@mob : I'd have preferred a nice , normal hoop , not this weighted one . It didn't look so dangerous at the shop . This one can give you bruises But other than that , it's fun , especially if it's a normal one

My bro's 8 years older

i'm thinking someone should make a new account named when_guy_s_on_holiday or something like that, better name ideas would be helpful

then with the new account start a new topic when will guy be back from the holiday and every person who posts a reply - a date - in that topic should donate 10wrz$ or what sum we agree upon to the new account. the person who wins should get all the money from that account.

hmmm, i don't see the new topic option in the contests section

@lockhood: wow, nice age difference. i would have thought that he would be the one doing the annoying, isn't it the older brother prerogative on being the one torturing the younger sibling ?

[LockHood]

Oh he annoyed me tons when I was younger . I'm taking my revenge now . Although he still manages to get even

We can't start new topics in the contests section of course . Only Guy or the mods can

[mobilitic]

i see, i saw others post contests there so i thought everyone could i haven't noticed that all the others were also mods.

that means that we have to post it in the free talk section.

[raindrops]

There is a games section in the free talk now, so it would work.

I'll take a bet too

@locks: I'm almost feeling sorry for your brother, but if he's anything like you he can take the annoying sis

Hi everyone! Off line yesterday, and I came in today to see tons of posts from Guy in the contest section, I knew something was happening!
I like the new contest idea, I'm in!

[raindrops]

Hi tennis...
I was really surprised yesterday too.
I came online an hour after he posted and thought first the site must have been offline, since nobody posted after him yet Not really awake yet, I think

[mobilitic]

so guys, any better ideas on the account name and the contest name or are they ok as they are ?

[raindrops]

For me, they are ok as you proposed them.

I will participate. And locks, how old are you?

[mobilitic]

a will wait until tomorrow for other suggestions and if there are none, then i will make the account and start the topic

or if someone else wants to do it, feel free, just say here

[raindrops]

Nah, you can do so, mob. I leave to Italy in a few days, so I don't know how much I'll be able to come online (to see whether Guy 's back)

[mobilitic]

well, since he just went on a holiday i think that he will be gone at least to weeks so if tomorrow is the contest set up you have time to post.

hmmm, i'm thinking maybe there should be a date 'till we can post the guesses, i mean, it wouldn't be right for someone to be able to post a guess two weeks after the start of the contest, since that person would have a greater chance of guessing the date. so since guy posted on tuesday about the holiday i think that if the contest is open until sunday evening/monday morning it should be ok. also let's consider the date that guy is back as the date when the daily contests restart otherwise it could get iffy if guy gets online just for a short check-up while still gone.

if you can find other problems that should be addressed before starting the contest or if you have other suggestions please post here before the start of the contest.

That's a good idea. And then there's no discussion about when he came online again.
Also, you should make it clear whether more than one person can bet on the same date or not... (avoid fights )

[tennisfan]

All good points, mobilitic. I can't think of anything else...

@raindrops: Lucky you! Are you going on holiday or for work? Anyway, Italy must be beautiful (I haven't been there yet, but I hope to go soon. My ancestors came from there, and I can speak a little Italian, so... )
