2012 Predictions Party

[Jiro]

It would be great if I won so I didn't have to spend money on you jerks

[Del Murder]

When do I get my prize? I assume none of you other bozos beat me.

[Hollycat]

Actually, believe it or not, my original predictions only missed seven.

Stupid timouts...

Oh weeeell, that's what I get for being a lazy bum.

[Del Murder]

Yeah, too bad you didn't end up posting those predictions that got 43 awards correct, especially since that would have been about 10 greater than the best record anyone has ever gotten. What an unfortunate event!

[Psychotic]

What is this mystical prize, anyway? It's not some "The prize is the experiences and personal growth you gained from this whole learning adventure!" cop out, is it?

[Laddy]

I learned that I was terrible at this. What do I win?

No it will be something akin to the Tonberry and Chocobo plushies that other members have received through Jiro giveaways.

[Shauna]

As I was reading through the thread I kept a tally of my nominations. 22/50. Not bad for my first ever random guessing of members.

[Pike]

I did terribly. xD Not even gonna tally mine because I know I did terribly.

[Formalhaut]

I did terribly. xD Not even gonna tally mine because I know I did terribly.

Same. Let's enjoy our failure at guessing together!

[Shauna]

I wouldn't have tallied if I was going along with the thread at the time. Too much bother. But since I missed all of it yesterday, I wanted to read the speeches. Was easy enough to keep a tally under these conditions.

[Rantz]

I want to see if anyone in the official beat my awesome score. Hurry up and tally the predictions "Best Member" gosh

$8.00 a piece were given to Denmark and Formalhaut for figuring that Quinter would win Best Sig.
$8.00 each for Faris and Psychotic when they predicted Shorty to be Best #eoff Chatter.

$8.00 for both Happy Noodle Boy & Goldenboko who thought Lone Wolf Leonhart could take the Underrated crown.
$8.00 for each of Proto and Goldenboko, they figured Weimar Pluto Knight VII would be MLT Get Banned.
