Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted August 19, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted August 19, 2013 This is gonna come down to the wire as well isn't it? I'm glad we have at least a few questions to keep things exciting until the final day of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm not sure it's a lock just yet. Last Monday Wolverine was at 30.8. If it's up to 35.1 today that means it made 4.3 over the last 7 days. Seems to me that 4.4 over the next 15 days is still possible. What happens if it's at 39.4 as of September 1st? Since the deadline for the game is September 2nd, can we just assume it'll cover that last bit of ground on Monday the 2nd? So you're saying there's still hope. I'll take it.

kitik Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm glad we have at least a few questions to keep things exciting until the final day of the game. Poor baumer, he's going to come back to this thread, take a quick look around, and then just turn around and leave. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitik Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 14k for me excluding bonuses (which I don't think I got any) + 15k individuals 13k for me. Blackfish cost me 5000 points. (1K + the 4K bonus for getting 12 or whatever right) Stupid whale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm not sure it's a lock just yet. Last Monday Wolverine was at 30.8. If it's up to 35.1 today that means it made 4.3 over the last 7 days.

Since the deadline for the game is September 2nd, can we just assume it'll cover that last bit of ground on Monday the 2nd? My mistake, I was using Australian dollars for my numbers so it actually made a bit more than a million less than what I said, and its weekend number was a little lower.

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted August 19, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted August 19, 2013 I was split on Blackfish. I just flipped a mental coin and remembered Baumer saying how much he loved it. Positive emotion = better drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 I don't even know how to respond to what you guys are saying right now. I'll look into the wording of the question and I'll probably end up making both ways count. I'm not even sure what those ways are yet but I'll get back to you.
