Hey Sys Opt, How about a Pool???

[chuckiechan]

How about a pool for when membership reaches 5000 members. Closest date, Z. time, etc.?

Big prizes...New Mac, Portrait of Bill Gate$, Hdd's. Cool and useful stuff!!

Why not e-mail Bill Gates and ask if he'll put up some of his $$$ as he seems to be giving some of it away. and It would help compensate for It'l be fixed in the next update.

That would be stupid, everyone would just re-register and mess up the servers.

[SysOpt]

I think it's a good idea, but as we came closer to 5,000, it may encourage people to register bogus users over and over again in order to hit their target date, etc. I'll give it some thought, thanks.

You are so right, I forgot about the flake factor.. Could still be fun... and fairly hard to rig.

Scott,
Set it up that they have to guess as close as possible without going past. That way, if they start registering bogus users, the number of real users will most likely cause them to lose (ie. if real users register, the number will probably reach 5000 before their target date).

Just a thought.

ps. I think if a monetary award is given, then each entry in the pool should require a small fee, kinda like the lottery.

-- edit --

maybe any awards should just be recognition
