We're about half way through the "waiting stages" of the competition...seeing how many posts get posted between now and Plasa @ Earls Court in September.

So Chris, how are the postings going?

Has anyone been eliminated by having too low a guess, yet?

I beginning to think that Ian's guess of 43 may have been a little too low

For those of you who want to check their guesses!, the post count currently stands at 9762 posts

Yes Paula...Post, post, post !!!!


Heres a quick recap of who guessed what:

Ian Stewart 43
Loz 6,756
Tonyj 8,794
FrankieJ 9,184
Rick 9,670
DJ Spinko 9,876
ADS 9,987
Discodirect 9,999
Tonsk 11,023
Spindoctor 11,748
Paula 12,000
Dj-Darlo 12,364
Kazzachi 12,912
DJ Kray 13,076
5Star 13,131
jjacob 13,500
Mikeee 13,500
Gary 14,500
DJ SBD 15,000
Nivelives 15,473
MobDJCrooks 17,790

Now we had 5930 posts as of the 8th June when the comp was announced, and 9762 posts today as per Chris's information above. Thats 3832 posts in 44 days - an average rate of 87 posts per day.

Theres 46 days left to the competition ending date, so if you apply the average posting rate of 87 posts, and multiply that by the 46 days left...you get 4002 more posts projected. Which, when you add that to the 9762 posts as of today, brings the forum post total to a projected figure of 13764 by the night before Plasa 2003 (the competitions ending date)

The two guesses which border this figure are "jjacob" and "mikeee" who both guessed 13,500...and then me who guessed 14,500...

A figure of 14,000 exactly would make it a 3 way tie, so I want the mic, mikeee can have the batteries, and jjacob can have the receiver.

Anything over 14,000 and its mine, all mine (Cashmere song anyone?), unless we overshoot above 14,750 posts, in which case, I lose the prize to DJ SBD but then he's gotta watch out for Ninelives and Mobile DJ Crooks.

I think we'll have to watch out for spamming from Mobile DJ Crooks , who wins by default if the posts go over 16,632 posts.

Its a close thing...its still anybodys race....

So is this an indication to spam? I don't spam, i just type fast, respond fast, and is online A LOT!

Ok, so thx to paula's indication, I'M GONNA SPAM!

cause i want a mic set too

Good Grief, he's at it already

Now bearing in mind that stress, anxiety, impatience, waiting, and anticipation do nobody anygood...


...its a forgone conclusion (ish ), that I've won, so...erm you might as well save everyones blood pressure and send me the prize tomorrow....Yippee !!!

Just kidding... I want Paula to give it to me at Plasa.

...puts pedantic hat on actually it's Cashflow; takes pedantic hat back off...

Urmm ere, wasnt the Cashflow song ermm used in a commercial for natural Cashmere coats?

Um JJ and me, we'll have to to$$ a coin for it. And I've got just the coin for it

Wow ive got a whole 128 post gap in which i can win

I think we might need to all agree on what would happen if someone who registered a "guess" and now no longer visits the forum now, wins.

Jjust in case.

I think that a ruling along the lines of "the winner shall only stay the winner if they have posted at least 25 times since they made their guess.

But then that wasnt in the competition entry rules, so I dont know if its fair to change that. Its a bit like drawing out raffle ticket number "682 on the pink" and not having anyone come up for it...whaddya do?

I think they should have a week to claim there prize im sure that is not changing the rules!

So, Ive got to stand there by the raffle table for a week, calling out for "682 on the pink" huh?

But I had other plans for the week...



ohhhhh you meant the Radio Mic competition....
