ties: (didn't get around to working out all the final scores)

Most consecutive -2pt scoring: Camfu (poor Cam...if only he were here... I remembered teasing him about how sucky his scores got toward the end...he was dying to see them)

Least Total Score: Dreamcube (sorry pal..maybe 2002 is revenge time?)

---------------------------
PS: If you participated in the thread, and are curious about your final score...just ask.

Well due to my intensive school schedule and the fact that my AP exams are so early.

I basically have from mid-May to beginning July free. I have my American History Regents, but I could ace that without the class.

Anyhow, I'm still willing to help as long as we split the work 99.999% for you and me the rest.:p

Anyhow, if you are interested please post in here so we know.

thanks for you support, GameMasta. I'm sure you'll like it.

BTW, DeathsHand. Your score was 48.5
I beat you by 2.5 pts. Take that! :p


BreakABone, believe it or not, your 0.001% help is a lot. Congratulation, you've just offered to do more work that you'll have on your American History Regents!


j/k :D

uhh...although, that's not so far from the truth. :eek:


lEatHErFaCe69, I take it that you're in. It should be fun!

You beat me by one! Cheater... :hmm:

what?!! you beat me by .5 pts!

Agghh.. :mad:

:deal:

[edit]...looks like we won't need the contract at all...cause it really didn't happen! ;)

Wow. D-RealJos has a variable score, apparently. :p

So what was my score? And I guess I'll be in on this contest as well.

D-realJos
04-08-2002, 12:05 AM
Hey...you are right Xantar...and quite a meticulous character too.

My score was 51... I apparently thought got fingersman's 41.5 mistaken with 51.5, which would have made that ".5" statement factual (don't ask y I was that far off... cause I'm clueless too)

btw Xantar.. your score was 43.5
allow me to say.. na na nana na naaaaaa!


PS: So that means... I trounced fingersman? Sweet!!...

In...your..face...fingersman! :D

BreakABone
04-08-2002, 12:20 AM
What was my score?

Did I do better than you?

Did I electrify the million and millions of Break a Bone fans?

Ok, so I didn't take place in the contest but still.

What was my score? Anyway im in for sure I had a lot of fun last time and this time should be just as fun.

D-realJos
04-08-2002, 02:15 AM
BreakABone... huh.. so you really didn't compete. Seeing as though you were so interested in the thread, I thought you were one that participated. Were you monitoring the follow up thread?

GameKing, your score was 53.5
pretty good... oh wait.. you beat me at my own game too?

note to self: next time, use prediction questions that you know you'll win.

ps: you wasn't suppose to actually type the self-note!

:doh:

Muchlafa, you score was 46.5 (muhhahaa...another one feels my wrath...suck it!) :D

oh, you also tied with Xgenecyte

GameKinG
04-08-2002, 09:58 AM
Beat you DH! HA! Ok, thats all...

Gambit_X
04-08-2002, 10:12 AM
Count me in. Last time kicked ass... though... I don't remember my score. I think it was in the thirties... :unsure:

D-realJos
04-08-2002, 02:57 PM
Gambit_X, your final score was 45.5

you tied with Yoda9864

both of you can go at it again at this Eł :)

Joeiss
04-08-2002, 05:29 PM
I would like to be in this year's prediction contest! And if you need any help with it at all, just give me the word. I'd be glad to help (if it is needed)!

Ginkasa
04-08-2002, 06:37 PM
I would like to participate.



Also, what was my score?


Of course that's assuming I participated last time. I remember the thread but I can;t remember if I joined in or not :unsure:



Anyway...



Ifi I did I wouldn like my score....



*cough*

I'll play.

What did I get last year, did I even do this...?

D-realJos
04-08-2002, 06:56 PM
Actually Link1130, you did pretty well.

Your score was 52.

you beat me by 1 ...
uhh... there MUST be an error in your score..I checked all the scores like 10 times but I should have checked 10 more. ;)

for reference... you pulled ahead on the last 3 valid prediction questions (12, 13A , 13B)

you got a full 5 pts for each of them. Way to go!

edit...

I hope to see you in the competion, Generic

BreakABone

Well I think we have enough support to do this thread.

And if Joeiss wants to help we could split the work

Joeiss:49.3%
D-Real jos- 49.5%
Me-.2%

newname
04-08-2002, 07:12 PM
LOL

sucks to be the sorry ass saps who have to do more than 49% work on it.:D

i wonder who those 2 people r;)

D-realJos
04-08-2002, 07:41 PM
Yes, you're right Break, so I guess we can start planning. More people than I assumed are willing to do another thread.

Starting the thread isn't the tough part though, it's the follow up thread with the results, calculating/tracking score...and bla bla bla.

I'm not intimidated this time though, cause I'm not sure but I THINK you said something like...

"Don't worry D-real, I'm willing to bust my ass with whatever work you off load on me. Also I have a good friend named Joeiss, he'll be glad to help out, so we can even take all the work and split it between us. It would be awesome."

Then I think you went on to say...

"We are like Pikmin...we live to work"

:D

well, something like that.

(I'll talk to you and Joeiss sometime soon)

I dont know all the facts. But nobody other then the mods and admins hace that kind of access to yout dbln account. I assume either they took it or you purchased something, ran into a wall, and forgot about it.

Who counted up the points?

newname
04-09-2002, 05:37 PM
Oh, okay. Sorry, but you should have said that in your other post. It was very indirect in my oppinion and made it seem as if you were talking to me and my predecessors.:)

D-realJos
04-09-2002, 05:39 PM
Haha... good one Null... at the very least, now YOU know what you must do to win. :D


Oh, and fingersman.... keep your bribe...I don't want any soft pappy mangoes.... although, I'd take some donks any day! ;)
