Damn.
First time I've missed since I started I think.
First time I've missed since I started I think.
Thunder Monkey said:
With 116 posts and a fair bit of discussion, I think we could be looking at < 100 participants. That's not a bad thing, in and of itself, but it does indicate that a few people, like yourself, missed the cutoff that normally would have wanted to predict. It's something to consider when looking at the cutoff time for upcoming months.
It is normally a very "fast" turnaround from a 5-week month to a 4-week month, as well.

As an exception rather than the rule, yes, to the 9th.
Predictions extended until 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 9th.
OP will be updated, but I can't update the thread title.
Hopefully anyone who actually wanted to predict and hadn't will see the update.

I missed the January cutoff I think by like 3 hours and you wouldnt let my prediction in I'd be in the top 10 total for the year also

*pisses on Chumly*
Thunder Monkey said:
No.
I put part of the blame on myself, as I noticed it wasn't up during the day much this week and didn't bump it. Next month it'll probably run Sunday to Sunday instead of Friday to Friday. Morgan Wedbush previews usually come out on Monday, so ending the prediction thread before then should be good.
Chumly said:

I also missed one of the month (forgot which one) prediction by 12 hours (too late by 12 hours). I would have significantly higher standing in Overall 2008 if it was counted (I think it should be up from #42 to something like #18.
So, you are not the only one that missed the deadline, you have companies.

Thunder Monkey said:That really hurts...
You presumed. I needed to correct the presumption. You're fine, but I didn't want to let the idea that I was doing it as a special favor to you stay out there.
If I had made the effort to make sure it got bumped once or twice during the day this week, I wouldn't have extended the deadline. The thread didn't need it the last few months, and I let it slide this time around. Hopefully with a slightly later start/end date, it won't be an issue going forward even on short turnaround months.
No personal insult intended.

70. Jesse2040 - 105.57
http://www.angelfire.com/planet/donny2112/NeoGAF/points_main.html
You did pretty well on the individual systems (worst ones were PS3/360 totaling ~30 points out of 40), but you got the ordering of the systems incorrect. Normally, that's not a big deal. However, about 70% of the predictors got the ordering correct this time around (including my first time, ever
), so your lacking it cost you 10 points most everyone else got.shykyoichi

OMG! It's my 1st time joining the Predictions.
Nice to see I was able to belong in the Top 100. I think the Wii is my primary source of inconsistency. :lol Congrats to the winner and everyone who joined.
I was off by a lot on my predictions this month (70k off Wii, 70k off PS3, 81k off 360) and still came in a pretty decent 24th place.
Interestingly it was the 360 which hurt my predictions the most rather than the Wii. Though it still seems like whatever insane prediction I make for the Wii Nintendo always manages to outdo it :lol
