Awww man, and I thought this was gonna be something really cool. What a bummer. I'll give it a shot though. My guess is...

36,370 blams and 28,630 saves for a grand total of 65,000 points.

Hope nobody else picked those numbers >_<

I'm going to have to go with Blams (36,509 ) and Saves (24000) = Grand total (63509).

Blams : 31,500
Saves : 31,500
Total : 63,000

The reason why I say this is because your birthday is June 6th. You are a neutral aura user, and since neutrals usually vote 50 : 50, as b/s split seems perfect for you.

Am I right?

Hey cool I was wondering about this I will take another look at it when its not to late ohnoes wheres the 7/17th update to the 10klist.

Just found the thread gfoxopolis, I'll give my guess sometime tonight, unless a deadline is fast approaching. .

Blams : 38,000

Ok.

my prediction for gfox would be....
35,000 blams
25,000 saves

(NOTE: on the web version, a red line means the person's guesses can no longer be correct, they have met or exceeded the 66,666 and are incorrect, separate blam/save guesses were not provided, or more than one guess was made and I don't know which one is the "real" guess... this is why THREE (thanks for guessing, ramagi!) of the 5 original guessers have red lines right now and no one else does.

ALSO: Green/blue lines mean the guesses are fine. Neither colour means anything, they're just alternating to provide some variety visually and allow you to distinguish each guesser's line from the above and below lines.)

Again, thanks to ramagi for being the first of the red-liners to kill her red line.

Mystboy hasn't posted in the last week, as I just found out while doing the pentalist updating, so... I really hope he sees this.... MPA is here, so he'll fix his numbers soon... and that leaves philonous, who isn't exactly a super-often visitor. But then, his guess WAS valid (at the time he made it), so if he's the only one to not change his red-line, it's not the worst thing in the world. He didn't violate the rules back in June... he just happens to be in violation of them now with his lower-than-reality blam total.

I've made no secret of that, silly EKR.

It doesn't matter if they did, man. You don't have to be the only person at a guess to win, after all. And besides, I don't think anyone has, so... yar.

My birthday's June 30th, actually.

And neutrals would LIKE to vote 50:50, but the NG portal is an imperfect world (however... my alt is at 50:50, and I might try to keep him that way (he's at 36/36 right now, as I already said... and I'd like to get him to 100/100, for example... maybe 1000/1000 at some point, but no rush)).

When I hit 33,333 blams and 22,222 saves for 55,555 total, I THOUGHT about not blamming anymore and getting my saves to 33,333 for 50:50, but that would have taken way too long and been way too difficult. And it's too late for that anyway, now.

But all of this is a moot point since you failed to notice my blams are 3000 or so higher than your prediction. #;-}>

Just give me your guess when you can, and I'll get rid of that red-line of yours on the web chart.

Keep them guesses coming, folks! GOODNIGHT, and have a good week, all!

That would be really awesome if my prediction is correct.

Yes, but you don't have to vote on everything though.

And it's too late for that anyway, now.

It would've been cool though.

lol I had wismty point that out for me. : (

A real master has gone...weeping...:'(

Can I still make a guess? I'd say you go for 26662 protection points and for 40003 blam points. 26662+40003=66665 blam/protection points. That would be one point less then ramagi.

Lol, At some point I was thinking about 27,000 saves, but then I changed it to 24,000, I guess I forgot to change the total. :/

Blams : 36,500
Saves : 23,500

Oh, no, it's fine. You didn't strike a nerve or anything. It's really my fault; I should've read into the topic further.

In short: don't feel like an idiot, damnit! Just guess a blam amount and a save amount and join the contest, ya big silly!

Okay then, I will. I just can't help myself; I'm a silly goober.

How about:
40,000 blams,
25,000 saves.

God, if I messed this one up too, I'm going emo.

Damn, I forgot to put the total down. 65,000 b/p total.

I was thinking 67876 total when I was adding up your current total (57876), but obviously that's wrong. :/

Best guess I can think of now is 23456 saves, and 65432 total, meaning 41976 blams, but it's not very like you to let one stat be semi-random like that.

Could go with 23456 and 36000, for 59456 total. A little more likely, but I still don't think that's it.

I'm going to go with 27941 and 36000, for 63941 total, though if it turns out to be one of my earlier guesses, then that was really my offical guess.

Well I had a couple other numbers in mind, but I wanted to give a new guess,
I think 36,000 blams and 24,000 for 60K is a a decent guess but I went for something else.

OK, I'm going with ratios:

Blams: 36363
Saves: 24242
Total: 60605

Hah, Denvish took one of my final couple answers, so I'll go with this one:

36,036 b
24,024 p

60,060 t

ALSO: Green/blue lines mean the guesses are fine. Neither colour means anything, they're just alternating to provide some variety visually and allow you to distinguish each guesser's line from the above and below lines.)

And there we go. Still more guesses flowing in! Thanks to MPA for making his guess and getting rid of yet another red-line on the list and to all the new guessers. The response has been far more than I expected, and seeing as how the most recent guess was only an hour or two ago, the contest is not in danger of ending soon. A few more days at least!

Keep on guessing, those who haven't!

The workweek has begun, so I have no time to catch up in other topics, but I will be visiting here throughout the week to update the guesslist and catch up on people's comments, questions, replies, etc... as well.

So umm... yeah. My car's in the shop overnight as well, hopefully I'll be picking it up tomorrow after work, but... for now, I'm driving my mom's Scion XB around.

ramagi's guess of 66666 was too high. 66666 or higher is invalid.

You've chosen guesses that add up to 66665, which is technically allowed, but... I've already given the hint (multiple times) that the total is closer to my current amount (57900ish) than it is to 66,666.

Soooo.... I've put your above 40003/26662 guesses into the list, but because you apparently didn't realise that ramagi's changed her 66666 guess to a 60000 guess (and because your sig identifies you as a fellow U2 fan! #;-}> j/k).... I'll give you the chance to change your numbers (if you read this in time). Are you game?

Nope. You did just fine on your second try. (and you didn't need to worry about leaving the total out, my spreadsheet calculates that automatically when I put peoples' blam/save guesses in.

Wait... would you have preferred to go with the above numbers, or by "went for something else" you mean you're happy with the guesses you gave earlier on page 2 (the ones that are on the web page now on your line)? Me is confused. Just want to make sure you gave me the guesses you MEANT to give me. Everything cool or... no?

...

anywho, check out the new update, all! And have a good Tuesday. G'night.

ok i guess.

36.363 blams
24,242 saves

total 60,605

rofl dont tell them who i am.

Here ya go, only because you personally asked it gfox ;)

BLAM : 36,000
SAVES : 24,000
TOTAL : 60,000

Because 60k's a nice little round number, because 36k is 1.5 times 24k, which is, IMO what a good voter score should look like and I thought the idea could've passed through gfox's mind. Oh ... and I'm a little too lazy and ignorant of gfox's favorite numbers to think of anything else :P

Enjoy your summer guys ;)
