Dude, if you know it, spit it out! I suspect that if you wanted to and your schedule permitted it, you could quickly climb to the top of the standings.

I actually have no idea. It feels familiar but I suspect that it has nothing to do with pinball.

There have been many questions that I knew the answer to but someone got to them first. What especially kills me are the weekends and evenings, since I spend that time playing games as opposed to checking the forums, like how I do at work.

Heh, these contests have killed my game playing as well. I need to come up with more of the hard questions to keep you guys busy. I mean I got a PS3 Friday, played it for 5 or 6 hours Saturday after I picked up a game, and didn't touch it Sunday. Granted I was doing other stuff too, but I haven't touched Stalker in nearly a week either because I've been busy with contest and other things. I'll be glad to take a break after this one is done.

I will enjoy hosting the next round, but I will also miss my games... :(

If you and DGM are really going to do one after ours, I suggest start collecting questions now. Though I'd wait for a little bit after this one finishes before starting another. Maybe make it shorter too. In retrospect 50 answers is maybe a little long.

Is 30 better? Maybe even 20, but i've seen Lime get 3+ in one day

Weren't Sevin and D's earlier rounds 20? 30 Might be good. But hey, look back at this thread and the previous contest's threads and learn from the mistakes we've made.

For example, don't force the use of a superscript. :mrgreen:

Mine was a month. 3 weeks for the regular thread to get into a playoff spot, 1 week for the playoffs (which were awesome!)

50 is going to take a long time, especially considering it has to be reached by two people!
