Those of you who have been here a while will remember other times when I ran a game to guess when new JMS projects will be announced. Since we have one that JMS thinks will be announced soon, I thought it would be a nice idea to start a new game with some differences from previous versions. Ready? Here's the rules for picking dates:
- Each poster will get to choose three dates when they hope that a new announcement will be made.
- Each date can only be claimed once. In case of multiple requests, first request based on the time stamp on my computer gets the date.
- All guesses need to be within this calendar year and all three guesses need to expire before choosing new dates.
- I'll post the updated list of dates claimed semi-regularly but will at least try for once a month.
Now for the winning bit:
- A winner will be declared when an announcement is made about a new deal that JMS has made or the first specific announcement that a project has gone out for purchase (such as the recent 'Ticktockman' script). The project has to be verifiable without registering (ie: the leaked sites for the above script were passworded so JMS' post to Facebook would be the verifiable time for deciding a winner). The announcement that JMS is writing his autobiography doesn't count until it's finished and he tells us he's submitted it to publishers (or at least sent it to his agent).
- Whoever's guess is *closest* to the date will be the winner. In the case of equidistant guesses, an alternate (both identical) prize will be awarded both winners.
- The first three prizes have been chosen:
First Announcment - Babylon 5 shot glass (very rare)
Second Announcement - Babylon 5 playing cards (very rare)
Third Announcement - B5 Stargate Pin - Starry version (very rare)
- All guesses need to be posted here in this thread to be counted. I *may* extend the game to a couple of other sites but I'll post if that happens.
That's all I can think of. This time I'm not even going to guess because it'd be silly to award myself prizes I've already got, wouldn't it?
I am going to sticky this so I'll be sure to check it regularly.
