I'll adjust the total in the following weeks if I notice that its too much. I'd rather have a lot more room for players than short of it. We'll see

**Fac3bon3s** · 10-29-2011, 09:31 AM

I like this.

**Defyduck** · 10-29-2011, 09:39 AM

mhm two things

1) You cant short the numbers once the players start picking.

2) You may want to make a table of choosed number with the name of the player so that the new players dont have to go through all posts to choose a random number.

1. Yes I can. Do note I said the following weeks, not this week.

2. Sorry, I'm on/off forums for short bursts, so I'll have to leave that responsibility to the players.

It's cool, no need. Let's see how the first week plays out and I can adjust it accordingly next week.

**Defyduck** · 10-29-2011, 10:09 AM

kk lets hope it goes well, seems pretty interesting

Thanks everyone for following the rules, pretty easy moderating it now.

Just a few things, from a quick scan throughout the entries I've noticed one or two identical numbers. Please re-check if you've chosen an already existing number. There's an easy way to search if a number is taken already, will be posting it on the entry thread.

Also, I think I've come across one or two accounts that have join dates the same as the contest. Sorry, but as per rules, you can't be qualified.

If a non-entry post is here, that will disqualify the original entry and will be removed from the number pool. Please remember this.

Unfortunate. Everyone else was able to do it.

In line with the rules, yes.

**Kakatoa91** · 10-30-2011, 04:53 AM

Elly?

What about people who have wrote a number already used?

After a moment its hard to check all numbers.

Whats their option?
Can they edit since we cant repost?

For example, eventough I was the first one to post reply in game thread with 888, tankaar on page 4 chose the same number as me lol

666 was taken twice also.

Yeah, they can either edit it or their numbers aren't qualified (the first one will be the valid one). Hopefully they check it out soon.

I have plans for a more organized contest next week learning from this one

It's not the question of who had the number first. If he chose 614 as well, yours would have taken precedent over his, but you posted a non-entry post. Rules clearly stated not to and you'd be DQ'd.

Sorry, would have done it to anyone else.
