  • Skywatch Game - 2014!

    ALL of 2013 is now available for guessing! And boy, is there plenty to choose from! Here are the only guesses still valid:

    7-Jan Ubik
    15-Jan OmahaStar
    25-Jan DeMonk
    22-Feb OmahaStar
    1-Mar Ubik
    25-Mar DeMonk


    And since it's the start of a new year and a new thread, a recap of how things work:

    Here're the rules for picking dates:

    - Each poster will get to choose three dates when they hope that a new announcement will be made. No sequenial dates will be allowed -there needs to be at least one day in between choices.

    - 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 (2013) and at least two of your guesses need to pass before choosing more 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, other prizes, hopefully identical will be awarded at my discretion.

    And finally, in case you like to have guesses that coincide with JMS' convention appearances, these are the ones we know about so far for 2013:

    April 26-28 - C2E2 in Chicago
    May 23-26 - Phoenix Comic-Con (with *lots* of B5 stars!)
    July 18-21 - San Diego Comic-Con

    So, who wants to pick the first dates for this shiny new thread?

        "There are no good wars. War is always the worst possible way to resolve differences. It degenerates and corrupts both sides to ever more sordid levels of existence, in their need to gain an advantage over the enemy. Those actively involved in combat are almost always damaged goods for the rest of their lives. If their bodies don't bear scars, their minds do, ofttimes both. Many have said it before, but it can't be said to enough, war is hell. "
